  1. John John One in the beginning was the Word, and

  2. the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

  3. He was in the beginning with God. All things were

  4. made through him, and without him was not anything made.

  5. That was made. In him was life, and the life

  6. was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness,

  7. and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a

  8. man sent from God whose name was John. He came

  9. as a witness to bear witness about the Light, that

  10. all might believe through him. He was not the light,

  11. but came to bear witness about the light, the true light,

  12. which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was

  13. in the world, and the world was made through him.

  14. Yet the world did not know him. He came to

  15. his own and his own people did not receive them,

  16. but to all who did receive them, who believed in

  17. his name. He gave the right to become children of God,

  18. who were born not of blood, nor the will of

  19. the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God.

  20. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And

  21. we have seen his glory. Glory is of the only

  22. son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John

  23. Bore witness about him and cried out.

  24. This was he of whom I said, he who comes

  25. after me ranks before me, because he was before me.

  26. And from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace,

  27. For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth

  28. came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God,

  29. the only God who is at the Father's side. He

  30. has made him known. And this is the testimony of John.

  31. When the Jews sent priest and Levi from Jerusalem to

  32. ask him, who are you? He confessed and did not deny,

  33. but confessed.

  34. I am not the Christ.

  35. And they asked him, what then are you?

  36. Elijah?

  37. He said, I am not Are you the Prophet? And

  38. he answered no. So they said to him, who are you?

  39. We need to give an answer to those who sent us.

  40. What do you say about yourself? He said, I am the.

  41. Voice of one crying out in the wilderness. Make straight

  42. the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.

  43. Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

  44. They asked him, and why are you baptizing if you

  45. are neither the Christ, nor Elijah nor the Prophet.

  46. John answered them.

  47. I baptized with water, but among you stands one you

  48. do not know, even he who comes after me, strap

  49. of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.

  50. These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where

  51. John was baptizing. The next day, he saw Jesus coming

  52. toward him and said.

  53. Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin

  54. of the world. This is he of whom I said,

  55. after me comes a man who ranks before me. Because

  56. he was before me, I myself did not know him.

  57. But for this purpose I came baptized with water that

  58. he might be revealed to Israel.

  59. And John bore witness.

  60. I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove,

  61. and it remained on him. I myself did not know him.

  62. But he who sent me to baptize with water said

  63. to me, he on whom you see the spirit descend

  64. and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

  65. And I have seen and have bored witness that this

  66. WHI is the son of God.

  67. The next day, again John was standing with two of

  68. his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by,

  69. and said.

  70. Behold the Lamb of God.

  71. The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

  72. Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them,

  73. what are you seeking? And they said to him, Rabbi,

  74. which means teacher, where are you staying. He said to them,

  75. come and you will see. So they came and saw

  76. where he was staying. And they stayed with him that day,

  77. for it was about the tenth hour. One of the

  78. two who heard John speak and follow Jesus was Andrew, Simon,

  79. Peter's brother. He first found his own brother, Simon and

  80. said to him, we have found the Messiah, which means Christ.

  81. He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said.

  82. So you are Simon, the son of John. You shall

  83. be called Cephus.

  84. Which means Peter. The next day Jesus decided to go

  85. to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him follow me. Now.

  86. Philip was from Bassayada, the city of Andrew. And Peter

  87. found Nathaniel and said to him, we have found him

  88. of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets

  89. wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nathaniel said

  90. to him.

  91. Can anything good come out of Nazareth.

  92. Philip said to him, come and see. Jesus saw Nathaniel

  93. coming toward him, and said of him.

  94. Behold and israelied indeed in whom there is no deceit.

  95. Nathaniel said to him, how do you know me? Jesus

  96. answered him.

  97. Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,

  98. I saw you.

  99. Nathaniel answered him.

  100. Rabbi, you are the son of God.

  101. You are the king of Israel.

  102. Jesus answered him.

  103. Because I said to you I saw you under the

  104. fig tree. Do you believe you will see greater things

  105. than these?

  106. And he said to him.

  107. Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see Heaven opened,

  108. and the angels of God ascending and descending on the

  109. son of man.

  110. John. Two. On the third day, there was a wedding

  111. at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

  112. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.

  113. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said.

  114. To him, they have no wine.

  115. And Jesus said to her woman, what does this have

  116. to do with me?

  117. My hour has not yet come.

  118. His mother said to the servants.

  119. Do whatever he tells you.

  120. Now. There were six stone water jars there for the

  121. Jewish ribe. It's a purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

  122. Jesus said to the servants, fill the jars with water,

  123. and they filled them up to the brim, and he

  124. said to.

  125. Them, now draw some out and take it to the

  126. master of the feast.

  127. So they took it. When the master of the feast

  128. tasted the water now become wine, and did not know

  129. where it came from, though the servants who had drawn

  130. the water new. The master of the feast called the

  131. bridegroom and said to him.

  132. Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have

  133. drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept

  134. the good wine until now.

  135. This the first of his signs. Jesus did at Cana

  136. in Galilee and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed

  137. in him. After this, he went down to Capernaum with

  138. his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they

  139. stayed there for a few days. The passover of the

  140. Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Erusalem.

  141. In the temple, he found those who were selling oxen

  142. and sheep and pigeons and the money changers sitting there

  143. and making a whip of cords. He drove them all

  144. out of the temple with the sheaf and oxen, and

  145. he poured out the coins of the money changers and

  146. overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the.

  147. Pigeons, take these things away. Do not make my father's

  148. house a house of trade.

  149. His disciples remembered that it was written.

  150. Zeal toward your house will consume me.

  151. So the Jews said to.

  152. Him, what sign do you show us for doing these things?

  153. Jesus answered them.

  154. Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise

  155. it up.

  156. The Jews then said, it has taken forty six years

  157. to build this temple, and will you raise it up

  158. in three days?

  159. But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

  160. When therefore he was raised from the dead. His disciples

  161. remembered that he had said this, and they believed the

  162. scripture in the word that Jesus had spoken. Now, when

  163. he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed

  164. in his name when they saw the signs that he

  165. was doing. But Jesus, on his part, did not entrust

  166. himself to them, because he knew all people and needed

  167. no one to bear witness about man, for he himself

  168. knew what was in man. John three. Now there was

  169. a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of

  170. the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and

  171. said to him.

  172. Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher.

  173. Come from God.

  174. For no one can do these signs that you do

  175. unless God.

  176. Is with him. Jesus answered him.

  177. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again,

  178. yet he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

  179. Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born

  180. when he is old?

  181. Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb

  182. and be born?

  183. Jesus answered, truly, truly, I say to you, unless one

  184. is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter

  185. the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the

  186. flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the

  187. spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to

  188. you you must be born again. The wind blows where

  189. it wishes, and you hear it sound, but you do

  190. not know where it comes from or where it goes.

  191. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

  192. Nicodemus said to him, how can these things be? Jesus

  193. answered him, are you.

  194. The teacher of Israel? And yet you do not understand

  195. these things? Truly? Truly, I say to you, we speak

  196. of what we know and bear witness to what we

  197. have seen, But you do not receive our testimony. If

  198. I have told you earthly things and you do not believe,

  199. how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things.

  200. No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended

  201. from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted

  202. up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son

  203. of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him

  204. may have eternal life. For God so loved the world

  205. that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in

  206. him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God

  207. did not send his son into the world to condemn

  208. the world, but in order that the world might be

  209. saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned.

  210. But whoever does not believe is condemned already because he

  211. is not believed in the name of the only Son

  212. of God. And this is the judgment. The light has

  213. come into the world, and people love the darkness rather

  214. than the light, because their works were evil. For everyone

  215. who does wicked things hates the light and does not

  216. come to the light lest his works should be exposed.

  217. But whoever does what is true, comes to the light,

  218. so that it may be clearly seen that his works

  219. have been carried out in God.

  220. After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Jidean countryside,

  221. and he remained there with them and was baptizing. John

  222. also was baptizing an Ina near Salem, because water was

  223. plentiful there and people were coming and being baptized, for

  224. John had not yet been put in prison. Now a

  225. discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew

  226. over purification, and they came to John and said to.

  227. Him, Rabbi, he who is with you across the Jordan,

  228. to whom you bore witness. Look he is baptizing and

  229. all are going to him.

  230. John answered, a person cannot receive even one thing unless

  231. it is given him from Heaven. You yourselves bear me

  232. witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but

  233. I have been sent before him. The one who has

  234. the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom,

  235. who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore,

  236. this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase,

  237. but I must decrease.

  238. He who comes from above is above all. He who

  239. is of the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks

  240. in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is

  241. above all. He bears witness to what he has seen

  242. and heard. Yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever receives

  243. his testimony sets his seal to this. That God is true.

  244. For he whom God is sent utters the words of God.

  245. For he gives the spirit without measure. The Father loves

  246. the Son, and its given all things into his hand.

  247. Whoever believes in the Sun has eternal life. Whoever does

  248. not obey the Son shall not see life, but the

  249. wrath of God remains on him. John four. Now, when

  250. Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was

  251. making and baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself

  252. did not baptize but only his disciples, he left Judea

  253. and departed again for Galilee, and he had to pass

  254. through Samaria. So he came to a town of Samaria

  255. called Psychar, near the field that Jacob had given to

  256. his son Joseph. Jacob's will was there. So Jesus, wearied

  257. as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well.

  258. It was about the sixth hour. A woman from Samaria

  259. came to draw water. Jesus said to her, give me

  260. a drink, for his disciples had gone away into the

  261. city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him.

  262. How is it that you, a Jew ask for a

  263. drink from me, a woman of Samaria, For.

  264. Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered her.

  265. If you knew the gift of God and who it

  266. is that is saying to you give me a drink,

  267. you would have asked him and he would have given

  268. you living water.

  269. The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to

  270. draw water with, and the well is deeed. Where do

  271. you get that living water? Are you greater than our

  272. father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from

  273. it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.

  274. Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water

  275. will be thirsty again.

  276. But whoever drinks of the water or that I will

  277. give him will never be thirsty again. The water that

  278. I will give him will become in him a spring

  279. of water welling up to eternal life.

  280. The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water,

  281. so that I will not be thirsty or have to

  282. come here to draw water.

  283. Jesus said to her.

  284. Go call your husband and come here.

  285. The woman answered.

  286. Him, I have no husband.

  287. Jesus said to her, you are right in saying I

  288. have no husband, for you have had five husbands, and

  289. the one you now have is not your husband.

  290. What you have said is true.

  291. The woman said to him.

  292. Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our father's

  293. worshiped on this mountain. But you say that in Jerusalem

  294. is the place where people ought to worship him.

  295. Jesus said to her, woman, believe me.

  296. The hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor

  297. in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what

  298. you do not know. We worship what we know, for

  299. salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming

  300. and is now here when the true worshipers will worship

  301. the Father in spirit and truth. For the Father is

  302. seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and

  303. those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

  304. The woman said to him.

  305. I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ.

  306. When he comes, he will tell us all things.

  307. Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, am he.

  308. Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he

  309. was talking with a woman. But no one said what

  310. do you seek or why are you talking with her?

  311. So the woman left her water jar and went away

  312. into town and said to the people.

  313. Come see a man who told me all that I

  314. ever did. Can this be the Christ?

  315. They went out of the town and were coming to him. Meanwhile,

  316. the disciples were urging him, saying, Rabbi, eat, But he

  317. said to them.

  318. I have food to eat that you do not know about.

  319. So the disciples said to one another.

  320. Has anyone brought him something to eat?

  321. Jesus said to them, my food is to do the

  322. will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

  323. Do you not say there are yet four months? Then

  324. comes the harvest. Look, I tell you, lift up your

  325. eyes and see that the fields are white. For harvest already.

  326. The one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit

  327. for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper may

  328. rejoice together. For here the saying holds true. One sows

  329. in another reaps. I sent you to reap that for

  330. which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you

  331. have entered into their labor.

  332. Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of

  333. the woman's testimony. He told me all that I ever did.

  334. So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him

  335. to stay with them, and he stayed there two days,

  336. and many more believed because of his word. They said

  337. to the woman.

  338. It is no longer because of what you said that

  339. we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we

  340. know that this is indeed the savior of the world.

  341. After the two days, he departed for Galilee. For Jesus

  342. himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in

  343. his own hometown. So when he came to Galilee, the

  344. Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done

  345. in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone

  346. to the feast. So he came again to Cana in Galilee,

  347. where he had made the water wine, and there was

  348. an official whose son was ill. When this man heard

  349. that Jesus had come from Jedea to Galilee, he went

  350. to him and asked him to come down and heal

  351. his son, for he was at the point of death.

  352. So Jesus said to him.

  353. Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.

  354. The official said to him, sir, come down before my

  355. child dies. Jesus said to him, go, your son will live.

  356. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him

  357. and went on his way. As he was going down,

  358. his servants met him and told him that his son

  359. was recovering. So he asked them the hour when he

  360. began to get better, and they said to.

  361. Him, yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

  362. The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had

  363. said to him, your son will live, and he himself

  364. believed in all his household. This was now the second

  365. sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea

  366. to Galilee. John five. After this there was a feast

  367. of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now

  368. there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool

  369. in Aramaic called Besesta, which has five roofed colonnades. In

  370. these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, and paralyzed.

  371. One man was there who had been an invalid for

  372. thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and

  373. knew that he had already been there a long time,

  374. he said to.

  375. Him, do you want to be healed?

  376. The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no.

  377. One to put me into the pool when.

  378. The water has stirred up, And while I'm going another

  379. steps down.

  380. Before Jesus said to him, get up, take up your bed,

  381. and walk. And at once the man was healed, and

  382. he took up his bed and walked. Now that day

  383. was the sabbath. So the Jews said to the man

  384. who had been healed, it is.

  385. The sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to

  386. take up your bed.

  387. But he answered them.

  388. The man who healed me. That man said to me,

  389. take up your bed and walk.

  390. They asked him, who is the man who said to

  391. you take up your bed and walk.

  392. Now, the man who had been healed did not know

  393. who it was for Jesus had withdrawn as there was

  394. a crowd in the place. Afterward, Jesus found him in

  395. the temple and said to him.

  396. See you are well, sin no more, that nothing worse

  397. may happen to you.

  398. The man went away and told the Jews that it

  399. was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why

  400. the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these

  401. things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered them, then.

  402. My father is working until now, and I am working.

  403. This was why the Jews were seeking all the more

  404. to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath,

  405. but he was even calling God his own father, making

  406. himself equal with God. So Jesus said to them.

  407. Truly, truly, I say to you, the son can do

  408. nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees

  409. the Father doing. For whatever the father does, that the

  410. son does likewise. For the Father loves the son and

  411. shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater

  412. works than these will he show him, so that you

  413. may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and

  414. gives them life, so also the son gives life to

  415. whom he will. The Father judges no one, but has

  416. given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor

  417. the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does

  418. not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who

  419. send him. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears

  420. my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.

  421. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from

  422. death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, an

  423. hour is coming and is now here, when the dead

  424. will hear the voice of the Son of God, and

  425. those who hear will live. For as the Father has

  426. life in himself, so he is granted the Son also

  427. to have life in himself, and he has given him

  428. authority to execute judgment, because he is the son of man.

  429. Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming

  430. when all who are in the tombs will hear his

  431. voice and come out, those who have done good to

  432. the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil

  433. to the resurrection of judgment. I can do nothing on

  434. my own as I hear, I judge, and my judgment

  435. is just because I seek not my own will, but

  436. the will of Him who sent me. If I alone

  437. bear witness about myself. My testimony is not deemed true.

  438. There is another who bears witness about me, and I

  439. know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.

  440. You sent to John, and he is born witness to

  441. the truth. Not that the testimony that I receive is

  442. from man. But I say these things so that you

  443. may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp,

  444. and you were willing to rejoice for a while in

  445. his light. But the testimony that I have is greater

  446. than that of John. For the works that the Father

  447. has given me to accomplish, the very works that I

  448. am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has

  449. sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself

  450. born witness about me his voice. You have never heard

  451. his form, you have never seen and you do not

  452. have his word abiding in you, for you do not

  453. believe the one whom he has sent.

  454. You.

  455. Search the scriptures because you think that in them you

  456. have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness

  457. about me. Yet you refuse to come to me that

  458. you may have life. I do not receive glory from people,

  459. but I know that you do not have the love

  460. of God within you. You. I have come in my

  461. father's name, and you do not receive me. If another

  462. comes in his own name, you will receive him. How

  463. can you believe when you receive glory from one another

  464. and do not seek the glory that comes from the

  465. only God. Do not think that I will accuse you

  466. to the father. There is one who accuses you, Moses

  467. on whom you have set your hope. For if you

  468. believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me.

  469. But if you do not believe his writings, how will

  470. you believe my words?

  471. John six. After this, Jesus went away to the other

  472. side of the sea Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberius,

  473. and a large crowd was following him because they saw

  474. the signs that he was doing on the sick. Jesus

  475. went up on the mountain, and there he sat down

  476. with his disciples. Now the passover, the feast of the Jews,

  477. was at hand. Lifting up his eyes then, and seeing

  478. that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said

  479. to Philip, where.

  480. Are we to buy bread so that these people may eat.

  481. He said this to test him, for he himself knew

  482. what he would do. Philip answered him.

  483. Two hundred denari I would not buy enough bread for

  484. each of them to get a little.

  485. One of his disciples, Andrew Simon, Peter's brother, said to him, there.

  486. Is a boy here who has five barley loaves and

  487. two fish.

  488. But what are they for so many? Jesus said, have

  489. the people sit down now. There was much grass in

  490. the place, So the men sat down, about five thousand

  491. in number. Jesus then took the loaves, and when he

  492. had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated,

  493. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. And

  494. when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples.

  495. Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.

  496. So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with

  497. fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who

  498. had eaten. When the people saw the sign that he

  499. had done, they said.

  500. This is indeed the prophet who is to come into

  501. the world.

  502. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take

  503. him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again

  504. to the mountain by himself. When evening came, his disciples

  505. went down to the sea, got into a boat and

  506. started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark,

  507. and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea

  508. became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they

  509. had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus

  510. walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and

  511. they were frightened.

  512. But he said to them it is I, do not

  513. be afraid.

  514. Then they were glad to take him into the boat,

  515. and immediately the boat was at the land to which

  516. they were going. On the next day, the crowd that

  517. remained on the other side of the sea saw that

  518. there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus

  519. had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that

  520. his disciples had gone away alone. Other boats from Tiberius

  521. came near the place where they had eaten the bread

  522. after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd

  523. saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they

  524. themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

  525. When they found him on the other side of the sea,

  526. they said to.

  527. Him, Rabbi, when did you come here?

  528. Jesus answered them.

  529. Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me,

  530. not because you saw signs. But because you ate your

  531. fill of the loaves, do not labor for the food

  532. that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life,

  533. which the Son of Man will give to you. For

  534. on him God, the Father, has set his seal.

  535. Then they said to him.

  536. What must we do to be doing the works of God.

  537. Jesus answered them.

  538. This is the work of God that you believe in

  539. him whom he has sent.

  540. So they said to him, then, what side do you

  541. do that we may see and believe you? What work

  542. do you perform?

  543. Our fathers ate the manderness. As it is written. He

  544. gave them bread from heaven to eat.

  545. Jesus then said to them.

  546. Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses

  547. who gave you the bread from heaven, But my Father

  548. gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread

  549. of God is he who comes down from heaven and

  550. gives life to the world.

  551. They said to him, Sir, give us this bread always.

  552. Jesus said to them.

  553. I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me

  554. shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

  555. But I said to you that you have seen me

  556. and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives

  557. me will come to me. And whoever comes to me,

  558. I will never cast out, for I have come down

  559. from heaven not to do my own will, but the

  560. will of him who sent me. And this is the

  561. will of him who sent me, that I should lose

  562. nothing of all that he has given me, but raise

  563. it up on the last day. For this is the

  564. will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the

  565. Son and believes in him should have eternal life. And

  566. I will raise him up on the last day.

  567. So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said.

  568. I am the bread that came down from heaven.

  569. They said, is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,

  570. whose father and mother we know?

  571. How does he now say I have come down from heaven?

  572. Jesus answered them, do not grumble among yourselves. No one

  573. can come to me unless the Father who sent me

  574. draws him, and I will raise him up on the

  575. last day. It is written in the prophets, and they

  576. will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard

  577. and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that

  578. anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God.

  579. He has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to

  580. thee whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread

  581. of life. Your fathers ate the man in the wilderness,

  582. and they died. This is the bread that comes down

  583. from heaven, so that one may eat of it and

  584. not die. I am the living bread that came down

  585. from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will

  586. live forever. And the bread that I will give for

  587. the life of the world is my flesh.

  588. The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying.

  589. How can this man give us his flesh to eat.

  590. So Jesus said to them, truly, truly, I say to you,

  591. unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man

  592. and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

  593. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has

  594. eternal life, and I will raise him up on the

  595. last day. For my flesh is true food and my

  596. blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and

  597. drinks eye blood abides in me and I in him,

  598. as the Living Father sent me. And I live because

  599. of the Father. So whoever feeds on me, he also

  600. will live because of me. This is the bread that

  601. came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers

  602. ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.

  603. Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught

  604. at Copernium. When many of his disciples heard it, they said.

  605. This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it?

  606. But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling

  607. about this, said to them.

  608. Do you take offense at this? Then? What if you

  609. were to see the son of Man ascending to where

  610. he was before. It is the spirit who gives life.

  611. The flesh is no help at all. The words that

  612. I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But

  613. there are some of you who do not believe.

  614. For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who

  615. did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.

  616. And he said, this is why I told you that

  617. no one can come to me unless it is granted

  618. him by the Father.

  619. After this, many of his disciples turned back and no

  620. longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve.

  621. Do you want to go away as well?

  622. Simon Peter answered him.

  623. Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words

  624. of eternal life, and we have believed and have come

  625. to know that you are the Holy One of God.

  626. Jesus answered them.

  627. Did I not choose you the twelve, and yet one

  628. of you is a devil?

  629. He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon, a scariot,

  630. for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray

  631. him John seven. After this, Jesus went about in Galilee.

  632. He would not go about in Judea because the Jews

  633. were seeking to kill him. Now the Jews feast of

  634. Booze was at hand, so his brother said to him.

  635. Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also

  636. may see the works.

  637. You are doing. For no one works in secret if

  638. he seeks to be known openly.

  639. If you do these things, show yourself to the.

  640. World, for not even his brothers believed in him. Jesus

  641. said to them.

  642. My time has not yet come, but your time is

  643. always here. The world cannot hate you, but it hates

  644. me because I testify about it that its works are evil.

  645. You go up to the feast. I am not going

  646. up to this feast, for my time has not yet

  647. fully come.

  648. After saying this, he remained in Galilee, But after his

  649. brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also

  650. went up, not publicly but in private. The Jews were

  651. looking for him at the feast and saying.

  652. Where is he?

  653. And there was much muttering about him among the people.

  654. While some said.

  655. He is a good man, others said, no, he is

  656. leading the people astray.

  657. Yet, for fear of the Jews, no one spoke openly

  658. of him. About the middle of the feast, Jesus went

  659. up into the temple and began teaching. The Jews therefore marveled, saying.

  660. How is it that this man has learning when he

  661. has never studied?

  662. So Jesus answered them.

  663. My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

  664. If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will

  665. know whether the teaching is from God or whether I

  666. am speaking on my own authority. The one who speaks

  667. on his own authority seeks his own glory. But the

  668. one who seeks the glory of Him who sent him

  669. is true, and in him there is no falsehood. Has

  670. not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you

  671. keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?

  672. The crowd answered, you have a dmail of it who

  673. is seeking to kill you.

  674. Jesus answered them, I.

  675. Did one work, and you all marvel at it. Moses

  676. gave you circumcision, not that it is from Moses, but

  677. from the fathers. And you circumcise a man on the sabbath.

  678. If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that

  679. the law of Moses may not be broken, are you

  680. angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a

  681. man's whole body. Well, do not judge by appearances, but

  682. judge with right judgment.

  683. Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, is not.

  684. This the man whom they seek to kill?

  685. And here he is speaking openly and they say nothing

  686. to him. Can it be that the authorities really know

  687. that this is the Christ?

  688. But we know where this man comes from.

  689. And when the Christ appears, no one will know where

  690. he comes from.

  691. So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple.

  692. You know me, and you know where I come from.

  693. But I have not come of my own accord. He

  694. who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

  695. I know him, for I come from him and he

  696. sent me.

  697. So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one

  698. laid a hand on him, because his hour had not

  699. yet come yet many of the people believed in him.

  700. They said, when the Christ appears, will he do more

  701. signs than this.

  702. Man is done. The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these

  703. things about him, and the chief priest and pharisees sent

  704. officers to arrest him. Jesus then said.

  705. I will be with you a little longer, and then

  706. I am going to him who sent me. Will seek me,

  707. and you will not find me. Where I am, you

  708. cannot come.

  709. The Jews said to one another.

  710. Where does this man intend to go that we will

  711. not find him?

  712. Does he intend to go to the dispersion among the

  713. Greeks and teach the Greeks?

  714. What does he mean by saying you will seek me

  715. and you will not find me, And where I am

  716. you cannot come.

  717. On the last day of the feast, the Great Day,

  718. Jesus stood up and cried out.

  719. If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

  720. Whoever believes in me, as a scripture has said, out

  721. of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

  722. Now this he said about the spirit whom those who

  723. believed in him were to receive, For as yet the

  724. spirit had not been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  725. When they heard these words, some of the people said, this.

  726. Really is the prophet.

  727. Others said this is the Christ, but some said.

  728. Is the Christ to come from Gallilee?

  729. Is not?

  730. The scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring

  731. of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was.

  732. So there was a division among the people over him.

  733. Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one

  734. laid hands on him. The officers then came to the

  735. chief priests and pharisees, who said to them.

  736. Why did you not bring him?

  737. The officers answered.

  738. No one ever spoke like this man.

  739. The pharisees answered them, have you also been deceived?

  740. Have any of the authorities of the pharisees believed in him?

  741. But this crowd that does not.

  742. Know the law is accursed.

  743. Nicodemus, who had gone to him before and who was

  744. one of them, said to.

  745. Them, does our law judge a man without first giving

  746. him a hearing and learning what he does?

  747. They replied, were you from Galilee to search and see

  748. that no prophet arises from Galilee?

  749. They went each to his own house. John eight, But

  750. Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning,

  751. he came again to the temple. All the people came

  752. to him, and he sat down and taught them. The

  753. scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been

  754. caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst They

  755. said to.

  756. Him, teacher, this woman has been caught in the act

  757. of adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to

  758. stone such women. So what do you say.

  759. This, they said, to test him, that they might have

  760. some charge to against him. Jesus bent down and wrote

  761. with his finger on the ground, And as they continued

  762. to ask him, he stood up and said to them.

  763. Let him who is without sinnemon, you be the first

  764. to throw a stone at her.

  765. And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.

  766. But when they heard it, they went away one by one,

  767. beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone

  768. with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said.

  769. To her, woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?

  770. She said, no one, Lord, And Jesus.

  771. Said, neither do I condemn you. Go and from now

  772. on sin no more.

  773. Again. Jesus spoke to them, saying.

  774. I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me

  775. will not walk in darkness, but will have the light

  776. of life. Life.

  777. So the Pharisee said to him.

  778. You were bearing witness about yourself. Your testimonial is not true.

  779. Jesus answered her, Even if I do bear witness about myself,

  780. my testimony is true. For I know where I came

  781. from and where I am going. But you do not

  782. know where I come from or where I am going.

  783. You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. Yet,

  784. even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for

  785. it is not I alone who judge, but I am

  786. the father who sent me. In your law, it is

  787. written that the testimony of two people is true. I

  788. am the one who bears witness about myself, and the

  789. father who sent me bears witness about me.

  790. They said to him, therefore, where is your father? Jesus answered, sir.

  791. You know neither me nor my father. If you knew me,

  792. you would know my father. Also.

  793. These were he spoke in the treasury, as he taught

  794. in the temple, But no one arrested him because his

  795. hour had not yet come. So He said to them again.

  796. I am going away, and you will seek me, and

  797. you will die in your sin. Where I am going,

  798. you cannot come.

  799. So the Jews said.

  800. Will he kill himself? Since he says, where I am going,

  801. you cannot come.

  802. He said to them, you are from below.

  803. I am from above. You are of this world. I

  804. am not of this world. I told you that you

  805. would die in your sins, for unless you believe that

  806. I am he, you will die in your sins.

  807. So they said to him, who are you. Jesus said

  808. to them.

  809. Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.

  810. I have much to say about you, and much to judge.

  811. But he who sent me is true, and I declare

  812. to the world what I have heard from him.

  813. They did not understand that he had been speaking to

  814. them about the Father. So Jesus said to them.

  815. When you have lifted up the son of Man, then

  816. you will know that I am he, and that I

  817. do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as

  818. the Father taught me. And he who sent me is

  819. with me. He has not left me alone, for I

  820. always do the things that are pleasing to him.

  821. As he was saying these things, many believed in him. So,

  822. Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, if.

  823. You abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,

  824. and you will know the truth, and the truth will

  825. set you free.

  826. They answered him.

  827. We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved

  828. to anyone. How is it that you say you will

  829. become free? Jesus answered them.

  830. Truly, Truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin

  831. is a slave.

  832. To sin.

  833. Does not remain in the house forever. The son remains forever.

  834. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free. Indeed,

  835. I know that you are offspring of Abraham. Yet you

  836. seek to kill me because my word finds no place

  837. in you. I speak of what I have seen with

  838. my father, and you do what you have heard from

  839. your father.

  840. They answered him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them.

  841. If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the

  842. works Abraham did. But now you seek to kill me,

  843. a man who has told you the truth that I

  844. heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You

  845. were doing the works your father did.

  846. They said to him, we were not born of sexual immorality.

  847. We have one father, even God.

  848. Jesus said to them, if God were your father, you

  849. would love me, for I came from God and I

  850. am here.

  851. I came not of my own accord, but He sent me.

  852. Why do you not understand what I say? It is

  853. because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are

  854. of your father, the devil, and your will is to

  855. do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the

  856. beginning and has nothing to do with the truth, because

  857. there is no truth in him. When he lies, he

  858. speaks out of his own character, for he is a

  859. liar and the father of lies. But because I tell

  860. the truth, you do not believe me, which one of

  861. you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth,

  862. why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God?

  863. Here's the words of God. The reason why you do

  864. not hear them is that you are not of God.

  865. The Jews answered him, Are.

  866. We not right in saying that you are a Samaritan

  867. and have a demon?

  868. Jesus answered, I do not have an demon. But I

  869. honor my father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do

  870. not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it,

  871. and he is the judge truly, truly, I say to me,

  872. if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.

  873. That you said to him. Now we know that you

  874. have a demon. Abraham died, as did the Prophets. Yet

  875. you say, if anyone keeps my word, he will never

  876. taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who

  877. died and the prophets died? Who do you make yourself

  878. out to be?

  879. Jesus answered, If.

  880. I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my

  881. father who glorifies me, of whom you say he is

  882. our god. But you have not known him. I know him.

  883. If I were to say that I do not know him,

  884. I would be a liar like you. But I do

  885. know him, and I keep his word. Your father Abraham

  886. rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it

  887. and was glad.

  888. So the Jews said to him, you're not yet fifty

  889. years old, and have you seen Abraham. Jesus said to them.

  890. Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was I am.

  891. So they picked up stones to throw at him, but

  892. Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. John nine.

  893. As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth,

  894. and his disciples asked him.

  895. Rabbi, who sinned this manner his parents that he was

  896. born blind.

  897. Jesus answered, it was.

  898. Not that this man sinned his parents, but that the

  899. works of God might be displayed in him. We must

  900. work the works of him who sent me. While it

  901. is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

  902. As long as I am in the world, I am

  903. the light of the world.

  904. Having said these things, he spat on the ground and

  905. made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's

  906. eyes with the mud, and said to him.

  907. Go wash in the pool of saloon.

  908. Which means sent. So he went and washed, and came back.

  909. Seeing the neighbors and those who had seen him before

  910. as a beggar were saying, is this.

  911. Not the man who used to sit and beg?

  912. Some said it is he, Others said no, but he

  913. is like him. He kept saying, I am the man.

  914. So they said to him.

  915. Then, how were your eyes opened?

  916. He answered, the man called Jesus made mud and anointed

  917. my eyes and said to me, go to Silom and wash.

  918. So I went and washed and received my sight.

  919. They said to him, where is he? He said, I

  920. do not know. They brought to the Pharisees the man

  921. who had formerly been blind. Now it was a Sabbath

  922. day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

  923. So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received

  924. his sight, and he said to them.

  925. You put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and

  926. I see.

  927. Some of the pharisees said.

  928. This man is not from God, for he does not

  929. keep the Sabbath.

  930. But others said, how can a man who is a

  931. sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

  932. So they said again to the blind man, what.

  933. Do you say about him? Since he has opened your eyes?

  934. He said, he is a prophet. The Jews did not

  935. believe that he had been blind and had received a sight,

  936. until they called the parents the man who had received

  937. a sight and asked them.

  938. Is this your son, who you say was born blind?

  939. How then does he now see?

  940. His parents answered, we know that this is our son

  941. and that he was born blind, But.

  942. How he now sees we do not know, nor do

  943. we know who opened his eyes.

  944. Ask him he is of age, he will speak for himself.

  945. His parents said these things because they feared the Jews,

  946. for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should

  947. confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put

  948. out of the synagogue. Therefore, his parents said, he is

  949. of age, ask him so for the second time. They

  950. called the man who had been blind and said.

  951. To him, give glory to God. We know that this

  952. man is a sinner.

  953. He answered, whether he's a sinner, I do not know

  954. one thing. I do know that though I was blind,

  955. now I see.

  956. They said to him, what did he do to you?

  957. How did he open your eyes?

  958. He answered them.

  959. I have told you already and you would not listen.

  960. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you

  961. also want to become his disciples?

  962. And they reviled him, saying, you are.

  963. His disciples, But we are disciples of Moses. We know

  964. that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man,

  965. we did not know where he comes from.

  966. The man answered, why, this is.

  967. An amazing thing.

  968. You do not know where he comes from, and yet

  969. he opened my eyes. We know that God does not

  970. listen to sinners. But if anyone is a worshiper of

  971. God and does his will, God listens to him. Never

  972. since the world began has it been hear that anyone

  973. opened the eyes of a man born blind. If this

  974. man were not from God, he could do nothing.

  975. They answered him, you were.

  976. Born, and utter said, and would you teach us?

  977. And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had

  978. cast him out, and having found him, he said.

  979. Do you believe in the son of Man?

  980. He answered, and who is he?

  981. Sir?

  982. That I may believe in him?

  983. Jesus said to him, you have seen him, and it

  984. is he who is speaking to you. He said, Lord,

  985. I believe, and he worshiped him. Jesus said, for judgment,

  986. I came into this world that those who do not

  987. see may see, and those who see may become blind.

  988. Some of the pharisees near him heard these things and

  989. said to him, are we also blind? Jesus said to them, if.

  990. You were blind, you would have no guilt. But now

  991. that you say we see, your guilt remains.

  992. John ten.

  993. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not

  994. enter the sheep fold by the door, but climbs in

  995. by another way, that man is a thief and a robber.

  996. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd

  997. of the sheep. To him, the gatekeeper opens the sheep

  998. hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name,

  999. and leads them out. When he has brought out all

  1000. his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him,

  1001. for they know his voice a stranger. They will not follow,

  1002. but they will flee from him, for they do not

  1003. know the voice of strangers.

  1004. This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they

  1005. did not understand what he was saying to them. So

  1006. Jesus again said to them.

  1007. Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door

  1008. of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves

  1009. and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

  1010. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he

  1011. will be saved and will go in and out and

  1012. find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill

  1013. and destroy. I came that they may have life, and

  1014. have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good

  1015. shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who

  1016. is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does

  1017. not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves

  1018. the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and

  1019. scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand

  1020. and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd.

  1021. I know my own and my own know me, just

  1022. as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.

  1023. And I lay down my life for the sheep. And

  1024. I have other sheep that are not of this fold.

  1025. I must bring them also, and they will listen to

  1026. my voice. So there will be one flow, one shepherd.

  1027. For this reason, the Father loves me, because I laid

  1028. down my life that I may take it up again.

  1029. No one takes it from me, but I lay it

  1030. down of my own accord. I have authority to lay

  1031. it down, and I have authority to take it up again.

  1032. This charge I have received from my father.

  1033. There was again a division among the Jews because of

  1034. these words. Many of them said.

  1035. He has a demon and is insane.

  1036. Why listen to him.

  1037. Others said, these are not the words of one who

  1038. is oppressed by a demon.

  1039. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind.

  1040. At that time, the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem.

  1041. It was winter and Jesus was walking in the temple

  1042. in the colonnade of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around

  1043. him and said to him.

  1044. How long will you keep us in suspense?

  1045. If you are the Christ?

  1046. Tell us plainly, Jesus answered them, I told you, and

  1047. you do not believe the works that I do in

  1048. my father's name.

  1049. Bear witness about me. But you do not believe because

  1050. you are not part of my flock. My sheep hear

  1051. my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

  1052. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish,

  1053. and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

  1054. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater

  1055. than all, and no one is able to snatch them

  1056. out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.

  1057. The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus

  1058. answered them.

  1059. I have shown you many good works from the Father.

  1060. For which of them are you going to stone me?

  1061. The Jews answered him, it.

  1062. Is not for a good work that we are going

  1063. to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man,

  1064. make yourself god.

  1065. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law?

  1066. I said you are gods? If he called them gods

  1067. to whom the word of God came and scripture cannot

  1068. be broken, do you say of him whom the Father

  1069. consecrated and sent into the world. You are blasphemy because

  1070. I said I am the Son of God. If I

  1071. am not doing the works of my Father, then do

  1072. not believe me. But if I do them, even though

  1073. you do not believe me, believe the works that you

  1074. may know and understand that the Father is in me,

  1075. and I am in the Father.

  1076. Again, they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from

  1077. their hands. He went away again across the Jordan to

  1078. the place where John had been baptizing at first, And

  1079. there he remained, and many came to him, and they

  1080. said John did know, sighing.

  1081. But everything that John said about this man was true.

  1082. And many believed in him. There John eleven of them.

  1083. Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the

  1084. village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary

  1085. who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet

  1086. with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the

  1087. sister sent to him, saying.

  1088. Lord, he whom you love, is ill.

  1089. But when Jesus heard it, he said.

  1090. This illness does not lead to death. It is for

  1091. the glory of God, so that the Son of God

  1092. may be glorified through it.

  1093. Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, so

  1094. when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two

  1095. days longer in the place where he was. Then after

  1096. this he said to the disciples.

  1097. Let us go to Judea again.

  1098. The disciples said to.

  1099. Him, Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking just stone you,

  1100. and are you going there again?

  1101. Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in the day.

  1102. If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble,

  1103. because he sees the light of this world. But if

  1104. anyone walks in the night, he stumbles because the light

  1105. is not in him.

  1106. After saying these things, he said to them.

  1107. Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I go to

  1108. awaken him. The disciples said to him.

  1109. Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.

  1110. Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought

  1111. that he meant taking rest and sleep. Then Jesus told them.

  1112. Plainly, Lazarus has died, and for your sake, I am

  1113. glad that I was not there, so that you may believe.

  1114. But let us go to him.

  1115. So Thomas, called the twin, said to his fellow disciples.

  1116. Let us also go that we may die with him.

  1117. Now. When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already

  1118. been in the tomb four days. Bethany was near Jerusalem,

  1119. about two miles off, and many of the Jews had

  1120. come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.

  1121. So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went

  1122. and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.

  1123. Martha said to.

  1124. Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would

  1125. not have died. But even now I know that whatever

  1126. you ask from God, God.

  1127. Not give you.

  1128. Jesus said to her, your brother will rise again. Martha

  1129. said to him.

  1130. I know that he'll rise again in the resurrection on

  1131. the last day.

  1132. Jesus said to her, I am the Resurrection in the life.

  1133. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.

  1134. And everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die.

  1135. Do you believe this?

  1136. She said to him, yes, Lord, I believe that you

  1137. are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming

  1138. into the world.

  1139. When she had said this, she went and called her

  1140. sister Mary, saying, in private, the.

  1141. Teacher is here and is calling for.

  1142. You, And when she heard it, she rose quickly and

  1143. went to him. Now Jesus had not yet come into

  1144. the village, but was still in the place where Martha

  1145. had met him. When the Jews who were with her

  1146. in the house consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and

  1147. go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going

  1148. to the tomb to weep there. Now, when Mary came

  1149. to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at

  1150. his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here,

  1151. my brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping,

  1152. and the Jews who had come with her also weeping,

  1153. he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled, and.

  1154. He said, where have you laid him?

  1155. They said to him, Lord, come and see Jesus wept.

  1156. So the Jews said.

  1157. See how he loved him.

  1158. But some of them said.

  1159. Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind

  1160. man also have kept this man from dying.

  1161. Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It

  1162. was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said,

  1163. take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man,

  1164. said to.

  1165. Him, Lord, by this time there will be an odor.

  1166. For he has been dead for days.

  1167. Jesus said to her, did I not tell you that

  1168. if you believed, you would see the glory of God.

  1169. So they took away the stone, and Jesus lifted up

  1170. his eyes and said, Father.

  1171. I thank you that you have heard me. I knew

  1172. that you always hear me, but I said this on

  1173. account of the people standing around, that they may believe

  1174. that you sent me.

  1175. When he had said these things, he cried out with

  1176. a loud.

  1177. Voice, Lazarus come out.

  1178. The man who had died came out, his hands and

  1179. feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with

  1180. a cloth. Jesus said to them, unbind him and let

  1181. him go. Many of the Jews therefore, who had come

  1182. with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him.

  1183. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told

  1184. them what Jesus had done. So the chief priest and

  1185. the Pharisees gathered the council and said, what are.

  1186. We to do? For this man performs many signs.

  1187. If we let him go on like this, everyone will

  1188. believe in him, and the Romans will come and take

  1189. away both our places.

  1190. And our nation. But one of them, Caiaphas, who was

  1191. high priest that year, said to them, you.

  1192. Know nothing at all, nor do you understand that it

  1193. is better for you that one man should die for

  1194. the people, not that the whole nation should perish.

  1195. He did not say this of his own accord, but

  1196. being high priests that year, he prophesied that Jesus would

  1197. die for the nation, and not for the nation only,

  1198. but also to gather into one the children of God

  1199. who are scattered abroad. So from that day on they

  1200. made plans to put him to death. Jesus therefore no

  1201. longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there

  1202. to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim,

  1203. and there with the disciples. Now the passover of the

  1204. Jews was at hand, and many went up from the

  1205. country to Jerusalem before the passover to purify themselves. They

  1206. were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as

  1207. they stood in the temple, what do you think that

  1208. he will not come to the feast at all? Now

  1209. the chief priest and the Pharisees had given orders that

  1210. if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know,

  1211. so that they might arrest him John twelve, six days

  1212. before the passover. Jesus therefore came to bethany where Lazarus was,

  1213. whom Jesus had raised from the dead. So they gave

  1214. a dinner for him. There. Martha served, and Lazarus was

  1215. one of those reclining with him at tab Mary therefore

  1216. took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard,

  1217. and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet

  1218. with her hair. The house was filled with the fragments

  1219. of the perfume. But Judas is Scariot, one of his disciples,

  1220. he who was about to betray him, said.

  1221. Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii

  1222. and given to the poor.

  1223. He said this not because he cared about the poor,

  1224. but because he was a thief, and having charge of

  1225. the money bag, he used to help himself to what

  1226. was put into it.

  1227. Jesus said, leave her alone, so that she may keep

  1228. it for the day of my burial. For the poor

  1229. you always have with you, but you do not always

  1230. have me.

  1231. When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus

  1232. was there, they came not only on account of him,

  1233. but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from

  1234. the dead. So the chief priest made plans to put

  1235. Lazarus to death as well, because on account of him,

  1236. many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

  1237. The next day, the large crowd that had come to

  1238. the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So

  1239. they took branches of palm trees and went out to

  1240. meet him, crying out.

  1241. Hosannah, hou who lesson is here? Who comes in the

  1242. name of the law. Even the chief of Israel.

  1243. And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it,

  1244. just as it is written.

  1245. Fear not, Daughter of Zion, Behold your king is coming

  1246. sitting on a donkey's colt.

  1247. His disciples did not understand these things at first, but

  1248. when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things

  1249. had been written about him and had been done to him.

  1250. The crowd that had been with him when he called

  1251. Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the

  1252. dead continued to bear witness. The reason why the crowd

  1253. went to meet him was that they heard he had

  1254. done this sign. So the Pharisees said to one another.

  1255. You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world

  1256. has gone after him.

  1257. Now among those who went up to worship at the

  1258. feast were some Greeks. So these came to Philip, who

  1259. is from the Sayad and Galilee, and asked him, Sir Vivish,

  1260. to say Jesus. Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and

  1261. Philip went and told Jesus. And Jesus answered them.

  1262. The hour is come for the son of Man to

  1263. be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you. Unless a

  1264. grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it

  1265. remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

  1266. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his

  1267. life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

  1268. If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where

  1269. I am there will my servant be. Also, if anyone

  1270. serves me, the Father will honor him. Now is my

  1271. soul troubled? And what shall I say? Father? Save me

  1272. from this hour? But for this purpose I have come

  1273. to this hour, Father, glorify your name.

  1274. Then a voice came from heaven.

  1275. I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.

  1276. The crowd that stood there and heard it said that

  1277. it had thundered. Others said, an.

  1278. Angel has spoken to him. Jesus answered, this voice has

  1279. come for your sake, not mine. Now is the judgment

  1280. of this world. Now will the ruler of this world

  1281. be cast out? And I, when I am lifted up

  1282. from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

  1283. He said this to show by what kind of death

  1284. he was going to die. So the crowd answered him.

  1285. We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever.

  1286. How can you say that the son of man must

  1287. be lifted up?

  1288. Who is this son of man? So Jesus said to them.

  1289. The light is among you for a little while. Longer

  1290. walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you.

  1291. The one who walks in the darkness does not know

  1292. where he is going. While you have the light. Believe

  1293. in the light, that you may become sons of light.

  1294. When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid

  1295. himself from them. Though he had done so many signs

  1296. before them, they still did not believe in him. So

  1297. that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled.

  1298. Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and

  1299. to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

  1300. Therefore they could not believe. For again, Isaiah said, he has.

  1301. Blinded their eyes and heartened their heart. Lest they see

  1302. with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn,

  1303. and I would heal them.

  1304. Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and

  1305. spoke of him. Nevertheless, many, even of the authorities, believed

  1306. in him, but for fear of the Pharisees, they did

  1307. not confess it, so that they would not be put

  1308. out of the synagogue. For they loved the glory that

  1309. comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

  1310. And Jesus cried out and said.

  1311. That whoever believes in me believes not in me, but

  1312. in him who sent me, And whoever sees me sees

  1313. him who sent me. I have come into the world

  1314. as light, so that whoever believes in me may not

  1315. remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does

  1316. not keep them, I do not judge him, for I

  1317. did not come to judge the world, but to save

  1318. the world. The one who rejects me and does not

  1319. receive my words has a judge. The word that I

  1320. have spoken will judge him on the last day. For

  1321. I have not spoken on my own authority. Father who

  1322. sent me, has himself given me a commandment what to

  1323. say and what to speak. And I know that his

  1324. commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say,

  1325. is the Father has told me.

  1326. John thirteen. Now before the feast of the Passover, when

  1327. Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out

  1328. of this world to the Father. Having loved his own

  1329. who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

  1330. During supper, when the devil had already put it into

  1331. the heart of Judas Ascariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus,

  1332. knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,

  1333. and that he had come from God and was going

  1334. back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his

  1335. head garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

  1336. Then he poured water into a basin and began to

  1337. wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with a

  1338. towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter,

  1339. who said to.

  1340. Him, Lord, do you wash my feet?

  1341. Jesus answered him, what.

  1342. I am doing you do not understand now, but afterwards

  1343. you will understand.

  1344. Peter said to.

  1345. Him, you shall never wash my feet.

  1346. Jesus answered him.

  1347. If I do not wash you, you have no share

  1348. with me.

  1349. Simon.

  1350. Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but

  1351. also my hands and my head.

  1352. Jesus said to him, the one who has bathed does

  1353. not need to wash except for his feet, but is

  1354. completely clean. And you are clean, but not to every

  1355. one of you.

  1356. For he knew who was to betray him. That was

  1357. why he said, not all of you are clean. When

  1358. he had washed their feet and put on his outer

  1359. garments and resumed his place, he said to them, do.

  1360. You understand what I have done to you? You call

  1361. me teacher and lord, and you are right, for so

  1362. I am. If I, then your lord and teacher have

  1363. washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet,

  1364. For I have given you an example that you also

  1365. should do, just as I have done to you. Truly, truly,

  1366. I say to you, a servant is not greater than

  1367. his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one

  1368. who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are

  1369. you if you do them. I am not speaking of

  1370. all of you. I know whom I have chosen, But

  1371. the scripture will be fulfilled. He who ate my bread

  1372. has lifted his heel against me. I am telling you

  1373. this now before it takes place, that when it does

  1374. take place, you may believe that I am he truly. Truly,

  1375. I say to you, whoever receives the one I send

  1376. receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who

  1377. sent me.

  1378. After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit

  1379. and testified.

  1380. Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will

  1381. betray me.

  1382. The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

  1383. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at

  1384. table close to Jesus. So Simon Peter motioned to him

  1385. to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So that disciple,

  1386. leaning back against Jesus, said.

  1387. To him, Lord, who is it.

  1388. Jesus answered, it is he to.

  1389. Whom I will give this morsel of bread when I

  1390. have dipped it.

  1391. So, when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it

  1392. to Judas, the son of Simon, a scariot. Then after

  1393. he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus

  1394. said to him.

  1395. What you are going to do, do quickly.

  1396. Now, No one at the table knew why he said

  1397. this to him. Some thought that because Judas had the

  1398. money bag, Jesus was telling him buy what we need

  1399. for the feast, or that he should give something to

  1400. the poor. So after receiving a morsel of bread, he

  1401. immediately went out, and it was night when he had

  1402. gone out.

  1403. Jesus said, now is the son of Man glorified, and

  1404. God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him,

  1405. God will also glorify him in himself and glorify him

  1406. at once. Little children, yet a little while I am

  1407. with you, you will seek me. And just as I

  1408. said to the Jews, so now I also say to

  1409. you where I am going, you cannot come. A new

  1410. commandment I give to you that you love one another,

  1411. just as I have loved you, All also are to

  1412. love one another. By this, all people will know that

  1413. you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

  1414. Simon Peter said to.

  1415. Him, Lord, where are you going?

  1416. Jesus answered him.

  1417. Where I am going. You cannot follow me. Now, but

  1418. you will follow afterward.

  1419. Peter said to.

  1420. Him, Lord, why can I not follow you?

  1421. Now?

  1422. I will lay down my life for.

  1423. You, Jesus answered, will you lay down.

  1424. Your life for me? Truly? Truly, I say to you,

  1425. the rooster will not crow till you have denied me

  1426. three times.

  1427. John fourteen.

  1428. Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, Believe

  1429. also in me. In my father's house are many rooms.

  1430. If it were not so what I have told you,

  1431. that I go to prepare a place for you. And

  1432. if I go and prepare a place for you, I

  1433. will come again and will take you to myself. That

  1434. where I am you may be also, And you know

  1435. the way to where I am going.

  1436. Thomas said to him.

  1437. Lord, we do not know where you are going.

  1438. How can we know the way?

  1439. Jesus said to him.

  1440. I am the way and the truth and the life.

  1441. No one comes to the Father except through me. If

  1442. you had known me, you would have known my father.

  1443. Also.

  1444. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.

  1445. Philip said to him.

  1446. Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.

  1447. Jesus said to him, have I been with you so

  1448. long and you still do not know me, Philip, whoever

  1449. has seen me has seen the Father.

  1450. How can you say, show us the Father. Do you

  1451. not believe that I am in the Father and the

  1452. Father is in me. The words that I say to you,

  1453. I do not speak on my own authority, But the Father,

  1454. who dwells in me, does his works. Believe me that

  1455. I am in the Father and the Father is in me,

  1456. or else believe on account of the works themselves. Truly, Truly,

  1457. I say to you, whoever believes in me will also

  1458. do the works that I do, And greater works than

  1459. these will he do. Because I am going to the Father.

  1460. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do

  1461. that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If

  1462. you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

  1463. If you love me, you will keep my commandments, and

  1464. I will ask the Father, and he will give you

  1465. another helper to be with you forever. Even the Spirit

  1466. of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither

  1467. sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he

  1468. dwells with you and will be in you. I will

  1469. not leave you as orpheles. I will come to you

  1470. yet a little while in the world will see me

  1471. no more, but you will see me. Because I live,

  1472. you also will live. In that day. You will know

  1473. that I am in my Father, and you in me,

  1474. and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them,

  1475. he it is who loves me. And he who loves

  1476. me will be loved by my father, and I will

  1477. love him and manifest myself to him.

  1478. Judas not a scariot, said to him, Lord.

  1479. How is it that you will manifest yourself to us and.

  1480. Not to the world. Jesus answered him.

  1481. If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and

  1482. my father will love him, and we will come to

  1483. him and make our home with him. Whoever does not

  1484. love me does not keep my words. And the word

  1485. that you hear is not mine, but the fathers who

  1486. sent me. These things I have spoken to you while

  1487. I am still with you. But the helper, the Holy Spirit,

  1488. whom the Father will send in my name, he will

  1489. teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all

  1490. that I have said to you. Peace. I leave with you.

  1491. My peace. I give to you, not as the world gives,

  1492. do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,

  1493. neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you,

  1494. I am going away, and I will come to you.

  1495. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I

  1496. am going to the Father. For the Father is greater

  1497. than I. And now I have told you before it

  1498. takes place, so that when it does take place, you

  1499. may believe longer. Talk much with you, For the ruler

  1500. of this world is coming. He has no claim on me.

  1501. But I do as the Father has commanded me, so

  1502. that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise.

  1503. Let us go from here, John fifteen.

  1504. I am the true vine, and my father is the

  1505. vine dresser. Every branch in me that does not bear

  1506. fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear

  1507. fruit he pruves that it may bear more fruit. Already

  1508. you are clean because of the word that I have

  1509. spoken to you. Abide in me and I in you.

  1510. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it

  1511. abides in the vine, neither can you LUs you abide

  1512. in me. I am the vine. You are the branches.

  1513. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it

  1514. is that bears much fruit. For apart from me, you

  1515. can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me,

  1516. he is thrown away like a branch and withers, and

  1517. the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

  1518. If you abide in me and my words abide in you,

  1519. ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

  1520. By this, my Father is glorified that you bear much

  1521. fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the

  1522. Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide

  1523. in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will

  1524. abide in my love, just as I have kept my

  1525. father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I

  1526. have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,

  1527. and that your joy may be full. This is my

  1528. commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.

  1529. Greater love has no one than this, That someone laid

  1530. down his life for his friends. You are my friends

  1531. if you do what I command you. No longer do

  1532. I call you servants, for the servant does not know

  1533. what his master is doing. But I have called you friends.

  1534. For all that I have heard from my father, I

  1535. have made known to you. You did not choose me,

  1536. but I chose you and appointed you that you should

  1537. go and bear fruit, and that your fruits should abide,

  1538. so that whenever you ask the Father in my name,

  1539. he may give it to you. These things I command

  1540. you so that you will love one another. If the

  1541. world hates you, know that it has hated me before

  1542. it hated you. If you were of the world, the

  1543. world would love you as its own. But because you

  1544. are not of the world, but I chose you out

  1545. of the world. Therefore the world hates you. Remember the

  1546. word that I said to you. A servant is not

  1547. greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will

  1548. also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will

  1549. also keep yours. But all these things they will do

  1550. to you on account of my name, because they do

  1551. not know him who sent me. If I had not

  1552. come and spoken to them, they would not have been

  1553. guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for

  1554. their sin. Whoever hates me hates my father. Also, if

  1555. I had not done among them the works that no

  1556. one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.

  1557. But now they have seen and hated both me and

  1558. my father. But the word that is written in their

  1559. law must be fulfilled. They hated me without a cause.

  1560. But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to

  1561. you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds

  1562. from the Father. He will bear witness about me, and

  1563. you also will bear witnesses, because you have been with

  1564. me from the beginning.

  1565. John sixteen.

  1566. I have said all these things to you to keep

  1567. you from falling away. They will put you out of

  1568. the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills

  1569. you will think he is offering service to God. And

  1570. they will do these things because they have not known

  1571. the Father nor me. But I have said these things

  1572. to you that when their hour comes, you may remember

  1573. that I told them to you. I did not say

  1574. these things to you from the beginning because I was

  1575. with you. But now I am going to him who

  1576. sent me. And none of you asked me where are

  1577. you going. But because I have said these things to you,

  1578. sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth.

  1579. It is to your advantage that.

  1580. I go away.

  1581. For if I do not go away, the Helper will

  1582. not come to you. But if I go, I will

  1583. send him to you. And when he comes, he will

  1584. convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment concerning sin.

  1585. Because they do not believe in me concerning righteousness, because

  1586. I go to the Father, and you will see me

  1587. no longer. Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world

  1588. is judged. I still have many things to say to you,

  1589. but you cannot bear them. Now. When the spirit of

  1590. truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.

  1591. For he will not speak on his own authority. But

  1592. whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will declare

  1593. to you the things that are to come. He will

  1594. glorify me, for he will take what is mine and

  1595. declare it to you. All that the Father has is mind.

  1596. Therefore I said that he will take what is mine

  1597. and declare it to you. A little while, and you

  1598. will see me no longer. And again a little while,

  1599. and you will see me.

  1600. So some of his disciples said to one another.

  1601. What is this that he says to us, a little

  1602. while and you will not see me. And again a

  1603. little while, and you will see me. And because I

  1604. am going.

  1605. To the Father, So they were saying, what does he

  1606. mean by a little while, We do not know what

  1607. he is talking about. Jesus knew that they wanted to

  1608. ask him, So he said to them.

  1609. Is this what you are asking yourselves what I meant

  1610. by saying a little while and you will not see me.

  1611. And again a little while and you will see me. Truly, truly,

  1612. I say to you, you will weep and lament, but

  1613. the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your

  1614. sorrow will turn into joy. When a woman is giving birth,

  1615. she is sorrow because her hour has come. But when

  1616. she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the

  1617. anguish for joy that a human being has been born

  1618. into the world. So also you have sorrow now. But

  1619. I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice,

  1620. and no one will take your joy from you. In

  1621. that day, you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly,

  1622. I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father

  1623. and my name, he will give it to you. Until

  1624. now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and

  1625. you will receive, that your joy may be full. I

  1626. have said these things to you and figures of speech.

  1627. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak

  1628. to you in figures of speech, but will tell you

  1629. plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask

  1630. in my name. And I do not say to you

  1631. that I will ask the Father on your behalf, for

  1632. the Father himself loves you because you have loved me

  1633. and have believed that I came from God. I came

  1634. from the Father and have come into the world. And

  1635. now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.

  1636. His disciples said.

  1637. Ah, now you're speaking plainly and not using figurative speech.

  1638. Now we know that you know all things and do

  1639. not need anyone to question you.

  1640. This is why we believe that.

  1641. You came from God.

  1642. Jesus answered them, do you now believe? Behold, the hour

  1643. is coming. Indeed it has come when you will be scattered,

  1644. each to his own home and will leave me alone.

  1645. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

  1646. I have said these things to you that in me

  1647. you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.

  1648. But take heart, I have overcome the world.

  1649. John seventeen. When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted

  1650. up his eyes to heaven and said.

  1651. Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son, that the

  1652. sun may glorify you, since you have given him authority

  1653. over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom

  1654. you have given him. And this is eternal life that

  1655. they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ,

  1656. whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having

  1657. accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father,

  1658. glorify me in your own presence, with the glory that

  1659. I had with you before the world existed. I have

  1660. manifested your name to the people whom you gave me

  1661. out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave

  1662. them to me, and they have kept your word. Now

  1663. they know that everything that you have given me is

  1664. from you. For I have given them the words that

  1665. you gave me, and they have received them and have

  1666. come to know in truth that I came from you,

  1667. and they have believed that you sent me. I am

  1668. praying for them. I am not praying for the world,

  1669. but for those whom you have given me, for they

  1670. are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine.

  1671. And I am glorified in them. And I am no

  1672. longer in the world, but they are in the world,

  1673. and I am coming to you, Holy Father. Keep them

  1674. in your name which you have given me, that they

  1675. may be one, even as we are one. While I

  1676. was with them, I kept them in your name, which

  1677. you have given me. I have guarded them, and not

  1678. one of them has been lost, except the Son of Destruction,

  1679. that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am

  1680. coming to you, and these things I speak in the world,

  1681. that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I

  1682. have given them your word, and the world has hated

  1683. them because they are not of the world, just as

  1684. I am not of the world. I do not ask

  1685. that you take them out of the world, but that

  1686. you keep them from the evil one. They are not

  1687. of the world, just as I am not of the world.

  1688. Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth. As

  1689. you sent me into the world, so I have sent

  1690. them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate

  1691. myself that they also may be sanctified in truth. I

  1692. do not ask for these only, but also for those

  1693. who will believe in me through their word, that they

  1694. may all be one, just as you, Father are in me,

  1695. and I in you, that they also may be in us,

  1696. so that the world may believe that you have sent

  1697. me the glory that you have given me. I have

  1698. given to them that they may be one, even as

  1699. we are one, I in them and you in me,

  1700. that they may become perfectly one, so that the world

  1701. may know that you sent me and love them even

  1702. as you love me. Father, I desire that they, also,

  1703. whom you you have given me, may be with me

  1704. where I am to see my glory that you have

  1705. given me, because you loved me before the foundation of

  1706. the world, Oh righteous Father. Even though the world does

  1707. not know you, I know you, and these know that

  1708. you have sent me. I made known to them your name,

  1709. and I will continue to make it known that the

  1710. love with which you have loved me may be in them,

  1711. and I in them.

  1712. John eighteen. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went

  1713. out with his disciples across the Kidren Valley, where there

  1714. was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas,

  1715. who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often

  1716. met there with his disciples. So Judas, having procured a

  1717. band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priest

  1718. and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

  1719. Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came

  1720. forward and said to.

  1721. Them, whom do you seek?

  1722. They answered him.

  1723. Jesus of Nazareth.

  1724. Jesus said to them, I am he. Judas, who betrayed him,

  1725. was standing with them. When Jesus said to them, I

  1726. am he. They drew back and fell to the ground.

  1727. So we asked them again, whom do you seek, and

  1728. they said, Jesus nasare.

  1729. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he, So

  1730. if you seek me, let these men go.

  1731. This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken.

  1732. Of those whom you gave me, I have lost not one.

  1733. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck

  1734. the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

  1735. The servant's name was Malchus. So Jesus said to Peter.

  1736. Put your sword into its sheath. Shall I not drink

  1737. the cup that the father has given me.

  1738. So the band of soldiers and their captain and the

  1739. officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. First,

  1740. they led him to Annas, for he was the father

  1741. in law of Caphus, who was high priest that year.

  1742. It was Caaphus who had advised the Jews that it

  1743. would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

  1744. Simon Peter followed Jesus and so did another disciple. Since

  1745. that disciple was known to the High Priest. He entered

  1746. with Jesus into the court of the High Priest, but

  1747. Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple,

  1748. who was known to the High Priest, went out and

  1749. spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door,

  1750. and brought Peter in. The servant girl at the door

  1751. said to Peter, you also.

  1752. Are not one of this man's disciples.

  1753. Are you?

  1754. He said, I am not. Now the servants and officers

  1755. had made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and

  1756. they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them,

  1757. standing and warming himself. The High Priest then questioned Jesus

  1758. about his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him, I.

  1759. Have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught

  1760. in synagogues and in the temple where all Jews come together.

  1761. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me?

  1762. Ask those who have heard me what I said to them.

  1763. They know what I said.

  1764. When he had said these things, one of the officers

  1765. standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, is that

  1766. how you answer the High Priest. Jesus answered him.

  1767. If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong.

  1768. But if what I said is right, why do you

  1769. strike me?

  1770. And has then sent him bound to Caiaphas the High priest.

  1771. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they

  1772. said to him.

  1773. You also are not one of his disciples.

  1774. Are you? He denied it and said, I am not

  1775. one of the servants of the High priest. A relative

  1776. of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked.

  1777. Did I not see you in the garden with him?

  1778. Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowe.

  1779. Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to

  1780. the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did

  1781. not enter the governor's headquarters so that they would not

  1782. be defiled, but could eat the passover. So Pilot went

  1783. outside to them and said.

  1784. What accusation do you bring against this man?

  1785. They answered him.

  1786. If this man were not doing evil, we would not

  1787. have delivered him over to you.

  1788. Pilot said to them.

  1789. Taking him your servants, and judge him by.

  1790. Your own law.

  1791. The Jews said to him, it.

  1792. Is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.

  1793. This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken

  1794. to show by what kind of death he was going

  1795. to die. So Pilot entered his headquarters again and called

  1796. Jesus and said to.

  1797. Him, are you the king of the Jews?

  1798. Jesus answered, do you.

  1799. Say this of your own accord? Or did others say

  1800. it to you about me?

  1801. Pilot answered, Am.

  1802. I a Jew your own nation and the chief priests

  1803. have delivered you over to me?

  1804. What have you done?

  1805. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If

  1806. my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have

  1807. been fighting that I might not be delivered over to

  1808. the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.

  1809. Then Pilot said to him, so you are a king.

  1810. Jesus answered, you say.

  1811. That I am a king for this purpose I was born,

  1812. and for this purpose I have come into the world

  1813. to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of

  1814. the truth listens to my voice.

  1815. Pilot said to him, what is truth? After he had

  1816. said this, he went back outside to the Jews and

  1817. told them.

  1818. I find no guilt in him, but you have a

  1819. customed that I should release one back, for you have

  1820. the passover.

  1821. So do you want me to release to you the

  1822. king of the Jews.

  1823. They cried out again, Now Barabbas was a robber. John nineteen.

  1824. Pilot took Jesus and flogged him, and the soldiers twisted

  1825. together a crown of thorns and put it on his head,

  1826. and arrayed him in a purple robe. They came up

  1827. to him.

  1828. Saying, hell, king of the Jews.

  1829. And struck him with their hands. Pilot went out again

  1830. and said to them, see.

  1831. I have bringing him out up to you, that you

  1832. may know that I fight no guilt in him.

  1833. So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and

  1834. the purple robe. Pilot said to them.

  1835. Behold the man.

  1836. When the chief priest and the officers saw him, they

  1837. cried out, crucify Hamp.

  1838. Prsified Ham.

  1839. Pilot said to them, take him yourself.

  1840. I gotta crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.

  1841. The Jews answered him, we have a law, and.

  1842. I'm carting to that law.

  1843. He ought to die because he has made himself the

  1844. son of God.

  1845. When Pilot heard this statement, he was even more afraid.

  1846. He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus.

  1847. Where are you from.

  1848. But Jesus gave him no answer. So Pilot said to him.

  1849. You will not speak to me.

  1850. Do you not know that I have authority to release

  1851. you and authority to crucify you.

  1852. Jesus answered him, you would have.

  1853. No authority over me at all unless it had been

  1854. given you from above. Therefore, he who delivered me over

  1855. to you has the greater sin.

  1856. From then on, Pilot sought to release him, but the

  1857. Jews cried out.

  1858. If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend.

  1859. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.

  1860. So when Pilot heard these words, he brought Jesus out

  1861. and sat down on the judgment set at a place

  1862. called the stone pavement and an Aramaic Gabitha. Now it

  1863. was the day of preparation of the passover. It was

  1864. about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews.

  1865. Behold your king.

  1866. They cried out, away.

  1867. With him, Away with him, and crucify him.

  1868. Isilid said to them, show heightens your king. The chief

  1869. priest answered, we have no king but Caesar. So he

  1870. delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they

  1871. took Jesus, and he went out bearing his own cross

  1872. to the place called the place of a skull, which

  1873. an Aramaic is called Golgatha. There they crucified him, and

  1874. with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus

  1875. between them. Pilot also wrote an inscription and put it

  1876. on the cross. It read Jesus of Nazareth, the King

  1877. of the Jews. Many of the Jews read this inscription,

  1878. for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,

  1879. and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.

  1880. So the chief priest of the Jews said to Pilot, do.

  1881. Not write the king of the Jews, but rather, this

  1882. man said, I am King.

  1883. Of the Jews. Pilot answered what I have written, I

  1884. have written. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took

  1885. his garments and divided them into four parts, one part

  1886. for each soldier, also as tunic. But the tunic was seamless,

  1887. woven in one piece from top to bottom. So they

  1888. said to one another.

  1889. Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it

  1890. to see whose it shall be.

  1891. This was to fulfill the scripture which says.

  1892. They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing

  1893. they cast lots.

  1894. So the soldiers did these things. But standing by the

  1895. cross of Jesus where his mother and his mother's sister Marry,

  1896. the wife of Clopus and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw

  1897. his mother and the disciple, whom he loved, standing nearby,

  1898. he said to his mother, woman, behold your son. Then

  1899. he said to the disciple, behold your mother. And from

  1900. that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

  1901. After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said

  1902. to fulfill the scripture by first a jar full of

  1903. sour wine stood there. So they put a sponge full

  1904. of the sour wine on a hissop branch and held

  1905. it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine,

  1906. he said, eh is.

  1907. Finished.

  1908. And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

  1909. Since it was a day of preparation, and so that

  1910. the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath,

  1911. for that Sabbath was a high day. The Jews asked

  1912. Pilot that their legs might be broken, and that they

  1913. might be taken away. So the soldiers came and broke

  1914. the legs of the first and of the other who

  1915. had been crucified with him. But when they came to

  1916. Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did

  1917. not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced

  1918. his side with a spear, and at once there came

  1919. out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness.

  1920. His testimony is true, and he knows that he is

  1921. telling the truth, that you also may believe. For these

  1922. things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled.

  1923. Not one of his bones will be broken.

  1924. And again another scripture says they will look on him

  1925. whom they have pierced. After these things, Joseph of Arimathea,

  1926. who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear

  1927. of the Jews, asked Pilot that he might take away

  1928. the body of Jesus, and Pilot gave him permission, so

  1929. he came and took away his body. Nicodemus, also, who

  1930. earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a

  1931. mixture of muranallos, about seventy five pounds in weight. So

  1932. they took the body of Jesus and bounded in linen

  1933. claws with the spices, as is the burial custom. Of

  1934. the Jews. Now, in the place where he was crucified,

  1935. there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb,

  1936. in which no one had yet been laid. So, because

  1937. of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was

  1938. close at hand, they laid Jesus there. John twenty. Now,

  1939. on the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene came

  1940. to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and

  1941. saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

  1942. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the

  1943. other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, they've.

  1944. Taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do

  1945. not know where they have laid him.

  1946. So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they

  1947. were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together,

  1948. but the other disciple out ran Peter and reached the

  1949. tomb first, and stooping to look in, he saw the

  1950. linen claus lying there, but he did not go in.

  1951. Then Simon Peter came following him and went into the tomb.

  1952. He saw the linen claus lying there, and the facecloth

  1953. which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the

  1954. linen claws, but folded up in a place by itself.

  1955. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,

  1956. also went in, and he saw and believed, for as

  1957. yet they did not understand the scripture that he must

  1958. rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to

  1959. their homes, but Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. And

  1960. as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb,

  1961. and she saw two angels in white sitting where the

  1962. body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and

  1963. one at the feet. They said to her, woman, why

  1964. are you weeping? She said to them, they have.

  1965. Taken away my lord, and I do not know where

  1966. they have laid him.

  1967. Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing,

  1968. but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus

  1969. said to her.

  1970. Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?

  1971. Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, Sir,

  1972. if you have carried him away, tell me where you

  1973. have laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus

  1974. said to her Mary. She turned and said to him

  1975. in Aramaic rabboni, which means teacher, Jesus said to her, do.

  1976. Not going to me, for I have not yet ascended

  1977. to the Father. But go to my brothers and say

  1978. to them, I am ascending to my Father and your father,

  1979. to my God and your God.

  1980. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, I have

  1981. seen the Lord, and that he had said these things

  1982. to her. On the evening of that day, the first

  1983. day of the week, the doors being locked where the

  1984. disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and

  1985. stood among them and said to them.

  1986. Peace be with you.

  1987. When he had said this, he showed them his hands

  1988. and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they

  1989. saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again.

  1990. Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me,

  1991. even so I am sending you.

  1992. And when he had said this, he breathed on them

  1993. and said to them.

  1994. Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of

  1995. any they are forgiven them. If you withhold forgiveness for many,

  1996. it is withheld now.

  1997. Thomas, one of the twelve called the Twin, was not

  1998. with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples.

  1999. Told him, we have seen the Lord.

  2000. But he said to them.

  2001. Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nells,

  2002. and placed my finger into the mark of the nells,

  2003. and placed my hand into his side, I will never believe.

  2004. Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas

  2005. was with them, although the doors were locked. Jesus came

  2006. and stood among them and said, peace be with you.

  2007. Then he said to Thomas, put.

  2008. Your finger here and see my hands, and put out

  2009. your hand and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve,

  2010. but believe.

  2011. Thomas answered him.

  2012. My Lord and my God.

  2013. Jesus said to him.

  2014. Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are

  2015. those who have not seen it and yet have believed.

  2016. Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of

  2017. the disciples, which are not written in this book. But

  2018. these are written so that you may believe that Jesus

  2019. is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by

  2020. believing you may have life in his name John twenty one.

  2021. After this, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by

  2022. the sea of Tiberius. And he revealed himself in this way.

  2023. Simon Peter Thomas called the twin Nathaniel of cana and

  2024. Galilee the sons of Zebedee and two others of his

  2025. disciples were together. Simon Peter said.

  2026. To them, I am going fishing.

  2027. They said to him, we will go with you. They

  2028. went out and got into the boat. But that night

  2029. they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood

  2030. on the shore. Yet the disciples did not know that

  2031. it was Jesus. Jesus said to them.

  2032. Children, do you have any fish?

  2033. They answered him no.

  2034. He said to them, cast the net on the right

  2035. side of the boat, and you will find some.

  2036. So they asked it, and now they were not able

  2037. to haul it in because of the quantity of fish.

  2038. That disciple, whom Jesus loved, therefore said to Peter, it

  2039. is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was

  2040. the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he

  2041. was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.

  2042. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net

  2043. full of fish, for they were not far from the land,

  2044. but about one hundred yards off. When they got out

  2045. on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with

  2046. fish laid out on it and bread. Jesus said to them.

  2047. Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.

  2048. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore

  2049. full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three of them.

  2050. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.

  2051. Jesus said to.

  2052. Them, come and have breakfast.

  2053. Now none of the disciples dared ask him, who are you.

  2054. They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took

  2055. the bread and gave it to them, and so with

  2056. the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus

  2057. was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from

  2058. the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to

  2059. Simon Peter.

  2060. Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?

  2061. He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I

  2062. love you. He said to him, feed my lambs. He

  2063. said to him a second.

  2064. Time, Simon, son of John, do you love me?

  2065. He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I

  2066. love you. He said to him, Tend my sheep. He

  2067. said to him the third.

  2068. Time, Simon, son of John, do you love me?

  2069. Peter was greed because he said to him the third time,

  2070. do you love me? And he said to him.

  2071. Lord, you know everything, You know that I love you.

  2072. Jesus said to him, feed my sheep.

  2073. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young,

  2074. you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted.

  2075. But when you are old, you will stretch out your

  2076. hands and another will dress you and carry you where

  2077. you do not want to go.

  2078. This, he said to show by what kind of death

  2079. he was to glorify God. And after saying.

  2080. This, he said to him, follow me.

  2081. Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them,

  2082. the one who had been reclining at table close to

  2083. him and had said, Lord, who is it that is

  2084. going to betray you? When Peter saw him, he said to.

  2085. Jesus, Lord, what about this man.

  2086. Jesus said to him, if it is.

  2087. My will that he remain until I come, what is

  2088. that to you? You follow me?

  2089. So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this

  2090. disciple was not to die. Yet Jesus did not say

  2091. to him that he was not to die. But if

  2092. it is my will that he remain until I come,

  2093. what is that to you? This is the disciple who

  2094. is bearing witness about these things, and who has written

  2095. these things. And we know that his testimony is true. Now.

  2096. There are also many other things that Jesus did. Were

  2097. every one of them to be written, I suppose that

  2098. the world itself could not contain the books that would

  2099. be written.
