Chapter 7
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee :
for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jews' feast
of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go
into Judaea , that thy disciples also may see
the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he
himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to
the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but
your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast;
for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee .
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up
unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is
he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning
him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the
people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the
midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man
letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered
them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do
his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I
speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he
that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness
is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you
keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who
goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work,
and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because
it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a
man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that
the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made
a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not
according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of
them of Jerusalem
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto
him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye
both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that
sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the
people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles
than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take
him.
33 Then said Jesus
unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent
me.
34 Ye shall seek me,
and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go,
that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,
and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek
me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst,
let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth
on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water.
39 (But this spake he
of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall
Christ come out of Galilee ?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the
seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem ,
where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid
hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on
him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by
night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know
what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee ? Search, and look: for out of Galilee
ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
Chapter 8
1 Jesus went unto the
Mount of Olives .
2 And early in the
morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he
sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and
Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her
in the midst,
4 They say unto him,
Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the
law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said,
tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and
with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they
continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he
stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which
heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,
beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the
woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had
lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where
are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man,
Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus
again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees
therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not
true.
14 Jesus answered and
said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I
know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and
whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the
flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I
judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent
me.
17 It is also written
in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear
witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then said they
unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my
Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These words spake
Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on
him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye
shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he
saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from
above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore
unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he,
ye shall die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith
unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he
that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard
of him.
27 They understood
not that he spake to them of the Father.
28. Then said Jesus
unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am
he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak
these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left
me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my
disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never
in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant
of sin.
35 And the servant
abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are
Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which
I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and
said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were
Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to
kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this
did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of
your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one
Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto
them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came
from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye
cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it.
45 And because I tell
you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God
heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the
Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a
devil?
49 Jesus answered, I
have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not
mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews
unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the
prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of
death.
53 Art thou greater
than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest
thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If
I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of
whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not
known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a
liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews
unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up
stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going
through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Chapter 9
And as Jesus passed
by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples
asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was
born blind?
3 Jesus answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should
be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the
works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can
work.
5 As long as I am in
the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus
spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed
the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him,
Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his
way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours
therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not
this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is
he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said
they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and
said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said
unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I
received sight.
12 Then said they
unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to
the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
.jpg)
14 And it was the
sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the
Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He
put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said
some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the
sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And
there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the
blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He
said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did
not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until
they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked
them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now
see?
20 His parents
answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born
blind:
21 But by what means
he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of
age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake
his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already,
that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue.
23 Therefore said his
parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called
they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know
that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and
said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas
I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to
him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them,
I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again?
will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled
him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God
spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered
and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from
whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that
God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will,
him he heareth.
32 Since the world
began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were
not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and
said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And
they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that
they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou
believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might
believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it
is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,
that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto
them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth.
Chapter 10
Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up
some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that
entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter
openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name,
and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth
forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they
know his voice.
5 And a stranger will
they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of
strangers.
6 This parable spake
Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them.
7 Then said Jesus
unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came
before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by
me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find
pasture.
10 The thief cometh
not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an
hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf
coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and
scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling
fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good
shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father
knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I
have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear
my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my
Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it
from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have
power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for
these sayings.
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why
hear ye him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 And it was at Jerusalem
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him,
How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered
them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name,
they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I
said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my
voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto
them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which
gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand.
30 I and my Father
are one.
31 Then the Jews took
up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered
them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those
works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered
him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because
that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered
them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came,
and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent
into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do,
though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe,
that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped
out of their hand,
40 And went away
again beyond Jordan
41 And many resorted
unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this
man were true.
42 And many believed
on him there.
Chapter 11
Now a certain man was
sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary
2 (It was that Mary
which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose
brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his
sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard
that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that
the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved
Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard
therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he
was.
7 Then after that
saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea
again.
8 His disciples say
unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither
again?
9 Jesus answered, Are
there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth
not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk
in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things said
he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go,
that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his
disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus
spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep.
14 Then said Jesus
unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for
your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let
us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas,
which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may
die with him.
17 Then when Jesus
came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem
19 And many of the
Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as
soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still
in the house.
21 Then said Martha
unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that
even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto
her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto
him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto
her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever
liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto
him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which
should come into the world.
28 And when she had
so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The
Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 As soon as she
heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Now Jesus was not
yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then
which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that
she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the
grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was
come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 When Jesus
therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he
groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34 And said, Where
have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the
Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them
said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that
even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore
again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay
upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take
ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him,
Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto
her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see
the glory of God?
41 Then they took
away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his
eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that
thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus
had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was
dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound
about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the
Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on
him.
46 But some of them
went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a
council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him:
and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49.And one of them,
named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know
nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man
should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should
gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for
to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but
went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim,
and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the Jews'
passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem
56 Then sought they
for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think
ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they
might take him.
Chapter 12
Then Jesus six days
before the passover came to Bethany
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Then took Mary a
pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus,
and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of
the ointment.
4 Then saith one of
his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this
ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not
that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and
bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus,
Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.
9 Much people of the
Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only,
but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief
priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Because that by
reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day
much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming
to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of
palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King
of Israel
14 And Jesus, when he
had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter
of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things
understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then
remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done
these things unto him.
17 The people
therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised
him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the
people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees
therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold,
the world is gone after him.
20 And there were
certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came
therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee , and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see
Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and
telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23.And Jesus answered
them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth
alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his
life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it
unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve
me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any
man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul
troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this
cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify
thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified
it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of
me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince
of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people
answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and
how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said
unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the
light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not
whither he goeth.
36 While ye have
light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things
spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 But though he had
done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 That the saying of
Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed
our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they
could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded
their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes,
nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said
Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Nevertheless among
the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they
did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God.
44 Jesus cried and
said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth
me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light
into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man
hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the
world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth
me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have
spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not
spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what
I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak.
John chapter 7 to 12
Day 22
Chapter 13
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that
his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,
having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into
his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and
took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to
wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest
not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but
also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to
wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye
are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done
to you?
13 Ye call me Master
and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your
Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's
feet.
15 For I have given
you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent
greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these
things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 I speak not of you
all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He
that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you
before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had
thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples
looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was
leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter
therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he
spake.
25 He then lying on
Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He
it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had
dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop
Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the
table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29 For some of them
thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those
things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give
something to the poor.
30 He then having
received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31.Therefore, when he
was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified
in him.
32 If God be
glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway
glorify him.
33 Little children,
yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the
Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment
I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also
love one another.
35 By this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 Simon Peter said
unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou
canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto
him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered
him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
Chapter 14
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in
God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's
house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye
know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou
goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.
7 If ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have
seen him.
8 Philip saith unto
him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto
him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us
the Father?
10 Believest thou not
that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you
I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I
am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works'
sake.
12 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye
shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the
Son.
14 If ye shall ask
any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me,
keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you
for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of
truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave
you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little
while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also.
20 At that day ye
shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to
him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and
said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love
him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present
with you.
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how
I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would
rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that,
when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and
as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence
Chapter 15
I am the true vine,
and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me
that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean
through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I
in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye
are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth
much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not
in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and
cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto
you.
8 Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath
loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my
commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have
I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be
full.
12 This is my
commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call
you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have
called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made
known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen
me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I
command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate
you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the
world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I
have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word
that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they
will keep yours also.
21 But all these
things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that
sent me.
22 If I had not come
and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their
sin.
23 He that hateth me
hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done
among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now
have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to
pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated
me without a cause.
26 But when the
Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit
of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall
bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Chapter 16
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have
not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall
come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto
you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but
if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and
of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see
me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify
me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that
the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and
shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while,
and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me,
because I go to the Father.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is
this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again,
a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and
said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while,
and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and
lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow
shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her
hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no
more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye
shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye
asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have
I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak
unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At that day ye
shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for
you:
27 For the Father
himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out
from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou
plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now are we sure
that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by
this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall
be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not
alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I
have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Chapter 17
These words spake
Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come;
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given
him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou
hast given him.
3 And this is life
eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified
thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father,
glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before
the world was.
6 I have manifested
thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were,
and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known
that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given
unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have
known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst
send me.
9 I pray for them: I
pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are
thine.
10 And all mine are
thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no
more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father,
keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be
one, as we are.
12 While I was with
them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have
kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture
might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to
thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy
fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them
thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that
thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them
from the evil.
16 They are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them
through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent
me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their
sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for
these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may
be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in
us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are
one:
23 I in them, and
thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will
that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may
behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world.
25 O righteous
Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have
known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have
declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou
hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Chapter 18
When Jesus had spoken
these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was
a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also,
which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with
his disciples.
3 Judas then, having
received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore,
knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,
Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him,
Jesus of Nazareth
6 As soon then as he
had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them
again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth
8 Jesus answered, I
have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9 That the saying
might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost
none.
10 Then Simon Peter
having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his
right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus
unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath
given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the band and
the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13.And led him away
to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest
that same year.
14 Now Caiaphas was
he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should
die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter
followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the
high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 But Peter stood at
the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the
high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the
damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's
disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 And the servants
and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and
they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of
his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever
taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and
in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have
said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which
stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the
high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness
of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high
priest.
25 And Simon Peter
stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one
of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the
servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith,
Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied
again: and immediately the cock crew.
28 Then led they
Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they
themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but
that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilate then went
out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and
said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up
unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate
unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore
said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 That the saying of
Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate
entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art
thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered
him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered,
Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me:
what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, My
kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my
servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my
kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore
said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a
king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I
should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my
voice.
38 Pilate saith unto
him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews,
and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 But ye have a
custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore
that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then cried they
all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Chapter 19
Then Pilate therefore
took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers
platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple
robe,
3 And said, Hail,
King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore
went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that
ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus
forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto
them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief
priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him,
crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find
no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered
him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the
Son of God.
8 When Pilate
therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into
the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no
answer.
10 Then saith Pilate
unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to
crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered,
Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from
above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 And from
thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If
thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a
king speaketh against Caesar.
13 When Pilate
therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha.
14 And it was the
preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the
Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they cried
out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I
crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he
him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which
is called in the Hebrew Golgotha :
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a
title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write
not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took
his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat:
now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it,
but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled,
which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did
cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by
the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of
Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus
therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith
unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to
the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto
his own home.
28 After this, Jesus
knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be
fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set
a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it
upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus
therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews
therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain
upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
away.
32 Then came the
soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified
with him.
33 But when they came
to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the
soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and
water.
35 And he that saw it
bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye
might believe.
36 For these things
were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be
broken.
37 And again another
scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this
Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the
Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate
gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came
also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the
body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of
the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place
where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre,
wherein was never man yet laid.
42.There laid they
Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was
nigh at hand.
Chapter 20
The first day of the
week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and
seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth,
and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and
saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we
know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore
went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both
together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the
sepulchre.
5 And he stooping
down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon
Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes
lie,
7 And the napkin,
that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together
in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also
that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and
believed.
9 For as yet they
knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples
went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood
without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked
into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two
angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where
the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto
her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away
my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had
thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that
it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the
gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou
hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto
her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say,
Master.
17 Jesus saith unto
her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my
brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to
my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene
came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken
these things unto her.
19 Then the same day
at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the
disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the
midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so
said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to
them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had
said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins
ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they
are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of
the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other
disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto
them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger
into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not
believe.
26 And after eight
days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus,
the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to
Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy
hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered
and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto
him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they
that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of
his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are
written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing ye might have life through his name.
Chapter 21
After these things
Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias
2 There were together
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and
the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith
unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went
forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the
morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that
it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith
unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto
them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast
therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that
disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon
Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other
disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it
were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as
they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon,
and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto
them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went
up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and
three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto
them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou?
knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh,
and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the
third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen
from the dead.
15 So when they had
dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more
than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He
saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him
again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him
the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because
he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst
whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy
hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he,
signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he
saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter,
turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned
on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him
saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto
him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this
saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus
said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee?
24 This is the
disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know
that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also
many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every
one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen.
