\p
\v 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
\v 2 This one was in the beginning with God.
\v 3 All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
\s5
2017-08-09 17:48:27 +00:00
\v 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
2018-10-17 13:38:27 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 6 There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
\v 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
\v 8 John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
\s5
\v 9 The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
\s5
\v 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
\v 11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
\s5
\v 12 But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
\v 13 These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
\s5
\v 14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
2017-07-18 14:04:19 +00:00
\v 15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 16 For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
\v 17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
2018-09-18 18:35:34 +00:00
\v 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made God known.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00

\p
\v 19 This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
2017-10-05 12:12:23 +00:00
\v 20 He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—"I am not the Christ."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 21 So they asked him, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." They said, "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."
\s5
\v 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"
\v 23 He said,
\q "I am a voice, crying in the wilderness:
\q 'Make the way of the Lord straight,'
2017-09-05 15:34:56 +00:00
\m just as Isaiah the prophet said."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 24 Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 25 and they asked him and said to him, "Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"
\s5
\v 26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
\v 27 He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
\v 28 These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
\s5
2018-10-01 17:09:57 +00:00
\v 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look, there is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 30 This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
\v 31 I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water."
\s5
2019-07-24 16:29:48 +00:00
\v 32 John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit coming down like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
\v 33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 34 I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God."
\s5
\p
\v 35 Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
\v 36 they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
\s5
\v 37 His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which is translated "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 39 He said to them, "Come and see." Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
\s5
\v 40 One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
\v 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated is: Christ).
2017-09-26 13:08:58 +00:00
\v 42 He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 43 The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
\v 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
\v 45 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, "He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
\s5
\v 46 Nathaniel said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
\v 47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, "See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!"
\v 48 Nathaniel said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
\s5
\v 49 Nathaniel replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
\v 50 Jesus replied and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this."
\v 51 Then he said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

\p
\v 1 Three days later, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
\v 2 Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
\s5
\v 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
\v 4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why do you come to me? My time has not yet come."
\v 5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
\s5
\v 6 Now there were six stone water pots there used for the Jewish ceremonial washing, each containing two to three metretes.
\v 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.
\v 8 Then he told the servants, "Take some out now and take it to the head waiter." So they did.
\s5
\v 9 The head waiter tasted the water that had become wine, but he did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew). Then he called the bridegroom
\v 10 and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first and then the cheaper wine when they are drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now."
\s5
\v 11 This first sign Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
\s5
\v 12 After this Jesus, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and they stayed there for a few days.
\s5
\p
\v 13 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
\v 14 He found sellers of oxen and sheep and pigeons in the temple, and the money changers were sitting there.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 15 So he made a whip of cords and drove all of them out from the temple, including both the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the money changers and turned their tables over.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 16 To the pigeon sellers he said, "Take these things away from here. Stop making the house of my Father a marketplace."
\s5
\v 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
\v 18 Then the Jewish authorities responded and said to him, "What sign will you show us, since you are doing these things?"
\v 19 Jesus replied, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
\s5
\v 20 Then the Jewish authorities said, "This temple was built in forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?"
\v 21 However, he was speaking about the temple of his body.
2017-09-27 15:50:43 +00:00
\v 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the scripture and this statement that Jesus had spoken.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he did.
\v 24 But Jesus did not trust in them because he knew them all,
\v 25 because he did not need anyone to testify to him about man, for he knew what was in man.
2017-10-02 11:13:26 +00:00

\c 3
\p
\v 1 Now there was a Pharisee whose name was Nicodemus, a Jewish leader.
\v 2 This man came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher that came from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."
\s5
\v 3 Jesus replied to him, "Truly, truly, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
\v 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"
\s5
\v 5 Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
\v 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
\s5
\v 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
2017-10-02 11:13:26 +00:00
\v 8 The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 9 Nicodemus replied and said to him, "How can these things be?"
\v 10 Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
\v 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. Yet you do not accept our testimony.
2018-10-17 13:38:27 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 12 If I told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
\v 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
\v 15 so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.
\s5
\p
2018-09-18 18:34:07 +00:00
\v 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but in order to save the world through him.
2018-09-18 18:34:07 +00:00
\v 18 He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 19 This is the reason for the judgment: The light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
2017-10-04 14:26:33 +00:00
\v 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 21 However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done in God."
\s5
\p
\v 22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. There he spent some time with them and baptized.
\v 23 Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there. People were coming to him and were being baptized,
\v 24 for John had not yet been thrown in prison.
\s5
\v 25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew about ceremonial washing.
\v 26 They went to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and they are all going to him."
\s5
\v 27 John replied, "A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
\v 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but instead, 'I have been sent before him.'
\s5
\v 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. Now the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the voice of the bridegroom. This, then, is my joy made complete.
\v 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
\s5
\p
\v 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
\v 32 He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
\v 33 He who has received his testimony has confirmed that God is true.
\s5
\v 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure.
\v 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
\v 36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God stays on him."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\c 4
\p
\v 1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
\v 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
\v 3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
\s5
\v 4 But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
\v 5 So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
\s5
\v 6 The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
\v 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."
\v 8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
\s5
\v 9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
\v 10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
\s5
\v 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?
\v 12 You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 13 Jesus replied and said to her, "Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
2018-11-02 15:12:14 +00:00
\v 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will not ever be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water."
\v 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back here."
\s5
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 17 The woman answered and said to him, "I do not have a husband." Jesus replied, "You have said correctly, 'I have no husband,'
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."
\s5
\v 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
\v 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship."
\s5
\v 21 Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
\v 22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
\s5
\v 23 However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
\v 24 God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
\s5
\v 25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
\v 26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one speaking to you."
\s5
\p
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 27 At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 28 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
\v 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?"
\v 30 They left the town and came to him.
\s5
\v 31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
\v 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
\v 33 So the disciples said to each other, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
\v 35 Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 36 He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 37 For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another reaps,' is true.
\v 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 39 Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, "He told me everything that I have done."
\v 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
\s5
\v 41 Many more believed because of his word.
2018-02-16 20:04:18 +00:00
\v 42 They said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the Savior of the world."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 43 After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
\v 44 For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
2017-09-05 15:34:56 +00:00
\v 45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 46 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
\v 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
\s5
\v 48 Jesus then said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe."
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 49 The royal official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 50 Jesus said to him, "Go. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
\s5
\v 51 While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
\v 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
\s5
\v 53 Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives." So he himself and his whole household believed.
\v 54 This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
2017-08-09 18:01:13 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\c 5
\p
\v 1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\v 2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate there is a pool, which in the Aramaic language is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.
\v 3 A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there. \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have the phrase, \fqa waiting for the moving of the water \fqa*. \f*
\v 4 \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have verse 4, \fqa For an angel of the Lord went down and stirred up the water at certain times and whoever stepped in while the water was stirring was healed from whatever disease he suffered from \fqa*. \f*
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
\v 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healthy?"
\s5
\v 7 The sick man replied, "Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps down before me."
\v 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, take up your bed, and walk."
\s5
\v 9 Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
\p Now that day was a Sabbath.
\s5
\v 10 So the Jews said to him who was healed, "It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat."
\v 11 He replied, "He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
\s5
\v 12 They asked him, "Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?"
\v 13 However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was a crowd in the place.
\s5
\v 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not happen to you."
\v 15 The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.

\v 16 Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
\v 17 Jesus replied to them, "My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working."
\v 18 Because of this, the Jews sought even more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
\s5
\p
\v 19 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does in the same way.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 20 For the Father loves the Son and he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to anyone he wishes.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son
\v 23 so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
\s5
\v 24 Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has passed from death to life.
\s5
\v 25 Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
\s5
\v 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,
\v 27 and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 28 Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will hear his voice
\v 29 and will come out: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 30 I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.
\v 31 If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.
\v 32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
\s5
\v 33 You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.
\v 34 But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
\v 35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.
\s5
\v 36 Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me that the Father has sent me.
\v 37 The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
\v 38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
\s5
\v 39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me,
\v 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
\s5
2018-11-02 20:25:28 +00:00
\v 41 I do not receive glory from men,
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 42 but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
\s5
\v 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would receive him.
2018-11-02 20:25:28 +00:00
\v 44 How can you believe, you who accept glory from one another but are not seeking the glory that comes from the only God?
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 45 Do not think that I myself will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have hoped.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
\v 47 If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?"

\v 1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
\v 2 A great crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
\v 3 Jesus went up the mountain and there he sat down with his disciples.
\s5
\v 4 (Now the Passover, the Jewish festival, was near.)
\v 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where are we going to buy bread so that these may eat?"
\v 6 (But Jesus said this to test Philip, for he himself knew what he was going to do.)
2018-10-17 13:38:27 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be sufficient for each one to have even a little."
\v 8 One of the disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,
2018-11-02 21:09:23 +00:00
\v 9 "There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 11 Then Jesus took the loaves and after giving thanks, he gave it to those who were sitting. He did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.
\v 12 When the people were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing will be lost."
\s5
\v 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
\v 14 Then, when the people saw this sign that he did, they said, "This truly is the prophet who is to come into the world."
\v 15 When Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him by force to make him king, he withdrew again up the mountain by himself.
\s5
\p
\v 16 When it became evening, his disciples went down to the sea.
\v 17 They got into a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was dark by this time, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
\v 18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough.
\s5
\v 19 When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
\v 20 But he said to them, "It is I! Do not be afraid."
\v 21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land where they were going.
\s5
\p
\v 22 The next day, the crowd that had been standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that his disciples had gone away alone.
\v 23 However, there were some boats that came from Tiberias close to the place where they had eaten the bread loaves after the Lord had given thanks.
\s5
\v 24 When the crowd discovered that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
\v 25 After they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
\s5
\v 26 Jesus replied to them, saying, "Truly, truly, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate some of the bread loaves and were filled.
2018-12-10 16:41:52 +00:00
\v 27 Do not labor for the food that perishes, but labor for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has set his seal on him."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, so that we may do the works of God?"
\v 29 Jesus replied and said to them, "This is the work of God: That you believe in the one whom he has sent."
\s5
\v 30 So they said to him, "What sign then will you do, so that we may see and believe you? What will you do?
\v 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
\s5
\v 32 Then Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.
\v 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
\v 34 So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
\s5
\v 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
\v 36 But I told you that indeed you have seen me, and you do not believe.
\v 37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will certainly not throw out.
\s5
\v 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
\v 39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I would lose not one of all those whom he has given me, but will raise them up on the last day.
\v 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him would have eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day."
\s5
\p
\v 41 Then the Jews grumbled about him because he had said, "I am the bread that has come down from heaven."
\v 42 They said, "Is not this Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"
\s5
\v 43 Jesus replied and said to them, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.
\v 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
\v 45 It is written in the prophets, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
\s5
\v 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God—he has seen the Father.
\v 47 Truly, truly, he who believes has eternal life.
\s5
\v 48 I am the bread of life.
\v 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
\s5
\v 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat some of it and not die.
\v 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats some of this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
\s5
\p
\v 52 The Jews became angry among themselves and began to argue, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
\v 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.
\s5
\v 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
\v 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
\v 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
\s5
\v 57 As the living Father sent me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats me, he will also live because of me.
\v 58 This is the bread that has come down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
\v 59 But Jesus said these things in the synagogue while he was teaching in Capernaum.
\s5
\p
2018-11-21 01:50:22 +00:00
\v 60 Then many of his disciples who heard this said, "This is a difficult saying; who can hear it?"
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 61 Jesus, because he knew in himself that his disciples were grumbling at this, said to them, "Does this offend you?
\s5
\v 62 Then what if you should see the Son of Man going up to where he was before?
2017-08-29 17:38:54 +00:00
\v 63 It is the Spirit who makes alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who were the ones that would not believe and who it was who would betray him.
\v 65 He said, "It is because of this that I said to you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father."
\s5
\p
\v 66 Because of this, many of his disciples went away and no longer walked with him.
\v 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
2019-07-24 16:29:48 +00:00
\v 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have words of eternal life,
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 69 and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God." \f + \ft The phrase \fqa the Holy One of God \fqa* is in the best ancient copies. Some later copies add an additional description and they read: \fqa the Christ, the Holy One of God \fqa* . \f*
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 70 Jesus said to them, "Did not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
\v 71 Now he spoke of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he, one of the twelve, who would betray Jesus.
2017-08-09 18:01:13 +00:00

\p
\v 1 After these things Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he did not want to go into Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
\v 2 Now the Jewish Festival of Shelters was near.
\s5
\v 3 His brothers therefore said to him, "Leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 4 No one does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
\v 6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
\v 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
\s5
\v 8 You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled."
\v 9 After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
\s5
\p
\v 10 But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.
\v 11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, "Where is he?"
\s5
\v 12 There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "No, he leads the crowds astray."
\v 13 Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.
\s5
\p
\v 14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
\v 15 Then the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this man know so much? He has never been educated."
\v 16 Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.
\s5
\v 17 If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
\v 18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
\s5
\v 19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?"
\v 20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
\s5
\v 21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
\v 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
\s5
\v 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
\v 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteously."
\s5
\p
\v 25 Some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is not this the one they seek to kill?
\v 26 See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?
\v 27 Yet we know where this one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
\s5
\v 28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
\v 29 I know him because I come from him and he sent me."
\s5
\v 30 They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
\v 31 But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?"
\v 32 The Pharisees heard the crowds whispering these things about Jesus, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
\s5
\v 33 Jesus then said, "I am still with you for a short amount of time, and then I go to him who sent me.
\v 34 You will seek me but you will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come."
\s5
\v 35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go to the dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
\v 36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me but will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come'?"
\s5
\p
\v 37 Now on the last, great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 38 He who believes in me, just as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his belly."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 39 But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
\s5
\v 40 Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, "This is indeed the prophet."
\v 41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Does the Christ come from Galilee?
\v 42 Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
\s5
\v 43 So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.
\v 44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
\v 46 The officers answered, "Never has anyone spoken like this."
\s5
\v 47 So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?
\v 48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
\v 49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed."
\s5
\v 50 Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,
\v 51 "Does our law judge a man before hearing from him and knowing what he does?"
\v 52 They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."

2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 2 Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
\v 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
\s5
\v 4 Then they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?"
\v 6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
\s5
\v 7 When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, "The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 8 Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
\s5
\v 9 When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
2019-02-28 19:14:48 +00:00
\v 11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."] \f + \ft See the note on John 7:53. \f*

2018-11-12 18:17:02 +00:00
\v 13 The Pharisees said to him, "You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2018-11-12 18:17:02 +00:00
\v 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 15 You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
\v 16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
\s5
\v 17 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
2018-11-12 18:17:02 +00:00
\v 18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 19 They said to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also."
\v 20 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
\s5
\p
\v 21 So again he said to them, "I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
\v 22 The Jews said, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"
\s5
\v 23 Jesus said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
\v 24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
\s5
\v 25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I have said to you from the beginning.
\v 26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world."
\v 27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
\s5
\v 28 Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
\v 29 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him."
\v 30 As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
\s5
\p
\v 31 Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
\v 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
\v 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
\v 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
\v 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
\s5
\v 37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
\v 38 I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father."
\s5
\v 39 They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
\v 40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
\v 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God."
\s5
\v 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
\v 43 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
\v 44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
\s5
\v 45 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
\v 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
\v 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God."
\s5
\v 48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
\v 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
\s5
\v 50 I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
\v 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
\s5
\v 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
\v 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
\s5
\v 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.
\v 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
\v 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
\s5
\v 57 The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?"
\v 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
\v 59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

\p
\v 1 Now as Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
\v 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, so that he was born blind?"
\s5
\v 3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents, but so that the works of God would be revealed in him.
\v 4 We must do the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one will be able to work.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
\s5
\v 6 After Jesus said these things, he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and smeared the mud on his eyes.
2018-06-25 16:36:49 +00:00
\v 7 He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "Sent"). So the man went away, washed, and came back seeing.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 8 Then the man's neighbors and those who had seen him previously as a beggar were saying, "Is not this the man that used to sit and beg?"
\v 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." But he said, "It is me."
\s5
\v 10 They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
\v 11 He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received my sight."
\v 12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He replied, "I do not know."
\s5
\p
\v 13 They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.
\v 14 Now it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
\v 15 Then again the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I now can see."
\s5
\v 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" So there was a division among them.
\v 17 So they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, since he opened your eyes?" The blind man said, "He is a prophet."
\v 18 Now the Jews still did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.
\s5
\v 19 They asked the parents, "Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
\v 20 So his parents answered them, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
\v 21 How he now sees, we do not know, and who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him, he is an adult. He can speak for himself."
\s5
\v 22 His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess him to be the Christ, he would be thrown out of the synagogue.
\v 23 Because of this, his parents said, "He is an adult, ask him."
\s5
\v 24 So for a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
\v 25 Then that man replied, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."
\s5
\v 26 Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
\v 27 He answered, "I have told you already, and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples too, do you?
\s5
\v 28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
\v 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from."
\s5
\v 30 The man answered and said to them, "This is remarkable, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone worships God and does his will, he listens to him.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 32 Since the world began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.
\v 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
\v 34 They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and you are teaching us?" Then they threw him out.
\s5
\p
\v 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out of the synagogue. He found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
\v 36 He replied and said, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
\v 37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is the one who is speaking with you."
2018-06-06 10:49:22 +00:00
\v 38 The man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 39 Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world so that those who do not see may see and so that those who see may become blind."
\v 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and asked him, "Are we also blind?"
\v 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, 'We see,' so your sin remains."
2018-10-17 13:38:27 +00:00

\p
\v 1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
\v 2 He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
\s5
\v 3 The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
\v 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
\s5
\v 5 They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
\v 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
\s5
\p
\v 7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
\v 8 Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
\s5
\v 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
2018-10-17 16:35:46 +00:00
\v 10 The thief does not come except to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they will have life and have it abundantly.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
2018-11-03 18:04:49 +00:00
\v 12 The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 13 He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
\s5
\v 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
\v 15 The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
\v 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
\s5
\v 17 This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
\v 18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."
\s5
\p
\v 19 A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
\v 20 Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
\v 21 Others said, "These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
\s5
\p
2019-02-04 17:32:32 +00:00
\v 22 Then it was time for the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter,
\v 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, "How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly."
\s5
\v 25 Jesus replied to them, "I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
\v 26 Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
\s5
\v 27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
\v 28 I give them eternal life; they will never die, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
\s5
\v 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
\v 30 I and the Father are one."
\v 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
\s5
\v 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?"
\v 33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God."
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?
\v 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
\v 36 do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
\s5
\v 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
\v 38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."
\v 39 They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
\s5
\p
\v 40 He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
\v 41 Many people came to him and they said, "John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true."
\v 42 Many people believed in him there.
2017-07-25 04:29:56 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00

\c 11
\p
\v 1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
\v 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
\s5
\v 3 The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, "Lord, see, he whom you love is sick."
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 4 When Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
\v 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
\v 7 Then after this, he said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
\s5
\v 8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?"
\v 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
\s5
\v 10 However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him."
\v 11 He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep."
\s5
\v 12 The disciples therefore said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
\v 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
\v 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
\s5
\v 15 I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him."
\v 16 Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus."
\s5
\p
\v 17 When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
\v 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
\v 19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
\v 20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
\s5
\v 21 Martha then said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
\v 22 Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you."
\v 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
\s5
\v 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
\v 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
\v 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
\s5
\v 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world."
\v 28 When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."
\v 29 When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
\s5
\v 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
\v 31 So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
\v 32 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
\s5
\v 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
\v 34 he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."
\v 35 Jesus wept.
\s5
\v 36 Then the Jews said, "See how much he loved Lazarus!"
\v 37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?"
\s5
\v 38 Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
\v 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, "Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days."
\v 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
\s5
\v 41 So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
\v 42 I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me."
\s5
\v 43 After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
\v 44 The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
\v 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
\s5
\p
\v 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, "What will we do? This man does many signs.
\v 48 If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
\s5
\v 49 However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing.
\v 50 You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes."
\s5
\v 51 Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
\v 52 and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
\v 53 So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
\s5
\p
\v 54 No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
\v 55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
\s5
\v 56 They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?"
\v 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
2017-09-27 12:57:40 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00

\c 12
\p
\v 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 2 So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of those who was lying down at the table with Jesus.
2018-06-25 13:21:03 +00:00
\v 3 Then Mary took a litra of perfume made of very precious pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 4 Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who would betray him, said,
\v 5 "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
\v 6 Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He had the moneybag and would steal from what was put in it.
\s5
\v 7 Jesus said, "Allow her to keep what she has for the day of my burial.
\v 8 You will always have the poor with you. But you will not always have me."
\s5
\p
2017-09-27 15:50:43 +00:00
\v 9 Now a large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, and they came, not only for Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 10 The chief priests conspired together so that they might also put Lazarus to death;
\v 11 for it was because of him that many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 12 On the next day a great crowd came to the festival. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
\v 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it was written,
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 15 "Do not fear, daughter of Zion; see, your King is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey."
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
\s5
2017-09-27 15:50:43 +00:00
\v 17 Now the crowd testified that they had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him up from the dead.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 18 It was also for this reason that the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "Look, you can do nothing good; see, the world has gone after him."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 20 Now certain Greeks were among those who were going up to worship at the festival.
\v 21 These went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
\v 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip, and they told Jesus.
\s5
\v 23 Jesus answered them and said, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
\v 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it will bear much fruit.
\s5
\v 25 He who loves his life will lose it; but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
\v 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
\s5
\v 27 Now my soul is troubled and what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.
\v 28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven and said, "I have glorified it and I will glorify it again."
\v 29 Then the crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
\s5
\v 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come for me, but for you.
\v 31 Now is the judgment of this world: Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
\s5
\v 32 When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."
\v 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
\s5
\v 34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will stay forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
\v 35 Jesus then said to them, "The light will still be with you for a short amount of time. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
\v 36 While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may be sons of light."
\p Jesus said these things and then departed and hid from them.
\s5
\v 37 Although Jesus had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him
\v 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, in which he said:
\q "Lord, who has believed our report,
\q and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
\m
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah had also said,
\q
\v 40 "He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their hearts;
\q otherwise they would see with their eyes and understand with their hearts,
\q and turn,
\q and I would heal them."
\m
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke of him.
2018-04-02 14:47:41 +00:00
\v 42 But despite that, many of the rulers believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees, they did not confess it so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.
2018-11-05 15:34:21 +00:00
\v 43 They loved the glory that comes from people more than the glory that comes from God.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 44 Jesus cried out and said, "The one who believes in me, believes not only in me but also in him who sent me,
\v 45 and the one who sees me sees him who sent me.
\s5
\v 46 I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
\v 47 If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
\s5
\v 48 The one who rejects me and who does not receive my words, has one who judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
\v 49 For I did not speak for myself, but it is the Father who sent me, who has given me the command about what to say and what to speak.
\v 50 I know that his command is eternal life, so that is what I say—just as the Father has spoken to me, so I speak."

\v 1 Now it was before the Festival of the Passover. Jesus knew that his hour had come to go out of this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2018-11-05 15:56:09 +00:00
\v 2 Now the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon, to betray Jesus. So during dinner,
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2018-11-05 15:56:09 +00:00
\v 3 Jesus—who knew that the Father had given everything over into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back to God—
\v 4 got up from dinner and took off his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped it around himself.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and dry them with the towel that he had put around himself.
\s5
\v 6 He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
\v 7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand this later."
\v 8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no share with me."
\v 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, do not only wash my feet, but also my hands and my head."
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but he is completely clean; you are clean, but not everyone."
\v 11 (For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean.")
\s5
\p
2018-11-05 17:22:34 +00:00
\v 12 So when Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you?
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 13 You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so I am.
\v 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.
\v 15 For I have given you an example so that you should also do just as I did for you.
\s5
\v 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is a messenger greater than he who sent him.
\v 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
\v 18 I am not speaking about all of you; I know those whom I have chosen—but this so that the scripture will be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.'
\s5
\v 19 I tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
\v 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\p
\v 21 When Jesus said this, he was troubled in spirit. He testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray me."
\v 22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he was speaking.
\s5
\v 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying down at the table against Jesus' side.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him who he is speaking about."
\v 25 So he leaned back against the side of Jesus and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
\s5
\v 26 Then Jesus answered, "It is the one for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him." So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
\v 27 Then after the bread, Satan entered into him, so Jesus said to him, "What you are doing, do it quickly."
\s5
\v 28 Now no one who was lying down at the table knew why he said this to him.
\v 29 Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus said to him, "Buy what we need to have for the festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
\v 30 After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately. It was night.
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
2018-11-20 20:01:36 +00:00
\v 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify the Son in himself, and he will glorify him at once.
2019-10-09 21:09:38 +00:00
\v 33 Little children, I am with you for still a short amount of time. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I also say this to you.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
\v 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."
\v 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
\v 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times."

\s5
\v 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and we will make our home with him.

\v 5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am." Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 6 So when he said to them, "I am," they went backward and fell to the ground.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 7 Then again he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" Again they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go."
\v 9 This was in order to fulfill the word that he said: "Of those whom you have given me, I lost no one."
\s5
\v 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
\v 11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword back into its sheath. Should I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?"
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 12 So the group of soldiers and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and tied him up.
\v 13 They led him first to Annas, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
\v 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had given the advice to the Jews that it would be better that one man die for the people.
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest;
2018-11-05 22:01:42 +00:00
\v 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought Peter in.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 17 Then the female servant, the doorkeeper, said to Peter, "Are you not also one of the disciples of this man?" He said, "I am not."
\v 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, and they had made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 19 The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
\v 20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
\v 21 Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. Look, these people know what I said."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing there struck Jesus and said, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"
\v 23 Jesus answered him, "If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if rightly, why do you hit me?"
\v 24 Then Annas sent him tied up to Caiaphas the high priest.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. The people then said to him, "Are you not also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
\v 26 One of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
2018-05-23 14:42:00 +00:00
\v 27 Then Peter denied it again; and immediately the rooster crowed.
\s5
\p
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\v 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would be able to eat the Passover.
2020-05-04 18:07:59 +00:00
\v 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would be able to eat the Passover.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 29 So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"
2020-05-04 18:07:59 +00:00
\v 30 They answered and said to him, "If this man was not an evildoer, we would not have given him over to you."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."
\v 32 They said this so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled which he had spoken to indicate by what kind of death he would die.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 33 Then Pilate entered the government headquarters again and called Jesus and he said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
\v 34 Jesus answered, "Do you speak from yourself, or did others speak to you about me?"
\v 35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and the chief priests gave you over to me. What did you do?"
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, then my servants would fight so that I would not be given over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here."
2018-11-12 18:17:02 +00:00
\v 37 Pilate then said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this purpose I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no guilt in this man.
\v 39 But you have the custom that I release one person to you at the Passover. So do you want me to release the King of the Jews to you?"
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\v 40 Then they cried out again and said, "Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.
2017-07-12 13:22:22 +00:00
\s5
2017-07-25 04:37:40 +00:00
\c 19
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 1 Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.
\v 2 The soldiers weaved a crown of thorns. They put it on the head of Jesus and dressed him with a purple garment.
\v 3 They came to him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they struck him.
\s5
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 4 Then Pilate went outside again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him outside to you so that you will know that I find no guilt in him."
\v 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man!"
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they cried out and said, "Crucify him, crucify him!"
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he has to die because he claimed to be the Son of God."
\v 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
\v 9 and he entered the government headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
\s5
\v 10 Then Pilate said to him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?"
\v 11 Jesus answered him, "You do not have any authority over me except for what has been given to you from above. Therefore, he who gave me over to you has a greater sin."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 12 At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p
\v 13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called "The Pavement," but in the Aramaic language, "Gabbatha."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, at about the sixth hour. Pilate said to the Jews, "See, here is your king!"
2019-04-03 16:34:08 +00:00
\p
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 15 They cried out, "Away with him, away with him; crucify him!"
\p Pilate said to them, "Should I crucify your King?"
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 16 Then Pilate gave Jesus over to them to be crucified.
\s5
\p
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\v 17 Then they took Jesus, and he went out, carrying the cross for himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which in the Aramaic language is called "Golgotha."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 18 They crucified Jesus there, and with him two other men, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 19 Pilate also wrote a sign and put it on the cross. There it was written: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\v 20 Many of the Jews read this sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The sign was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'This one said, "I am King of the Jews."'"
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, divided them into four shares, one for each of them; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
\v 24 Then they said to each other, "Let us not tear it, but instead let us cast lots for it to decide whose it will be." This happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled which said,
\q "They divided my garments among themselves
\q and cast lots for my clothing."
2017-09-05 15:34:56 +00:00
\m This is what the soldiers did.
\s5
2018-08-14 00:22:28 +00:00
\p
\v 25 Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, see, your son!"
\v 27 Then he said to the disciple, "See, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
2019-08-13 19:57:53 +00:00
\v 28 After this, knowing that everything was now completed and so that the scriptures would be carried out, Jesus said, "I am thirsty."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 29 A container full of sour wine was placed there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop staff and lifted it up to his mouth.
\v 30 When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was especially important), asked Pilate to break their legs and to remove them.
\v 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
\v 33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
\v 35 The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that what he said is true so that you would also believe.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 36 For these things happened in order to fulfill scripture, "Not one of his bones will be broken."
\v 37 Again, another scripture says, "They will look at him whom they pierced."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
2018-06-25 13:21:03 +00:00
\v 39 Nicodemus also came, he who at first had come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litras.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as was the custom of the Jews to bury bodies.
\v 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb in which no person had yet been buried.
\v 42 Because it was the day of preparation for the Jews and because the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus in it.
2017-07-25 04:37:40 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\c 20
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 1 Now early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb.
\v 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, "They took away the Lord out from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
\s5
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\v 3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and they were going to the tomb.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 4 They both ran together, and the other disciple quickly ran ahead of Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
\v 5 Then stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go inside.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 6 Simon Peter then arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there
\v 7 and the cloth that had been on his head. It was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a place by itself.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 8 Then the other disciple, the one who first arrived at the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed.
2017-09-27 15:50:43 +00:00
\v 9 For until that time they still did not know the scripture that he should rise from the dead.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 10 So the disciples went back home again.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down into the tomb.
\v 12 She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the foot of where the body of Jesus had lain.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 13 They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q She said to them, "Because they took away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 14 When she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?"
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q She thought that he was the gardener, so she said to him, "Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."
\s5
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."
2018-12-03 20:19:07 +00:00
\q She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni" (which is to say "Teacher").
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 17 Jesus said to her, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I will go up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God."
2019-04-03 16:50:28 +00:00
\q
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that he had said these things to her.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them and said to them, "Peace to you."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 21 Jesus then said to them again, "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."
\v 22 When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
\v 23 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven; whoever's sins you keep back, they are kept back."
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\p
\v 24 Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 25 The other disciples later said to him, "We have seen the Lord."
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q He said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 26 After eight days his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came while the doors were closed, and stood among them, and said, "Peace to you."
\v 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger and see my hands. Reach here with your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believe."
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\v 28 Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God."
2019-04-03 16:50:28 +00:00
\q
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and believed."
\s5
\p
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, signs that have not been written in this book,
\v 31 but these have been written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you would have life in his name.
2017-07-27 15:41:03 +00:00
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
\c 21
\p
\v 1 After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is how he revealed himself:
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 2 Simon Peter was together with Thomas called Didymus, Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q They said to him, "We, too, will come with you." They went and got into a boat, but they caught nothing during the whole night.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 4 Now, when it was already early in the morning, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know it was Jesus.
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 5 So Jesus said to them, "Young men, do you have anything to eat?"
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q They answered him, "No."
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 6 He said to them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw their net and were not able to draw it in because of the large number of fish.
\s5
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied up his outer garment (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.
\v 8 The other disciples came in the boat (for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits off), and they were pulling the net full of fish.
\v 9 When they got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire there and fish laid on it, with bread.
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught."
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\v 11 Simon Peter then went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them, but even with so many, the net was not torn.
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\s5
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.
2019-04-03 16:50:28 +00:00
\q
2017-06-23 15:14:15 +00:00
\v 13 Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish also.
\v 14 This was the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he had risen from the dead.
\s5
\p
2019-04-29 18:10:37 +00:00
\v 15 After they ate breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"
2018-05-22 14:50:22 +00:00
\q Peter said to him, "Yes Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
2019-04-03 16:50:28 +00:00
\q

\v 16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
\q Peter said to him, "Yes Lord, you know that I love you."
\q Jesus said to him, "Shepherd my sheep."

\v 17 He said to him a third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"

\q Peter was sorrowful because Jesus had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you."

\q Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
\v 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you become old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you and carry you where you will not want to go."

\v 19 Now Jesus said this in order to indicate with what kind of death Peter would glorify God. After he had said this, he said to Peter, "Follow me."

\v 20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had also leaned back against the side of Jesus at the dinner and who had said, "Lord, who is the one who will betray you?"
\v 21 Peter saw him and then said to Jesus, "Lord, what will this man do?"
\s5
\v 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you? Follow me."

\v 23 So this statement spread among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to Peter that the other disciple would not die, but, "If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you?"

\v 24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
\v 25 There are also many other things that Jesus did. If each one were written down, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
