In The
Beginning was The
WORD, and The WORD
was with God, and The
WORD
was God. 2The
Same was in
The Beginning
with God. 3All
things were made by Him; and without Him
was not any thing made that was made. 4In Him
was Life; and The
Life was The
Light of men. 5And
The Light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended It
not.
6There
was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7The
same came for a witness, to bear witness of The
Light, that all men through him might believe. 8He
was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9That
was the True
Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10He
was
in the world, and the world was made by Him,
and the world knew Him not. 11He came unto His
own, and His own received Him
not. 12But
as many as received Him, to them gave He
authority to become ~ children of God, even to them that believe on His
[Name NM.B->1]:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God. 14And The
WORD became Flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His
Glory, The
Glory as of The
Only Begotten
of The Father, full of Grace
and Truth.
15John
bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He
of Whom I spake, He that
cometh after me is preferred before me: for He
was before me. 16And of His
fulness have all we
received, and Grace for Grace.
17For the law was given by Moses, but
Grace and Truth
came by Jesus
Christ. 18No man hath seen God at any time; The
Only Begotten
Son, which is
in the bosom of The Father, He
hath declared Him.
19And
this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests
and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 20And
he
confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not The
Christ. 21And
they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah?
And he saith, I am not. Art thou the
prophet? And he
answered, No. 22Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that
we may
give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23He
said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
straight the
way of The
Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees. 25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest
thou then, if thou be not The
Christ, nor Elijah, neither the
prophet? 26John answered them, saying, I
baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27He
it is, Who
coming after me is preferred before me, Whose
shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 28These
things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29The
next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold The
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30This
is He of Whom
I said, After me
cometh a Man
which is preferred before me: for He
was before me. 31And I knew Him
not: but that He should be made
manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32And
John bare record, saying, I saw The
Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him.
33And I
knew Him
not: but He
that sent me to baptize with water, the
Same said unto me, Upon Whom
thou shalt see The Spirit descending, and remaining on Him,
the Same is He
which [baptizeth BP->7] with The
Holy Spirit. 34And I saw, and bare record
that This
is [The
Son of God SG->11].
35Again
the next day after John stood, and two of his
disciples; 36And looking upon Jesus as He
walked, he saith,
Behold The
Lamb of God! 37And the two disciples heard him speak, and
they
followed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and
saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto Him,
Rabbi, which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher, where dwellest
thou? 39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw
where He dwelt, and abode with
Him that
day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40One of the two
which heard
John speak, and followed Him,
was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He
first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found The
Messiah, which is, being
interpreted, The Christ. 42And he brought him to
Jesus. And when Jesus
beheld him, He
said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas,
which is by
interpretation, A rock.
43The
day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow Me.
44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of
Andrew and Peter. 45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith
unto him, We
have found Him,
of Whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the
son of
Joseph. 46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good
thing come
out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47Jesus
saw
Nathanael coming to Him, and saith of Him,
Behold, [truly TR->1]
an Israelite in whom is no guile! 48Nathanael saith unto Him,
Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered
and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under
the fig
tree, I saw thee. 49Nathanael answered and saith unto Him,
Rabbi, Thou art [The Son of God SG->12];
Thou art The
King of Israel. 50Jesus
answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under
the fig
tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51And
He saith
unto him, [Amin, Amin AM.B->16],
I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see Heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending
upon The
Son of man.

And the
third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and The
[Mother MR.A->33]
of Jesus was there: 2And both Jesus was called, and his
disciples,
to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, The
[Mother MR.A->34]
of Jesus saith unto Him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith
unto her,
Woman, what is it to me
and to thee? mine hour is not yet
come. 5His [mother MR.A->35]
saith unto the servants, Whatsoever He
saith unto you, do it. 6And there were
set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of
the
Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith
unto
them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim. 8And
He saith
unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And
they bare
it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the
water that
was made wine, and knew not whence it was: but the servants which drew
the
water knew; the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10And
saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine;
and when
men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast
kept the
good wine until now. 11This Beginning
of Miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested forth His Glory;
and His disciples believed
on Him.
12After
this He went down to Capernaum, He,
and His [mother MR.A->36], and His
brethren, and His disciples: and they continued there not many
days.
13And
the Jews’ pascha was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14And
found in The
Temple
those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money
sitting: 15And
when He had
made a scourge of small cords, He
drove them all out of The Temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; 16And said unto
them that
sold doves, Take these things hence; make not My
Father’s House an house of merchandise. 17And His
disciples remembered
that it was written, The zeal of Thine
House hath eaten Me
up.
18Then
answered the Jews and said unto Him,
What sign shewest Thou unto us, seeing
that Thou
doest these things? 19Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy
this Temple,
and in three days I will Raise It
up. 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years
was this Temple
in building, and wilt Thou rear it up in three days? 21But He
spake of The Temple
of His Body.
22When
therefore He
was Risen
from the dead, His disciples remembered that He
had said this unto them; and they
believed The
Scripture,
and The Word
which Jesus had
said.
23Now
when He was in Jerusalem at the pascha, in the feast day, many believed in His
[Name NM.B->2],
when they saw the miracles which He
did. 24But Jesus did not commit Himself
unto them,
because He
knew all men, 25And needed not that any should
testify of
man: for He
knew what was in man.
3 |
There was
a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The
same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him,
Rabbi, we know that Thou art a Teacher
come from God: for no man can do these miracles that
Thou doest,
except God be with Him. 3Jesus answered and said unto
him, [Amin, Amin
AM.B->17], I say unto thee,
Except a man be
born from above, he cannot see The
Kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto
Him, How can a man be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s
womb, and
be born? 5Jesus answered, [Amin, Amin AM.B->18],
I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of The
Spirit, he cannot
enter into The
Kingdom of
God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that
which is
born of The
Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born
from above.
8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the
sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so
is every
one that is born of The Spirit. 9Nicodemus answered and
said unto Him, How can these
things be? 10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and
knowest not these things? 11[Amin, Amin AM.B->19],
I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have
seen; and
ye receive not our witness. 12If I have told you earthly
things, and
ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of Heavenly
Things? 13And
no man hath ascended up to Heaven,
but He that came down from Heaven,
even The Son of man Which
is in Heaven.
14And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must The
Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have Life
Eternal.
16For
God so [Loved AG->1] the world, that He
gave His Only
Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have Life
Eternal. 17For
God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through Him might be saved.
18He
that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in The
[Name NM.B->3 NM.D->26] of The
Only Begotten
[Son of God SG->13].
19And this is the condemnation, that The
Light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than
The Light, because their deeds
were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth The
Light, neither cometh to
The Light,
lest his deeds
should be reproved. 21But he that doeth the
[truth
TR->2] cometh to The
Light, that his works may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22After
these things came Jesus and his disciples into the
land of Judaea; and there He
tarried with them, and [baptized BP->8].
23And
John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 24For
John was not yet cast into prison.
25Then
there arose a question between some of John’s
disciples and the Jews about purifying. 26And they came
unto John,
and said unto him, Rabbi, He
that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest
witness, behold, the same [baptizeth BP->9],
and all men come to Him.
27John answered and said, A man can receive
nothing, except it be given him from Heaven.
28Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I
said, I am not The Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
29He
that hath the bride is The Bridegroom:
but the friend of The Bridegroom,
which standeth and heareth Him,
rejoiceth greatly
because of The
Bridegroom’s
Voice: this
my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30He must increase, but I must
decrease. 31He that cometh from Above
is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and
speaketh of the earth: He that cometh from Heaven
is above all. 32And what He
hath seen and heard,
that He witnesseth; and no man
receiveth His
witness. 33He
that hath received His witness hath set to his seal that God is True.
34For He whom God hath sent
speaketh The
Words of
God: for God giveth not The Spirit by measure unto Him.
35The Father [Loveth AG->2]
The Son,
and hath given all things into His
Hand. 36He that believeth on The
Son hath Life Eternal: and he that
believeth not The Son shall not see Life;
but The Wrath
of God abideth on him.

When
therefore The
[Lord LR.C->34] knew how the
Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and [baptized BP->10]
more disciples than John, 2Though Jesus Himself
[baptized BP->11] not, but His
disciples, 3He left Judaea, and departed
again into Galilee. 4And He
must needs go through Samaria. 5Then cometh He
to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to
his son
Joseph. 6Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being
wearied
with His
journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the
sixth hour. 7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus
saith unto her, Give Me to drink. 8For His
disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat. 9Then
saith the woman of Samaria unto Him,
How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a
woman of
Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10Jesus
answered and said unto her, If thou knewest The
Gift of God, and Who
it is that saith to thee, Give Me
to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of Him, and He
would have given thee Living Water.
11The woman saith unto Him,
[Lord
LR.B->23], Thou
hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from
whence then hast Thou The
Living Water?
12Art Thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well,
and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 13Jesus answered
and said unto
her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14But
whosoever drinketh of The Water
that I shall give him shall never thirst; but The
Water that I shall give
him shall be in him a Well of Water
springing up into Life
Eternal. 15The woman
saith unto Him, [Lord
LR.B->24], give me this water,
that I
thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16Jesus saith unto
her, Go,
call thy husband, and come hither. 17The woman answered and
said, I
have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no
husband: 18For
thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband: in
that saidst thou [truly TR->3].
19The woman saith unto Him,
[Lord LR.B->25],
I perceive that Thou art a prophet. 20Our fathers [worshipped WR->14]
in this mountain; and ye say, that in
27And
upon this came His disciples, and marvelled that He
talked with the
woman: yet no man said, What seekest Thou?
or, Why talkest Thou with her? 28The woman then left
her
waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29Come,
see a Man,
which told me all things that ever I did: is not this The
Christ? 30Then
they went out of the city, and came unto Him.
31In
the mean while His disciples prayed Him,
saying, Rabbi, eat. 32But He
said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33Therefore
said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought Him
ought to eat?
34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do The
Will of Him
that sent Me, and to finish His
work. 35Say
not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?
behold, I
say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are
white
already to harvest. 36And he that reapeth receiveth wages,
and
gathereth fruit unto Life Eternal:
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
rejoice together. 37And herein is that saying [true TR->7], One soweth, and another reapeth. 38I
sent
you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and
ye are
entered into their labours.
39And
many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him
for the word of the woman, which
witnessed,
He told me all that ever I did. 40So when the Samaritans
were come
unto Him,
they besought Him that He
would tarry with them: and He
abode there two days. 41And
many more believed because of His
~ Word; 42And said unto the woman, Now
we believe,
not because of thy saying: for we have heard Him ourselves, and know
that this is indeed The Saviour of the world, The
Christ.
43Now
after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee. 44For
Jesus Himself
testified, that a prophet hath no honour in His
own country. 45Then when He
was come into
Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him,
having seen all the things that He
did at Jerusalem at
the feast: for they also went unto the feast. 46So Jesus
came again
into Cana of Galilee, where He
made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman,
whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47When he heard that Jesus
was come
out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto Him,
and besought Him that He
would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the
point of death. 48Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see
signs and
wonders, ye will not believe. 49The nobleman saith unto Him,
[Lord
LR.B->26], come down before my child die. 50Jesus
saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed The
Word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51And as he was now
going
down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy child liveth. 52Then
enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto
him,
Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53So the
father
knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto
him, Thy
son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54This
is
again the second miracle that Jesus did, when He
was come out of
Judaea into Galilee.
5 |
After this
there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now
there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is
called in the
Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3In these lay
a great
multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the
moving of
the water. 4For an angel went down at a certain season into
the
pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the
water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5And
a
certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6When
Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in
that case,
He saith
unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7The impotent man
answered him, [Lord
LR.B->27], I have no man, when
the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another
steppeth down
before me. 8Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed,
and walk. 9And
immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:
and on the
same day was the sabbath.
10The
Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 11He
answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up
thy bed,
and walk. 12Then asked they him, What man is that which
said unto
thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13And he that was healed
wist not
who it was: for Jesus had conveyed Himself
away, a multitude being in that place. 14Afterward
Jesus findeth him in The Temple,
and said unto Him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more,
lest a worse
thing come unto thee. 15The man departed, and told the Jews
that it
was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16And therefore did
the Jews
persecute Jesus, and sought to slay Him,
because He had done these things on the sabbath day.
17But
Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work. 18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because He not only had broken
the sabbath, but said also that God was His
Father, making Himself equal with God. 19Then
answered Jesus and
said unto them, [Amin, Amin AM.B->20],
I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself,
but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He
doeth, these also
doeth The
Son likewise. 20For The
Father loveth The Son, and sheweth Him
all things that Himself doeth: and He
will shew Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21For
as The
Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so The
Son quickeneth whom He Will. 22For The
Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judgment unto The
Son: 23That all men should honour The
Son, even as they
honour The
Father. He that honoureth not The
Son honoureth not The Father which hath sent Him.
24[Amin, Amin AM.B->21],
I say unto you, He that heareth My
Word, and believeth on Him
that sent Me, hath Life Eternal, and shall not come into condemnation; but is
passed from
death unto the life. 25[Amin, Amin AM.B->22],
I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall
hear The Voice
of [The Son of God SG->14]:
and they that hear shall live. 26For as the Father hath Life
in Himself; so hath He
given to The Son to have Life
in Himself; 27And
hath given Him
authority to execute judgment also, because He
is The Son of man. 28Marvel not at this:
for the
hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His
Voice, 29And
shall come forth; they that have done good, unto The
[Resurrection RS->13]
of Life;
and they that have done evil, unto the [resurrection RS->e1/2] of judgement. 30I can of Mine
own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My
judgment is righteous; because I
seek not mine own Will, but The
Will of The
Father which hath sent Me. 31If I bear witness of Myself,
My witness is not [true TR->8].
32There
is another that beareth witness of Me;
and I know that the
witness which he witnesseth of Me
is [true TR->9].
33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the [truth
TR->10]. 34But I
receive not the witness of man: but these things
I say, that ye might be saved. 35He was a burning and a
shining light:
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36But I
have greater witness than that of John: for
the works which the Father hath given Me
to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me,
that the Father hath
sent Me. 37And
the Father Himself,
which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me.
Ye have neither heard His Voice
at any time, nor seen His shape. 38And ye have not His
Word abiding in you: for
whom He
hath sent, Him
ye believe not.
39Search
The Scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have Life
Eternal: and they are
they which witness of Me.
40And ye will not come to Me,
that ye might have Life. 41I
receive not honour from men. 42But I know you, that ye have
not The [Love AG->e1/2]
of God in you. 43I am come in My
Father’s [Name NM.B->4 NM.D->27], and ye receive Me
not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will
receive. 44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of
another,
and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45Do
not
think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that
accuseth
you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46For had ye
believed
Moses, ye would have believed Me:
for he wrote of Me. 47But if ye believe not his
writings, how
shall ye believe My Words?

After
these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea
of
Tiberias. 2And a great multitude followed Him,
because they saw His miracles which He
did on them that were
diseased. 3And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there He
sat with His disciples. 4And
the pascha,
a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
5When
Jesus then lifted up His Eyes,
and saw a great company come unto Him,
He saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread,
that these
may eat? 6And this He
said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He
would do. 7Philip answered him, Two hundred denari of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8One
of His
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto Him,
9There
is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but
what
are they among so many? 10And Jesus said, Make the men sit
down. Now
there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about
five
thousand. 11And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had
given thanks,
He
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set
down; and
likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12When they
were
filled, he said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that
nothing be lost. 13Therefore they gathered them
together, and
filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves,
which
remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 14Then
those men,
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth
the prophet that should
come into the world.
15When
Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and
take Him by
force, to make Him a king, He
departed again into a mountain Himself
alone. 16And
when even was now come, His
disciples went down unto the sea, 17And
entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
22The
day following, when the people which stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one
whereinto His
disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into
the
boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23Howbeit
there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did
eat
bread, after that The [Lord LR.C->35]
had given thanks: 24When the people therefore saw that
Jesus was not
there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and came
to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25And when they had found Him
on the other side of
the sea, they said unto Him, Rabbi, when camest Thou
hither? 26Jesus answered them and said, [Amin, Amin
AM.B->23], I say unto you, Ye
seek Me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27Labour
not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto
Life Eternal, which The
Son of man shall
give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed. 28Then
said they
unto Him,
What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe
on Him whom He
hath sent. 30They
said therefore unto Him, What sign shewest Thou
then, that we may see, and believe Thee?
what dost Thou work? 31Our
fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them
bread from The Heaven to eat. 32Then
Jesus said unto them, [Amin, Amin AM.B->24],
I say unto you, Moses gave you not The
[Bread EU->11] from The
Heaven; but My
Father giveth you The [True TR->11] [Bread EU->12] from The Heaven. 33For The
[Bread EU->13] of God is He
which cometh down from
The Heaven,
and giveth Life unto the world. 34Then said they
unto Him, [Lord LR.B->28], evermore give us this bread. 35And
Jesus
said unto them, [I AM 'ego
eimi' IA->12] The
[Bread EU->14] of Life:
he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me
shall never thirst. 36But
I said unto you, That ye also have seen Me,
and believe not. 37All that the Father giveth
Me shall
come to Me;
and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. 38For
I came down
from The Heaven, not to do Mine
own Will, but The
Will of Him
that sent Me. 39And
this is the Father’s Will which hath sent Me,
that of all which He hath given Me
I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at The
Last Day.
40And
this is The
Will of Him
that sent Me, that every one which
seeth The
Son, and believeth on Him, may have Life
Eternal: and I will raise him up at The
Last Day.
41The Jews then murmured at Him,
because He said, [I AM
'ego eimi' IA->13]
The [Bread EU->15]
which came down from The
Heaven. 42And they said,
Is not this Jesus, the
son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that He
saith, I came down
from The Heaven?
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not
among
yourselves. 44No man is able to come to Me,
except The Father which hath sent Me
draw him: and I will raise him up at The
Last Day.
45It is
written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of The
Father, cometh unto Me. 46Not that any man hath seen The
Father, save He which is of God, He
hath seen The Father. 47[Amin, Amin
AM.B->25], I say unto you, He
that
believeth on Me
hath Life Eternal. 48[I
AM 'ego eimi' IA->14]
The [Bread EU->16]
of Life. 49Your
fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50This
is The [Bread EU->17]
which cometh down from The
Heaven, that a man may eat thereof,
and not die. 51[I AM
'ego eimi' IA->15]
The Living
[Bread EU->18]
which came down from The
Heaven: if any man eat of This
[Bread EU->19], he shall live for ever: and The
[Bread EU->20]
that I will give is My Flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world. 52The
Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this Man
give us His Flesh
to eat? 53Then Jesus said unto them, [Amin, Amin
AM.B->26], I say unto you, Except
ye eat The Flesh
of The Son of man, and
drink His [Blood BL->10],
ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth My
Flesh, and drinketh My
[Blood BL->11],
hath Life Eternal;
and I will
raise him up at The Last
Day. 55For My
Flesh [truly TR->12] is
meat, and My [Blood BL->12] [truly TR->13]
is drink. 56He
that eateth My
Flesh, and
drinketh My
[Blood BL->13],
dwelleth in Me,
and I in Him.
57As The Living
Father hath sent Me, and I live by The
Father: so he that eateth Me,
even he shall live by Me. 58This is
The [Bread EU->21]
which came down from The
Heaven: not as your fathers did eat
manna, and are dead: he
that eateth of this [Bread EU->22] shall live unto the
ages. 59These things
said He in the synagogue, as
he taught in Capernaum. 60Many therefore of His
disciples, when they
had heard this, said, This is an hard word; who can hear it? 61When Jesus knew
in Himself that His
disciples murmured
at it, He
said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62What and if
ye shall
see The Son
of man ascend up where He was before? 63It is The
Spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: The
Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit,
and they
are Life. 64But
there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the
beginning who
they were that believed not, and who should betray Him.
65And He said, Therefore said
I unto you, that no man can come unto Me,
except it were given unto him of My
Father.
66From
that time many of His
disciples went back,
and walked no more with Him. 67Then said Jesus unto the
[twelve TW->32],
Will ye also go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered Him,
[Lord LM->26 LR.D->22], to whom shall we go? Thou
hast The Words
of Life Eternal.
69And we believe and are sure that Thou
art The Christ, [The Son of The Living
God SG->15]. 70Jesus answered them, Have not
I chosen
you [twelve TW->33], and one of you is a devil? 71He
spake of
Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should
betray Him, being one of the [twelve TW->34].
7 |
After
these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He
would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
2Now the
Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3His brethren
therefore said
unto Him,
Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy
disciples also may see the works that Thou
doest. 4For
there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he
himself
seeketh to be known openly. If Thou
do these things, shew Thyself to the world. 5For neither
did His brethren believe in Him.
6Then
Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway
ready. 7The
world is not able to hate you; but Me
it hateth, because I witness of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8Go
ye
up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for My
time is not yet full
come. 9When He had said these words unto them, He
abode still in
Galilee.
10But
when His brethren were gone up, then went He
also up unto the
feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11Then the
Jews sought Him at the feast, and said,
Where is He?
12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him:
for some said, He
is a Good Man:
others said, Nay;
but He
deceiveth the people. 13Howbeit no man spake openly of Him
for fear of the
Jews.
14Now
about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into The
Temple, and taught. 15And
the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this Man
letters, having never learned? 16Jesus
answered them, and said, My teaching is not Mine,
but His that sent Me.
17If any man will do His
Will, he shall know of
the teaching,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself.
18He
that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but He
that seeketh His Glory
that sent Him, the Same
is [True TR->14],
and no unrighteousness is in Him.
19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet
none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?
20The
people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee?
21Jesus
answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22Moses
therefore gave unto you circumcision; not because it is of Moses, but
of the
fathers; and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23If a
man on
the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not
be
broken; are ye angry at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on
the
sabbath day? 24Judge not according to the appearance, but
judge
righteous judgment. 25Then said some of them of Jerusalem,
Is not
this He,
whom they seek to kill? 26But, lo, He
speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him.
Do the rulers know
indeed that this is truly
The Christ? 27Howbeit we
know this Man whence He
is: but when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence He
is. 28Then cried Jesus in The
Temple as He
taught, saying, Ye
both know Me,
and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of Myself,
but He that sent Me
is [True TR->15], whom ye know not. 29But I know Him:
for I am from Him, and He
hath sent Me. 30Then
they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him,
because His hour was not yet
come. 31And many of the people believed on Him,
and said, When The Christ cometh, will He
do more miracles than
these which this Man hath
done?
32The
Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning Him;
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
33Then
said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then
I go
unto Him
that sent Me.
34Ye shall seek Me,
and shall not find Me: and
where I am, thither
ye cannot come. 35Then said the Jews among themselves,
Whither will He go, that we shall not
find Him?
will He go
unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36What
manner of saying is this that He
said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither
ye cannot come? 37In the last day, that great day
of the
feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come
unto Me, and drink. 38He
that believeth on Me, as The
Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of
living water. 39But this spake He
of The Spirit, which they that believe on Him
should receive: for The Holy Spirit was not
yet given; because that Jesus was not yet Glorified.
40Many
of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,
said, Of a truth this is The Prophet. 41Others said, This is The
Christ. But some
said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42Hath not The
Scripture said, That
Christ cometh of The Seed
of [David DV->39], and out of the town of Bethlehem, where [David DV->40]
was? 43So there was a division among the people because of Him.
44And
some of them would have taken Him;
but no man laid hands on Him.
45Then
came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees;
and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him?
46The officers
answered, Never man spake like this Man.
47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye
also deceived? 48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees
believed
on Him? 49But
this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50Nicodemus
saith
unto them, he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, 51Doth
our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he
doeth? 52They
answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look:
for out
of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53And every man went unto
his own
house.
8 |
Jesus went
unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning He
came again into The Temple,
and all the
people came unto Him; and He
sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes
and Pharisees brought unto Him
a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in
the midst, 4They say unto Him,
Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very
act. 5Now
Moses in The
Law
commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?
6This
they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him.
But Jesus stooped
down, and with His finger
wrote on the
ground, as though He
heard them not. 7So when they continued asking Him,
He lifted up Himself,
and said unto
them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at
her. 8And
again He
stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which
heard it,
being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,
beginning
at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone,
and the
woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had lifted up Himself,
and saw none
but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine
accusers?
hath no man condemned thee? 11She said, No man, [Lord LR.B->29]. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
condemn thee:
go, and sin no more.
12Then
spake Jesus again unto them, saying, [I
AM 'ego eimi' IA->16]
The Light
of the world: he
that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
Light of Life.
13The
Pharisees therefore said unto Him,
Thou bearest witness of Thyself;
Thy witness is not true. 14Jesus answered and
said unto
them, Though I bear witness of Myself,
yet My witness is [True TR->16]: for I know whence I came, and whither I go;
but ye
cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15Ye judge
after the
flesh; I judge no man. 16And yet if I judge, My
judgment is [True TR->17]:
for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent Me.
17It is
also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is [true TR->18]. 18[I AM
'ego eimi' IA->17] One
that bear witness of
Myself, and
the Father that sent Me beareth witness of me. 19Then said
they unto Him, Where is Thy
Father? Jesus
answered, Ye neither know Me,
nor My Father: if ye had known Me,
ye should have known My Father also. 20These words spake
Jesus in the
treasury, as He taught in The
Temple: and no man laid hands on Him;
for His hour was not yet
come. 21Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My
way, and ye shall
seek Me,
and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22Then
said the Jews, Will He kill Himself?
because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23And
He said unto them, Ye
are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of
this
world. 24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in
your sins:
for if ye believe not that [I AM
'ego
eimi' IA->18] ~, ye
shall die in your sins. 25Then said they
unto Him,
Who art Thou?
And Jesus saith unto them, Even The
Same that
I said unto
you from The
Beginning. 26I
have many things to say and to judge of you: but He
that sent Me is [True TR->19];
and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him.
27They
understood not that He spake to them of The
Father. 28Then said Jesus unto them, When ye
have lifted up The Son of man, then shall ye know that [I AM 'ego eimi' IA->19]
~, and that
I do nothing of Myself; but as My
Father hath taught Me, I speak these
things. 29And He
that sent Me is with Me:
The Father hath not left Me
alone; for I do always those things that please Him.
30As He spake these Words,
many believed on Him. 31Then
said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him,
If ye continue in My Word, then are ye [truly TR->20]
My disciples; 32And
ye shall know The [Truth TR->21], and The
[Truth TR->22] shall make you free.
33They
answered Him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in
bondage to any
man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? 34Jesus
answered
them, [Amin, Amin AM.B->27],
I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And
the servant abideth not in the house unto
the age: but The
Son abideth unto the age. 36If
The Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37I
know
that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill Me,
because My Word hath no place in you. 38I speak
that which I
have seen with My Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with
your
father. 39They answered and said unto Him,
Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works
of
Abraham. 40But now ye seek to kill Me,
a Man that hath told you The
[Truth TR->23], which I have heard of God: this did not
Abraham. 41Ye
do the deeds of your father. Then said they to Him,
We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even
God. 42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye
would [love AG->3] Me:
for I Proceeded forth
and came from God; neither came I of Myself,
but He sent Me.
43Why do
ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My
Word. 44Ye
are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in The
[Truth TR->24],
because there is no [truth TR->25]
in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and
the father of it. 45And because I tell you The
[Truth TR->26],
ye believe Me
not. 46Which of you convinceth Me
of sin? And if I say The [Truth TR->27], why do ye not believe Me?
47He that is of God heareth God’s Words:
ye therefore hear
them not, because ye are not of God. 48Then answered
the
Jews, and said unto Him, Say we not well that Thou
art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49Jesus
answered, I have not a devil; but I honour My
Father, and ye do dishonour Me.
50And I
seek not Mine
own Glory:
there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51[Amin, Amin
AM.B->28], I say unto you, If a
man keep My Word, he shall never see
death. 52Then said the Jews unto Him,
Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead,
and the prophets; and Thou sayest, If a man keep My
Word, he shall never taste of death. 53Art
Thou greater than our
father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest Thou
Thyself? 54Jesus
answered, If I honour Myself, My
honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me;
of whom ye say, that He is your God: 55Yet ye have not
known Him; but I know Him:
and if I should
say, I know Him
not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him,
and keep His Word. 56Your
father Abraham rejoiced to see My
day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57Then
said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou
seen Abraham? 58Jesus
said unto them, [Amin, Amin AM.B->29],
I say unto you, Before Abraham was, [I
AM
'ego eimi' IA->20]. 59Then
took they up stones to cast at Him:
but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of The
Temple, going through the midst of them, and so
passed by.
9 |
And as Jesus
passed by, He
saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2And His
disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this
man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3Jesus
answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of
God should
be made manifest in him. 4I must work the works of Him
that sent Me, while it is day: the
night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the
world, I
am The Light
of the world. 6When
He had thus
spoken, He
spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and He
anointed the eyes of
the blind man with the clay, 7And said unto Him,
Go, wash in the
pool of Siloam, which is by interpretation, Sent. He went his way
therefore,
and washed, and came seeing.
8The
neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen
him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9Some
said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
said, I am he.
10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes
opened? 11He
answered and said, A Man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed
mine eyes,
and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and
washed,
and I received sight. 12Then said they unto him, Where is He?
He said, I know not.
13They
brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
opened
his eyes. 15Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he
had
received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and
I
washed, and do see. 16Therefore said some of the Pharisees,
This Man is not of God,
because He
keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a Man
that is a sinner do
such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17They
say unto
the blind man again, What sayest thou of Him,
that He hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a Prophet.
18But
the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and
received
his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his
sight. 19And
they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?
how then
doth he now see? 20His parents answered them and said, We
know that
this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21But by what
means he
now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is
of age;
ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22These words
spake his
parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already,
that if
any man did confess that He was Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue. 23Therefore
said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24Then again
called they
the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the Glory: we know that this
Man is a sinner.
25He answered and said, Whether He
be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know,
that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26Then said they to
him again,
What did He
to thee? how opened He thine eyes? 27He answered them, I
have told
you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it
again? will
ye also be His
disciples? 28Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art His
disciple; but we are
Moses’ disciples. 29We know that God spake unto Moses: as
for
this One, we know
not from whence He is. 30The man answered and said
unto them, Why
herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He
is, and yet He hath opened mine
eyes. 31Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if
any man be reverences God, and
doeth His Will,
Him He
heareth. 32Since
the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one
that was
born blind. 33If this Man
were not of God, He could do nothing. 34They answered
and said
unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
And they
cast him out. 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and
when He had found him, He
said unto him, Dost
thou believe on [The Son of God
SG->16]? 36He
answered and said,
Who is He, [Lord LR.B->30], that I might believe on Him?
37And Jesus said unto
him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He
that talketh with thee. 38And he said, [Lord LR.B->31], I believe. And he [worshipped WR->24] Him.
39And
Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world,
that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
made blind.
40And some of the Pharisees which were with Him
heard these Words, and said unto Him,
Are we blind also? 41Jesus
said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye
say, We
see; therefore your sin remaineth.
10 |
[Amin, Amin AM.B->30], I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into
the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and
a
robber. 2But he that entereth in by the door is The
Shepherd of the sheep. 3To
Him the
porter openeth; and The Sheep
hear His Voice:
and He calleth His
own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4And
when He
putteth forth His own sheep, He
goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him:
for they know His Voice.
5And a
stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know
not the
voice of strangers. 6This parable spake Jesus unto them:
but they
understood not what things they were which He
spake unto them. 7Then said Jesus unto them
again, [Amin, Amin AM.B->31],
I say unto you, [I AM 'ego
eimi' IA->21] The
Door of the sheep. 8All that ever
came before Me are thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9[I AM 'ego eimi' IA->22]
The Door:
by Me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly. 11[I AM
'ego eimi' IA->23]
The Good
Shepherd: The
Good Shepherd
giveth His Life
for the sheep. 12But
he that is an hireling, and not The
Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf
coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them,
and
scattereth the sheep. 13The hireling fleeth, because he is
an
hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14[I AM 'ego eimi' IA->24]
The Good
Shepherd, and know My
sheep, and am
known of Mine.
15As The Father knoweth Me,
even so know I The Father: and I lay down My
Life for the sheep. 16And other sheep
I have,
which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear
My Voice; and there shall
be one fold, and One Shepherd.
17Therefore doth My
Father [love AG->4]
Me, because
I lay down My
Life, that
I might take It again. 18No man taketh It
from Me, but I lay It
down of Myself. I have authority to lay It
down, and I have authority to take It
again. This Commandment have I received of My
Father.
19There
was a division therefore again among the Jews for
these Words.
20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why
hear ye Him? 21Others
said, These are not The Words
of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of
the blind?
22And
it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
was winter. 23And Jesus walked in The
Temple in Solomon’s porch. 24Then
came the Jews
round about Him,
and said unto Him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou
be The Christ, tell us
plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not: the
works that I do in My Father’s [Name NM.B->5 NM.D->28], they bear witness of Me.
26But ye believe not, because ye are not of My
sheep, as I said unto
you. 27My sheep hear My
Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me:
28And I
give unto them Life Eternal;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man
pluck them out of My Hand. 29My Father, which gave them
Me, is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them out of My
Father’s Hand. 30I and
My Father
are One. 31Then the Jews took up stones
again to
stone Him. 32Jesus
answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from My
Father; for which of
those works do ye stone Me? 33The Jews answered Him,
saying, For a good work
we stone Thee
not; but for blasphemy; and because that Thou,
being a Man, makest Thyself
God. 34Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35If he called
them gods,
unto whom The
Word of God
came, and The
Scripture
cannot be broken; 36Say ye of Him,
whom The Father hath sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou
blasphemest; because I said, I am [The Son of God
SG->17]? 37If I do
not the works
of My
Father, believe Me not. 38But if I do, though ye
believe not Me, believe the works:
that ye may know, and believe, that The
Father is in Me, and I in Him.
39Therefore they sought again to take Him:
but He escaped out of their
hand, 40And went away again beyond Jordan into the place
where John
at first baptized; and there He
abode. 41And many resorted unto Him,
and said, John did
no miracle: but all things that John spake of this Man
were true. 42And
many believed on Him there.
11 |
Now a
certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
town of Mary
and her sister Martha. 2It was that Mary which
anointed The [Lord LR.C->36] with ointment, and wiped His
Feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was
sick. 3Therefore
his sisters sent unto Him, saying, [Lord LR.B->32],
behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick. 4When Jesus
heard that,
He said,
This sickness is not unto death, but for The
Glory of God, that [The Son of God
SG->18] might be Glorified
thereby. 5Now
Jesus [loved AG->5] Martha, and her
sister, and Lazarus. 6When He
had heard therefore that he was sick, He
abode two days still
in the same place where He was. 7Then after that saith He
to His
disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 8His
disciples say unto Him, Rabbi, the Jews of late sought to stone Thee;
and goest Thou thither again? 9Jesus
answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the
day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10But
if a
man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11These
things said He:
and after that He saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
but I go,
that I may awake him out of sleep. 12Then said His
disciples, [Lord LM->27 LR.D->23], if he sleep, he shall do well. 13Howbeit
Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that He
had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14Then
said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15And I am
glad for
your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe;
nevertheless let
us go unto him. 16Then said Thomas, which is called
Didymus, unto
his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17Then
when Jesus came, He found that he had lain in the grave
four days
already. 18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about
fifteen
furlongs off: 19And many of the Jews came to Martha and
Mary, to
comfort them concerning their brother. 20Then Martha, as
soon as she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him:
but Mary sat still in the house. 21Then
said Martha unto Jesus, [Lord LR.B->33],
if Thou
hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22But I know,
that even
now, whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God will give it Thee.
23Jesus
saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24Martha
saith unto Him, I know that he
shall rise again in The [Resurrection
RS->14] at The
Last Day.
25Jesus said unto her, [I AM
'ego eimi' IA->25]
The [Resurrection RS->15],
and The Life:
he that believeth
in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever
liveth and
believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27She
saith unto Him, Yea, [Lord LR.B->34]: I believe that Thou
art The Christ, [The Son of God
SG->19], which should come into
the world. 28And
when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly,
saying, The Teacher is come, and calleth for thee. 29As
soon as she
heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto Him.
30Now
Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where
Martha met Him. 31The
Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when
they saw
Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She
goeth
unto the grave to weep there. 32Then when Mary was come
where Jesus
was, and saw Him, she fell down at His
Feet, saying unto Him,
[Lord LR.B->35],
if Thou
hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33When Jesus
therefore saw
her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He
groaned in The Spirit,
and was
troubled, 34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said
unto Him, [Lord LR.B->36], come and see. 35Jesus wept. 36Then
said the Jews, Behold how He
loved him! 37And some of them said, Could not
this Man,
which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man
should not
have died? 38Jesus therefore again groaning in Himself
cometh to the
grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39Jesus
said, Take ye
away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto Him,
[Lord LR.B->37], by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
four days. 40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee,
that, if
thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see The
Glory of God? 41Then they took away
the stone from
the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His Eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee
that Thou hast heard Me.
42And I
knew that Thou
hearest Me
always: but because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they
may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
43And when He thus had spoken, He
cried with a loud Voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44And he
that was
dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face
was bound
about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45Then
many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did,
believed on Him.
46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and
told them
what things Jesus had done.
47Then
gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a
council, and said, What do we? for this Man
doeth many miracles. 48If we let Him
thus alone, all men
will believe on Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both
our place
and nation. 49And one of them, named Caiaphas,
being the high
priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50Nor
consider that it is expedient for us, that one Man
should die for the people, and that the whole nation
perish not. 51And this spake he not of himself: but being
high priest
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52And
not for that nation only, but that also He
should gather together in one the children of God that
were scattered abroad. 53Then from that day forth they took
counsel
together for to put Him to death. 54Jesus therefore
walked no more
openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the
wilderness,
into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with His
disciples.
55And
the pascha of the Jews was nigh at hand: and many went out of
the
country up to Jerusalem before the pascha,
to purify themselves. 56Then sought they for
Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in The
Temple, What think ye,
that He
will not come to the feast? 57Now both the chief priests
and the
Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where He
were, he should shew it,
that they might take Him.
12 |
Then Jesus
six days before the pascha came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had
been dead,
whom He
raised from the dead. 2There they made Him
a supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him.
3Then
took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed
the Feet of Jesus, and wiped
His Feet
with her hair: and
the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4Then
saith one
of His
disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray Him,
5Why was
not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6This
he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief,
and had
the bag, and bare what was put therein. 7Then said Jesus,
Let her
alone: against the day of My
Burying hath she kept this. 8For the
poor always
ye have with you; but Me ye have not always. 9Much people
of the Jews
therefore knew that He was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake
only, but
that they might see Lazarus also, whom He
had raised from the dead.
10But
the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
also to death; 11Because that by reason of him many of the
Jews went
away, and believed on Jesus.
12On
the next day much people that were come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13Took
branches
of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him,
and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is The
King of Israel that
cometh in The
[Name NM.B->6]
of The
Lord. 14And Jesus, when He
had found a young donkey, sat thereon; as it is written, 15Fear
not,
daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on a donkey’s colt. 16These
things understood not His disciples at the first: but when Jesus was Glorified,
then
remembered they that these things were written of Him,
and that
they had done these things unto Him.
17The people therefore that was with Him
when He called Lazarus out of
his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare witness. 18For this cause the people also
met Him, for that they heard
that He had
done this miracle. 19The Pharisees therefore said among
themselves,
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after Him.
20And
there were certain Greeks among them that came up to [worship WR->25]
at the feast: 21The same came therefore to Philip, which
was of
Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, lord, we would see Jesus. 22Philip
cometh and
telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23And
Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that The
Son of man should be
Glorified. 24[Amin, Amin
AM.B->32], I say unto you, Except
a corn of
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit. 25He that loveth his life shall
lose it;
and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto Life
Eternal. 26If
any man serve Me, let him follow Me;
and where I am, there shall also My
servant be: if any
man serve Me,
him will My Father
honour. 27Now is My
Soul troubled; and what
shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I
unto
this hour. 28Father, Glorify
Thy [Name NM.B->7 NM.D->29]. Then came there a Voice
from Heaven, saying, I have both Glorified
It, and
will Glorify It again. 29The
people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered:
others said, An angel spake to Him.
30Jesus answered and said, This Voice
came not because
of Me, but
for your sakes. 31Now is The
Judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
this world
be cast out. 32And I, if I be Lifted
Up from the earth, will draw all men unto
Me. 33This He
said, signifying what
Death He
should Die. 34The
people answered Him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth unto the age: and how
sayest Thou,
The Son of man must be Lifted Up?
who is The Son of man? 35Then Jesus said unto
them, Yet a
little while is The Light
with you. Walk while ye have The
Light, lest darkness
come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he
goeth. 36While
ye have The Light,
believe in The
Light, that
ye may be the sons of Light.
These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide Himself
from them.
37But
though He had done so many miracles before them, yet
they believed
not on Him:
38That the word of Isaiah
the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who
hath believed our report? and to whom hath The
Arm of The
Lord been revealed? 39Therefore they could
not believe, because that Isaiah
said again, 40He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes,
nor
understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should Heal
them. 41These
things said Isaiah,
when he saw His Glory,
and spake of Him.
42Nevertheless
among the chief rulers also many believed on Him;
but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should
be put out of the synagogue: 43For they loved the glory of men more than The
Glory of God.
44Jesus
cried and said, He that believeth on Me,
believeth not on Me, but on Him
that sent Me. 45And he
that seeth Me
seeth Him
that sent Me.
46I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
Me should not abide in
darkness. 47And if any man hear My
Words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I
came not to
judge the world, but to save the world. 48He that rejecteth
Me, and receiveth not My
Words, hath one that
judgeth him: The Word
that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in The
Last Day.
49For I have not spoken of Myself;
but The Father which sent Me,
He gave Me
a Commandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that His
Commandment is Life
Eternal: whatsoever I
speak therefore, even as The Father said unto Me,
so I speak.
13 |
Now before
the feast of the pascha, when Jesus knew that His
Hour was come that He
should depart out of this world unto The
Father, having [loved AG->6] His
own which were in the world, He
[loved AG->7] them unto the end. 2And Supper
being ended, the
devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son,
to
betray Him;
3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His
Hands, and that He
was come from God,
and went to God; 4He riseth from Supper,
and laid aside His garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself.
5After
that He
poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and
to wipe them
with the towel wherewith He was girded. 6Then cometh He
to Simon Peter: and
Peter saith unto Him, [Lord LM->28
LR.D->24], dost thou wash my feet? 7Jesus
answered and
said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know
hereafter. 8Peter
saith unto Him,
Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not,
thou
hast no part with Me. 9Simon Peter saith unto Him,
[Lord LM->29 LR.D->25], not my feet only, but also my hands
and my
head. 10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not
save to
wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but
not all. 11For
He knew who
should betray Him; therefore said He,
Ye are not all clean. 12So after He
had washed their
feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down again, He
said unto them, Know
ye what I have done to you? 13Ye call Me
Teacher and [Lord LR.D->26]:
and ye say well; for so I am. 14If I then, your
Lord and Teacher, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15For
I have
given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16[Amin, Amin AM.B->33], I say unto you, The servant is not greater
than his Lord; neither he that is
sent greater than He that sent him. 17If ye know these
things, blessed are ye if ye do
them.
18I
speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
The Scripture
may be
fulfilled, He that eateth bread with Me
hath lifted up his heel against Me.
19Now I
tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe
that [I AM
'ego eimi' IA->26]
~. 20[Amin, Amin
AM.B->34], I say unto you, He
that
receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me;
and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him
that sent Me. 21When Jesus had thus said, He
was troubled in Spirit, and witnessed, and said, [Amin, Amin
AM.B->35], I say unto you, that
one of you
shall betray Me. 22Then the disciples looked one
on another, doubting of
whom He
spake. 23Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His
disciples, whom
Jesus [loved AG->8]. 24Simon Peter
therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom He
spake. 25He
then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto Him,
[Lord LM->30
LR.D->27], who is it? 26Jesus answered, He
it is, to
whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when He
had dipped the sop, He gave it to
Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27And after the
sop Satan
entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do
quickly. 28Now
no man at the table knew for what intent He
spake this unto him. 29For some of them
thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those
things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should
give
something to the poor. 30He then having received the sop
went
immediately out: and it was night.
31Therefore,
when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is The
Son of man Glorified, and God is Glorified
in Him. 32If God
be Glorified
in Him, God
shall also Glorify
Him in Himself,
and shall
straightway glorify Him. 33Little children, yet a little
while I am
with you. Ye shall seek Me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot
come; so now I say to you. 34A New
Commandment I give unto you, That ye [love AG->9] one another; as I have [Loved AG->10]
you, that ye also [love AG->11]
one another. 35By this shall all men know that ye
are My disciples, if ye have
[love AG->12] one to another.
36Simon
Peter said unto Him, [Lord LM->31
LR.D->28], whither goest Thou?
Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not
follow Me
now; but thou shalt follow Me
afterwards. 37Peter said unto Him,
[Lord LM->32 LR.D->29], why cannot I follow Thee
now? I will lay down my life for Thee ~. 38Jesus
answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for Me?
[Amin, Amin AM.B->36],
I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied Me thrice.
14 |
Let not
your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
2In My Father’s House
are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for
you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again,
and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also. 4And
whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5Thomas saith
unto Him, [Lord LM->33 LR.D->30], we know not whither Thou
goest; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus
saith unto Him,
[I AM 'ego eimi' IA->27] The
Way, The
[Truth TR->28], and The
Life: no man cometh unto The
Father, but by Me. 7If ye had known Me,
ye should have known
My Father
also: and from henceforth ye know Him,
and have seen Him. 8Philip saith unto Him,
[Lord LM->34 LR.D->31], shew us The
Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith
unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not
known Me, Philip? he that hath
seen Me
hath seen The
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us The
Father? 10Believest
thou not that I am in The Father, and the Father in Me?
The Words
that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself:
but The Father that dwelleth
in Me, He
doeth the works. 11Believe
Me that I am
in The
Father, and The
Father in Me:
or else believe Me for the very works. 12[Amin, Amin
AM.B->37], I say unto you, He
that
believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto My
Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in My
[Name NM.B->8
NM.D->30], that will I do, that The
Father may be Glorified in The
Son. 14If ye shall ask any thing in My
[Name NM.B->9
NM.D->31], I will do it.
15If ye
[love AG->13]
Me, keep My
Commandments. 16And
I will pray the Father, and He
shall give you another Comforter, that He
may abide with you unto
the age; 17Even
The Spirit
of The [Truth TR->29];
whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him
not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him;
for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a
little
while, and the world seeth Me
no more; but ye see Me: because I Live,
ye shall live also. 20At that day ye shall
know that I am in My
Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. 21He that hath My
Commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that [loveth AG->14]
Me: and he
that [loveth AG->15] Me
shall be [loved AG->16]
of My
Father, and I will [love AG->17]
him, and will manifest Myself to him. 22Judas saith unto Him,
not Iscariot, [Lord LM->35 LR.D->32], how is it that Thou
wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man [love AG->18]
Me, he will
keep My Words: and My
Father will [love AG->19] him, and WE
will come unto him, and make OUR
abode with him. 24He
that [loveth AG->e2/2] Me not keepeth not My
Words: and The
Word which ye hear is
not Mine,
but The
Father’s which sent Me. 25These things have I spoken unto
you, being yet
present with you. 26But The
Comforter, which is The
Holy Spirit, whom The Father will send in My
[Name NM.B->10
NM.D->32], He
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27Peace I
leave with
you, My Peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled,
neither let it be afraid. 28Ye have heard how I said unto
you, I go
away, and come again unto you. If ye [loved AG->20]
Me, ye
would rejoice, because I said, I go unto The
Father: for My Father is greater than I. 29And
now I have
told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye
might
believe. 30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the
prince
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me.
31But that the world may know that I [Love AG->21]
The Father;
and as The
Father gave Me
Commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
15 |
[I AM
'ego eimi' IA->28]
The [True TR->30]
Vine, and My
Father is The Husbandman.
2Every
branch in Me
that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that
beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it
may bring forth more fruit. 3Now ye are clean through The
Word which I have spoken
unto you. 4Abide in Me,
and I in You. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it
abide in The
Vine; no
more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
5[I AM
'ego eimi' IA->29] The
Vine, ye are the
branches: He that abideth in Me,
and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without Me ye can do nothing. 6If
a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men
gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If
ye abide in Me,
and My Words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8Herein
is My Father Glorified,
that ye bear
much fruit; so shall ye be My
disciples. 9As the Father hath [Loved AG->22]
Me, so have
I [Loved AG->23]
you: continue ye in My [Love AG->24]. 10If ye keep My
Commandments, ye shall abide in My
[Love AG->25];
even as I have kept My Father’s Commandments,
and abide in His [Love AG->26]. 11These things have I spoken
unto you, that
My joy
might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12This
is My Commandment, That ye [love AG->27] one another, as I have [Loved AG->28]
you. 13Greater [love AG->29]
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye
are My
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you. 15Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord
doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things
that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. 16Ye
have
not chosen Me,
but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth
fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye
shall ask
of The
Father in My
[Name NM.B->11
NM.D->33], He
may give it you. 17These things I command you,
that ye [love AG->30] one another. 18If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me
before it hated you. 19If
ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are
not of
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world
hateth
you. 20Remember The
Word that I said unto you, The servant is not
greater than
his Lord.
If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have
kept My Word, they will keep
yours also. 21But all these things will they do unto you
for My [Name NM.B->12
NM.D->34], because they know not Him
that sent Me. 22If I had not come and spoken
unto them,
they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 23He
that hateth Me
hateth My
Father also. 24If I had not done among them the works which
none
other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and
hated both
Me and My
Father. 25But
this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is
written in
their law, They hated Me without a cause. 26But when The
Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even The Spirit of The [Truth TR->31], Which
Proceedeth from the Father, He
shall witness
concerning Me:
27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye
have been with Me from the beginning.
16 |
These
things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2They
shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever
killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3And
these things
will they do unto you, because they have not known The
Father, nor Me. 4But
these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may
remember
that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the
beginning,
because I was with you. 5But now I go my way to Him
that sent Me; and none of you
asketh Me,
Whither goest Thou? 6But because I have said these
things unto
you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7Nevertheless I tell
you the [truth
TR->32]; It is expedient for you
that I go
away: for if I go not away, The
Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I
will send Him
unto you. 8And when He
is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and
of judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on Me;
10Of
righteousness, because I go to My
Father, and ye see Me no more; 11Of judgment, because
the prince of
this world is judged. 12I have yet many things to say unto
you, but
ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit when He,
The Spirit of The [Truth TR->33],
is come, He
will guide you into all [Truth TR->34]: for He
shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He
shall hear, that shall He
speak: and He will shew you things
to come. 14He shall Glorify
Me: for He
shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15All
things that The
Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He
shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16A
little while, and ye shall not see Me:
and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me,
because I go to The Father. 17Then
said some of His disciples among themselves, What is this that
He saith unto us, A
little while, and ye shall not see Me:
and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me:
and, Because I go to
The Father?
18They said therefore, What is this that He
saith, A little
while? we cannot tell what He
saith. 19Now Jesus knew that they were
desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among
yourselves of
that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see Me:
and again, a little
while, and ye shall see Me? 20[Amin, Amin AM.B->38],
I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall
rejoice: and
ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21A
woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but
as soon
as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish,
for joy
that a man is born into the world. 22And ye now therefore
have
sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and
your joy no
man taketh from you. 23And in that day ye shall ask me
nothing. [Amin, Amin
AM.B->39], I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in My [Name NM.B->13 NM.D->35], He
will give it you. 24Hitherto have ye
asked nothing in My [Name NM.B->14 NM.D->36]: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy
may be full. 25These
things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I
shall no
more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of The
Father. 26At
that day ye shall ask in My [Name NM.B->15 NM.D->37]: and I say not unto you, that I will pray The
Father for you: 27For
The Father Himself
loveth you,
because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 28I
came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave
the
world, and go to The Father. 29His disciples said unto
Him, Lo, now speakest Thou
plainly, and
speakest no proverb. 30Now are we sure that Thou
knowest all things,
and needest not that any man should ask Thee:
by this we believe that Thou camest forth from God. 31Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe? 32Behold, the hour
cometh, yea, is
now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall
leave Me alone: and yet I am
not alone, because The Father is with Me.
33These things I have spoken unto you, that
in Me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
17 |
These
words spake Jesus, and lifted up His
Eyes to Heaven,
and said, Father, the hour is come; Glorify
Thy Son, that Thy
Son also may Glorify Thee:
2As Thou hast given Him
authority over all
flesh, that He
should give to as many as Thou
hast given Him Life
Eternal. 3And this is Life
Eternal, that they might
know Thee
the only [True TR->35] God, and Jesus Christ, Whom
Thou hast sent. 4I have glorified Thee
on the earth: I
have finished the work which Thou
gavest Me to do. 5And now, O Father, Glorify
Thou Me
with Thine Own
Self with The
Glory which I had with Thee
before the world
was. 6I have manifested Thy
[Name NM.B->16 NM.D->38] unto the men which Thou
gavest Me out of the world: Thine
they were, and Thou gavest them Me;
and they have kept Thy Word.
7Now they have known that all things
whatsoever Thou
hast given Me
are of Thee.
8For I have given unto them The
Words which Thou
gavest Me; and they have received them, and have
known [truly
TR->36] that I came out from Thee,
and they have
believed that thou didst send Me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
but for them which Thou hast given Me;
for they are Thine. 10And all Mine
are Thine, and Thine
are Mine; and I am Glorified
in them. 11And now I am no more in the
world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee.
Holy Father, keep through Thine
own [Name NM.B->17
NM.D->39] those whom Thou
hast given Me, that they may be one, as WE
are. 12While I was with them in the
world, I kept them in Thy [Name NM.B->18 NM.D->40]: those that Thou
gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the
son of
perdition; that The Scripture
might be fulfilled. 13And now come I to
Thee; and
these things I speak in the world, that they might have My
joy fulfilled in
themselves. 14I have given them Thy
Word; and the world hath hated them, because they
are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I pray not that
Thou shouldest take them
out of the world, but that Thou
shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They
are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify
them
through Thy
[Truth TR->37]:
Thy Word
is [Truth TR->38].
18As thou hast sent Me
into the world, even so have I also sent them into the
world. 19And for their sakes I sanctify Myself,
that they also
might be sanctified through the [Truth TR->39]. 20Neither pray I for these
alone, but for
them also which shall believe on Me
through their word; 21That they all may be
one; as Thou,
Father, art in Me, and I in Thee,
that they also may be one in Us:
that the world may
believe that Thou hast sent Me.
22And The Glory
which Thou gavest Me
I have given them; that they may be one, even as We
are One: 23I in
them, and Thou
in Me, that
they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou
hast sent Me, and hast [Loved AG->31]
them, as Thou
hast [Loved AG->32]
Me. 24Father,
I will that they also, whom Thou
hast given Me, be with Me
where I am; that they may behold My
Glory, which Thou
hast given Me: for Thou
[Lovedst AG->33]
Me before
the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the
world hath not
known Thee:
but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou
hast sent Me. 26And I
have declared unto them Thy [Name NM.B->19 NM.D->41], and will declare it: that the [Love AG->34]
wherewith Thou
hast [Loved AG->35]
Me may be
in them, and I in them.

When Jesus
had spoken these Words, He
went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a
garden,
into the which He entered, and His
disciples. 2And Judas also, which betrayed Him,
knew the place: for
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with His
disciples. 3Judas then, having received a
band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh
thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Jesus
therefore,
knowing all things that should come upon Him,
went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5They
answered Him,
Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, [I AM
'ego eimi' IA->30] ~. And Judas also, which betrayed Him,
stood with them. 6As
soon then as He had said unto them, [I AM 'ego
eimi' IA->31] ~, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7Then
asked He
them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8Jesus
answered, I have told you that [I AM
'ego
eimi' IA->32] ~:
if therefore ye seek Me, let these go their
way: 9That the saying might be fulfilled, which He
spake, Of them which
thou gavest Me
have I lost none. 10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew
it, and
smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The
servant’s name
was Malchus. 11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword
into the
sheath: the cup which My Father hath given Me,
shall I not drink it? 12Then the band and the
captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him,
13And
led Him
away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was
the high
priest that same year. 14Now Caiaphas was he, which gave
counsel to
the Jews, that it was expedient that one Man
should die for the people.
15And
Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another
disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in
with Jesus
into the palace of the high priest. 16But Peter stood at
the door
without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the
high
priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17Then
saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one
of
this Man’s
disciples? He saith, I am not. 18And the servants and
officers stood
there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed
themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19The
high priest then asked Jesus of His
disciples, and of His teaching. 20Jesus
answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the
synagogue, and
in The Temple,
whither the Jews
always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 21Why
askest thou Me? ask them which heard
Me, what I
have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 22And
when He had thus spoken, one
of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand,
saying,
Answerest Thou
the high priest so? 23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken
evil,
bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou Me?
24Now
Annas had sent Him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. 25And
Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art
not
thou also one of His disciples? He denied it, and said, I
am not. 26One
of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear
Peter
cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him?
27Peter
then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28Then
led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of
judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
judgment
hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha.
29Pilate
then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against
this Man? 30They answered
and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have
delivered Him up unto thee. 31Then
said Pilate unto them, Take ye Him,
and judge Him according to your law. The Jews therefore
said unto Him, It is not lawful
for us to put any man to death: 32That the saying of Jesus
might be
fulfilled, which He spake, signifying what death He
should die. 33Then
Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said
unto Him, Art Thou
The King of the Jews? 34Jesus
answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it
thee of Me? 35Pilate
answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have
delivered Thee unto me: what hast Thou
done? 36Jesus
answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if My
Kingdom were of this world, then would My
servants fight, that
I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is My
Kingdom not from hence. 37Pilate
therefore said unto Him, Art Thou
a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am
a King. To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear
witness unto
The [Truth TR->40].
Every one that is of The [Truth TR->41] heareth My
Voice. 38Pilate saith unto Him,
What is truth? And
when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto
them, I
find in Him
no fault at all. 39But ye have a custom, that I
should
release unto you one at the pascha:
will ye therefore that I release unto you The
King of the Jews? 40Then
cried they all again, saying, Not this Man,
but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
19 |
Then
Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him.
2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and
put it
on His Head,
and they put on Him a purple robe, 3And
said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote Him
with their hands. 4Pilate therefore went
forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring Him
forth to you, that
ye may know that I find no fault in Him.
5Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of
thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold
the Man! 6When the
chief priests therefore and officers saw Him,
they cried out, saying, [Crucify, crucify CR.A->28 CR.B->21] Him. Pilate saith unto
them, Take ye him, and [crucify CR.A->29 CR.B->22] Him: for I find no
fault in Him.
7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to
die, because He made Himself
The Son of God.
8When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid; 9And went again into the judgment hall, and saith
unto
Jesus, Whence art Thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10Then
saith
Pilate unto Him,
Speakest Thou
not unto me? knowest Thou not that I have authority to [crucify CR.A->30 CR.B->23] Thee,
and have authority to release Thee?
11Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no authority at all
against Me,
except it were given thee from Above:
therefore he that delivered Me
unto thee hath the
greater sin. 12And from thenceforth Pilate sought to
release Him: but the Jews cried
out, saying, If thou let this Man
go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh
himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the
Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14And it was the
preparation
of the pascha,
and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15But
they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him, [crucify CR.A->31 CR.B->24] Him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I [crucify CR.A->32
CR.B->25] your King? The chief priests answered, We
have no king
but Caesar. 16Then delivered he Him
therefore unto them to be [crucified CR.A->33
CR.B->26]. And they took Jesus, and led Him away. 17And He
bearing His [Cross CR.A->34]
went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is
called in
the Hebrew Golgotha: 18Where they [crucified CR.A->35 CR.B->27] Him,
and two others with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19And
Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the [Cross CR.A->36]. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE
KING OF THE
JEWS. 20This title then read many of the Jews: for the
place where
Jesus was [crucified CR.A->37 CR.B->28] was nigh to the city: and it was written in
Hebrew, and
Greek, and Latin. 21Then said the chief priests of
the Jews
to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that He
said, I am King of
the Jews. 22Pilate answered, What I have written I have
written.
23Then
the soldiers, when they had [crucified CR.A->38
CR.B->29] Jesus, took His
garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part;
and also His coat:
now the coat was without seam, woven from the top
throughout. 24They said therefore among themselves, Let us
not rend
it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that The
Scripture might be
fulfilled, which saith, They parted My
raiment among them, and for My
vesture they did cast
lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25Now
there stood by The [Cross CR.A->39]
of Jesus His
[mother MR.A->37], and His
[mother’s MR.A->38] sister, Mary the wife
of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus therefore saw
His [mother MR.A->39],
and the disciple standing by, whom He
[Loved AG->36], He
saith unto His [mother MR.A->40], Woman, behold thy son! 27Then
saith He to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his
own home.
28After
this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that The Scripture
might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29Now
there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with
vinegar,
and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His
Mouth. 30When
Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He
said, It is finished: and He
bowed His Head,
and gave up the Spirit. 31The Jews therefore, because
it was the
preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the
sabbath
day, for that sabbath day was an high day, besought Pilate that their
legs
might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32Then
came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other
which was
crucified with him. 33But when they came to Jesus, and saw
that He was dead already,
they brake not His Legs:
34But one of the soldiers with a spear
pierced His
Side, and
forthwith came there out [Blood BL->14] and Water.
35And he that saw it bare witness, and his witness is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36For
these
things were done, that The Scripture
should be fulfilled, A bone of Him
shall not be broken.
37And again another Scripture
saith, They shall look on Him
whom they pierced.
38And
after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might
take
away The Body
of Jesus: and
Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took The
Body of Jesus. 39And
there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night,
and
brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40Then
took they The
Body of
Jesus, and wound It in linen clothes with the spices, as the
manner of the
Jews is to bury. 41Now in the place where He
was [crucified CR.A->40
CR.B->30] there was a garden; and in the garden a new Sepulchre,
wherein was
never man yet laid. 42There laid they Jesus therefore
because of the
Jews’ preparation day; for The
Sepulchre was nigh at hand.
20 |
The first day
of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto The
Sepulchre, and seeth the
stone taken away from The Sepulchre.
2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon
Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto
them, They
have taken away The [Lord LR.B->38]
out of The Sepulchre,
and we know
not where they have laid Him. 3Peter therefore went forth, and
that other
disciple, and came to The Sepulchre.
4So they ran both together: and the
other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to The
Sepulchre. 5And
he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying;
yet went
he not in. 6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went
into The Sepulchre,
and seeth the
linen clothes lie, 7And the napkin, that was about His
Head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8Then
went
in also that other disciple, which came first to The
Sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9For
as yet
they knew not The Scripture,
that He must rise again from the dead. 10Then
the
disciples went away again unto their own home.
11But
Mary stood without at The Sepulchre
weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and
looked into The Sepulchre,
12And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at The Head,
and the other at The Feet,
where The Body
of Jesus had lain. 13And they say unto her,
Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken
away my [Lord LR.B->39], and I know not where they have laid Him.
14And
when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and
knew not that it was Jesus. 15Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
why
weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him
to be the gardener, saith unto Him,
[Lord
LR.B->40], if Thou
have borne Him hence, tell me where
Thou hast
laid Him,
and I will take Him away. 16Jesus saith unto her,
Mary. She
turned herself, and saith unto Him,
Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher. 17Jesus
saith unto her, Touch Me not; for I am not yet ascended to My
Father: but go to My brethren, and say
unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My
God, and your God. 18Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen The
[Lord LR.C->37], and that He
had spoken these things unto her.
19Then
the same day at evening, being the first day of
the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled
for fear
of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them,
Peace be
unto you. 20And when He
had so said, He shewed unto them His Hands and His
Side. Then were the
disciples glad, when they saw The
[Lord LR.C->38].
21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you:
as My Father
hath sent Me, even so send I you. 22And when He
had said this, He Breathed on them,
and saith unto them, Receive ye The
Holy Spirit: 23Whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24But
Thomas, one of the [twelve TW->35],
called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The
other
disciples therefore said unto Him,
We have seen The [Lord LR.D->33].
But he said unto them, Except I shall see in His
Hands the print of the nails, and put my finger
into the
print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His
Side, I will not believe.
26And
after eight days again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then
came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be
unto you. 27Then saith He
to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold My
Hands; and reach hither
thy hand, and thrust it into My
Side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And
Thomas answered and said unto Him,
My [Lord LR.D->34]
and my God. 29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou
hast seen Me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed.
30And
many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His
disciples, which are
not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye
might
believe that Jesus is The Christ, [The Son of God
SG->20]; and that believing ye
might have
life through His [Name NM.B->20].
21 |
After
these things Jesus shewed Himself
again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and
on this wise shewed He Himself.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas
called Didymus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and
two other
of his disciples. 3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a
fishing. They
say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a
ship
immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4But when
the
morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew
not that
it was Jesus. 5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have
ye any
meat? They answered Him, No. 6And He
said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not
able to
draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7Therefore that
disciple whom
Jesus [Loved AG->37]
saith unto Peter, It is The [Lord LR.D->35].
Now when Simon Peter heard that it was The
[Lord LR.C->39],
he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, for he was naked,
and did
cast himself into the sea. 8And the other disciples came in
a little
ship; for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred
cubits,
dragging the net with fishes. 9As soon then as they were
come to
land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10Jesus
saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11Simon
Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, and
hundred and
fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net
broken. 12Jesus
saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst
ask Him, Who art Thou?
knowing that it
was The [Lord LR.C->40]. 13Jesus then cometh, and taketh
bread, and
giveth them, and fish likewise. 14This is now the third
time that
Jesus shewed Himself to His
disciples, after that He was risen from the dead.
15So
when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
of Jonas, [lovest AG->38] thou Me
more than these? He
saith unto Him,
Yea, [Lord LM->36 LR.D->36];
Thou
knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My
lambs. 16He saith to
him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, [lovest AG->39] thou Me?
He saith unto Him, Yea, [Lord LM->37
LR.D->37]; Thou
knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My
sheep. 17He saith unto
him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?
Peter was grieved
because He
said unto him the third time, lovest thou Me?
And he said unto Him, [Lord LM->38
LR.D->38], Thou
knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee.
Jesus saith unto him, Feed My
sheep. 18[Amin, Amin
AM.B->40], I say unto thee, When
thou wast
young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but
when thou
shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall
gird thee,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19This
spake He, signifying by what
death he should glorify God. And when He
had spoken this, He saith unto him, Follow Me.
20Then Peter, turning about, seeth the
disciple whom Jesus [Loved AG->40] following; which also leaned on His
breast at supper,
and said, [Lord LM->39 LR.D->39],
which is he that betrayeth Thee?
21Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, [Lord LM->40 LR.D->40], and what shall this man do? 22Jesus
saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that
to
thee? follow thou Me. 23Then went this saying abroad
among the
brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto
him, He
shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to
thee? 24This is the disciple which witnesseth of these things, and wrote these things: and we
know that
his witness
is true. 25And there are also many other things which Jesus
did, the
which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the
world
itself could not contain the books that should be written. [Amin
AM.B->41 AM.C->3].
