Book of John Explained
This begins the study in the most spiritual book in the entire Bible, the
Book of John. This is one of my own personal favorites of all the sixty-six
books of the Bible. The Book of John is not like the Book of Matthew, Mark,
or Luke which cover the same period of time.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell of the birth, life, crucifixion and
resurrection of Jesus, but they stress more what Jesus did than who He is.
In John, the entire book is showing that Jesus was, is, and always will be
deity. It shows that God took on the form of flesh and dwelt among us.
Title:
The title of the fourth gospel continues the pattern of the other gospels,
being identified originally as "According to John". Like the others, "The
Gospel" was added later.
Author - Date:
Although the author's name does not appear in the gospel, reinforcing early
church tradition strongly and consistently identified him as the Apostle
John. The early church father Irenaeus (ca. A.D. 130-200), was a disciple
of Polycarp (ca. A.D. 70-160), who was a disciple of the Apostle John, and
he testified on Polycarp's authority that John wrote the gospel during his
residence at Ephesus in Asia Minor when he was advanced in age (Against
Heresies 2.22.5; 3.1.1). Subsequent to Irenaeus, all the church fathers
assumed John to be the gospel's author. Clement of Alexandria (ca. A.D.
150-215), wrote that John, aware of the facts set forth in the other
gospels and being moved by the Holy Spirit, composed a "spiritual gospel"
(see Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History 6.14.7).
A process of elimination may reveal his identity. Surely, he was one of the
inner three disciples (Peter, James, John), who were with Jesus at the
Transfiguration, the healing of Jairus' daughter, and in the Garden of
Gethsemane. He is distinguished from Peter in 21:20 (compare 13:23-24); and
since James was slain about A.D. 40 (Acts 12:2), long before this gospel
was composed, this leaves only John as the "beloved disciple".
Reinforcing early church tradition are significant internal characteristics
of the gospel. While the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), identify
the Apostle John by name approximately 20 times (including parallels), he
is not directly mentioned by name in the Gospel of John. Instead, the
author prefers to identify himself as the disciple "who Jesus loved"
(13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7, 20). The absence of any mention of John's name
directly is remarkable when one considers the important part played by
other named disciples in this gospel. Yet, the recurring designation of
himself as the disciple "whom Jesus loved", a deliberate avoidance by John
of his personal name, reflects his humility and celebrates his relation to
his Lord Jesus. No mention of his name was necessary since his original
readers clearly understood that he was the gospel's author. Also, through a
process of elimination based primarily on analyzing the material in
chapters 20 and 21, this disciple "whom Jesus loved" narrows down to the
Apostle John (e.g., 21:24; compare 21:2). Since the gospel's author is
exacting in mentioning the names of other characters in the book, if the
author had been someone other than John the apostle, he would not have
omitted John's name.
The gospel's anonymity strongly reinforces the arguments favoring John's
authorship, for only someone of his well-known and preeminent authority as
an apostle would be able to write a gospel that differed so remarkedly in
form and substance from the other gospels and have it receive unanimous
acceptance in the early church. In contrast, apocryphal gospels produced
from the mid-second century onward were falsely ascribed to apostles or
other famous persons closely associate with Jesus, yet universally rejected
by the church.
John and James, his older brother (Acts 12:2), were known as "the sons of
Zebedee" (Matthew 10:2-4), and Jesus gave them the name "Sons of Thunder"
(Mark 3:17). John was an apostle (Luke 6:12-16), and one of the 3 most
intimate associates of Jesus (along with Peter and James, compare Matthew
17:1; 26:37), being an eyewitness to and participant in Jesus' early
ministry (1 John 1:1-4). After Christ's ascension, John became a "pillar"
in the Jerusalem church (Gal. 2:9). He ministered with Peter (Acts 3:1;
4:13; 8:14), until he went to Ephesus (tradition says before the
destruction of Jerusalem), from where he wrote this gospel and from where
the Romans exiled him to Patmos (Rev. 1:9). Besides the gospel that bears
his name, John also authored 1, 2 and 3 John and the book of Revelation
(Rev. 1:1).
Because the writings of some church fathers indicate that John was actively
writing in his old age and that he was already aware of the synoptic
gospels, many date the gospel sometime after their composition, but prior
to John' s writing of 1, 2 and 3 John or Revelation. John wrote his gospel
ca. A.D. 80-90, about 50 years after he witnessed Jesus' earthly ministry.
Background - Setting:
Strategic to John's background and setting is the fact that according to
tradition John was aware of the synoptic gospels. Apparently, he wrote his
gospel in order to make a unique contribution to the record of the Lord's
life ("a spiritual gospel"), and, in part, to be supplementary as well as
complementary to Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
The gospel's unique characteristics reinforce this purpose: First, John
supplied a large amount of unique material not recorded in the other
gospels. Second, he often supplied information that helps the understanding
of the events in the synoptics. For example, while the synoptics begin with
Jesus' ministry in Galilee, they imply that Jesus had a ministry prior to
that (e.g., Matthew 4:12; Mark 1:14). John supplies the answer with
information on Jesus' prior ministry in Judea (chapter 3), and Samaria
(chapter 4). In Mark 6:45, after the feeding of the 5000, Jesus compelled
his disciples to cross the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida. John recorded the
reason. The people were about to make Jesus king because of His miraculous
multiplying of food, and He was avoiding their ill-motivated efforts
(6:26). Third, John is the most theological of the gospels, containing, for
example a heavily theological prologue (1:1-18), larger amounts of didactic
and discourse material in proportion to narrative (e.g., 3:13-17), and the
largest amount of teaching on the Holy Spirit (e.g., 14:16-17, 26;
16:7-14). Although John was aware of the synoptics and fashioned his gospel
with them in mind, he did not depend upon them for information. Rather,
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he utilized his own memory as an
eyewitness in composing the gospel (1:14; 19:35; 21:24).
John's gospel is the second (compare Luke 1:1-4), that contains a precise
statement regarding the author's purpose (20:30-31). He declares, "these
have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" (20:31). The
primary purposes, therefore, are two-fold: evangelistic and apologetic.
Reinforcing the evangelistic purpose is the fact that the word "believe"
occurs approximately 100 times in the gospel (the synoptics use the term
less than half as much). John composed his gospel to provide reasons from
saving faith in this readers and, as a result, to assure them that they
would receive the divine gift of eternal life (1:12).
The apologetic purpose is closely related to the evangelistic purpose. John
wrote to convince his readers of Jesus' true identity as the incarnate
God-Man whose divine and human natures were perfectly united onto one
person who was the prophesied Christ ("Messiah"), and Savior of the world
(e.g., 1:41; 3:16; 4:25-26; 8:58). He organized his whole gospel around 8
"signs" or proofs that reinforce Jesus' true identity leading to faith. The
first half of his work centers around seven miraculous signs selected to
reveal Christ's person and engender belief: Then the eighth shown below,
was after Jesus' resurrection.
(1) Water made into wine (2:1-11);
(2) The healing of the royal official's son (4:46-54);
(3) The healing of the lame man (5:1-18);
(4) The feeding of a multitude (6:1-15);
(5) Walking on water (6:16-21);
(6) Healing of the blind man (9-1-41);
(7) The raising of Lazarus (11:1-57);
(8) The miraculous catch of fish (21:6-11), after Jesus' resurrection.
Historical - Theological Themes:
In accordance with John's evangelistic and apologetic purposes, the overall
message of the gospel is found in 20:31: "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God". The book therefore, centers on the person and work of Christ. Three
predominant words ("signs", "believe", and "life"), in 20:30-31), receive
constant reemphasis throughout the gospel to enforce the theme of salvation
in Him, which is first set forth in the prologue (1:1-18; compare 1 John
1:1-4), and re-expressed throughout the gospel in varying ways (e.g. 6:35,
48; 8:12; 10:7, 9; 10:11-14; 11:25; 14:6; 17:3). In addition, John provides
the record of how men responded to Jesus Christ and the salvation that He
offered. Summing up, the gospel focuses on:
(1) Jesus as the Word, the Messiah, and Son of God;
(2) Who brings the gift of salvation to mankind;
(3) Who either accept or reject the offer.
John also presents certain contrastive sub-themes that reinforce his main
theme. He uses dualism (life and death, light and darkness, love and hate,
from above and from below), to convey vital information about the person
and work of Christ and the need to believe in Him (e.g. 1:4-5, 12, 13;
3:16-21; 12:44-46; 15:17-20).
There are also 7 emphatic "I AM" statements which identify Jesus as God and
Messiah (6:35; 8:12; 10:7, 9; 10:11, 14; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1, 5).
There is such a love oozing from every word in this book. We see a young
man so devoted that he laid his head upon Jesus' breast. John was the very
first of the men to realize that Jesus had truly risen from the grave.
The name of John translated is "Jehovah is merciful", or "the grace of
Jehovah".
He received the information for the Book of Revelation while he was
banished to this island. He loved Jesus so much that even though he was
alone, he was in the spirit on the Lord's Day. I could write this whole
series about this penman, but we are not looking at John, but at his work.
The Book of John shows a beautiful relationship between Jesus and the
Father. In the Book of John, Christ speaks of God as the Father over 100
times. In the Book of John, we find that Jesus' ministry altogether was
approximately 3-1/2 years.
In the Book of John, that we do not see in the other gospels is the
conversation of Jesus with Nicodemus, the conversation with the woman of
Samaria, and many more.
There are eight miracles of Christ recorded (see above under Background -
Setting), and all of them show Jesus' Godhead. Six of these are mentioned
only in the Book of John. John's information is all first-hand knowledge.
He was there when it happened. This is a book also, that shows the
opposites of Jesus our Lord to Satan. We see light and darkness, good and
evil, truth and lies.
We see Jesus as the Light of the world, the Truth, the Way, the Life. We
will see Jesus as God in man's flesh in John. The divineness of Jesus was
more apparent in John's writings. I believe this partially was because of
John's close association with Jesus, and because of the occasion when he
heard the voice of the Father saying, "This is my beloved Son".
John had also seen Jesus with His divine nature at the mount of
transfiguration. The one message that I see clearly throughout the Book of
John which all the Scriptures focus upon is "the Word was made flesh" (see
John 1:14).
In the first 18 verses, we find that these verses constitute the prologue
which introduces many of the major themes that John will treat, especially
the main theme that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God". Several key
words repeated throughout the gospel such as life, light, witness, and
glory, appear here.
The remainder of the gospel develops the theme of the prologue as to how
the eternal "Word" of God, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God, became flesh
and ministered among men so that all who believe in Him would be saved.
Although John wrote the prologue with the simplest vocabulary in the New
Testament, the truths which the prologue conveys are the most profound.

there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming

John 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus.
John 1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being
interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
John 1:39 He 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.
John 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
John 1:41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him,
We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
John 1:42 And 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 stone.
John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
John 1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and
Peter.
John 1:45 Philip 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.
John 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come
out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold
an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:48 Nathanael 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.
John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the
Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
John 1:50 Jesus 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.

Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and
descending upon the Son of man.
John 2
John Chapter 2
John 2:1-2, "And
the third day there
was a marriage in
Cana of Galilee;
and the mother of
Jesus was there:"
"And both Jesus was
called, and his
disciples, to the
marriage."
John 2:3, "And when
they wanted wine,
the mother of Jesus
saith unto him,
They have no wine."
John 2:4, "Jesus
saith unto her,
Woman, what have I
to do with thee?
mine hour is not
yet come."
John 2:5, "His
mother saith unto
the servants,
Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it."
John 2:6, "And
there were set
there six waterpots
of stone, after the
manner of the
purifying of the
Jews, containing
two or three
firkins apiece."
John 2:7, "Jesus
saith unto them,
Fill the waterpots
with water. And
they filled them up
to the brim."
John 2:8, "And he
saith unto them,
Draw out now, and
bear unto the
governor of the
feast. And they
bare it."
John 2:9, "When 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."
John 2:10, "And
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."
John 2:11, "This
beginning of
miracles did Jesus
in Cana of Galilee,
and manifested
forth his glory;
and his disciples
believed on him."
John 2:13, "And the
Jews' passover was
at hand, and Jesus
went up to
Jerusalem,"
John 2:13-14 "And the Jews' passover was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem," "And
found in the temple those that sold oxen
and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting:"
John 2:15, "And 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;"
John 2:16, "And said unto them that sold
doves, Take these things hence; make not my
Father's house an house of merchandise."
John 2:17, "And his disciples remembered
that it was written, The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up."
John 2:18, "Then answered the Jews and said
unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us,
seeing that thou doest these things?"
John 2:19, "Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up."
John 2:20, "Then said the Jews, Forty and
six years was this temple in building, and
wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
John 2:21, "But he spake of the temple of
his body."
John 2:22, "When 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."
John 2:23, "Now when he was in Jerusalem at
the passover, in the feast day, many
believed in his name, when they saw the
miracles which he did."
John 2:24, "But Jesus did not commit
himself unto them, because he knew all
men,"
John 2:25, "And needed not that any should
testify of man: for he knew what was in
man."
John 3
John Chapter 3
John 3:1 "There was
a man of the
Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler
of the Jews:"
John 3:2 "The 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."
John 3:3 "Jesus
answered and said
unto him, Verily,
verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man
be born again, he
cannot see the
kingdom of God."
John 3:4 "Nicodemus
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?"
John 3:5 "Jesus
answered, Verily,
verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man
be born of water
and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter
into the kingdom of
God."
John 3:6 "That
which is born of
the flesh is flesh;
and that which is
born of the Spirit
is spirit."
John 3:7 "Marvel
not that I said
unto thee, Ye must
be born again."
John 3:8 "The 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."
John 3:9 "Nicodemus
answered and said
unto him, How can
these things be?"
John 3:10 "Jesus
answered and said
unto him, Art thou
a master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?"
John 3:11 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
thee, We speak that
we do know, and
testify that we
have seen; and ye
receive not our
witness."
John 3:12 "If I
have told you
earthly things, and
ye believe not, how
shall ye believe,
if I tell you of
heavenly things?"
John 3:13 "And no
man hath ascended
up to heaven, but
he that came down
from heaven, even
the son of man
which is in
heaven."
John 3:14 "And as
Moses lifted up the
serpent in the
wilderness, even so
must the Son of man
be lifted up:"
John 3:15 "That
whosoever believeth
in him should not
perish, but have
eternal life."
John 3:16 "For God
so loved the world,
that he gave his
only begotten Son,
that whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have
everlasting life."
John 3:17 "For God
sent not his Son
into the world to
condemn the world;
but that the world
through him might
be saved."
John 3:18 "He that
believeth on him is
not condemned: but
he that believeth
not is condemned
already, because he
hath not believed
in the name of the
only begotten Son
of God."
John 3:19 "And this
is the
condemnation, that
light is come into
the world, and men
loved darkness
rather than light,
because their deeds
were evil."
John 3:20 "For
every one that
doeth evil hateth
the light, neither
cometh to the
light, lest his
deeds should be
reproved."
John 3:21 "But he
that doeth truth
cometh to the
light, that his
deeds may be made
manifest, that they
are wrought in
God."
John 3:22 "After these things came Jesus
and his disciples into the land of Judea;
and there he tarried with them, and
baptized."
John 3:23 "And John also was baptizing in
Aenon near to Salim, because there was much
water there: and they came, and were
baptized."
John 3:24 "For John was not yet cast into
prison."
John 3:25 "Then there arose a question
between some of John's disciples and the
Jews about purifying."
John 3:26 "And 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, and all men
come to him."
John 3:27 "John answered and said, A man
can receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven."
John 3:28 "Ye yourselves bear me witness,
that I said, I am not the Christ, but that
I am sent before him."
John 3:29 "He 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."
John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must
decrease."
John 3:31-32 "He 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." "And what
he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth;
and no man receiveth his testimony."
John 3:33 "He that hath received his
testimony hath set to his seal that God is
true."
John 3:34 "For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth
not the Spirit by measure unto him."
John 3:35 "The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand."
John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him."
John 4
John Chapter 4
John 4:1 "When
therefore the Lord
knew how the
Pharisees had heard
that Jesus made and
baptized more
disciples than
John,"
John 4:2-3 "(Though
Jesus himself
baptized not, but
his disciples,)"
"He left Judea, and
departed again into
Galilee."
John 4:4 "And he
must needs go
through Samaria."
John 4:5 "Then
cometh he to a city
of Samaria, which
is called Sychar,
near to the parcel
of ground that
Jacob gave to his
son Joseph."
John 4:6 "Now
Jacob's well was
there. Jesus
therefore, being
wearied with his
journey, sat thus
on the well: and it
was about the sixth
hour."
John 4:7 "There
cometh a woman of
Samaria to draw
water: Jesus saith
unto her, Give me
to drink."
John 4:8 "(For his
disciples were gone
away unto the city
to buy meat.)"
John 4:9 "Then
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."
John 4:10 "Jesus
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."
John 4:11 "The
woman saith unto
him, Sir, thou hast
nothing to draw
with, and the well
is deep: from
whence then hast
thou that living
water."
John 4:12 "Art thou
greater than our
father Jacob, which
gave us the well,
and drank thereof
himself, and his
children, and his
cattle?"
John 4:13-14 "Jesus
answered and said
unto her, Whosoever
drinketh of this
water shall thirst
again:" "But
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
everlasting life."
John 4:15 "The
woman saith unto
him, Sir, give me
this water, that I
thirst not, neither
come hither to
draw."
John 4:16 "Jesus
saith unto her, Go,
call thy husband,
and come hither."
John 4:17-18 "The
woman answered and
said, I have no
husband. Jesus said
unto her, Thou hast
well said, I have
no husband:" "For
thou hast had five
husbands; and he
whom thou now hast
is not thy husband:
in that saidst thou
truly."
John 4:19 "The
woman saith unto
him, Sir, I
perceive that thou
art a prophet."
John 4:20 "Our
fathers worshipped
in this mountain;
and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the
place where men
ought to worship."
John 4:21 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh,
when ye shall
neither in this
mountain, nor yet
at Jerusalem,
worship the
Father."
John 4:22 "Ye
worship ye know not
what: we know what
we worship: for
salvation is of the
Jews."
John 4:23 "But the
hour cometh, and
now is, when the
true worshippers
shall worship the
Father in spirit
and in truth: for
the Father seeketh
such to worship
him."
John 4:24 "God is a
Spirit: and they
that worship Him
must worship Him in
spirit and in
truth."
John 4:25 "The
woman saith unto
him, I know that
Messiah cometh,
which is called
Christ: when he is
come, he will tell
us all things."
John 4:26 "Jesus
saith unto her, I
that speak unto
thee am he."
John 4:27 "And upon
this came his
disciples, and
marveled that he
talked with the
woman: yet no man
said, What seekest
thou? or, Why
talkest thou with
her?"
John 4:28-29 "The
woman then left her
waterpot, and went
her way into the
city, and saith to
the men," "Come,
see a man, which
told me all things
that ever I did: is
not this the
Christ?"
John 4:30 "Then
they went out of
the city, and came
unto him."
John 4:31 "In the
mean while his
disciples prayed
him, saying,
Master, eat."
John 4:32 "But he
said unto them, I
have meat to eat
that ye know not
of."
John 4:33
"Therefore said the
disciples one to
another, Hath any
man brought him
aught to eat."
John 4:34 "Jesus
saith unto them, My
meat is to do the
will of him that
sent me, and to
finish his work."
John 4:35 "Say 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."
John 4:36 "And he
that reapeth
receiveth wages,
and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal:
that both he that
soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice
together."
John 4:37-38 "And
herein is that
saying true, One
soweth, and another
reapeth." "I sent
you to reap that
whereon ye bestowed
no labor: other men
labored. And ye are
entered into their
labors."
John 4:39 "And many of the Samaritans of
that city believed on him for the saying of
the woman, which testified, He told me all
that ever I did."
John 4:40 "So when the Samaritans were come
unto him, they besought him that he would
tarry with them: and he abode there two
days."
John 4:41 "And many more believed because
of his own word;"
John 4:42 "And 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 Christ, the Savior of
the world."
John 4:43 "Now after two days he departed
thence, and went into Galilee."
John 4:44 "For Jesus himself testified,
that a prophet hath no honor in his own
country."
John 4:45 "Then when he was come into
Galilee, the Galileans received him, having
seen all the things that he did at
Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went
unto the feast."
John 4:46 "So 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."
John 4:47 "When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judea 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."
John 4:48 "Then said Jesus unto him, Except
ye see signs and wonders, ye will not
believe."
John 4:49 "The nobleman saith unto him,
Sir, come down ere my child die."
John 4:50 "Jesus 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."
John 4:51 "And as he was now going down,
his servants met him, and told him, saying,
Thy son liveth."
John 4:52 "Then inquired he of them the
hour when he began to amend. And they said
unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever left him."
John 4:53 "So 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."
John 4:54 "This is again the second miracle
that Jesus did, when he was come out of
Judea into Galilee."
John 5
John Chapter 5
John 5:1. "After
this there was a
feast of the Jews;
and Jesus went up
to Jerusalem."
John 5:2 "Now there
is at Jerusalem by
the sheep market a
pool, which is
called in the
Hebrew tongue
Bethesda, having
five porches."
John 5:3 "In these
lay a great
multitude of
impotent folk, of
blind, halt,
withered, waiting
for the moving of
the water."
John 5:4 "For 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."
John 5:5 "And a
certain man was
there, which had an
infirmity thirty
and eight years."
John 5:6 "When
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?"
John 5:7 "The
impotent man
answered him, Sir,
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."
John 5:8 "Jesus
saith unto him,
Rise, take up thy
bed, and walk."
John 5:9 "And
immediately the man
was made whole, and
took up his bed,
and walked: and on
the same day was
the sabbath."
John 5:10 "The Jews
therefore said unto
him that was cured,
It is the sabbath
day: it is not
lawful for thee to
carry thy bed."
John 5:11 "He
answered them, He
that made me whole,
the same said unto
me, Take up thy
bed, and walk."
John 5:12 "Then
asked they him,
What man is that
which said unto
thee, Take up thy
bed, and walk?"
John 5:13 "And he
that was healed
wist not who it
was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself
away, a multitude
being in that
place."
John 5:14
"Afterward 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."
John 5:15 "The man
departed, and told
the Jews that it
was Jesus, which
had made him
whole."
John 5:16 "And
therefore did the
Jews persecute
Jesus, and sought
to slay him,
because he had done
these things on the
sabbath day."
John 5:17 "But
Jesus answered
them, My Father
worketh hitherto,
and I work."
John 5:18
"Therefore 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."
John 5:19. "Then
answered Jesus and
said unto them,
Verily, verily, 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."
John 5:20 "For the
Father loveth the
Son, and showeth
him all things that
himself doeth: and
he will shew him
greater works than
these, that ye may
marvel."
John 5:21 "For as
the Father raiseth
up the dead, and
quickeneth them;
even so the Son
quickeneth whom he
will."
John 5:22-23 "For
the Father judgeth
no man, but hath
committed all
judgment unto the
Son:" "That all men
should honor the
Son, even as they
honor the Father.
He that honoreth
not the Son
honoreth not the
Father which hath
sent him."
John 5:24 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, He that
heareth my word,
and believeth on
him that sent me,
hath everlasting
life, and shall not
come into
condemnation; but
is passed from
death unto life."
John 5:25 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, The hour is
coming, and now is,
when the dead shall
hear the voice of
the Son of God: and
they that hear
shall live."
John 5:26 "For as
the Father hath
life in himself; so
hath he given to
the Son to have
life in himself;"
John 5:27 "And hath
given him authority
to execute judgment
also, because he is
the Son of man."
John 5:28-29
"Marvel not at
this: for the hour
is coming, in the
which all that are
in the graves shall
hear his voice,"
"And shall come
forth; they that
have done good,
unto the
resurrection of
life; and they that
have done evil,
unto the
resurrection of
damnation."
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine
own will, but the will of the Father which
hath sent me."
John 5:31-32 "If I bear witness of myself,
my witness is not true." "There is another
that beareth witness of me; and I know that
the witness which he witnesseth of me is
true."
John 5:33 "Ye sent unto John, and he bare
witness unto the truth."
John 5:34 "But I receive not testimony from
man: but these things I say, that ye might
be saved."
John 5:35 "He was a burning and a shining
light: and ye were willing for a season to
rejoice in his light."
John 5:36 "But 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."
John 5:37 "And 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."
John 5:38 "And ye have not his word abiding
in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not."
John 5:39 "Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me."
John 5:40 "And ye will not come to me, that
ye might have life."
John 5:41 "I receive not honor from men."
John 5:42 "But I know you, that ye have not
the love of God in you."
John 5:43 "I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not: if another shall
come in his own name, him ye will receive."
John 5:44 "How can ye believe, which
receive honor one of another, and seek not
the honor that cometh from God only?"
John 5:45 "Do not think that I will accuse
you to the Father: there is one that
accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye
trust."
John 5:46 "For had ye believed Moses, ye
would have believed me: for he wrote of
me."
John 5:47 "But if ye believe not his
writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
John 6
John Chapter 6
John 6:1 "After
these things Jesus
went over the sea
of Galilee, which
is the sea of
Tiberias."
John 6:2 "And a
great multitude
followed him,
because they saw
his miracles which
he did on them that
were diseased."
John 6:3 "And Jesus
went up into a
mountain, and there
he sat with his
disciples."
John 6:4 "And the
passover, a feast
of the Jews, was
nigh."
John 6:5 "When
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?"
John 6:6 "And this
he said to prove
him: for he himself
knew what he would
do."
John 6:7 "Philip
answered him, Two
hundred pennyworth
of bread is not
sufficient for
them, that every
one of them may
take a little."
John 6:8-9 "One of
his disciples,
Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother,
saith unto him,"
"There is a lad
here, which hath
five barley loaves,
and two small
fishes: but what
are they among so
many?"
John 6:10 "And
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."
John 6:11 "And
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."
John 6:12-13 "When
they were filled,
he said unto his
disciples, Gather
up the fragments
that remain, that
nothing be lost."
"Therefore 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."
John 6:14 "Then
those men, when
they had seen the
miracle that Jesus
did, said, This is
of a truth that
prophet that should
come into the
world."
John 6:15 "When
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."
John 6:16-17 And
when even was now
come, his disciples
went down unto the
sea," "And entered
into a ship, and
went over the sea
toward Capernaum.
And it was now
dark, and Jesus was
not come to them."
John 6:18-19 "And
the sea arose by
reason of a great
wind that blew."
John 6:19 "So when
they had rowed
about five and
twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see
Jesus walking on
the sea, and
drawing nigh unto
the ship: and they
were afraid."
John 6:20 "But he
saith unto them, It
is I; be not
afraid."
John 6:21 "Then
they willingly
received him into
the ship: and
immediately the
ship was at the
land whither they
went."
John 6:22-23 "The
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
wherinto his
disciples were
entered, and that
Jesus went not with
his disciples into
the boat, but that
his disciples were
gone away alone;"
"(Howbeit there
came other boats
from Tiberias nigh
unto the place
where they did eat
bread, after that
the Lord had given
thanks:)"
John 6:24 "When the
people therefore
saw that Jesus was
not there, neither
his disciples, they
also took shipping,
and came to
Capernaum, seeking
for Jesus."
John 6:25 "And when
they had found him
on the other side
of the sea, they
said unto him,
Rabbi, when camest
thou hither?"
John 6:26 "Jesus
answered them and
said, Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, Ye seek me,
not because ye saw
the miracles, but
because ye did eat
of the loaves, and
were filled."
John 6:27 "Labor
not for the meat
which perisheth,
but for that meat
which endureth unto
everlasting life,
which the Son of
man shall give unto
you: for him hath
God the Father
sealed."
John 6:28 "Then
said they unto him,
What shall we do,
that we might work
the works of God?"
John 6:29 "Jesus
answered and said
unto them, This is
the work of God,
that ye believe on
him whom he hath
sent."
John 6:30 "They
said therefore unto
him, What sign
shewest thou then,
that we may see,
and believe thee?
what dost thou
work?"
John 6:31 "Our
fathers did eat
manna in the
desert; as it is
written, He gave
them bread from
heaven to eat."
John 6:32 "Then
Jesus said unto
them, Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, Moses gave you
not that bread from
heaven; but my
Father giveth you
the true bread from
heaven."
John 6:33 "For the
bread of God is he
which cometh down
from heaven, and
giveth life unto
the world."
John 6:34 "Then
said they unto him,
Lord, evermore give
us this bread."
John 6:35 "And
Jesus said unto
them, I am the
bread of life: he
that cometh to me
shall never hunger;
and he that
believeth on me
shall never
thirst."
John 6:36 "But I
said unto you, That
ye also have seen
me, and believe
not."
John 6:37 "All that
the Father giveth
me shall come to
me; and him that
cometh to me I will
in no wise cast
out."
John 6:38 "For I
came down from
heaven, not to do
mine own will, but
the will of him
that sent me."
John 6:39 "And 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."
John 6:40 "And this
is the will of him
that sent me, that
every one which
seeth the Son, and
believeth on him,
may have
everlasting life:
and I will raise
him up at the last
day."
John 6:41 "The Jews
then murmured at
him, because he
said, I am the
bread which came
down from heaven."
John 6:42 "And 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
heaven?"
John 6:43 "Jesus
therefore answered
and said unto them,
Murmur not among
yourselves."
John 6:44 "No man
can come to me,
except the Father
which hath sent me
draw him: and I
will raise him up
at the last day."
John 6:45 "It 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."
John 6:46 "Not that any man hath seen the
Father, save he which is of God, he hath
seen the Father."
John 6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life."
John 6:48 "I am that bread of life."
John 6:49 "Your fathers did eat manna in
the wilderness, and are dead."
John 6:50 "This is the bread which cometh
down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die."
John 6:51 "I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is my flesh, which I
will give for the life of the world."
John 6:52 "The Jews therefore strove among
themselves, saying, How can this man give
us his flesh to eat?"
John 6:53 "Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye
eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink
his blood, ye have no life in you."
John 6:54-55 "Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I
will raise him up at the last day." "For my
flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink
indeed."
John 6:56 "He that eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him."
John 6:57 "As the living Father hath sent
me, and I live by the Father: so he that
eateth me, even he shall live by me."
John 6:58 "This is that bread which came
down from heaven: not as your fathers did
eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of
this bread shall live for ever."
John 6:59 "These things said he in the
synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."
John 6:60. "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?"
John 6:61 "When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at
it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?"
John 6:62 "What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he
was before?"
John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life."
John 6:64 "But 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."
John 6:65 "And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father."
John 6:66 "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked
no more with him."
John 6:67 "Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?"
John 6:68 "Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou has the words of eternal life."
John 6:69 "And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the
Son of the living God."
John 6:70 "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one
of you is a devil?"
John 6:71 "He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was
that should betray him, being one of the twelve."
John 7
John Chapter 7
John 7:1 "After
these things Jesus
walked in Galilee:
for he would not
walk in Jewry,
because the Jews
sought to kill
him."
John 7:2 "Now the
Jews' feast of
tabernacles was at
hand."
John 7:3 "His
brethren therefore
said unto him,
Depart hence, and
go into Judea, that
thy disciples also
may see the works
that thou doest."
John 7:4 "For there
is no man that
doeth any thing in
secret, and he
himself seeketh to
be known openly. If
thou do these
things, shew
thyself to the
world."
John 7:5 "For
neither did his
brethren believe in
him."
John 7:6 "Then
Jesus said unto
them, My time is
not yet come: but
your time is always
ready."
John 7:7 "The world
cannot hate you;
but me it hateth,
because I testify
of it, that the
works thereof are
evil."
John 7:9 "When he
had said these
words unto them, he
abode still in
Galilee."
John 7:10 "But when
his brethren were
gone up, then went
he also up unto the
feast, not openly,
but as it were in
secret."
John 7:11 "Then the
Jews sought him at
the feast, and
said, Where is he?"
John 7:12 "And
there was much
murmuring among the
people concerning
him: for some said,
He is a good man:
others said, Nay;
but he deceiveth
the people."
John 7:13 "Howbeit
no man spake openly
of him for fear of
the Jews."
John 7:14 "Now
about the midst of
the feast Jesus
went up into the
temple, and
taught."
John 7:15 "And the
Jews marveled,
saying, How knoweth
this man letters,
having never
learned?"
John 7:16 "Jesus
answered them, and
said, My doctrine
is not mine, but
his that sent me."
John 7:17 "If any
man will do his
will, he shall know
of the doctrine,
whether it be of
God, or whether I
speak of myself."
John 7:18 "He that
speaketh of himself
seeketh his own
glory: but he that
seeketh his glory
that sent him, the
same is true, and
no unrighteousness
is in him."
John 7:19 "Did not
Moses give you the
law, and yet none
of you keepeth the
law? Why go ye
about to kill me?"
John 7:20 "The
people answered and
said, Thou hast a
devil: who goeth
about to kill
thee?"
John 7:21 "Jesus
answered and said
unto them, I have
done one work, and
ye all marvel."
John 7:22 "Moses
therefore gave unto
you circumcision;
(not because it is
of Moses, but of
the fathers;) and
ye on the sabbath
day circumcise a
man."
John 7:23 "If a man
on the sabbath day
receive
circumcision, that
the law of Moses
should not be
broken; are ye
angry at me,
because I have made
a man every whit
whole on the
sabbath day?"
John 7:24 "Judge
not according to
the appearance, but
judge righteous
judgment."
John 7:25 "Then
said some of them
of Jerusalem, Is
not this he, whom
they seek to kill?"
John 7:26 "But, lo,
he speaketh boldly,
and they say
nothing unto him.
Do the rulers know
indeed that this is
the very Christ?"
John 7:27 "Howbeit
we know this man
whence he is: but
when Christ cometh,
no man knoweth
whence he is."
John 7:28 "Then
cried Jesus in the
temple as he
taught, saying, Ye
both know me, and
ye know whence I
am: and I am not
come of myself, but
he that sent me is
true, whom ye know
not."
John 7:29 "But I
know him: for I am
from him, and he
hath sent me."
John 7:30 "Then
they sought to take
him: but no man
laid hands on him,
because his hour
was not yet come."
John 7:31 "And many
of the people
believed on him,
and said, When
Christ cometh, will
he do more miracles
than these which
this man hath
done?"
John 7:32 "The Pharisees heard that the
people murmured such things concerning him;
and the Pharisees and the chief priests
sent officers to take him."
John 7:33 "Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a
little while am I with you, and [then] I go
unto him that sent me."
John 7:34 "Ye shall seek me, and shall not
find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye
cannot come."
John 7:35 "Then said the Jews among
themselves, Whither will he go, that we
shall not find him? will he go unto the
dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the
Gentiles?"
John 7:36 "What [manner of] saying is this
that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall
not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye
cannot come?"
John 7:37 "In the last day, that great
[day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come
unto me, and drink."
John 7:38 "He that believeth on me, as the
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water."
John 7:39 "(But this spake he of the
Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not
yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)"
John 7:40 "Many of the people therefore,
when they heard this saying, said, Of a
truth this is the Prophet."
John 7:41 "Others said, This is the Christ.
But some said, Shall Christ come out of
Galilee?"
John 7:42 "Hath not the scripture said,
That Christ cometh of the seed of David,
and out of the town of Bethlehem, where
David was?"
John 7:43 "So there was a division among
the people because of him."
John 7:44 "And some of them would have
taken him; but no man laid hands on him."
John 7:45 "Then came the officers to the
chief priests and Pharisees; and they said
unto them, Why have ye not brought him?"
John 7:46 "The officers answered, Never man
spake like this man."
John 7:47-48 "Then answered them the
Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?" "Have any
of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed
on him?"
John 7:49 "But this people who knoweth not
the law are cursed."
John 7:50 "Nicodemus saith unto them, (he
that came to Jesus by night, being one of
them,)"
John 7:51 "Doth our law judge [any] man,
before it hear him, and know what he
doeth?"
John 7:52 "They answered and said unto him,
Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look:
for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."
John 7:53 "And every man went unto his own
house."
John 8
John Chapter 8
John 8:1 "Jesus
went unto the mount
of Olives."
John 8:2 "And early
in the morning he
came again into the
temple, and all the
people came unto
him; and he sat
down, and taught
them."
John 8:3-4 "And the
scribes and
Pharisees brought
unto him a woman
taken in adultery;
and when they had
set her in the
midst," "They say
unto him, Master,
this woman was
taken in adultery,
in the very act."
John 8:5 "Now Moses
in the law
commanded us, that
such should be
stoned: but what
sayest thou?"
John 8:6 "This they
said, tempting him,
that they might
have to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped
down, and with his
finger wrote on the
ground, as though
he heard them not."
John 8:7-8 "So when
they continued
asking him, he
lifted up himself,
and said unto them,
He that is without
sin among you, let
him first cast a
stone at her." "And
again he stooped
down, and wrote on
the ground."
John 8:9 "And they
which heard it,
being convicted by
their own
conscience, went
out one by one,
beginning at the
eldest, even unto
the last: and Jesus
was left alone, and
the woman standing
in the midst."
John 8:10 "When
Jesus had lifted up
himself, and saw
none but the woman,
he said unto her,
Woman where are
those thine
accusers? hath no
man condemned
thee?"
John 8:11 "She
said, No man, Lord,
And Jesus said unto
her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go,
and sin no more."
John 8:12 "Then
spake Jesus again
unto them, saying,
I am the light of
the world: he that
followeth me shall
not walk in
darkness, but shall
have the light of
life."
John 8:13 "The
Pharisees therefore
said unto him, Thou
bearest record of
thyself; thy record
is not true."
John 8:14 "Jesus
answered and said
unto them, Though I
bear record of
myself yet my
record is true; for
I know whence I
came, and whither I
go; but ye cannot
tell whence I come,
and whither I go."
John 8:15 "Ye judge
after the flesh; I
judge no man."
John 8:16 "And yet
if I judge, my
judgement is true:
for I am not alone,
but I and the
Father that sent
me."
John 8:17 "It is
also written in
your law, that the
testimony of two
men is true."
John 8:18 "I am one
that bear witness
of myself, and the
Father that sent me
beareth witness of
me."
John 8:19 "Then
said they unto him,
Where is thy
Father? Jesus
answered, Ye
neither know me,
nor my Father: if
ye had known me, ye
should have known
my Father also."
John 8:20 "These
words spake Jesus
in the treasury, as
he taught in the
temple: and no man
laid hands on him;
for his hour was
not yet come."
John 8:21 "Then
said Jesus again
unto them, I go my
way, and ye shall
seek me, and shall
die in your sins;
whither I go, ye
cannot come."
John 8:22 "Then
said the Jews, Will
he kill himself?
because he saith,
Whither I go, ye
cannot come."
John 8:23 "And he
said unto them, Ye
are from beneath; I
am from above: ye
are of this world;
I am not of this
world."
John 8:24 "I said
therefore unto you,
that ye shall die
in your sins: for
if ye believe not
that I am he, ye
shall die in your
sins."
John 8:25 "Then
said they unto him,
Who art thou? And
Jesus saith unto
them, Even the same
that I said unto
you from the
beginning."
John 8:26 "I have
many things to say
and to judge of
you: but he that
sent me is true;
and I speak to the
world those things
which I have heard
of him."
John 8:27 "They
understood not that
he spake to them of
the Father."
John 8:28 "Then
said Jesus unto
them, When ye have
lifted up the Son
of man, then shall
ye know that I am
he, and that I do
nothing of myself;
but as my Father
hath taught me, I
speak these
things."
John 8:29 "And he
that sent me is
with me: the Father
hath not left me
alone; for I do
always those things
that please him."
John 8:30 "As he
spake these words,
many believed on
him."
John 8:31 "Then
said Jesus to those
Jews which believed
on him, If ye
continue in my
word, then are ye
my disciples
indeed;"
John 8:32 "And ye
shall know the
truth, and the
truth shall make
you free."
John 8:33 "They
answered him, We be
Abraham's seed, and
were never in
bondage to any man:
how sayest thou, Ye
shall be made
free?"
John 8:34 "Jesus
answered them,
Verily, verily, I
say unto you,
Whosoever
committeth sin is
the servant of
sin."
John 8:35 "And the
servant abideth not
in the house for
ever: but the Son
abideth ever."
John 8:36 "If the
Son therefore shall
make you free, ye
shall be free
indeed."
John 8:37 "I know
that ye are
Abraham's seed; but
ye seek to kill me,
because my word
hath no place in
you."
John 8:38 "I speak
that which I have
seen with my
Father: and ye do
that which ye have
seen with your
father."
John 8:39 "They
answered and said
unto him, Abraham
is our father.
Jesus saith unto
them, If ye were
Abraham's children,
ye would do the
works of Abraham."
John 8:40 "But now
ye seek to kill me,
a man that hath
told you the truth,
which I have heard
of God: this did
not Abraham."
John 8:41 "Ye do
the deeds of your
father. Then said
they to him, We be
not born of
fornication; we
have one Father,
even God."
John 8:42 "Jesus
said unto them, If
God were your
Father, ye would
love me: for I
proceeded forth and
came from God;
neither came I of
myself, but he sent
me."
John 8:43 "Why do
ye not understand
my speech? even
because ye cannot
hear my word."
John 8:44 "Ye are
of your father the
devil, and the
lusts of your
father ye will do.
He was a murderer
from the beginning,
and abode not in
the truth, because
there is no truth
in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his
own: for he is a
liar, and the
father of it."
John 8:45 "And because I tell you the
truth, ye believe me not."
John 8:46 "Which of you convinceth me of
sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not
believe me?"
John 8:47 "He that is of God heareth God's
words: ye therefore hear [them] not,
because ye are not of God.
John 8:48 "Then answered the Jews, and said
unto him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?"
John 8:49 "Jesus answered, I have not a
devil; but I honor my Father, and ye do
dishonor me."
John 8:50 "And I seek not mine own glory:
there is one that seeketh and judgeth."
John 8:51 "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never see
death."
John 8:52 "Then said the Jews unto him, Now
we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is
dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If
a man keep my saying, he shall never taste
of death."
John 8:53 "Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets
are dead: whom makest thou thyself?"
John 8:54-55 "Jesus answered, If I honor
myself, my honor is nothing: it is my
Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say,
that he is your God:" "Yet ye have not
known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like
unto you: but I know him, and keep his
saying."
John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
John 8:57 "Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast
thou seen Abraham?"
John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was,
I am."
John 8:59 "Then took they up stones to cast
at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out
of the temple, going through the midst of
them, and so passed by."
John 9
John Chapter 9
John 9:1 "And as
Jesus passed by, he
saw a man which was
blind from his
birth."
John 9:2 "And his
disciples asked
him, saying,
Master, who did
sin, this man, or
his parents, that
he was born blind?"
John 9:3 "Jesus
answered, Neither
hath this man
sinned, nor his
parents: but that
the works of God
should be made
manifest in him."
John 9:4 "I must
work the works of
him that sent me,
while it is day:
the night cometh,
when no man can
work."
John 9:5 "As long
as I am in the
world, I am the
light of the
world."
John 9:6 "When he
had thus spoken, he
spat on the ground,
and made clay of
the spittle, and he
anointed the eyes
of the blind man
with the clay,"
John 9:7 "And said
unto him, Go, wash
in the pool of
Siloam, (which is
by interpretation,
Sent.) He went his
way therefore, and
washed, and came
seeing."
John 9:8 "The
neighbors
therefore, and they
which before had
seen him that he
was blind, said, Is
not this he that
sat and begged?"
John 9:9 "Some
said, This is he:
others said, He is
like him: but he
said, I am he."
John 9:12 "Then
said they unto him,
Where is he? He
said, I know not."
John 9:13 "They
brought to the
Pharisees him that
aforetime was
blind."
John 9:14 "And it
was the sabbath day
when Jesus made the
clay, and opened
his eyes."
John 9:15 "Then
again the Pharisees
also asked him how
he had received his
sight. He said unto
them, He put clay
upon mine eyes, and
I washed, and do
see."
John 9:16
"Therefore said
some of the
Pharisees, This man
is not of God,
because he keepeth
not the sabbath
day. Others said,
How can a man that
is a sinner do such
miracles? And there
was a division
among them."
John 9:17 "They say unto the blind man
again, What sayest thou of him, that he
hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a
prophet."
John 9:18 "But the Jews did not believe
concerning him, that he had been blind, and
received his sight, until they called the
parents of him that had received his
sight."
John 9:19-21 "And they asked them, saying,
Is this your son, who ye say was born
blind? how then doth he now see?" "His
parents answered them and said, We know
that this is our son, and that he was born
blind:" "But by what means he now seeth, we
know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we
know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall
speak for himself."
John 9:22-23 "These words spake his
parents, because they feared the Jews: for
the Jews had agreed already, that if any
man did confess that he was Christ, he
should be put out of the synagogue."
"Therefore said his parents, He is of age;
ask him."
John 9:24 "Then again called they the man
that was blind, and said unto him, Give God
the praise: we know that this man is a
sinner."
John 9:25 "He answered and said, Whether he
be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I
know, that, whereas I was blind, now I
see."
John 9:26-27 "Then said they to him again,
What did he to thee? How opened he thine
eyes?" "He answered them, I have told you
already, and ye did not hear: wherefore
would ye hear it again? will ye also be his
disciples?"
John 9:28 "Then they reviled him, and said,
Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses'
disciples."
John 9:29 "We know that God spake unto
Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from
whence he is."
John 9:30 "The man answered and said unto
them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that
ye know not from whence he is, and yet he
hath opened mine eyes."
John 9:31 "Now we know that God heareth not
sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of
God, and doeth his will, him he heareth."
John 9:32 "Since the world began was it not
heard that any man opened the eyes of one
that was born blind."
John 9:33 "If this man were not of God, he
could do nothing."
John 9:34 "They answered and said unto him,
Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost
thou teach us? And they cast him out."
John 9:35 "Jesus heard that they had cast
him out; and when he had found him, he said
unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of
God?"
John 9:36 "He answered and said, Who is he,
Lord, that I might believe on Him?"
John 9:37 "And Jesus said unto him, Thou
hast both seen him, and it is he that
talketh with thee."
John 9:38 "And he said, Lord, I believe.
And he worshipped him."
John 9:39 "And Jesus said, For judgment I
am come into this world, that they which
see not might see; and that they which see
might be made blind."
John 9:40 "And some of the Pharisees which
were with him heard these words, and said
unto him, Are we blind also?"
John 9:41 "Jesus said unto them, If ye were
blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye
say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."
John 10
John Chapter 10
John 10:1 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, He that
entereth not by the
door into the
sheepfold, but
climbeth up some
other way, the same
is a thief and a
robber."
John 10:2 "But he
that entereth in by
the door is the
shepherd of the
sheep."
John 10:3 "To him
the porter openeth;
and the sheep hear
his voice; and he
calleth his own
sheep by name, and
leadeth them out."
John 10:4 "And when
he putteth forth
his own sheep, he
goeth before them,
and the sheep
follow him: for
they know his
voice."
John 10:5 "And a
stranger will they
not follow, but
will flee from him:
for they know not
the voice of
strangers."
John 10:6 "This
parable spake Jesus
unto them: but they
understood not what
things they were
which he spake unto
them."
John 10:7 "Then
said Jesus unto
them again, Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, I am the door
of the sheep."
John 10:8 "All that
ever come before me
are thieves and
robbers: but the
sheep did not hear
them."
John 10:9 "I am the
door: by me if any
man enter in, he
shall be saved, and
shall go in and
out, and find
pasture."
John 10:10 "The
thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come
that they might
have life, and that
they might have it
more abundantly."
John 10:11 "I am
the good shepherd:
the good shepherd
giveth his life for
the sheep."
John 10:12 "But he
that is a 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."
John 10:13 "The
hireling fleeth,
because he is a
hireling, and
careth not for the
sheep."
John 10:14 "I am
the good shepherd,
and know my sheep,
and am known of
mine."
John 10:15 "As the
Father knoweth me,
even so know I the
Father: and I lay
down my life for
the sheep."
John 10:16 "And
other sheep I have,
which are not of
this fold: them
also I must bring,
and they shall hear
my voice; and there
shall be one fold,
and one shepherd."
John 10:17-18
"Therefore doth my
Father love me,
because I lay down
my life, that I
might take it
again." "No man
taketh it from me,
but I lay it down
of myself. I have
power to lay it
down, and I have
power to take it
again. This
commandment have I
received of my
Father."
John 10:19-21
"There was a
division therefore
again among the
Jews for these
sayings." "And many
of them said, He
hath a devil, and
is mad; why hear ye
him?" "Others said,
These are not the
words of him that
hath a devil. Can a
devil open the eyes
of the blind?"
John 10:22-23 "And it was at Jerusalem the
feast of the dedication, and it was
winter." "And Jesus walked in the temple in
Solomon's porch."
John 10:24 "Then came the Jews round about
him, and said unto him, How long dost thou
make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ,
tell us plainly."
John 10:25 "Jesus answered them, I told
you, and ye believed not: the works that I
do in my Father's name, they bear witness
of me."
John 10:26 "But ye believe not, because ye
are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."
John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:"
John 10:28-29 "And I give unto them eternal
life; and they shall never perish, neither
shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
"My Father, which gave them me, is greater
than all; and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand."
John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."
John 10:31 "Then the Jews took up stones
again to stone him."
John 10:32 "Jesus answered them, Many good
works have I shewed you from my Father; for
which of those works do ye stone me?"
John 10:33 "The Jews answered him, saying,
For a good work we stone thee not; but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a
man, makest thyself God."
John 10:34 "Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said Ye are gods?"
John 10:35 "If he called them gods, unto
whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;"
John 10:36 "Say ye of him, whom the Father
hath sanctified, and sent into the world,
Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the
Son of God?"
John 10:37 "If I do not the works of my
Father, believe me not."
John 10:38 "But if I do, though ye believe
not me, believe the works: that ye may
know, and believe, that the Father is in
me, and I in him."
John 10:39 "Therefore they sought again to
take him: but he escaped out of their
hand,"
John 10:40 "And went away again beyond
Jordan into the place where John at first
baptized; and there he abode."
John 10:41-42 "And many resorted unto him,
and said, John did no miracle: but all
things that John spake of this man were
true." "And many believed on him there."
John 11
John Chapter 11
John 11:1 "Now a
certain man was
sick, named
Lazarus, of
Bethany, the town
of Mary and her
sister Martha."
John 11:2 "(It was
that Mary which
anointed the Lord
with ointment, and
wiped his feet with
her hair, whose
brother Lazarus was
sick.)"
John 11:3
"Therefore his
sisters sent unto
him, saying, Lord,
behold, he whom
thou lovest is
sick."
John 11:4 "When
Jesus heard that,
he said, This
sickness is not
unto death, but for
the glory of God,
that the Son of God
might be glorified
thereby."
John 11:5 "Now
Jesus loved Martha,
and her sister, and
Lazarus."
John 11:6 "When he
had heard therefore
that he was sick,
he abode two days
still in the same
place he was."
John 11:7 "Then
after that saith he
to his disciples,
Let us go into
Judaea again."
John 11:8 "His
disciples say unto
him, Master, the
Jews of late sought
to stone thee; and
goest thou thither
again?"
John 11:9 "Jesus
answered, Are there
not twelve hours in
the day? If any man
walk in the day, he
stumbleth not,
because he seeth
the light of this
world."
John 11:10 "But if
a man walk in the
night, he
stumbleth, because
there is no light
in him."
John 11:11 "These
things said he: and
after that he saith
unto them, Our
friend Lazarus
sleepeth; but I go,
that I may awake
him out of sleep."
John 11:12-13 "Then
said his disciples,
Lord, if he sleep,
he shall do well."
"Howbeit Jesus
spake of his death:
but they thought
that he had spoken
of taking of rest
in sleep."
John 11:14-15 "Then
said Jesus unto
them plainly,
Lazarus is dead."
"And I am glad for
your sakes that I
was not there, to
the intent ye may
believe;
nevertheless let us
go unto him."
John 11:16 "Then
said Thomas, which
is called Didymus,
unto his
fellow-disciples,
Let us also go,
that we may die
with him."
John 11:17 "Then
when Jesus came, he
found that he had
lain in the grave
four days already."
John 11:18 "Now
Bethany was nigh
unto Jerusalem,
about fifteen
furlongs off:"
John 11:19 "And
many of the Jews
came to Martha and
Mary, to comfort
them concerning
their brother."
John 11:20-21 "Then
Martha, as soon as
she heard that
Jesus was coming,
went and met him:
but Mary sat still
in the house."
"Then said Martha
unto Jesus, Lord,
if thou hadst been
here, my brother
had not died."
John 11:22 "But I
know, that even
now, whatsoever
thou wilt ask of
God, God will give
it thee."
John 11:23 "Jesus
saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise
again."
John 11:24 "Martha
saith unto him, I
know that he shall
rise again in the
resurrection at the
last day."
John 11:25 "Jesus
said unto her, I am
the resurrection,
and the life: he
that believeth in
me, though he were
dead, yet shall he
live:"
John 11:26 "And
whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest thou
this?"
John 11:27 "She
saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I
believe that thou
art the Christ, the
Son of God, which
should come into
the world."
John 11:28 "And
when she had so
said, she went her
way, and called
Mary her sister
secretly, saying,
The Master is come,
and calleth for
thee."
John 11:29 "As soon
as she heard that,
she arose quickly,
and came unto him."
John 11:30 "Now
Jesus was not yet
come into the town,
but was in that
place where Martha
met him."
John 11:31 "The
Jews then which
were with her in
the house, and
comforted her, when
they saw Mary, that
she rose up hastily
and went out,
followed her,
saying, She goeth
unto the grave to
weep there."
John 11:32 "Then
when Mary was come
where Jesus was,
and saw him, she
fell down at his
feet, saying unto
him, Lord, if thou
hadst been here, my
brother had not
died."
John 11:33 "When
Jesus therefore saw
her weeping, and
the Jews also
weeping which came
with her, he
groaned in the
spirit, and was
troubled,"
John 11:34 "And
said, Where have ye
laid him? They said
unto him, Lord,
come and see."
John 11:35 "Jesus
wept."
John 11:36 "Then
said the Jews,
Behold how he loved
him!"
John 11:37 "And
some of them said,
Could not this man,
which opened the
eyes of the blind,
have caused that
even this man
should not have
died?"
John 11:38 "Jesus
therefore again
groaning in himself
cometh to the
grave. It was a
cave, and a stone
lay upon it."
John 11:39 "Jesus
said, Take ye away
the stone. Martha,
the sister of him
that was dead,
saith unto him,
Lord, by this time
he stinketh: for he
hath been dead four
days."
John 11:40 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Said I not unto
thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see
the glory of God?"
John 11:41 "Then
they took away the
stone from the
place where the
dead was laid. And
Jesus lifted up his
eyes, and said,
Father, I thank
thee that thou hast
heard me." "And I
knew that thou
hearest me always:
but because of the
people which stand
by I said it, that
they may believe
that thou hast sent
me."
John 11:43 "And
when he thus had
spoken, he cried
with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come
forth."
John 11:44 "And he
that was dead came
forth, bound hand
and foot with
graveclothes: and
his face was bound
about with a
napkin. Jesus saith
unto them, Loose
him, and let him
go."
John 11:45 "Then
many of the Jews
which came to Mary,
and had seen the
things which Jesus
did, believed on
him."
John 11:46 "But some of them went their
ways to the Pharisees, and told them what
things Jesus had done."
John 11:47 "Then gathered the chief priests
and the Pharisees a council, and said, What
do we? for this man doeth many miracles."
John 11:48 "If we let him thus alone, all
men will believe on him: and the Romans
shall come and take away both our place and
nation."
John 11:49 "And one of them, named
Caiaphas, being the high priest that same
year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at
all,"
John 11:50 "Nor consider that it is
expedient for us, that one man should die
for the people, and that the whole nation
perish not."
John 11:51 "And this spake he not of
himself: but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die for
that nation;"
John 11:52 "And not for that nation only,
but that also he should gather together in
one the children of God that were scattered
abroad."
John 11:53 "Then from that day forth they
took counsel together for to put him to
death."
John 11:54 "Jesus therefore walked no more
openly among the Jews; but went thence unto
a country near to the wilderness, into a
city called Ephraim, and there continued
with his disciples."
John 11:55 "And the Jews' passover was nigh
at hand: and many went out of the country
up to Jerusalem before the passover, to
purify themselves."
John 11:56 "Then sought they for Jesus, and
spake among themselves, as they stood in
the temple, What think ye, that he will not
come to the feast?"
John 11:57 "Now both the chief priests and
the Pharisees had given a commandment,
that, if any man knew where he were, he
should shew it, that they might take him."
John 12
John Chapter 12
John 12:1 "Then
Jesus six days
before the passover
came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was
which had been
dead, whom he
raised from the
dead."
John 12:2 "There
they made him a
supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus
was one of them
that sat at the
table with him."
John 12:3 "Then
took Mary a pound
of ointment of
spikenard, very
costly, and
anointed the feet
of Jesus, and wiped
his feet with her
hair: and the house
was filled with the
odor of the
ointment."
John 12:4-5 "Then
saith one of his
disciples, Judas
Iscariot, Simon's
son, which should
betray him," "Why
was not this
ointment sold for
three hundred
pence, and given to
the poor?"
John 12:6 "This he
said, not that he
cared for the poor;
but because he was
a thief, and had
the bag, and bare
what was put
therein."
John 12:7 "Then
said Jesus, Let her
alone: against the
day of my burying
hath she kept
this."
John 12:8 "For the
poor always ye have
with you; but me ye
have not always."
John 12:9 "Much
people of the Jews
therefore knew that
he was there: and
they came not for
Jesus' sake only,
but that they might
see Lazarus also,
whom he had raised
from the dead."
John 12:10-11 "But
the chief priests
consulted that they
might put Lazarus
also to death;"
"Because that by
reason of him many
of the Jews went
away, and believed
on Jesus."
John 12:12 "On the
next day much
people that were
come to the feast,
when they heard
that Jesus was
coming to
Jerusalem,"
John 12:13 "Took
branches of palm
trees, and went
forth to meet him,
and cried, Hosanna:
Blessed is the King
of Israel that
cometh in the name
of the Lord."
John 12:14 "And
Jesus, when he had
found a young ass,
sat thereon; as it
is written,"
John 12:15 "Fear
not, daughter of
Sion: behold, thy
King cometh,
sitting on an ass's
colt."
John 12:16 "These
things understood
not his disciples
at the first: but
when Jesus was
glorified, then
remembered they
that these things
were written of
him, and that they
had done these
things unto him."
John 12:17 "The
people therefore
that was with him
when he called
Lazarus out of his
grave, and raised
him from the dead,
bare record."
John 12:18 "For
this cause the
people also met
him, for that they
heard that he had
done this miracle."
John 12:19 "The
Pharisees therefore
said among
themselves,
Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing?
behold, the world
is gone after him."
John 12:20-21 "And
there were certain
Greeks among them
that came up to
worship at the
feast:" "The same
came therefore to
Philip, which was
of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and
desired him,
saying, Sir, we
would see Jesus."
John 12:22 "Philip
cometh and telleth
Andrew: and again
Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus."
John 12:23 "And
Jesus answered
them, saying, The
hour is come, that
the Son of man
should be
glorified."
John 12:24 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, Except a corn
of wheat fall into
the ground and die,
it abideth alone:
but if it die, it
bringeth forth much
fruit."
John 12:25 "He that
loveth his life
shall lose it; and
he that hateth his
life in this world
shall keep it unto
life eternal."
John 12:26 "If any
man serve me, let
him follow me; and
where I am, there
shall also my
servant be: if any
man serve me, him
will my Father
honor."
John 12:27 "Now is
my soul troubled;
and what shall I
say? Father, save
me from this hour:
but for this cause
came I unto this
hour."
John 12:28 "Father,
glorify thy name.
Then came there a
voice from heaven,
saying, I have both
glorified it, and
will glorify it
again."
John 12:29 "The
people therefore,
that stood by, and
heard it, said that
it thundered:
others said, An
angel spake to
him."
John 12:30 "Jesus
answered and said,
This voice came not
because of me, but
for your sakes."
John 12:31 "Now is
the judgment of
this world: now
shall the prince of
this world be cast
out."
John 12:32 "And I,
if I be lifted up
from the earth,
will draw all men
unto me."
John 12:33 "This he
said, signifying
what death he
should die."
John 12:34 "The
people answered
him, We have heard
out of the law that
Christ abideth for
ever: and how
sayest thou, The
Son of man must be
lifted up? who is
this Son of man?"
John 12:35 "Then
Jesus said unto
them, Yet a little
while is the light
with you. Walk
while ye have the
light, lest
darkness come upon
you: for he that
walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither
he goeth."
John 12:36 "While
ye have light,
believe in the
light, that ye may
be the children of
light. These things
spake Jesus, and
departed, and did
hide himself from
them."
John 12:37 "But though he had done so many
miracles before them, yet they believed not
on him:"
John 12:38 "That the saying 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?"
John 12:39-40 "Therefore they could not
believe, because that Isaiah said again,"
"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened
their heart; that they should not see with
their eyes, nor understand with their
heart, and be converted, and I should heal
them."
John 12:41 "These things said Isaiah, when
he saw his glory, and spake of him."
John 12:42 "Nevertheless among the chief
rulers also many believed on him; but
because of the Pharisees they did not
confess him, lest they should be put out of
the synagogue:"
John 12:43 "For they loved the praise of
men more than the praise of God."
John 12:44 "Jesus cried and said, He that
believeth on me, believeth not on me, but
on him that sent me."
John 12:45 "And he that seeth me seeth him
that sent me."
John 12:46 "I am come a light into the
world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness."
John 12:47 "And if any man hear my words,
and believe not, I judge him not: for I
came not to judge the world, but to save
the world."
John 12:48 "He that rejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day."
John 12:49 "For I have not spoken of
myself; but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say,
and what I should speak."
John 12:50 "And I know that his commandment
is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak."
John 13
John Chapter 13
John 13:1 "Now
before the feast of
the passover, when
Jesus knew that his
hour was come that
he should depart
out of this world
unto the Father,
having loved his
own which were in
the world, he loved
them unto the end."
John 13:2 "And
supper being ended,
the devil having
now put into the
heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's
son, to betray
him;"
John 13:3 "Jesus
knowing that the
Father had given
all things into his
hands, and that he
was come from God,
and went to God;"
John 13:4 "He
riseth from supper,
and laid aside his
garments; and took
a towel, and girded
himself."
John 13:5 "After
that he poureth
water into a basin,
and began to wash
the disciples'
feet, and to wipe
them with the towel
wherewith he was
girded."
John 13:6 "Then
cometh he to Simon
Peter: and Peter
saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou
wash my feet?"
John 13:7 "Jesus
answered and said
unto him, What I do
thou knowest not
now; but thou shalt
know hereafter."
John 13:8 "Peter
saith unto him,
Thou shalt never
wash my feet. Jesus
answered him, If I
wash thee not, thou
hast no part with
me."
John 13:9 "Simon
Peter saith unto
him, Lord, not my
feet only, but also
my hands and my
head."
John 13:10 "Jesus
saith to him, He
that is washed
needeth not save to
wash his feet, but
is clean every
whit: and ye are
clean, but not
all."
John 13:11 "For he
knew who should
betray him;
therefore said he,
Ye are not all
clean."
John 13:12 "So
after he had washed
their feet, and had
taken his garments,
and was set down
again, he said unto
them, Know ye what
I have done to
you"?
John 13:13 "Ye call
me Master and Lord:
and ye say well;
for so I am."
John 13:14 "If I
then, your Lord and
Master, have washed
your feet; ye also
ought to wash one
another's feet."
John 13:15 "For I
have given you an
example, that ye
should do as I have
done to you."
John 13:16 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, The servant is
not greater than
his lord; neither
he that is sent
greater than he
that sent him."
John 13:17 "If ye
know these things,
happy are ye if ye
do them."
John 13:18 "I speak
not of you all: I
know whom I have
chosen: but that
the scripture may
be fulfilled, He
that eateth bread
with me hath lifted
up his heel against
me."
John 13:19 "Now I
tell you before it
come, that, when it
is come to pass, ye
may believe that I
am he."
John 13:20 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, He that
receiveth
whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and
he that receiveth
me receiveth him
that sent me."
John 13:21 "When Jesus had thus said, he
was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that
one of you shall betray me."
John 13:22 "Then the disciples looked one
on another, doubting of whom he spake."
John 13:23 "Now there was leaning on Jesus'
bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved."
John 13:24-25 "Simon Peter therefore
beckoned to him, that he should ask who it
should be of whom he spake." "He then lying
on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who
is it?"
John 13:26 "Jesus answered, He it is, to
whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped
it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave
it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon."
John 13:27 "And after the sop Satan entered
into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That
thou doest, do quickly."
John 13:28 "Now no man at the table knew
for what intent he spake this unto him."
John 13:29 "For some of them thought,
because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had
said unto him, Buy those things that we
have need of against the feast; or, that he
should give something to the poor."
John 13:30 "He then having received the sop
went immediately out: and it was night."
John 13:31 "Therefore, when he was gone
out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him."
John 13:32 "If God be glorified in him, God
shall also glorify him in himself, and
shall straightway glorify him."
John 13:33 "Little children, yet a little
while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and
as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye
cannot come; so now I say to you."
John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto
you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another."
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that
ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another."
John 13:36 "Simon Peter said unto him,
Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered
him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me
now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards."
John 13:37-38 "Peter said unto him, Lord,
why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay
down my life for thy sake." "Jesus answered
him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my
sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The
cock shall not crow, till thou has denied
me thrice."
John 14
John Chapter 14
John 14:1 "Let not
your heart be
troubled: ye
believe in God,
believe also in
me."
John 14:2 "In my
Father's house are
many mansions: if
it were not so, I
would have told
you. I go to
prepare a place for
you."
John 14:3 "And if I
go and prepare a
place for you, I
will come again,
and receive you
unto myself; that
where I am, there
ye may be also."
John 14:4 "And
whither I go ye
know, and the way
ye know."
John 14:5 "Thomas
saith unto him,
Lord, we know not
whither thou goest;
and how can we know
the way?"
John 14:6 "Jesus
saith unto him, I
am the way, the
truth, and the
life: no man cometh
unto the Father,
but by me."
John 14:7 "If ye
had known me, ye
should have known
my Father also: and
from henceforth ye
know him, and have
seen him."
John 14:8 "Philip
saith unto him,
Lord, shew us the
Father, and it
sufficeth us."
John 14:9 "Jesus
saith unto him,
Have I been so long
time with you, and
yet hast thou not
known me, Philip?
he that hath seen
me hath seen the
Father; and how
sayest thou then,
Shew us the
Father?"
John 14:10
"Believest thou not
that I am in the
Father, and the
Father in me? the
words that I speak
unto you I speak
not of myself: but
the Father that
dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works."
John 14:11 "Believe
me that I am in the
Father, and the
Father in me: or
else believe me for
the very works'
sake."
John 14:12 "Verily,
verily, I say unto
you, He that
believeth on me,
the works that I do
shall he do also;
and greater works
than these shall he
do; because I go
unto my Father."
John 14:13 "And
whatsoever ye shall
ask in my name,
that will I do,
that the Father may
be glorified in the
Son."
John 14:14 "If ye
shall ask any thing
in my name, I will
do it."
John 14:15 "If ye
love me, keep my
commandments."
John 14:16 "And I
will pray the
Father, and he
shall give you
another Comforter,
that he may abide
with you for ever;"
John 14:17 "Even
the Spirit of
truth; whom the
world cannot
receive, because it
seeth him not,
neither knoweth
him: but ye know
him; for he
dwelleth with you,
and shall be in
you."
John 14:18 "I will
not leave you
comfortless: I will
come to you."
John 14:19 "Yet a
little while, and
the world seeth me
no more; but ye see
me: because I live,
ye shall live
also."
John 14:20 "At that
day ye shall know
that I am in my
Father, and ye in
me, and I in you."
John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him."
John 14:22 "Judas saith unto him, not
Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the
world?"
John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said unto
him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we
will come unto him, and make our abode with
him."
John 14:24 "He that loveth me not keepeth
not my sayings: and the word which ye hear
is not mine, but the Father's which sent
me."
John 14:25 "These things have I spoken unto
you, being yet present with you."
John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto
you, I go away, and come again unto you. If
ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I
said, I go unto the Father: for my Father
is greater than I."
John 14:29 "And now I have told you before
it come to pass, that, when it is come to
pass, ye might believe."
John 14:30 "Hereafter I will not talk much
with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me."
John 14:31 "But that the world may know
that I love the Father; and as the Father
gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise,
let us go hence."
John 15
John Chapter 15
John 15:1 "I am the
true vine, and my
Father is the
husbandman."
John 15:2 "Every
branch in me that
beareth not fruit
he taketh away: and
every branch that
beareth fruit, he
purgeth it, that it
may bring forth
more fruit."
John 15:3 "Now ye
are clean through
the word which I
have spoken unto
you."
John 15:4 "Abide in
me, and I in you.
As the branch
cannot bear fruit
of itself, except
it abide in the
vine; no more can
ye, except ye abide
in me."
John 15:5 "I am the
vine, ye are the
branches: He that
abideth in me, and
I in him, the same
bringeth forth much
fruit: for without
me ye can do
nothing."
John 15:6 "If a man
abide not in me, he
is cast forth as a
branch, and is
withered; and men
gather them, and
cast them into the
fire, and they are
burned."
John 15:7 "If ye
abide in me, and my
words abide in you,
ye shall ask what
ye will, and it
shall be done unto
you."
John 15:8 "Herein
is my Father
glorified, that ye
bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my
disciples."
John 15:9 "As the
Father hath loved
me, so have I loved
you: continue ye in
my love."
John 15:10 "If ye
keep my
commandments, ye
shall abide in my
love; even as I
have kept my
Father's
commandments, and
abide in his love."
John 15:11 "These
things have I
spoken unto you,
that my joy might
remain in you, and
that your joy might
be full."
John 15:12 "This is my commandment, That ye
love one another, as I have loved you."
John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends."
John 15:14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you."
John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not
servants; for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you
friends; for all things that I have heard
of my Father I have made known unto you."
John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I
have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever
ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you."
John 15:17 "These things I command you,
that ye love one another."
John 15:18 "If the world hate you, ye know
that it hated me before it hated you."
John 15:19 "If ye were of the world, the
world would love his own: but because ye
are not of the world, but I have chosen you
out of the world, therefore the world
hateth you."
John 15:20 "Remember the word that I said
unto you, The servant is not greater than
his lord. If they have persecuted me, they
will also persecute you; if they have kept
my saying, they will keep yours also."
John 15:21 "But all these things will they
do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me."
John 15:22 "If I had not come and spoken
unto them, they had not had sin: but now
they have no cloak for their sin."
John 15:23 "He that hateth me hateth my
Father also."
John 15:24 "If I had not done among them
the works which none other man did, they
had not had sin: but now have they both
seen and hated both me and my Father."
John 15:25 "But this cometh to pass, that
the word might be fulfilled that is written
in their law, They hated me without a
cause."
John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
John 15:27 "And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from the
beginning."
John 16
John Chapter 16
John 16:1 "These
things have I
spoken unto you,
that ye should not
be offended."
John 16:2 "They
shall put you out
of the synagogues:
yea, the time
cometh, that
whosoever killeth
you will think that
he doeth God
service."
John 16:3 "And
these things will
they do unto you,
because they have
not known the
Father, nor me."
John 16:4 "But
these things have I
told you, that when
the time shall
come, ye may
remember that I
told you of them.
And these things I
said not unto you
at the beginning,
because I was with
you."
John 16:5 "But now
I go my way to him
that sent me; and
none of you asketh
me, Whither goest
thou?"
John 16:6 "But
because I have said
these things unto
you, sorrow hath
filled your heart."
John 16:7
"Nevertheless I
tell you the truth;
It is expedient for
you that I go away:
for if I go not
away, the Comforter
will not come unto
you; but if I
depart, I will send
him unto you."
John 16:8 "And when
he is come, he will
reprove the world
of sin, and of
righteousness, and
of judgment:"
John 16:9 "Of sin,
because they
believe not on me;"
John 16:10 "Of
righteousness,
because I go to my
Father, and ye see
me no more;"
John 16:11 "Of
judgment, because
the prince of this
world is judged."
John 16:12 "I have
yet many things to
say unto you, but
ye cannot bear them
now."
John 16:13 "Howbeit
when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come,
he will guide you
into all truth: for
he shall not speak
of himself; but
whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he
speak: and he will
shew you things to
come."
John 16:14 "He
shall glorify me:
for he shall
receive of mine,
and shall shew it
unto you."
John 16:15 "All things that the Father hath
are mine: therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
John 16:16 "A little while, and ye shall
not see me: and again, a little while, and
ye shall see me, because I go to the
Father."
John 16:17 "Then said some of his disciples
among themselves, What is this that he
saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall
not see me: and again, a little while, and
ye shall see me, and, Because I go to the
Father?"
John 16:18 "They said therefore, What is
this that he saith, A little while? we
cannot tell what he saith."
John 16:19 "Now Jesus knew that they were
desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do
ye inquire 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?"
John 16:20 "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
That ye shall weep and lament, but the
world shall rejoice: and ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned
into joy."
John 16:21 "A woman when she is in travail
hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but
as soon as she is delivered of the child,
she remembereth no more the anguish, for
joy that a man is born into the world."
John 16:22 "And ye now therefore have
sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man
taketh from you."
John 16:23 "And in that day ye shall ask me
nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my
name, he will give it you."
John 16:24 "Hitherto have ye asked nothing
in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full."
John 16:25 "These things have I spoken unto
you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when
I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs,
but I shall shew you plainly of the
Father."
John 16:26 "At that day ye shall ask in my
name: and I say not unto you, that I will
pray the Father for you:"
John 16:27 "For the Father himself loveth
you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God."
John 16:28 "I came forth from the Father,
and am come into the world: again, I leave
the world, and go to the Father."
John 16:29 "His disciples said unto him,
Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest
no proverb."
John 16:30 "Now are we sure that thou
knowest all things, and needest not that
any man should ask thee: by this we believe
that thou camest forth from God."
John 16:31 "Jesus answered them, Do ye now
believe?"
John 16:32 "Behold, the hour cometh, yea,
is now come, that ye shall be scattered,
every man to his own, and shall leave me
alone: and yet I am not alone, because the
Father is with me."
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto
you, that in me ye might have peace. In the
world ye shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world."
John 17
John Chapter 17
John 17:1 "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:"
John 17:2 "As thou
hast given him
power over all
flesh, that he
should give eternal
life to as many as
thou hast given
him."
John 17:3 "And this
is life eternal,
that they might
know thee the only
true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou
hast sent.
John 17:4 "I have
glorified thee on
the earth: I have
finished the work
which thou gavest
me to do."
John 17:5 "And now,
O Father, glorify
thou me with thine
own self with the
glory which I had
with thee before
the world was."
John 17:6 "I have
manifested thy name
unto the men which
thou gavest me out
of the world: thine
they were, and thou
gavest them me; and
they have kept thy
word."
John 17:7 "Now they
have known that all
things whatsoever
thou hast given me
are of thee."
John 17:8 "For I
have given unto
them the words
which thou gavest
me; and they have
received them, and
have known surely
that I came out
from thee, and they
have believed that
thou didst send
me."
John 17:9 "I pray
for them: I pray
not for the world,
but for them which
thou hast given me;
for they are
thine."
John 17:10 "And all
mine are thine, and
thine are mine; and
I am glorified in
them."
John 17:11 "And now
I am no more in the
world, but these
are in the world,
and I come to thee.
Holy Father, keep
through thine own
name those whom
thou hast given me,
that they may be
one, as we are."
John 17:12 "While I
was with them in
the world, I kept
them in thy name:
those that thou
gavest me I have
kept, and none of
them is lost, but
the son of
perdition; that the
scripture might be
fulfilled."
John 17:13 "And now
come I to thee; and
these things I
speak in the world,
that they might
have my joy
fulfilled in
themselves."
John 17:14 "I have given them thy word; and
the world hath hated them, because they are
not of the world, even as I am not of the
world."
John 17:15 "I pray not that thou shouldest
take them out of the world, but that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil."
John 17:16 "They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world."
John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy
truth: thy word is truth."
John 17:18 "As thou hast sent me into the
world, even so have I also sent them into
the world."
John 17:19 "And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanctified
through the truth."
John 17:20 "Neither pray I for these alone,
but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word;"
John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as
thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the
world may believe that thou hast sent me."
John 17:22 "And the glory which thou gavest
me I have given them; that they may be one,
even as we are one:"
John 17:23 "I in them, and thou in me, that
they may be made perfect in one; and that
the world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
me."
John 17:24 "Father, I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me, be with me where I
am; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world."
John 17:25 "O righteous Father, the world
hath not known thee: but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou has sent
me."
John 17:26 "And I have declared unto them
thy name, and will declare it: that the
love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in
them, and I in them."
John 18
John Chapter 18
John 18:1 "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."
John 18:2 "And
Judas also, which
betrayed him, knew
the place: for
Jesus ofttimes
resorted thither
with his
disciples."
John 18:3 "Judas
then, having
received a band of
men and officers
from the chief
priests and
Pharisees, cometh
thither with
lanterns and
torches and
weapons."
John 18:4 "Jesus
therefore, knowing
all things that
should come upon
him, went forth,
and said unto them,
Whom seek ye?"
John 18:5 "They
answered him, Jesus
of Nazareth. Jesus
saith unto them, I
am he. And Judas
also, which
betrayed him, stood
with them."
John 18:6 "As soon
then as he had said
unto them, I am he,
they went backward,
and fell to the
ground."
John 18:7-8 "Then
asked he them
again, Whom seek
ye? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth."
"Jesus answered, I
have told you that
I am he: if
therefore ye seek
me, let these go
their way:"
John 18:9 "That the
saying might be
fulfilled, which he
spake, Of them
which thou gavest
me have I lost
none."
John 18:10 "Then
Simon Peter having
a sword drew it,
and smote the high
priest's servant,
and cut off his
right ear. The
servant's name was
Malchus."
John 18:11 "Then
said Jesus unto
Peter, Put up thy
sword into the
sheath: the cup
which my Father
hath given me,
shall I not drink
it?"
John 18:12-13 "Then
the band and the
captain and
officers of the
Jews took Jesus,
and bound him,"
"And led him away
to Annas first; for
he was father in
law to Caiaphas,
which was the high
priest that same
year."
John 18:14 "Now
Caiaphas was he,
which gave counsel
to the Jews, that
it was expedient
that one man should
die for the
people."
John 18:15 "And
Simon Peter
followed Jesus, and
so did another
disciple: that
disciple was known
unto the high
priest, and went in
with Jesus into the
palace of the high
priest."
John 18:16 "But
Peter stood at the
door without. Then
went out that other
disciple, which was
known unto the high
priest, and spake
unto her that kept
the door, and
brought in Peter."
John 18:17 "Then
saith the damsel
that kept the door
unto Peter, Art not
thou also one of
this man's
disciples? He
saith, I am not."
John 18:18 "And the
servants and
officers stood
there, who had made
a fire of coals;
for it was cold:
and they warmed
themselves: and
Peter stood with
them, and warmed
himself."
John 18:19 "The
high priest then
asked Jesus of his
disciples, and of
his doctrine."
John 18:20-21
"Jesus answered
him, I spake openly
to the world; I
ever taught in the
synagogue, and in
the temple, whither
the Jews always
resort; and in
secret have I said
nothing." "Why
askest thou me? ask
them which heard
me, what I have
said unto them:
behold, they know
what I said."
John 18:22 "And when he had thus spoken,
one of the officers which stood by struck
Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying,
Answerest thou the high priest so?"
John 18:23 "Jesus answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but
if well, why smitest thou me?"
John 18:24 "Now Annas had sent him bound
unto Caiaphas the high priest."
John 18:25 "And Simon Peter stood and
warmed himself. They said therefore unto
him, Art not thou also one of his
disciples? He denied it, and said, I am
not."
John 18:26 "One of the servants of the high
priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter
cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the
garden with him?"
John 18:27 "Peter then denied again: and
immediately the cock crew."
John 18:28, Then led they Jesus from
Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it
was early; and they themselves went not
into the judgment hall, lest they should be
defiled; but that they might eat the
passover."
John 18:29 "Pilate then went out unto them,
and said, What accusation bring ye against
this man?"
John 18:30 "They answered and said unto
him, If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have delivered him up unto thee."
John 18:31 "Then said Pilate unto them,
Take ye him, and judge him according to
your law. The Jews therefore said unto him,
It is not lawful for us to put any man to
death:"
John 18:32 "That the saying of Jesus might
be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying
what death he should die."
John 18:33 "Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and
said unto him, Art thou the King of the
Jews?"
John 18:34 "Jesus answered him, Sayest thou
this thing of thyself, or did others tell
it thee of me?"
John 18:35 "Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation and the chief priests have
delivered thee unto me: what hast thou
done?"
John 18:36 "Jesus answered, My kingdom is
not of this world: if my kingdom were of
this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is my kingdom not from hence."
John 18:37 "Pilate therefore said unto him,
Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou
sayest that I am a king. To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto the
truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice."
John 18:38 "Pilate saith unto him, What is
truth? And when he had said this, he went
out again unto the Jews, and saith unto
them, I find in him no fault at all."
John 18:39 "But ye have a custom, that I
should release unto you one at the
Passover: will ye therefore that I release
unto you the King of the Jews?"
John 18:40 "Then cried they all again,
saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber."
John 19
John Chapter 19
John 19:1 "Then
Pilate therefore
took Jesus, and
scourged him."
John 19:2 "And the
soldiers platted a
crown of thorns,
and put it on his
head, and they put
on him a purple
robe,"
John 19:3 "And
said, Hail, King of
the Jews! and they
smote him with
their hands."
John 19:4 "Pilate
therefore went
forth again, and
saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him
forth to you, that
ye may know that I
find no fault in
him."
John 19:5 "Then
came Jesus forth,
wearing the crown
of thorns, and the
purple robe. And
Pilate saith unto
them, Behold the
man!"
John 19:6 "When the
chief priests
therefore and
officers saw him,
they cried out,
saying, Crucify
him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto
them, Take ye him,
and crucify him:
for I find no fault
in him."
John 19:7 "The Jews
answered him, We
have a law, and by
our law he ought to
die, because he
made himself the
Son of God."
John 19:8 "When
Pilate therefore
heard that saying,
he was the more
afraid;"
John 19:9 "And went
again into the
judgment hall, and
saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou?
But Jesus gave him
no answer."
"
John 19:10 "Then
saith Pilate unto
him, Speakest thou
not unto me?
knowest thou not
that I have power
to crucify thee,
and have power to
release thee?"
John 19:11 "Jesus
answered, Thou
couldest have no
power at all
against me, except
it were given thee
from above:
therefore he that
delivered me unto
thee hath the
greater sin."
John 19:12 "And
from thenceforth
Pilate sought to
release him: but
the Jews cried out,
saying, If thou let
this man go, thou
art not Caesar's
friend: whosoever
maketh himself a
king speaketh
against Caesar."
John 19:13 "When
Pilate therefore
heard that saying,
he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down
in the judgment
seat in a place
that is called the
Pavement, but in
the Hebrew,
Gabbatha."
John 19:14 "And it
was the preparation
of the passover,
and about the sixth
hour: and he saith
unto the Jews,
Behold your King!"
John 19:15 "But
they cried out,
Away with him, away
with him, crucify
him. Pilate saith
unto them, Shall I
crucify your King?
The chief priests
answered, We have
no king but
Caesar."
John 19:16 "Then
delivered he him
therefore unto them
to be crucified.
And they took
Jesus, and led him
away."
John 19:17 "And he
bearing his cross
went forth into a
place called the
place of a skull,
which is called in
the Hebrew
Golgotha:"
John 19:18 "Where they crucified him, and
two other with him, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst."
John 19:19 "And Pilate wrote a title, and
put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."
John 19:20 "This title then read many of
the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was
written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin."
John 19:21-22 "Then said the chief priests
of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King
of the Jews; but that he said, I am the
King of the Jews." "Pilate answered, What I
have written I have written."
John 19:23 "Then the soldiers, when they
had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and
made four parts, to every soldier a part;
and also his coat: now the coat was without
seam, woven from the top throughout."
John 19:24 "They said therefore among
themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast
lots for it, whose it shall be: that the
scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,
They parted my raiment among them, and for
my vesture they did cast lots. These things
therefore the soldiers did."
John 19:25 "Now there stood by the cross of
Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister,
Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene."
John 19:26 "When Jesus therefore saw his
mother, and the disciple standing by, whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!"
John 19:27 "Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that hour that
disciple took her unto his own home."
John 19:28 "After this, Jesus knowing that
all things were now accomplished, that the
scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
thirst."
John 19:29 "Now there was set a vessel full
of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with
vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it
to his mouth."
John 19:30 "When Jesus therefore had
received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave
up the ghost."
John 19:31 "The Jews therefore, because it
was the preparation, that the bodies should
not remain upon the cross on the sabbath
day, (for that sabbath day was a high day,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might be taken away."
John 19:32-33 "Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him." "But
when they came to Jesus, and saw that he
was dead already, they brake not his legs:"
John 19:34 "But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and forthwith came
there out blood and water."
John 19:35 "And he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true: and he knoweth that
he saith true, that ye might believe."
John 19:36 "For these things were done,
that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken."
John 19:37 "And again another scripture
saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced."
John 19:38 "And after this Joseph of
Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought
Pilate that he might take away the body of
Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came
therefore, and took the body of Jesus."
John 19:39 "And there came also Nicodemus,
which at the first came to Jesus by night,
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about a hundred pound weight."
John 19:40 "Then took they the body of
Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to
bury."
John 19:41 "Now in the place where he was
crucified there was a garden; and in the
garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never
man yet laid."
John 19:42 "There laid they Jesus therefore
because of the Jews' preparation day; for
the sepulcher was nigh at hand."
John 20
John Chapter 20
John 20:1 "The
first day of the
week cometh Mary
Magdalene early,
when it was yet
dark, unto the
sepulcher, and
seeth the stone
taken away from the
sepulcher."
John 20:2 "Then she
runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and
to the other
disciple, whom
Jesus loved, and
saith unto them,
They have taken
away the Lord out
of the sepulcher,
and we know not
where they have
laid him."
John 20:3 "Peter
therefore went
forth, and that
other disciple, and
came to the
sepulcher."
John 20:4 "So they
ran both together:
and the other
disciple did outrun
Peter, and came
first to the
sepulcher."
John 20:5 "And he
stooping down, and
looking in, saw the
linen clothes
lying; yet went he
not in."
John 20:67 "Then
cometh Simon Peter
following him, and
went into the
sepulcher, and
seeth the linen
clothes lie," "And
the napkin, that
was about his head,
not lying with the
linen clothes, but
wrapped together in
a place by itself."
John 20:8 "Then
went in also that
other disciple,
which came first to
the sepulcher, and
he saw, and
believed."
John 20:9 "For as
yet they knew not
the scripture, that
he must rise again
from the dead."
John 20:10 "Then
the disciples went
away again unto
their own home."
John 20:11 "But
Mary stood without
at the sepulcher
weeping: and as she
wept, she stooped
down, and looked
into the
sepulcher,"
John 20:12 "And
seeth two angels in
white sitting, the
one at the head,
and the other at
the feet where the
body of Jesus had
lain."
John 20:13 "And
they say unto her,
Woman, why weepest
thou? She saith
unto them, Because
they have taken
away my Lord, and I
know not where they
have laid him."
John 20:14 "And
when she had thus
said, she turned
herself back, and
saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that
it was Jesus."
John 20:15 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Woman, why weepest
thou? Whom seekest
thou? She,
supposing him to be
the gardener, saith
unto him, Sir, if
thou have borne him
hence, tell me
where thou hast
laid him, and I
will take him
away."
John 20:16 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Mary. She turned
herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni;
which is to say,
Master."
John Chapter 20
John 20:1 "The
first day of the
week cometh Mary
Magdalene early,
when it was yet
dark, unto the
sepulcher, and
seeth the stone
taken away from the
sepulcher."
John 20:2 "Then she
runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and
to the other
disciple, whom
Jesus loved, and
saith unto them,
They have taken
away the Lord out
of the sepulcher,
and we know not
where they have
laid him."
John 20:3 "Peter
therefore went
forth, and that
other disciple, and
came to the
sepulcher."
John 20:4 "So they
ran both together:
and the other
disciple did outrun
Peter, and came
first to the
sepulcher."
John 20:5 "And he
stooping down, and
looking in, saw the
linen clothes
lying; yet went he
not in."
John 20:67 "Then
cometh Simon Peter
following him, and
went into the
sepulcher, and
seeth the linen
clothes lie," "And
the napkin, that
was about his head,
not lying with the
linen clothes, but
wrapped together in
a place by itself."
John 20:8 "Then
went in also that
other disciple,
which came first to
the sepulcher, and
he saw, and
believed."
John 20:9 "For as
yet they knew not
the scripture, that
he must rise again
from the dead."
John 20:10 "Then
the disciples went
away again unto
their own home."
John 20:11 "But
Mary stood without
at the sepulcher
weeping: and as she
wept, she stooped
down, and looked
into the
sepulcher,"
John 20:12 "And
seeth two angels in
white sitting, the
one at the head,
and the other at
the feet where the
body of Jesus had
lain."
John 20:13 "And
they say unto her,
Woman, why weepest
thou? She saith
unto them, Because
they have taken
away my Lord, and I
know not where they
have laid him."
John 20:14 "And
when she had thus
said, she turned
herself back, and
saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that
it was Jesus."
John 20:15 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Woman, why weepest
thou? Whom seekest
thou? She,
supposing him to be
the gardener, saith
unto him, Sir, if
thou have borne him
hence, tell me
where thou hast
laid him, and I
will take him
away."
John 20:16 "Jesus
saith unto her,
Mary. She turned
herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni;
which is to say,
Master."
John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me
not; for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my Father, and your
Father; and to my God, and your God."
John 20:18 "Mary Magdalene came and told
the disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that he had spoken these things unto
her."
John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week, when the
doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus
and stood in the midst, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you."
John 20:20 "And when he had so said, he
shewed unto them his hands and his side.
Then were the disciples glad, when they saw
the Lord."
John 20:21 "Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent
me, even so send I you."
John 20:22 "And when he had said this, he
breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost:"
John 20:23 "Whose soever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye retain, they are retained."
John 20:24-25 "But Thomas, one of the
twelve, called Didymus, was not with them
when Jesus came." "The other disciples
therefore said unto him, We have seen the
Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall
see in his hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I
will not believe."
John 20:26-27 "And after eight days again
his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them: then came Jesus, the doors being
shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you." "Then saith he to
Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold
my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and
thrust it into my side: and be not
faithless, but believing."
John 20:28 "And Thomas answered and said
unto him, My Lord and My God."
John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not
seen, and yet have believed."
John 20:30-31 "And many other signs truly
did Jesus in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book:" "But
these are written, that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life
through his name."
John 21
John Chapter 21
John 21:1 "After
these things Jesus
showed himself
again to the
disciples at the
sea of Tiberias;
and on this wise
showed he himself."
John 21:2 "There
were together Simon
Peter, and Thomas
called Didymus, and
Nathanael of Cana
in Galilee, and the
sons of Zebedee,
and two other of
his disciples."
John 21:3 "Simon
Peter saith unto
them, I go
a-fishing. They say
unto him, We also
go with thee. They
went forth, and
entered into a ship
immediately; and
that night they
caught nothing."
John 21:4 "But when
the morning was now
come, Jesus stood
on the shore: but
the disciples knew
not that it was
Jesus."
John 21:5 "Then
Jesus saith unto
them, Children,
have ye any meat?
They answered him,
No."
John 21:6 "And he
said unto them,
Cast the net on the
right side of the
ship, and ye shall
find. They cast
therefore, and now
they were not able
to draw it for the
multitude of
fishes."
John 21:7
"Therefore that
disciple whom Jesus
loved saith unto
Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when
Simon Peter heard
that it was the
Lord, he girt his
fisher's coat unto
him, (for he was
naked,) and did
cast himself into
the sea."
John 21:8 "And the
other disciples
came in a little
ship; (for they
were not far from
land, but as it
were two hundred
cubits,) dragging
the net with
fishes."
John 21:9 "As soon
then as they were
come to land, they
saw a fire of coals
there, and fish
laid thereon, and
bread."
John 21:10 "Jesus
saith unto them,
Bring of the fish
which ye have now
caught."
John 21:11 "Simon
Peter went up, and
drew the net to
land full of great
fishes, a hundred
and fifty and
three: and for all
there were so many,
yet was not the net
broken."
John 21:12 "Jesus
saith unto them,
Come and dine. And
none of the
disciples durst ask
him, Who art thou?
knowing that it was
the Lord."
John 21:13 "Jesus
then cometh, and
taketh bread, and
giveth them, and
fish likewise."
John 21:14 "This is now the third time that
Jesus showed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead."
John 21:15 "So when they had dined, Jesus
saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me more than these? He saith
unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my
lambs."
John 21:16 "He saith to him again the
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou
knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
him, Feed my sheep."
John 21:17 "He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him
the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said
unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things;
thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith
unto him, Feed my sheep."
John 21:18 "Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst
thyself, and walkedst whither thou
wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou
shalt stretch forth thy hands, another
shall gird thee, and carry thee whither
thou wouldest not."
John 21:19 "This spake he, signifying by
what death he should glorify God. And when
he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me."
John 21:20 "Then Peter, turning about,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
following; which also leaned on his breast
at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee?"
John 21:21 "Peter seeing him saith to
Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?"
John 21:22 "Jesus saith unto him, If I will
that he tarry till I come, what is that to
thee? follow thou me."
John 21:23 "Then went this saying abroad
among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto
him, He shall not die; but, If I will that
he tarry till I come, what is that to
thee?"
John 21:24 "This is the disciple which
testifieth of these things, and wrote these
things: and we know that his testimony is
true."
John 21:25 "And there are also many other
things which Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written every one, I suppose that
even the world itself could not contain the
books that should be written. Amen."
