Without him, nothing was made that has been made. ### Verse 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ### Verse 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it. ### Verse 6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. ### Verse 7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. ### Verse 8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. ### Verse 9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. ### Verse 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him. ### Verse 11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. ### Verse 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: ### Verse 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ### Verse 14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. ### Verse 15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’” ### Verse 16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. ### Verse 17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. ### Verse 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him. ### Verse 19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” ### Verse 20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.” ### Verse 21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.” ### Verse 22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” ### Verse 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” ### Verse 24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. ### Verse 25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” ### Verse 26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know. ### Verse 27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.” ### Verse 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. ### Verse 29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! ### Verse 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ ### Verse 31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.” ### Verse 32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. ### Verse 33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ ### Verse 34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.” ### Verse 35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, ### Verse 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” ### Verse 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. ### Verse 38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?” ### Verse 39 He said to them, They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. ### Verse 40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. ### Verse 41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ). ### Verse 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, (which is by interpretation, Peter). ### Verse 43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, ### Verse 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ### Verse 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” ### Verse 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” ### Verse 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, ### Verse 48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, ### Verse 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!” ### Verse 50 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 51 He said to him, ## Chapter 2 ### Verse 1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there. ### Verse 2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding. ### Verse 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.” ### Verse 4 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.” ### Verse 6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece. ### Verse 7 Jesus said to them, So they filled them up to the brim. ### Verse 8 He said to them, So they took it. ### Verse 9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and didn’t know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom ### Verse 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse. You have kept the good wine until now!” ### Verse 11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. ### Verse 12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days. ### Verse 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ### Verse 14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. ### Verse 15 He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables. ### Verse 16 To those who sold the doves, he said, ### Verse 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.” ### Verse 18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?” ### Verse 19 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?” ### Verse 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. ### Verse 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. ### Verse 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did. ### Verse 24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone, ### Verse 25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man. ## Chapter 3 ### Verse 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ### Verse 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.” ### Verse 3 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” ### Verse 5 Jesus answered, ### Verse 6 ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?” ### Verse 10 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized. ### Verse 23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized; ### Verse 24 for John was not yet thrown into prison. ### Verse 25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification. ### Verse 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.” ### Verse 27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. ### Verse 28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’ ### Verse 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full. ### Verse 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. ### Verse 31 “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. ### Verse 32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. ### Verse 33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. ### Verse 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. ### Verse 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ### Verse 36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” ## Chapter 4 ### Verse 1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John ### Verse 2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples), ### Verse 3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee. ### Verse 4 He needed to pass through Samaria. ### Verse 5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ### Verse 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. ### Verse 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, ### Verse 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. ### Verse 9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) ### Verse 10 Jesus answered her, ### Verse 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water? ### Verse 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?” ### Verse 13 Jesus answered her, ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.” ### Verse 16 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. ### Verse 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” ### Verse 21 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.” ### Verse 26 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?” ### Verse 28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people, ### Verse 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?” ### Verse 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. ### Verse 31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” ### Verse 32 But he said to them, ### Verse 33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?” ### Verse 34 Jesus said to them, ### Verse 35 ### Verse 36 ### Verse 37 ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.” ### Verse 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. ### Verse 41 Many more believed because of his word. ### Verse 42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.” ### Verse 43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee. ### Verse 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. ### Verse 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast. ### Verse 46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. ### Verse 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. ### Verse 48 Jesus therefore said to him, ### Verse 49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” ### Verse 50 Jesus said to him, The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. ### Verse 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!” ### Verse 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” ### Verse 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, He believed, as did his whole house. ### Verse 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee. ## Chapter 5 ### Verse 1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ### Verse 2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches. ### Verse 3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; ### Verse 4 for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. ### Verse 5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. ### Verse 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, ### Verse 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.” ### Verse 8 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath. ### Verse 10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.” ### Verse 11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me,” ### Verse 12 Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you,?” ### Verse 13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. ### Verse 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, ### Verse 15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. ### Verse 16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. ### Verse 17 But Jesus answered them, ### Verse 18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. ### Verse 19 Jesus therefore answered them, ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 ### Verse 29 ### Verse 30 ### Verse 31 ### Verse 32 ### Verse 33 ### Verse 34 ### Verse 35 ### Verse 36 ### Verse 37 ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 ### Verse 40 ### Verse 41 ### Verse 42 ### Verse 43 ### Verse 44 ### Verse 45 ### Verse 46 ### Verse 47 ## Chapter 6 ### Verse 1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. ### Verse 2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. ### Verse 3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. ### Verse 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. ### Verse 5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, ### Verse 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. ### Verse 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.” ### Verse 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ### Verse 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?” ### Verse 10 Jesus said, Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ### Verse 11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. ### Verse 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, ### Verse 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. ### Verse 14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.” ### Verse 15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself. ### Verse 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. ### Verse 17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. ### Verse 18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. ### Verse 19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. ### Verse 20 But he said to them, ### Verse 21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. ### Verse 22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. ### Verse 23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ### Verse 24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. ### Verse 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” ### Verse 26 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?” ### Verse 29 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do? ### Verse 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’” ### Verse 32 Jesus therefore said to them, ### Verse 33 ### Verse 34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” ### Verse 35 Jesus said to them, ### Verse 36 ### Verse 37 ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 ### Verse 40 ### Verse 41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, ### Verse 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ### Verse 43 Therefore Jesus answered them, ### Verse 44 ### Verse 45 ### Verse 46 ### Verse 47 ### Verse 48 ### Verse 49 ### Verse 50 ### Verse 51 ### Verse 52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ### Verse 53 Jesus therefore said to them, ### Verse 54 ### Verse 55 ### Verse 56 ### Verse 57 ### Verse 58 ### Verse 59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. ### Verse 60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?” ### Verse 61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, ### Verse 62 ### Verse 63 ### Verse 64 For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him. ### Verse 65 He said, ### Verse 66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. ### Verse 67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, ### Verse 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. ### Verse 69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” ### Verse 70 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve. ## Chapter 7 ### Verse 1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. ### Verse 2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. ### Verse 3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. ### Verse 4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.” ### Verse 5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him. ### Verse 6 Jesus therefore said to them, ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. ### Verse 10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. ### Verse 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?” ### Verse 12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.” ### Verse 13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. ### Verse 14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. ### Verse 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?” ### Verse 16 Jesus therefore answered them, ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?” ### Verse 21 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill? ### Verse 26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? ### Verse 27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.” ### Verse 28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, ### Verse 29 ### Verse 30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. ### Verse 31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?” ### Verse 32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. ### Verse 33 Then Jesus said, ### Verse 34 ### Verse 35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? ### Verse 36 What is this word that he said, and?” ### Verse 37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified. ### Verse 40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.” ### Verse 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee? ### Verse 42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” ### Verse 43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him. ### Verse 44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. ### Verse 45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?” ### Verse 46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!” ### Verse 47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? ### Verse 48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him? ### Verse 49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.” ### Verse 50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, ### Verse 51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?” ### Verse 52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” ### Verse 53 Everyone went to his own house, ## Chapter 8 ### Verse 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. ### Verse 2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. ### Verse 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, ### Verse 4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. ### Verse 5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” ### Verse 6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. ### Verse 7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, ### Verse 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. ### Verse 9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. ### Verse 10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, ### Verse 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, ### Verse 12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, ### Verse 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.” ### Verse 14 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, ### Verse 20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. ### Verse 21 Jesus said therefore again to them, ### Verse 22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says,?” ### Verse 23 He said to them, ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father. ### Verse 28 Jesus therefore said to them, ### Verse 29 ### Verse 30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. ### Verse 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, ### Verse 32 ### Verse 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say,?” ### Verse 34 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 35 ### Verse 36 ### Verse 37 ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, ### Verse 40 ### Verse 41 They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.” ### Verse 42 Therefore Jesus said to them, ### Verse 43 ### Verse 44 ### Verse 45 ### Verse 46 ### Verse 47 ### Verse 48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?” ### Verse 49 Jesus answered, ### Verse 50 ### Verse 51 ### Verse 52 Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ### Verse 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?” ### Verse 54 Jesus answered, ### Verse 55 ### Verse 56 ### Verse 57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?” ### Verse 58 Jesus said to them, ### Verse 59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by. ## Chapter 9 ### Verse 1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. ### Verse 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” ### Verse 3 Jesus answered, ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 ### Verse 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, ### Verse 7 and said to him, (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. ### Verse 8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?” ### Verse 9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.” ### Verse 10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?” ### Verse 11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, So I went away and washed, and I received sight.” ### Verse 12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.” ### Verse 13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. ### Verse 14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. ### Verse 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.” ### Verse 16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them. ### Verse 17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” ### Verse 18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight, ### Verse 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” ### Verse 20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; ### Verse 21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.” ### Verse 22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. ### Verse 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.” ### Verse 24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” ### Verse 25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.” ### Verse 26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” ### Verse 27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?” ### Verse 28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. ### Verse 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.” ### Verse 30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. ### Verse 31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him. ### Verse 32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. ### Verse 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” ### Verse 34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out. ### Verse 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, ### Verse 36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?” ### Verse 37 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him. ### Verse 39 Jesus said, ### Verse 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?” ### Verse 41 Jesus said to them, ## Chapter 10 ### Verse 1 ### Verse 2 ### Verse 3 ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 ### Verse 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them. ### Verse 7 Jesus therefore said to them again, ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words. ### Verse 20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?” ### Verse 21 Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?” ### Verse 22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem. ### Verse 23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch. ### Verse 24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” ### Verse 25 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 ### Verse 29 ### Verse 30 ### Verse 31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him. ### Verse 32 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 33 The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” ### Verse 34 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 35 ### Verse 36 ### Verse 37 ### Verse 38 ### Verse 39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand. ### Verse 40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there. ### Verse 41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.” ### Verse 42 Many believed in him there. ## Chapter 11 ### Verse 1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. ### Verse 2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ### Verse 3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.” ### Verse 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, ### Verse 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ### Verse 6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was. ### Verse 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, ### Verse 8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?” ### Verse 9 Jesus answered, ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, ### Verse 12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” ### Verse 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. ### Verse 14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.” ### Verse 17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. ### Verse 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away. ### Verse 19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. ### Verse 20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house. ### Verse 21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. ### Verse 22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” ### Verse 23 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” ### Verse 25 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.” ### Verse 28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.” ### Verse 29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him. ### Verse 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. ### Verse 31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.” ### Verse 32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.” ### Verse 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled, ### Verse 34 and said, They told him, “Lord, come and see.” ### Verse 35 Jesus wept. ### Verse 36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!” ### Verse 37 Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?” ### Verse 38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. ### Verse 39 Jesus said, Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” ### Verse 40 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, ### Verse 42 ### Verse 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, ### Verse 44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ### Verse 45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him. ### Verse 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. ### Verse 47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs. ### Verse 48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” ### Verse 49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, ### Verse 50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.” ### Verse 51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, ### Verse 52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. ### Verse 53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death. ### Verse 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples. ### Verse 55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. ### Verse 56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?” ### Verse 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him. ## Chapter 12 ### Verse 1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. ### Verse 2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. ### Verse 3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. ### Verse 4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said, ### Verse 5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” ### Verse 6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. ### Verse 7 But Jesus said, ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned 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. ### Verse 10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also, ### Verse 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus. ### Verse 12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ### Verse 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!” ### Verse 14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, ### Verse 15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” ### Verse 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. ### Verse 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it. ### Verse 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. ### Verse 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.” ### Verse 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. ### Verse 21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” ### Verse 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus. ### Verse 23 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” ### Verse 29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” ### Verse 30 Jesus answered, ### Verse 31 ### Verse 32 ### Verse 33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die. ### Verse 34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say,? Who is this Son of Man?” ### Verse 35 Jesus therefore said to them, ### Verse 36 Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. ### Verse 37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him, ### Verse 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ### Verse 39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again: ### Verse 40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.” ### Verse 41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ### Verse 42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue, ### Verse 43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise. ### Verse 44 Jesus cried out and said, ### Verse 45 ### Verse 46 ### Verse 47 ### Verse 48 ### Verse 49 ### Verse 50 ## Chapter 13 ### Verse 1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ### Verse 2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, ### Verse 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God, ### Verse 4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist. ### Verse 5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. ### Verse 6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” ### Verse 7 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, ### Verse 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” ### Verse 10 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 11 For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, ### Verse 12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, ### Verse 22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. ### Verse 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest. ### Verse 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.” ### Verse 25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?” ### Verse 26 Jesus therefore answered, So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. ### Verse 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, ### Verse 28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him. ### Verse 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. ### Verse 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night. ### Verse 31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, ### Verse 32 ### Verse 33 ### Verse 34 ### Verse 35 ### Verse 36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, ### Verse 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” ### Verse 38 Jesus answered him, ## Chapter 14 ### Verse 1 ### Verse 2 ### Verse 3 ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ### Verse 6 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” ### Verse 9 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” ### Verse 23 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 ### Verse 29 ### Verse 30 ### Verse 31 ## Chapter 15 ### Verse 1 ### Verse 2 ### Verse 3 ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 ### Verse 6 ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ## Chapter 16 ### Verse 1 ### Verse 2 ### Verse 3 ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 ### Verse 6 ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, and,?” ### Verse 18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says,? We don’t know what he is saying.” ### Verse 19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ### Verse 27 ### Verse 28 ### Verse 29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech. ### Verse 30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.” ### Verse 31 Jesus answered them, ### Verse 32 ### Verse 33 ## Chapter 17 ### Verse 1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, ### Verse 2 ### Verse 3 ### Verse 4 ### Verse 5 ### Verse 6 ### Verse 7 ### Verse 8 ### Verse 9 ### Verse 10 ### Verse 11 ### Verse 12 ### Verse 13 ### Verse 14 ### Verse 15 ### Verse 16 ### Verse 17 ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 ### Verse 20 ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 ### Verse 25 ### Verse 26 ## Chapter 18 ### Verse 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. ### Verse 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. ### Verse 3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. ### Verse 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, ### Verse 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. ### Verse 6 When therefore he said to them, they went backward and fell to the ground. ### Verse 7 Again therefore he asked them, They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” ### Verse 8 Jesus answered, ### Verse 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, ### Verse 10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. ### Verse 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, ### Verse 12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him, ### Verse 13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ### Verse 14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people. ### Verse 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; ### Verse 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. ### Verse 17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.” ### Verse 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself. ### Verse 19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. ### Verse 20 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 21 ### Verse 22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?” ### Verse 23 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. ### Verse 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” ### Verse 26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” ### Verse 27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed. ### Verse 28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. ### Verse 29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” ### Verse 30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.” ### Verse 31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,” ### Verse 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die. ### Verse 33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” ### Verse 34 Jesus answered him, ### Verse 35 Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?” ### Verse 36 Jesus answered, ### Verse 37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, ### Verse 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him. ### Verse 39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” ### Verse 40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. ## Chapter 19 ### Verse 1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him. ### Verse 2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. ### Verse 3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him. ### Verse 4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” ### Verse 5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!” ### Verse 6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.” ### Verse 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.” ### Verse 8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. ### Verse 9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. ### Verse 10 Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?” ### Verse 11 Jesus answered, ### Verse 12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!” ### Verse 13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.” ### Verse 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!” ### Verse 15 They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” ### Verse 16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. ### Verse 17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”, ### Verse 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. ### Verse 19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” ### Verse 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. ### Verse 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’” ### Verse 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” ### Verse 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ### Verse 24 Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things. ### Verse 25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ### Verse 26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, ### Verse 27 Then he said to the disciple, From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home. ### Verse 28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, ### Verse 29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth. ### Verse 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. ### Verse 31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. ### Verse 32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him; ### Verse 33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. ### Verse 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. ### Verse 35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. ### Verse 36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.” ### Verse 37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.” ### Verse 38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. ### Verse 39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. ### Verse 40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. ### Verse 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. ### Verse 42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there. ## Chapter 20 ### Verse 1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. ### Verse 2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!” ### Verse 3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb. ### Verse 4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. ### Verse 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in. ### Verse 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, ### Verse 7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. ### Verse 8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. ### Verse 9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. ### Verse 10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes. ### Verse 11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, ### Verse 12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ### Verse 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.” ### Verse 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus. ### Verse 15 Jesus said to her, She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” ### Verse 16 Jesus said to her, She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!” ### Verse 17 Jesus said to her, ### Verse 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her. ### Verse 19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, ### Verse 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. ### Verse 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, ### Verse 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ### Verse 23 ### Verse 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came. ### Verse 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” ### Verse 26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, ### Verse 27 Then he said to Thomas, ### Verse 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” ### Verse 29 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; ### Verse 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name. ## Chapter 21 ### Verse 1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. ### Verse 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. ### Verse 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. ### Verse 4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus. ### Verse 5 Jesus therefore said to them, They answered him, “No.” ### Verse 6 He said to them, They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. ### Verse 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. ### Verse 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish. ### Verse 9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it. ### Verse 10 Jesus said to them, ### Verse 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn. ### Verse 12 Jesus said to them, None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord. ### Verse 13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. ### Verse 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. ### Verse 15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, ### Verse 16 He said to him again a second time, He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, ### Verse 17 He said to him the third time, Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, ### Verse 18 ### Verse 19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, ### Verse 20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?” ### Verse 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” ### Verse 22 Jesus said to him, ### Verse 23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, ### Verse 24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. ### Verse 25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
