\v 6 There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
\v 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
\v 8 John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
\s5
\v 9 The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
\s5
\v 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
\v 11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
\s5
\v 12 But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
\v 13 These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
\s5
\v 14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
\v 15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'"
\v 32 John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit coming down like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
\v 33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'
\v 38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which is translated "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"
\v 43 The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
\v 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
\v 45 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, "He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
\s5
\v 46 Nathaniel said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
\v 47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, "See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!"
\v 48 Nathaniel said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
\s5
\v 49 Nathaniel replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
\v 50 Jesus replied and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this."
\v 51 Then he said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
\v 1 Three days later, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
\v 2 Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
\s5
\v 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
\v 4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why do you come to me? My time has not yet come."
\v 5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
\s5
\v 6 Now there were six stone water pots there used for the Jewish ceremonial washing, each containing two to three metretes.
\v 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.
\v 8 Then he told the servants, "Take some out now and take it to the head waiter." So they did.
\s5
\v 9 The head waiter tasted the water that had become wine, but he did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew). Then he called the bridegroom
\v 10 and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first and then the cheaper wine when they are drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now."
\s5
\v 11 This first sign Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
\s5
\v 12 After this Jesus, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and they stayed there for a few days.
\s5
\p
\v 13 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
\v 15 So he made a whip of cords and drove all of them out from the temple, including both the sheep and the cattle. He scattered the coins of the money changers and turned their tables over.
\v 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the scripture and this statement that Jesus had spoken.
\v 1 Now there was a Pharisee whose name was Nicodemus, a Jewish leader.
\v 2 This man came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher that came from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."
\s5
\v 3 Jesus replied to him, "Truly, truly, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
\v 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"
\s5
\v 5 Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
\v 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
\s5
\v 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
\v 8 The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
\v 18 He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
\v 19 This is the reason for the judgment: The light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
\v 21 However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done in God."
\s5
\p
\v 22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. There he spent some time with them and baptized.
\v 23 Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there. People were coming to him and were being baptized,
\v 24 for John had not yet been thrown in prison.
\s5
\v 25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew about ceremonial washing.
\v 26 They went to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and they are all going to him."
\s5
\v 27 John replied, "A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
\v 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but instead, 'I have been sent before him.'
\s5
\v 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. Now the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the voice of the bridegroom. This, then, is my joy made complete.
\v 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
\s5
\p
\v 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
\v 32 He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
\v 33 He who has received his testimony has confirmed that God is true.
\s5
\v 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure.
\v 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
\v 36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God stays on him."
\v 1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
\v 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
\v 3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
\s5
\v 4 But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
\v 5 So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
\s5
\v 6 The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
\v 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."
\v 8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
\s5
\v 9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
\v 10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
\s5
\v 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?
\v 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will not ever be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life."
\v 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."
\s5
\v 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
\v 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship."
\s5
\v 21 Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
\v 22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
\s5
\v 23 However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
\v 24 God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
\s5
\v 25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
\v 26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one speaking to you."
\v 27 At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"
\v 28 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
\v 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?"
\v 30 They left the town and came to him.
\s5
\v 31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
\v 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
\v 33 So the disciples said to each other, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
\v 35 Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
\v 39 Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, "He told me everything that I have done."
\v 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
\v 42 They said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the Savior of the world."
\v 45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
\v 3 A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there. \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have the phrase, \fqa waiting for the moving of the water \fqa*. \f*
\v 4 \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have verse 4, \fqa For an angel of the Lord went down and stirred up the water at certain times and whoever stepped in while the water was stirring was healed from whatever disease he suffered from \fqa*. \f*
\v 5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
\v 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healthy?"
\s5
\v 7 The sick man replied, "Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps down before me."
\v 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, take up your bed, and walk."
\s5
\v 9 Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
\p Now that day was a Sabbath.
\s5
\v 10 So the Jews said to him who was healed, "It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat."
\v 11 He replied, "He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
\s5
\v 12 They asked him, "Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?"
\v 13 However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was a crowd in the place.
\s5
\v 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not happen to you."
\v 15 The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.
\s5
\v 16 Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
\v 17 Jesus replied to them, "My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working."
\v 18 Because of this, the Jews sought even more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
\v 19 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does in the same way.
\v 20 For the Father loves the Son and he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.
\v 22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son
\v 23 so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
\s5
\v 24 Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has passed from death to life.
\s5
\v 25 Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
\s5
\v 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,
\v 27 and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 28 Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will hear his voice
\v 30 I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.
\v 31 If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.
\v 32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
\s5
\v 33 You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.
\v 34 But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
\v 35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.
\s5
\v 36 Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me that the Father has sent me.
\v 37 The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
\v 38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
\s5
\v 39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me,
\v 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
\v 11 Then Jesus took the loaves and after giving thanks, he gave it to those who were sitting. He did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.
\v 12 When the people were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing will be lost."
\s5
\v 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
\v 14 Then, when the people saw this sign that he did, they said, "This truly is the prophet who is to come into the world."
\v 15 When Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him by force to make him king, he withdrew again up the mountain by himself.
\s5
\p
\v 16 When it became evening, his disciples went down to the sea.
\v 17 They got into a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was dark by this time, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
\v 18 A strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough.
\s5
\v 19 When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
\v 20 But he said to them, "It is I! Do not be afraid."
\v 21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land where they were going.
\s5
\p
\v 22 The next day, the crowd that had been standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that his disciples had gone away alone.
\v 23 However, there were some boats that came from Tiberias close to the place where they had eaten the bread loaves after the Lord had given thanks.
\s5
\v 24 When the crowd discovered that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
\v 25 After they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
\s5
\v 26 Jesus replied to them, saying, "Truly, truly, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate some of the bread loaves and were filled.
\v 27 Do not labor for the food that perishes, but labor for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has set his seal on him."
\v 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, so that we may do the works of God?"
\v 29 Jesus replied and said to them, "This is the work of God: That you believe in the one whom he has sent."
\s5
\v 30 So they said to him, "What sign then will you do, so that we may see and believe you? What will you do?
\v 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
\s5
\v 32 Then Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.
\v 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
\v 34 So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
\s5
\v 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
\v 36 But I told you that indeed you have seen me, and you do not believe.
\v 37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will certainly not throw out.
\s5
\v 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
\v 39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I would lose not one of all those whom he has given me, but will raise them up on the last day.
\v 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him would have eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day."
\s5
\p
\v 41 Then the Jews grumbled about him because he had said, "I am the bread that has come down from heaven."
\v 42 They said, "Is not this Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"
\s5
\v 43 Jesus replied and said to them, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.
\v 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
\v 45 It is written in the prophets, 'Everyone will be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
\s5
\v 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God—he has seen the Father.
\v 47 Truly, truly, he who believes has eternal life.
\s5
\v 48 I am the bread of life.
\v 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
\s5
\v 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat some of it and not die.
\v 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats some of this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
\s5
\p
\v 52 The Jews became angry among themselves and began to argue, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
\v 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.
\s5
\v 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
\v 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
\v 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
\s5
\v 57 As the living Father sent me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats me, he will also live because of me.
\v 58 This is the bread that has come down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
\v 59 But Jesus said these things in the synagogue while he was teaching in Capernaum.
\v 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who were the ones that would not believe and who it was who would betray him.
\v 65 He said, "It is because of this that I said to you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father."
\s5
\p
\v 66 Because of this, many of his disciples went away and no longer walked with him.
\v 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
\v 69 and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God." \f + \ft The phrase \fqa the Holy One of God \fqa* is in the best ancient copies. Some later copies add an additional description and they read: \fqa the Christ, the Holy One of God \fqa* . \f*
\v 5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
\v 6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
\v 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
\s5
\v 8 You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled."
\v 9 After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
\s5
\p
\v 10 But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.
\v 11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, "Where is he?"
\s5
\v 12 There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "No, he leads the crowds astray."
\v 13 Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.
\s5
\p
\v 14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
\v 15 Then the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this man know so much? He has never been educated."
\v 16 Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.
\s5
\v 17 If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
\v 18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
\s5
\v 19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?"
\v 20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
\s5
\v 21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
\v 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
\s5
\v 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
\v 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteously."
\s5
\p
\v 25 Some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is not this the one they seek to kill?
\v 26 See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?
\v 27 Yet we know where this one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
\s5
\v 28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
\v 29 I know him because I come from him and he sent me."
\s5
\v 30 They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
\v 31 But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?"
\v 32 The Pharisees heard the crowds whispering these things about Jesus, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
\s5
\v 33 Jesus then said, "I am still with you for a short amount of time, and then I go to him who sent me.
\v 34 You will seek me but you will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come."
\s5
\v 35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go to the dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
\v 36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me but will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come'?"
\s5
\p
\v 37 Now on the last, great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
\v 39 But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
\s5
\v 40 Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, "This is indeed the prophet."
\v 41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Does the Christ come from Galilee?
\v 42 Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
\s5
\v 43 So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.
\v 44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
\v 46 The officers answered, "Never has anyone spoken like this."
\s5
\v 47 So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?
\v 48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
\v 49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed."
\s5
\v 50 Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,
\v 51 "Does our law judge a man before hearing from him and knowing what he does?"
\v 52 They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
\v 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?"
\v 6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
\v 7 When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, "The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
\v 12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life."
\v 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
\v 19 They said to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also."
\v 20 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
\s5
\p
\v 21 So again he said to them, "I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
\v 22 The Jews said, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"
\s5
\v 23 Jesus said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
\v 24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
\s5
\v 25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I have said to you from the beginning.
\v 26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world."
\v 27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
\s5
\v 28 Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
\v 29 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him."
\v 30 As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
\s5
\p
\v 31 Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
\v 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
\v 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
\v 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
\v 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
\s5
\v 37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
\v 38 I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father."
\s5
\v 39 They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
\v 40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
\v 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God."
\s5
\v 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
\v 43 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
\v 44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
\s5
\v 45 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
\v 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
\v 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God."
\s5
\v 48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
\v 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
\s5
\v 50 I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
\v 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
\s5
\v 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
\v 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
\s5
\v 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.
\v 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
\v 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
\s5
\v 57 The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?"
\v 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
\v 59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
\v 8 Then the man's neighbors and those who had seen him previously as a beggar were saying, "Is not this the man that used to sit and beg?"
\v 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." But he said, "It is me."
\s5
\v 10 They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
\v 11 He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received my sight."
\v 12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He replied, "I do not know."
\s5
\p
\v 13 They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.
\v 14 Now it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
\v 15 Then again the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I now can see."
\s5
\v 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" So there was a division among them.
\v 17 So they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, since he opened your eyes?" The blind man said, "He is a prophet."
\v 18 Now the Jews still did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of him who had received his sight.
\s5
\v 19 They asked the parents, "Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
\v 20 So his parents answered them, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
\v 21 How he now sees, we do not know, and who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him, he is an adult. He can speak for himself."
\s5
\v 22 His parents said these things, because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess him to be the Christ, he would be thrown out of the synagogue.
\v 23 Because of this, his parents said, "He is an adult, ask him."
\s5
\v 24 So for a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
\v 25 Then that man replied, "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."
\s5
\v 26 Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
\v 27 He answered, "I have told you already, and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples too, do you?
\s5
\v 28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
\v 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from."
\s5
\v 30 The man answered and said to them, "This is remarkable, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.
\v 1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the gate into the sheep pen, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
\v 2 He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
\s5
\v 3 The gatekeeper opens for him. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
\v 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
\s5
\v 5 They will not follow a stranger but instead they will avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
\v 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
\s5
\p
\v 7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
\v 8 Everyone who came before me is a thief and a robber, but the sheep did not listen to them.
\s5
\v 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
\v 12 The hired servant is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep. He sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
\v 13 He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
\s5
\v 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
\v 15 The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
\v 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
\s5
\v 17 This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life so that I may take it again.
\v 18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."
\s5
\p
\v 19 A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
\v 20 Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
\v 21 Others said, "These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
\v 24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, "How long will you hold us doubting? If you are the Christ, tell us openly."
\s5
\v 25 Jesus replied to them, "I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me.
\v 26 Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
\s5
\v 27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
\v 28 I give them eternal life; they will never die, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
\s5
\v 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the hand of the Father.
\v 30 I and the Father are one."
\v 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
\s5
\v 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?"
\v 33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God."
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?
\v 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
\v 36 do you say to him whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
\s5
\v 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
\v 38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."
\v 39 They tried to seize him again, but he went away out of their hand.
\s5
\p
\v 40 He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and he stayed there.
\v 41 Many people came to him and they said, "John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true."
\v 4 When Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
\v 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
\v 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
\v 7 Then after this, he said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
\s5
\v 8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?"
\v 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
\s5
\v 10 However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him."
\v 11 He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep."
\s5
\v 12 The disciples therefore said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
\v 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
\v 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
\s5
\v 15 I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him."
\v 16 Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus."
\s5
\p
\v 17 When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
\v 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
\v 19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
\v 20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
\s5
\v 21 Martha then said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
\v 22 Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you."
\v 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
\s5
\v 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
\v 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
\v 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
\s5
\v 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world."
\v 28 When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."
\v 29 When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
\s5
\v 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
\v 31 So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
\v 32 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
\s5
\v 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
\v 34 he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."
\v 35 Jesus wept.
\s5
\v 36 Then the Jews said, "See how much he loved Lazarus!"
\v 37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?"
\s5
\v 38 Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
\v 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, "Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days."
\v 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
\s5
\v 41 So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
\v 42 I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me."
\s5
\v 43 After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
\v 44 The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
\v 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
\s5
\p
\v 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, "What will we do? This man does many signs.
\v 48 If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
\s5
\v 49 However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing.
\v 50 You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes."
\s5
\v 51 Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
\v 52 and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
\v 53 So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
\s5
\p
\v 54 No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
\v 55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
\s5
\v 56 They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?"
\v 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
\v 3 Then Mary took a litra of perfume made of very precious pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
\v 9 Now a large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, and they came, not only for Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
\v 10 The chief priests conspired together so that they might also put Lazarus to death;
\v 11 for it was because of him that many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 12 On the next day a great crowd came to the festival. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
\v 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
\v 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
\v 20 Now certain Greeks were among those who were going up to worship at the festival.
\v 21 These went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
\v 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip, and they told Jesus.
\s5
\v 23 Jesus answered them and said, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
\v 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it will bear much fruit.
\s5
\v 25 He who loves his life will lose it; but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
\v 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
\s5
\v 27 Now my soul is troubled and what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.
\v 28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven and said, "I have glorified it and I will glorify it again."
\v 29 Then the crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
\s5
\v 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come for me, but for you.
\v 31 Now is the judgment of this world: Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
\s5
\v 32 When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."
\v 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
\s5
\v 34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will stay forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
\v 35 Jesus then said to them, "The light will still be with you for a short amount of time. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
\v 36 While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may be sons of light."
\p Jesus said these things and then departed and hid from them.
\s5
\v 37 Although Jesus had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him
\v 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, in which he said:
\q "Lord, who has believed our report,
\q and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
\v 42 But despite that, many of the rulers believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees, they did not confess it so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.
\v 1 Now it was before the Festival of the Passover. Jesus knew that his hour had come to go out of this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
\v 13 You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are speaking correctly, because so I am.
\v 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash the feet of one another.
\v 15 For I have given you an example so that you should also do just as I did for you.
\s5
\v 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is a messenger greater than he who sent him.
\v 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
\v 18 I am not speaking about all of you; I know those whom I have chosen—but this so that the scripture will be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.'
\s5
\v 19 I tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
\v 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him who he is speaking about."
\v 25 So he leaned back against the side of Jesus and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
\s5
\v 26 Then Jesus answered, "It is the one for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him." So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
\v 27 Then after the bread, Satan entered into him, so Jesus said to him, "What you are doing, do it quickly."
\s5
\v 28 Now no one who was lying down at the table knew why he said this to him.
\v 29 Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus said to him, "Buy what we need to have for the festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
\v 30 After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately. It was night.
\v 33 Little children, I am with you for still a short amount of time. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I also say this to you.
\v 36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."
\v 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
\v 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times."
\v 9 Jesus said to him, "I have been with you for such a long time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
\v 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from my own authority, but the Father living in me is doing his work.
\v 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, or else believe because of the works themselves.
\s5
\v 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will do the works that I do, and he will do greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
\v 13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
\v 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
\s5
\v 15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments,
\v 16 and I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter so that he will be with you forever—
\v 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive him because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
\v 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you.
\s5
\v 21 He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and I will show myself to him."
\v 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Jesus, "Lord, why is it that you will show yourself to us and not to the world?"
\s5
\v 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and we will make our home with him.
\v 24 He who does not love me does not keep my words. The word that you hear is not from me but from the Father who sent me.
\v 25 I have said these things to you, while I am staying with you.
\v 26 However, the Comforter—the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and he will remind you of everything that I said to you.
\v 27 I leave you peace; I give you my peace. I do not give it as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid.
\v 28 You heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am.
\v 29 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you will believe.
\v 3 You are already clean because of the message that I have spoken to you.
\v 4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
\v 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.
\v 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up, and they gather the branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned up.
\v 7 If you remain in me, and if my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
\v 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
\v 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. This is so that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
\v 17 These things I command you, so that you love one another.
\s5
\v 18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
\v 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world and because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
\s5
\v 20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
\v 21 They will do all these things to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
\v 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
\s5
\v 23 He who hates me also hates my Father.
\v 24 If I had not done the works that no one else did among them, they would have no sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
\v 25 But this is in order to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
\v 26 When the Comforter comes—whom I will send to you from the Father, that is, the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.
\v 3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
\v 4 I have spoken these things to you so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you about these things in the beginning, because I was with you.
\v 7 But truly I tell you, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
\v 13 But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself. But he will say whatever he hears, and he will tell you things that are to come.
\v 14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
\s5
\v 15 Everything that the Father has is mine. Therefore, I said that the Spirit will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.
\v 16 In a short amount of time you will no longer see me, and after another short amount of time you will see me."
\s5
\v 17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A short amount of time you will no longer see me and after another short amount of time you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?"
\v 18 Therefore they said, "What is this that he says, 'A short amount of time'? We do not know what he is talking about."
\v 19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Is this what you are asking each other, what I meant by saying, 'In a short amount of time and you will no longer see me, and again in a short amount of time and you will see me'?
\v 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will be glad. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
\v 21 When a woman gives birth she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her tribulation because of her joy that a man has been born into the world.
\v 25 "I have said these things to you in figures of speech, but the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but instead I will tell you plainly about the Father.
\v 32 See, the hour is coming, yes, and has indeed come, when you will be scattered, everyone to his own home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.
\v 33 I have spoken these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have tribulation, but have courage, I have conquered the world."
\v 1 After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, "Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will glorify you—
\v 2 just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom you have given him.
\s5
\v 3 This is eternal life: That they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
\v 4 I glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you have given me to do.
\v 5 Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.
\s5
\v 6 I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
\v 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you,
\v 8 for I have given them all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
\s5
\v 9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
\v 10 Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and I am glorified in them.
\v 11 I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just as we are one.
\v 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe in your name, which you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.
\v 21 so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
\v 22 The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will be one, just as we are one:
\v 23 I in them, and you in me—that they may be brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you loved me.
\v 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
\v 1 After Jesus spoke these words, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the Kidron Brook, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.
\v 8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go."
\v 9 This was in order to fulfill the word that he said: "Of those whom you have given me, I lost no one."
\s5
\v 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.
\v 11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword back into its sheath. Should I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?"
\v 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest;
\v 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and he brought Peter in.
\v 17 Then the female servant, the doorkeeper, said to Peter, "Are you not also one of the disciples of this man?" He said, "I am not."
\v 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, and they had made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.
\v 19 The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
\v 20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
\v 21 Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. Look, these people know what I said."
\v 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. The people then said to him, "Are you not also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
\v 26 One of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
\v 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would be able to eat the Passover.
\v 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the government headquarters. It was early in the morning, and they did not enter the government headquarters so that they would not be defiled but would be able to eat the Passover.
\v 31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death."
\v 32 They said this so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled which he had spoken to indicate by what kind of death he would die.
\v 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, then my servants would fight so that I would not be given over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here."
\v 37 Pilate then said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this purpose I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
\v 10 Then Pilate said to him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?"
\v 11 Jesus answered him, "You do not have any authority over me except for what has been given to you from above. Therefore, he who gave me over to you has a greater sin."
\v 12 At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
\v 13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called "The Pavement," but in the Aramaic language, "Gabbatha."
\v 17 Then they took Jesus, and he went out, carrying the cross for himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which in the Aramaic language is called "Golgotha."
\v 20 Many of the Jews read this sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The sign was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
\v 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, divided them into four shares, one for each of them; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
\v 24 Then they said to each other, "Let us not tear it, but instead let us cast lots for it to decide whose it will be." This happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled which said,
\v 31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was especially important), asked Pilate to break their legs and to remove them.
\v 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
\v 33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
\v 38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
\v 1 Now early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb.
\v 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, "They took away the Lord out from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
\q She thought that he was the gardener, so she said to him, "Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."
\v 17 Jesus said to her, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I will go up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God."
\v 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them and said to them, "Peace to you."
\q He said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
\v 26 After eight days his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came while the doors were closed, and stood among them, and said, "Peace to you."
\v 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger and see my hands. Reach here with your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believe."
\v 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, signs that have not been written in this book,
\v 31 but these have been written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you would have life in his name.
\v 6 He said to them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw their net and were not able to draw it in because of the large number of fish.
\v 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied up his outer garment (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.
\v 8 The other disciples came in the boat (for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits off), and they were pulling the net full of fish.
\v 9 When they got out upon the land, they saw a charcoal fire there and fish laid on it, with bread.
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught."
\q Peter was sorrowful because Jesus had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you."
\v 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you become old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you and carry you where you will not want to go."
\v 20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had also leaned back against the side of Jesus at the dinner and who had said, "Lord, who is the one who will betray you?"
\v 21 Peter saw him and then said to Jesus, "Lord, what will this man do?"
\s5
\v 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you? Follow me."
\v 23 So this statement spread among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to Peter that the other disciple would not die, but, "If I want him to stay until I come, what is that to you?"
\s5
\p
\v 24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
\v 25 There are also many other things that Jesus did. If each one were written down, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
