The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

The Witness of John the Baptist

6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.

11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

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:

13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

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.

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.’”

16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

The Testimony of John

19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”

21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”

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?”

23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’\x + \xo 1:23 \xt Isaiah 40:3\x* as Isaiah the prophet said.”

24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Behold, the Lamb of God

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!

30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”

32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

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.’

34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

The First Disciples

35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,

36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

39 He said to them, \wj “\+w Come|strong=”G2064″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w see|strong=”G3708″\+w*.”\wj*

40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, \wj “Follow \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*.”\wj*

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

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.”

46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?”

48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?”

49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”

The Wedding at Cana

1 The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

2 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the wedding.

3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews’ way of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece.

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

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!”

11 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.

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.

17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”\x + \xo 2:17 \xt Psalms 69:9\x*

18 The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

20 The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

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.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

24 But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Jesus and Nicodemus

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

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.”

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?”

9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

John the Baptist Exalts Christ

22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.

23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;

24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.

25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.

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.”

27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

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.

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

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.

32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.

34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

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.”

John Chapter 4:1-54

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),

3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

4 He needed to pass through Samaria.

5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, \wj “\+w Give|strong=”G1325″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1325″\+w* \+w a|strong=”G1325″\+w* \+w drink|strong=”G4095″\+w*.”\wj*

8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

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.)

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?

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?”

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.”

17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.”

19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

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.”

The Fields Are White for Harvest

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?”

28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”

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.”

40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

41 Many more believed because of his word.

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.”

Jesus Heals an Official’s Son

43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

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.

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.

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.

49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”

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.”

53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, \wj “\+w Your|strong=”G3650″\+w* \+w son|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w lives|strong=”G2198″\+w*.”\wj* He believed, as did his whole house.

54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath

1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

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.

5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

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.”

9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.

10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

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.

Feeding the Five Thousand

1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”

10 Jesus said, \wj “\+w Have|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G1722″\+w* \+w people|strong=”G1510″\+w* sit down.”\wj* Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

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.

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.

14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”

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.

V12 Leftovers

Jesus Walks on Water

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.

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.

18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea\x + \xo 6:19 \xt See Job 9:8\x* and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

I Am the Bread of Life

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.

23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

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.

25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

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?

31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”\x + \xo 6:31 \xt Exodus 16:4; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalms 78:24-25\x*

34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”

43 Therefore Jesus answered them, \wj “Don’t \+w murmur|strong=”G1111″\+w* \+w among|strong=”G3326″\+w* yourselves. \wj*

52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

V28 Where does faith come from

Many Disciples Turn Back

60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”

66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.

68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

John Chapter 7:1-53

Jesus at the Feast of Booths

1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

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.

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.”

5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

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.”

13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Teaching in the Temple

14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

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?

27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

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?”

32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

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?

V16 Knowing and speaking what Jesus is saying

Rivers of Living Water

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.

40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David,\x + \xo 7:42 \xt 2 Samuel 7:12\x* and from Bethlehem,\x + \xo 7:42 \xt Micah 5:2\x* the village where David was?”

43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

Division Over Jesus

45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”\x + \xo 7:52 \xt See Isaiah 9:1; Matthew 4:13-16\x*

53 Everyone went to his own house,

The Woman Caught in Adultery

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

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.

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,

4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.\x + \xo 8:5 \xt Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22\x* What then do you say about her?”

6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.

8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

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.

11 She said, “No one, Lord.”

V1 Forgiveness needs to be followed by repentance

I Am the Light of the World

13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?”

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.

25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?”

27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

The Truth Will Set You Free

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, \wj ‘\+w You|strong=”G4771″\+w* \+w will|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w made|strong=”G1096″\+w* \+w free|strong=”G1658″\+w*’\wj*?”

39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.”

Before Abraham Was, I Am

48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”

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.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

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,

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.”

10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, \wj ‘\+w Go|strong=”G5217″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* pool \+w of|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Siloam|strong=”G4611″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w wash|strong=”G3538″\+w*.’\wj* So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?”

The Pharisees Investigate

13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

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.”

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.”

17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?”

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,

19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

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.”

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.

23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

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.”

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.”

26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

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?”

28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

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.\x + \xo 9:31 \xt Psalms 66:18; Proverbs 15:29; 28:9\x*

32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

Spiritual Blindness

36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

I Am the Good Shepherd

6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

20 Many of them said, “He has a demon and is insane! Why do you listen to him?”

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?”\x + \xo 10:21 \xt Exodus 4:11\x*

At the Feast of Dedication

22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

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.”

I and the Father Are One

31 Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

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.”

39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.

41 Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”

42 Many believed in him there.

John Chapter 11:1-57

The Death of Lazarus

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”

12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, \wj “\+w Lazarus|strong=”G2976″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* dead. \wj*

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

23 Jesus said to her, \wj “\+w Your|strong=”G3588″\+w* brother \+w will|strong=”G3004″\+w* rise again.”\wj*

24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

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.”

28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”

29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

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.”

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.”

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

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?”

Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

39 Jesus said, \wj “Take away \+w the|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w stone|strong=”G3037″\+w*.”\wj*

43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, \wj “\+w Lazarus|strong=”G2976″\+w*, \+w come|strong=”G1204″\+w* \+w out|strong=”G1854″\+w*!”\wj*

44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth.

The Plot to Kill Jesus

45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

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.”

49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

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.”

51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

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.

55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

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?”

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.

John Chapter 12:1-50

Mary Anoints Jesus

1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

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.

4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

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.

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.

10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry

12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

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,\x + \xo 12:13 \xt Psalms 118:25-26 \x* the King of Israel!”

14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”\x + \xo 12:15 \xt Zechariah 9:9\x*

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.

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.

18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

28 \wj \+w Father|strong=”G3962″\+w*, \+w glorify|strong=”G1392″\+w* \+w your|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w name|strong=”G3686″\+w*!”\wj*

29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever.\x + \xo 12:34 \xt Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44; See Isaiah 53:8\x* How do you say, \wj ‘\+w The|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Son|strong=”G5207″\+w* \+w of|strong=”G1537″\+w* \+w Man|strong=”G3778″\+w* \+w must|strong=”G1163″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w lifted|strong=”G5312″\+w* \+w up|strong=”G1210″\+w*’\wj*? Who is this Son of Man?”

Unbelief Among the People

37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:

40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,

41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. \x + \xo 12:41 \xt Isaiah 6:1\x*

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,

43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

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.

2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.

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.

6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”

8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!”

9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

One of You Will Betray Me

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him.

28 Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.

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.

30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

The Arrest of Jesus

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.

2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

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.

5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

6 When therefore he said to them, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G1473″\+w* \+w am|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w he|strong=”G2532″\+w*,”\wj* they went backward and fell to the ground.

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.

Jesus Before Annas

12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,

13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Peter Denies Jesus

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;

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.

17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?”

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.

19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

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?”

24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?”

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?”

27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

Jesus Before Pilate

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.

29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”

30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.”

32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

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?”

37 Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?”

38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

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?”

40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus Scourged and Mocked

1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.

2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

3 They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

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.”

5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!”

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.”

8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

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?”

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!”

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.”

14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

15 They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!”

The Crucifixion

16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.

19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

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.

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.”’”

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

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.

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,

25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, \wj “\+w Woman|strong=”G1135″\+w*, \+w behold|strong=”G2396″\+w*, \+w your|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w son|strong=”G5207″\+w*!” \wj*

27 Then he said to the disciple, \wj “\+w Behold|strong=”G2396″\+w*, \+w your|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w mother|strong=”G3384″\+w*!”\wj* From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, \wj “\+w I|strong=”G3754″\+w* \+w am|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w thirsty|strong=”G1372″\+w*!”\wj*

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.

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, \wj “\+w It|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w is|strong=”G3588″\+w* \+w finished|strong=”G5055″\+w*!”\wj* Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

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.

32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;

33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”\x + \xo 19:36 \xt Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalms 34:20 \x*

37 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”\x + \xo 19:37 \xt Zechariah 12:10\x*

V28 Jesus Christ on the cross
V30 It is finished

The Burial of Jesus

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.

39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

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.

42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

The Resurrection

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.

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!”

3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.

6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

V9 Hidden Truth revealed

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

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.

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

16 Jesus said to her, \wj “\+w Mary|strong=”G3137″\+w*.”\wj*

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

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, \wj “\+w Peace|strong=”G1515″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*.”\wj*

20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, \wj “\+w Receive|strong=”G2983″\+w* \+w the|strong=”G2532″\+w* \+w Holy|strong=”G4151″\+w* \+w Spirit|strong=”G4151″\+w*! \wj*

Jesus and Thomas

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!”

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, \wj “\+w Peace|strong=”G1515″\+w* \+w be|strong=”G1510″\+w* \+w to|strong=”G1519″\+w* \+w you|strong=”G5210″\+w*.”\wj*

28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

The Purpose of This Book

30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

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.

Jesus Appears by the Sea of Tiberias

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.”

4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”

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.

9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.

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.

12 Jesus said to them, \wj “\+w Come|strong=”G1205″\+w* \+w and|strong=”G1161″\+w* eat breakfast!”\wj*

13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.

Jesus Restores Peter

19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, \wj “\+w Follow|strong=”G1161″\+w* \+w me|strong=”G1473″\+w*.”\wj*

The Beloved Disciple

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?”

21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

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.
