Chapter 1

The Deity of Jesus Christ

In the beginning 746 was the Word 3056, and the Word 3056 was with God 2316, and the Word 3056 was God 2316.
2 He was in the beginning 746 with God 2316.
3 All 3956 things 3956 came 1096 into being 1096 through 1223 Him, and apart 5565 from Him nothing came 1096 into being 1096 that has come 1096 into being 1096.
4 In Him was life 2222, and the life 2222 was the Light 5457 of men 444.
5 The Light 5457 shines 5316 in the darkness 4653, and the darkness 4653 did not comprehend 2638 it.

The Witness John

¶ There came 1096 a man 444 sent 649 from God 2316, whose 846 name 3686 was John 2491.
7 He came 2064 as a witness 3141, to testify 3140 about 4012 the Light 5457, so 2443 that all 3956 might believe 4100 through 1223 him.
8 He was not the Light 5457, but {he came} to testify 3140 about 4012 the Light 5457.
9 ¶ There was the true 228 Light 5457 which 3739, coming 2064 into the world 2889, enlightens 5461 every 3956 man 444.
10 He was in the world 2889, and the world 2889 was made 1096 through 1223 Him, and the world 2889 did not know 1097 Him.
11 He came 2064 to His own 2398, and those 3588 who were His own 2398 did not receive 3880 Him.
12 But as many 3745 as received 2983 Him, to them He gave 1325 the right 1849 to become 1096 children 5043 of God 2316, {even} to those 3588 who believe 4100 in His name 3686,
13 who 3739 were born 1080, not of blood 129 nor 3761 of the will 2307 of the flesh 4561 nor 3761 of the will 2307 of man 435, but of God 2316.
14

The Word Made Flesh

¶ And the Word 3056 became 1096 flesh 4561, and dwelt 4637 among 1722 us, and we saw 2300 His glory 1391, glory 1391 as of the only 3439 begotten 3439 from the Father 3962, full 4134 of grace 5485 and truth 225.
15 John 2491 testified 3140 about 4012 Him and cried 2896 out, saying 3004, "This 3778 was He of whom 3739 I said 3004, 'He who comes 2064 after 3694 me has 1096 a higher 1715 rank 1715 than I, for He existed 1510 before 4413 me.'"
16 For of His fullness 4138 we have all 3956 received 2983, and grace 5485 upon grace 5485.
17 For the Law 3551 was given 1325 through 1223 Moses 3475; grace 5485 and truth 225 were realized 1096 through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
18 No 3762 one 3762 has seen 3708 God 2316 at any 4455 time 4455; the only 3439 begotten 3439 God 2316 who is in the bosom 2859 of the Father 3962, He has explained 1834 {Him.}
19

The Testimony of John

¶ This 3778 is the testimony 3141 of John 2491, when 3753 the Jews 2453 sent 649 to him priests 2409 and Levites 3019 from Jerusalem 2414 to ask 2065 him, "Who 5101 are you?"
20 And he confessed 3670 and did not deny 720, but confessed 3670, "I am 1510 not the Christ 5547."
21 They asked 2065 him, "What 5101 then 3767? Are you Elijah 2243?" And he said 3004, "I am 1510 not." "Are you the Prophet 4396?" And he answered 611, "No 3756."
22 Then 3767 they said 3004 to him, "Who 5101 are you, so 2443 that we may give 1325 an answer 612 to those 3588 who sent 3992 us? What 5101 do you say 3004 about 4012 yourself 4572?"
23 He said 5346, "I am A VOICE 5456 OF ONE CRYING 994 IN THE WILDERNESS 2048, 'MAKE 2116 STRAIGHT 2116 THE WAY 3598 OF THE LORD 2962,' as Isaiah 2268 the prophet 4396 said 3004."
24 ¶ Now 2532 they had been 1510 sent 649 from the Pharisees 5330.
25 They asked 2065 him, and said 3004 to him, "Why 5101 then 3767 are you baptizing 907, if 1487 you are not the Christ 5547, nor 3761 Elijah 2243, nor 3761 the Prophet 4396?"
26 John 2491 answered 611 them saying 3004, "I baptize 907 in water 5204, {but} among 3319 you stands 4739 One whom 3739 you do not know 3609.
27 "{It is} He who comes 2064 after 3694 me, the thong 2438 of whose 3739 sandal 5266 I am 1510 not worthy 514 to untie 3089."
28 These 3778 things 3778 took 1096 place 1096 in Bethany 963 beyond 4008 the Jordan 2446, where 3699 John 2491 was baptizing 907.
29 ¶ The next 1887 day 1887 he saw 991 Jesus 2424 coming 2064 to him and said 3004, "Behold 2396, the Lamb 286 of God 2316 who takes 142 away 142 the sin 266 of the world 2889!
30 "This 3778 is He on behalf 5228 of whom 3739 I said 3004, 'After 3694 me comes 2064 a Man 435 who 3739 has 1096 a higher 1715 rank 1715 than I, for He existed 1510 before 4413 me.'
31 "I did not recognize 3609 Him, but so 2443 that He might be manifested 5319 to Israel 2474, I came 2064 baptizing 907 in water 5204."
32 John 2491 testified 3140 saying 3004, "I have seen 2300 the Spirit 4151 descending 2597 as a dove 4058 out of heaven 3772, and He remained 3306 upon Him.
33 "I did not recognize 3609 Him, but He who sent 3992 me to baptize 907 in water 5204 said 3004 to me, 'He upon whom 3739 you see 3708 the Spirit 4151 descending 2597 and remaining 3306 upon Him, this 3778 is the One who baptizes 907 in the Holy 40 Spirit 4151.'
34 "I myself 1473 have seen 3708, and have testified 3140 that this 3778 is the Son 5207 of God 2316."

Jesus' Public Ministry, First Converts

¶ Again 3825 the next 1887 day 1887 John 2491 was standing 2476 with two 1417 of his disciples 3101,
36 and he looked 1689 at Jesus 2424 as He walked 4043, and said 3004, "Behold 2396, the Lamb 286 of God 2316!"
37 The two 1417 disciples 3101 heard 191 him speak 2980, and they followed 190 Jesus 2424.
38 And Jesus 2424 turned 4762 and saw 2300 them following 190, and said 3004 to them, "What 5101 do you seek 2212?" They said 3004 to Him, "Rabbi 4461 (which 3739 translated 3177 means 3004 Teacher 1320), where 4226 are You staying 3306?"
39 He said 3004 to them, "Come 2064, and you will see 3708." So 3767 they came 2064 and saw 3708 where 4226 He was staying 3306; and they stayed 3306 with Him that day 2250, for it was about 5613 the tenth 1182 hour 5610.
40 One 1520 of the two 1417 who heard 191 John 2491 {speak} and followed 190 Him, was Andrew 406, Simon 4613 Peter's 4074 brother 80.
41 He found 2147 first 4413 his own 2398 brother 80 Simon 4613 and said 3004 to him, "We have found 2147 the Messiah 3323" (which 3739 translated 3177 means 1510 Christ 5547).
42 He brought 71 him to Jesus 2424. Jesus 2424 looked 1689 at him and said 3004, "You are Simon 4613 the son 5207 of John 2491; you shall be called 2564 Cephas 2786" (which 3739 is translated 2059 Peter 4074).
43 ¶ The next 1887 day 1887 He purposed 2309 to go 1831 into Galilee 1056, and He found 2147 Philip 5376. And Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Follow 190 Me."
44 Now 1161 Philip 5376 was from Bethsaida 966, of the city 4172 of Andrew 406 and Peter 4074.
45 Philip 5376 found 2147 Nathanael 3482 and said 3004 to him, "We have found 2147 Him of whom 3739 Moses 3475 in the Law 3551 and {also} the Prophets 4396 wrote 1125--Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3478, the son 5207 of Joseph 2501."
46 Nathanael 3482 said 3004 to him, "Can 1410 any 5100 good 18 thing 18 come 1510 out of Nazareth 3478?" Philip 5376 said 3004 to him, "Come 2064 and see 3708."
47 Jesus 2424 saw 3708 Nathanael 3482 coming 2064 to Him, and said 3004 of him, "Behold 2396, an Israelite 2475 indeed 230, in whom 3739 there 1510 is no 3756 deceit 1388!"
48 Nathanael 3482 said 3004 to Him, "How 4159 do You know 1097 me?" Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "Before 4253 Philip 5376 called 5455 you, when you were under 5259 the fig 4808 tree 4808, I saw 3708 you."
49 Nathanael 3482 answered 611 Him, "Rabbi 4461, You are the Son 5207 of God 2316; You are the King 935 of Israel 2474."
50 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "Because 3754 I said 3004 to you that I saw 3708 you under 5270 the fig 4808 tree 4808, do you believe 4100? You will see 3708 greater 3173 things 3173 than these 3778."
51 And He said 3004 to him, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, you will see 3708 the heavens 3772 opened 455 and the angels 32 of God 2316 ascending 305 and descending 2597 on the Son 5207 of Man 444."

Miracle at Cana

On the third 5154 day 2250 there was a wedding 1062 in Cana 2580 of Galilee 1056, and the mother 3384 of Jesus 2424 was there 1563;
2 and both 2532 Jesus 2424 and His disciples 3101 were invited 2564 to the wedding 1062.
3 When the wine 3631 ran 5302 out, the mother 3384 of Jesus 2424 said 3004 to Him, "They have 2192 no 3756 wine 3631."
4 And Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Woman 1135, what 5101 does that have to do with us? My hour 5610 has 2240 not yet 3768 come 2240."
5 His mother 3384 said 3004 to the servants 1249, "Whatever He says 3004 to you, do 4160 it."
6 Now 1161 there were six 1803 stone 3035 waterpots 5201 set 2749 there 1563 for the Jewish 2453 custom of purification 2512, containing 5562 twenty 1417 or 2228 thirty 5140 gallons 3355 each 303.
7 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Fill 1072 the waterpots 5201 with water 5204." So 2532 they filled 1072 them up to the brim 507.
8 And He said 3004 to them, "Draw 501 {some} out now 3568 and take 5342 it to the headwaiter 755." So 1161 they took 5342 it {to him.}
9 When 5613 the headwaiter 755 tasted 1089 the water 5204 which had become 1096 wine 3631, and did not know 3609 where 4159 it came 1510 from (but the servants 1249 who had drawn 501 the water 5204 knew 3609), the headwaiter 755 called 5455 the bridegroom 3566,
10 and said 3004 to him, "Every 3956 man 444 serves 5087 the good 2570 wine 3631 first 4413, and when 3752 {the people} have drunk 3184 freely 3184, {then he serves} the poorer 1640 {wine;} {but} you have kept 5083 the good 2570 wine 3631 until 2193 now 737."
11 This 3778 beginning 746 of {His} signs 4592 Jesus 2424 did 4160 in Cana 2580 of Galilee 1056, and manifested 5319 His glory 1391, and His disciples 3101 believed 4100 in Him.
12 ¶ After 3326 this 3778 He went 2597 down 2597 to Capernaum 2746, He and His mother 3384 and {His} brothers 80 and His disciples 3101; and they stayed 3306 there 1563 a few days 2250.

First Passover--Cleansing the Temple

The Passover 3957 of the Jews 2453 was near 1451, and Jesus 2424 went 305 up to Jerusalem 2414.
14 And He found 2147 in the temple 2413 those 3588 who were selling 4453 oxen 1016 and sheep 4263 and doves 4058, and the money 2773 changers 2773 seated 2521 {at their tables.}
15 And He made 4160 a scourge 5416 of cords 4979, and drove 1544 {them} all 3956 out of the temple 2413, with the sheep 4263 and the oxen 1016; and He poured 1632 out the coins 2772 of the money 2855 changers 2855 and overturned 396 their tables 5132;
16 and to those 3588 who were selling 4453 the doves 4058 He said 3004, "Take 142 these 3778 things 3778 away 142; stop 3361 making 4160 My Father's 3962 house 3624 a place 3624 of business 1712."
17 His disciples 3101 remembered 3403 that it was written 1125, "ZEAL 2205 FOR YOUR HOUSE 3624 WILL CONSUME 2719 ME."
18 The Jews 2453 then 3767 said 3004 to Him, "What 5101 sign 4592 do You show 1166 us as your authority for doing 4160 these 3778 things 3778?"
19 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "Destroy 3089 this 3778 temple 3485, and in three 5140 days 2250 I will raise 1453 it up."
20 The Jews 2453 then 3767 said 3004, "It took forty-six years 2094 to build 3618 this 3778 temple 3485, and will You raise 1453 it up in three 5140 days 2250?"
21 But He was speaking 3004 of the temple 3485 of His body 4983.
22 So 3767 when 3753 He was raised 1453 from the dead 3498, His disciples 3101 remembered 3403 that He said 3004 this 3778; and they believed 4100 the Scripture 1124 and the word 3056 which 3739 Jesus 2424 had spoken 3004.
23 ¶ Now 1161 when 5613 He was in Jerusalem 2414 at the Passover 3957, during 1722 the feast 1859, many 4183 believed 4100 in His name 3686, observing 2334 His signs 4592 which 3739 He was doing 4160.
24 But Jesus 2424, on His part 846, was not entrusting 4100 Himself 846 to them, for He knew 1097 all 3956 men 3956,
25 and because 3754 He did not need 5532 anyone 5100 to testify 3140 concerning 4012 man 444, for He Himself 846 knew 1097 what 5101 was in man 444.

The New Birth

Now 1161 there was a man 444 of the Pharisees 5330, named 3686 Nicodemus 3530, a ruler 758 of the Jews 2453;
2 this 3778 man 3778 came 2064 to Jesus by night 3571 and said 3004 to Him, "Rabbi 4461, we know 3609 that You have come 2064 from God 2316 {as} a teacher 1320; for no 3762 one 3762 can 1410 do 4160 these 3778 signs 4592 that You do 4160 unless God 2316 is with him."
3 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, unless one 5100 is born 1080 again 509 he cannot see 3708 the kingdom 932 of God 2316."
4 ¶ Nicodemus 3530 said 3004 to Him, "How 4459 can 1410 a man 444 be born 1080 when he is old 1088? He cannot enter 1525 a second 1208 time 1208 into his mother's 3384 womb 2836 and be born 1080, can he?"
5 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, unless one 5100 is born 1080 of water 5204 and the Spirit 4151 he cannot enter 1525 into the kingdom 932 of God 2316.
6 "That which is born 1080 of the flesh 4561 is flesh 4561, and that which is born 1080 of the Spirit 4151 is spirit 4151.
7 "Do not be amazed 2296 that I said 3004 to you, 'You must 1163 be born 1080 again 509.'
8 "The wind 4151 blows 4154 where 3699 it wishes 2309 and you hear 191 the sound 5456 of it, but do not know 3609 where 4159 it comes 2064 from and where 4226 it is going 5217; so 3779 is everyone 3956 who is born 1080 of the Spirit 4151."
9 ¶ Nicodemus 3530 said 3004 to Him, "How 4459 can 1410 these 3778 things 3778 be?"
10 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "Are you the teacher 1320 of Israel 2474 and do not understand 1097 these 3778 things 3778?
11 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, we speak 2980 of what 3754 we know 3609 and testify 3140 of what 3739 we have seen 3708, and you do not accept 2983 our testimony 3140.
12 "If 1487 I told 3004 you earthly 1919 things 1919 and you do not believe 4100, how 4459 will you believe 4100 if 1437 I tell 3004 you heavenly 2032 things 2032?
13 "No 3762 one 3762 has ascended 305 into heaven 3772, but He who descended 2597 from heaven 3772: the Son 5207 of Man 444.
14 "As Moses 3475 lifted 5312 up the serpent 3789 in the wilderness 2048, even so 3779 must 1163 the Son 5207 of Man 444 be lifted 5312 up;
15 so 2443 that whoever 3956 believes 4100 will in Him have 2192 eternal 166 life 2222.
16 ¶ "For God 2316 so 3779 loved 25 the world 2889, that He gave 1325 His only 3439 begotten 3439 Son 5207, that whoever 3956 believes 4100 in Him shall not perish 622, but have 2192 eternal 166 life 2222.
17 "For God 2316 did not send 649 the Son 5207 into the world 2889 to judge 2919 the world 2889, but that the world 2889 might be saved 4982 through 1223 Him.
18 "He who believes 4100 in Him is not judged 2919; he who does not believe 4100 has been judged 2919 already 2235, because 3754 he has not believed 4100 in the name 3686 of the only 3439 begotten 3439 Son 5207 of God 2316.
19 "This 3778 is the judgment 2920, that the Light 5457 has come 2064 into the world 2889, and men 444 loved 25 the darkness 4655 rather 3123 than 2228 the Light 5457, for their deeds 2041 were evil 4190.
20 "For everyone 3956 who does 4238 evil 5337 hates 3404 the Light 5457, and does not come 2064 to the Light 5457 for fear that his deeds 2041 will be exposed 1651.
21 "But he who practices 4160 the truth 225 comes 2064 to the Light 5457, so 2443 that his deeds 2041 may be manifested 5319 as having been 1510 wrought 2038 in God 2316."

John's Last Testimony

¶ After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 Jesus 2424 and His disciples 3101 came 2064 into the land 1093 of Judea 2453, and there 1563 He was spending 1304 time 1304 with them and baptizing 907.
23 John 2491 also 2532 was baptizing 907 in Aenon 137 near 1451 Salim 4530, because 3754 there was much 4183 water 5204 there 1563; and {people} were coming 3854 and were being baptized 907--
24 for John 2491 had not yet 3768 been 1510 thrown 906 into prison 5438.
25 ¶ Therefore 3767 there 1096 arose 1096 a discussion 2214 on the part of John's 2491 disciples 3101 with a Jew 2453 about 4012 purification 2512.
26 And they came 2064 to John 2491 and said 3004 to him, "Rabbi 4461, He who 3739 was with you beyond 4008 the Jordan 2446, to whom 3739 you have testified 3140, behold 2396, He is baptizing 907 and all 3956 are coming 2064 to Him."
27 John 2491 answered 611 and said 3004, "A man 444 can 1410 receive 2983 nothing unless it has been 1510 given 1325 him from heaven 3772.
28 "You yourselves 846 are my witnesses 3140 that I said 3004, 'I am 1510 not the Christ 5547,' but, 'I have been 1510 sent 649 ahead 1715 of Him.'
29 "He who has 2192 the bride 3565 is the bridegroom 3566; but the friend 5384 of the bridegroom 3566, who stands 2476 and hears 191 him, rejoices 5463 greatly 5479 because 1223 of the bridegroom's 3566 voice 5456. So 3767 this 3778 joy 5479 of mine 1699 has been made 4137 full 4137.
30 "He must 1163 increase 837, but I must decrease 1642.
31 ¶ "He who comes 2064 from above 509 is above 1883 all 3956, he who is of the earth 1093 is from the earth 1093 and speaks 2980 of the earth 1093. He who comes 2064 from heaven 3772 is above 1883 all 3956.
32 "What 3739 He has seen 3708 and heard 191, of that He testifies 3140; and no 3762 one 3762 receives 2983 His testimony 3140.
33 "He who has received 2983 His testimony 3141 has set 4972 his seal 4972 to {this,} that God 2316 is true 227.
34 "For He whom 3739 God 2316 has sent 649 speaks 2980 the words 4487 of God 2316; for He gives 1325 the Spirit 4151 without measure 3358.
35 "The Father 3962 loves 25 the Son 5207 and has given 1325 all 3956 things 3956 into His hand 5495.
36 "He who believes 4100 in the Son 5207 has 2192 eternal 166 life 2222; but he who does not obey 544 the Son 5207 will not see 3708 life 2222, but the wrath 3709 of God 2316 abides 3306 on him."

Jesus Goes to Galilee

Therefore 3767 when 5613 the Lord 2962 knew 1097 that the Pharisees 5330 had heard 191 that Jesus 2424 was making 4160 and baptizing 907 more 4183 disciples 3101 than 2228 John 2491
2 (although 2544 Jesus 2424 Himself 846 was not baptizing 907, but His disciples 3101 were),
3 He left 863 Judea 2453 and went 565 away 565 again 3825 into Galilee 1056.
4 And He had 1163 to pass 1330 through Samaria 4540.
5 So 3767 He came 2064 to a city 4172 of Samaria 4540 called 3004 Sychar 4965, near 4139 the parcel 5564 of ground 5564 that Jacob 2384 gave 1325 to his son 5207 Joseph 2501;
6 and Jacob's 2384 well 4077 was there 1563. So 3767 Jesus 2424, being wearied 2872 from His journey 3597, was sitting 2516 thus 3779 by the well 4077. It was about 5613 the sixth 1623 hour 5610.

The Woman of Samaria

¶ There came 2064 a woman 1135 of Samaria 4540 to draw 501 water 5204. Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Give 1325 Me a drink 4095."
8 For His disciples 3101 had gone 565 away 565 into the city 4172 to buy 59 food 5160.
9 Therefore 3767 the Samaritan 4542 woman 1135 said 3004 to Him, "How 4459 is it that You, being 1510 a Jew 2453, ask 154 me for a drink 4095 since I am 1510 a Samaritan 4542 woman 1135?" (For Jews 2453 have 4798 no 3756 dealings 4798 with Samaritans 4541.)
10 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to her, "If 1487 you knew 3609 the gift 1431 of God 2316, and who 5101 it is who says 3004 to you, 'Give 1325 Me a drink 4095,' you would have asked 154 Him, and He would have given 1325 you living 2198 water 5204."
11 She said 3004 to Him, "Sir 2962, You have 2192 nothing 3777 to draw 502 with and the well 5421 is deep 901; where 4159 then 3767 do You get 2192 that living 2198 water?
12 "You are not greater 3173 than our father 3962 Jacob 2384, are You, who 3739 gave 1325 us the well 5421, and drank 4095 of it himself 846 and his sons 5207 and his cattle 2353?"
13 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to her, "Everyone 3956 who drinks 4095 of this 3778 water 5204 will thirst 1372 again 3825;
14 but whoever drinks 4095 of the water 5204 that I will give 1325 him shall never thirst 1372; but the water 5204 that I will give 1325 him will become 1096 in him a well 4077 of water 5204 springing 242 up to eternal 166 life 2222."
15 ¶ The woman 1135 said 3004 to Him, "Sir 2962, give 1325 me this 3778 water 5204, so 2443 I will not be thirsty 1372 nor 3366 come 1330 all the way here 1759 to draw 501."
16 He said 3004 to her, "Go 5217, call 5455 your husband 435 and come 2064 here 1759."
17 The woman 1135 answered 611 and said 3004, "I have 2192 no 3756 husband 435." Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "You have correctly 2573 said 3004, 'I have 2192 no 3756 husband 435';
18 for you have 2192 had 2192 five 4002 husbands 435, and the one whom 3739 you now 3568 have 2192 is not your husband 435; this 3778 you have said 3004 truly 227."
19 The woman 1135 said 3004 to Him, "Sir 2962, I perceive 2334 that You are a prophet 4396.
20 "Our fathers 3962 worshiped 4352 in this 3778 mountain 3735, and you {people} say 3004 that in Jerusalem 2414 is the place 5117 where 3699 men ought 1163 to worship 4352."
21 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Woman 1135, believe 4100 Me, an hour 5610 is coming 2064 when 3753 neither 3777 in this 3778 mountain 3735 nor 3777 in Jerusalem 2414 will you worship 4352 the Father 3962.
22 "You worship 4352 what 3739 you do not know 3609; we worship 4352 what 3739 we know 3609, for salvation 4991 is from the Jews 2453.
23 "But an hour 5610 is coming 2064, and now 3568 is, when 3753 the true 228 worshipers 4353 will worship 4352 the Father 3962 in spirit 4151 and truth 225; for such 5108 people 5108 the Father 3962 seeks 2212 to be His worshipers 4352.
24 "God 2316 is spirit 4151, and those 3588 who worship 4352 Him must 1163 worship 4352 in spirit 4151 and truth 225."
25 The woman 1135 said 3004 to Him, "I know 3609 that Messiah 3323 is coming 2064 (He who is called 3004 Christ 5547); when 3752 that One 1565 comes 2064, He will declare 312 all 537 things 537 to us."
26 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "I who speak 2980 to you am 1510 {He.}"
27 ¶ At this 3778 point 1909 His disciples 3101 came 2064, and they were amazed 2296 that He had been speaking 2980 with a woman 1135, yet 3305 no 3762 one 3762 said 3004, "What 5101 do You seek 2212?" or 2228, "Why 5101 do You speak 2980 with her?"
28 So 3767 the woman 1135 left 863 her waterpot 5201, and went 565 into the city 4172 and said 3004 to the men 444,
29 "Come 1205, see 3708 a man 444 who 3739 told 3004 me all 3956 the things 3956 that I {have} done 4160; this 3778 is not the Christ 5547, is it?"
30 They went 1831 out of the city 4172, and were coming 2064 to Him.
31 ¶ Meanwhile 3342 the disciples 3101 were urging 2065 Him, saying 3004, "Rabbi 4461, eat 2068."
32 But He said 3004 to them, "I have 2192 food 1035 to eat 2068 that you do not know 3609 about 3609."
33 So 3767 the disciples 3101 were saying 3004 to one 240 another 240, "No 3361 one 5100 brought 5342 Him {anything} to eat 2068, did he?"
34 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "My food 1033 is to do 4160 the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me and to accomplish 5048 His work 2041.
35 "Do you not say 3004, 'There are yet 2089 four 5072 months 5072, and {then} comes 2064 the harvest 2326'? Behold 2400, I say 3004 to you, lift 1869 up your eyes 3788 and look 2300 on the fields 5561, that they are white 3022 for harvest 2326.
36 "Already 2235 he who reaps 2325 is receiving 2983 wages 3408 and is gathering 4863 fruit 2590 for life 2222 eternal 166; so 2443 that he who sows 4687 and he who reaps 2325 may rejoice 5463 together 3674.
37 "For in this 3778 {case} the saying 3056 is true 228, 'One 243 sows 4687 and another 243 reaps 2325.'
38 "I sent 649 you to reap 2325 that for which 3739 you have not labored 2872; others 243 have labored 2872 and you have entered 1525 into their labor 2873."
39

The Samaritans

¶ From that city 4172 many 4183 of the Samaritans 4541 believed 4100 in Him because 1223 of the word 3056 of the woman 1135 who testified 3140, "He told 3004 me all 3956 the things 3956 that I {have} done 4160."
40 So 3767 when 5613 the Samaritans 4541 came 2064 to Jesus, they were asking 2065 Him to stay 3306 with them; and He stayed 3306 there 1563 two 1417 days 2250.
41 Many 4183 more 4183 believed 4100 because 1223 of His word 3056;
42 and they were saying 3004 to the woman 1135, "It is no 3765 longer 3765 because 1223 of what you said 2981 that we believe 4100, for we have heard 191 for ourselves 846 and know 3609 that this 3778 One 3778 is indeed 230 the Savior 4990 of the world 2889."
43 ¶ After 3326 the two 1417 days 2250 He went 1831 forth 1831 from there 1564 into Galilee 1056.
44 For Jesus 2424 Himself 846 testified 3140 that a prophet 4396 has 2192 no 3756 honor 5092 in his own 2398 country 3968.
45 So 3767 when 3753 He came 2064 to Galilee 1056, the Galileans 1057 received 1209 Him, having seen 3708 all 3956 the things 3956 that He did 4160 in Jerusalem 2414 at the feast 1859; for they themselves 846 also 2532 went 2064 to the feast 1859.
46

Healing a Nobleman's Son

¶ Therefore 3767 He came 2064 again 3825 to Cana 2580 of Galilee 1056 where 3699 He had made 4160 the water 5204 wine 3631. And there was a royal 937 official 937 whose 3739 son 5207 was sick 770 at Capernaum 2746.
47 When he heard 191 that Jesus 2424 had 2240 come 2240 out of Judea 2453 into Galilee 1056, he went 565 to Him and was imploring 2065 {Him} to come 2597 down 2597 and heal 2390 his son 5207; for he was at the point 3195 of death 599.
48 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Unless you {people} see 3708 signs 4592 and wonders 5059, you {simply} will not believe 4100."
49 The royal 937 official 937 said 3004 to Him, "Sir 2962, come 2597 down 2597 before 4250 my child 3813 dies 599."
50 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Go 4198; your son 5207 lives 2198." The man 444 believed 4100 the word 3056 that Jesus 2424 spoke 3004 to him and started 4198 off.
51 As he was now 2235 going 2597 down 2597, {his} slaves 1401 met 5221 him, saying 3004 that his son 3816 was living 2198.
52 So 3767 he inquired 4441 of them the hour 5610 when he began to get 2192 better 2866. Then 3767 they said 3004 to him, "Yesterday 2189 at the seventh 1442 hour 5610 the fever 4446 left 863 him."
53 So 3767 the father 3962 knew 1097 that {it was} at that hour 5610 in which 3739 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Your son 5207 lives 2198"; and he himself 846 believed 4100 and his whole 3650 household 3614.
54 This 3778 is again 3825 a second 1208 sign 4592 that Jesus 2424 performed 4160 when He had come 2064 out of Judea 2453 into Galilee 1056.

The Healing at Bethesda

After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 there was a feast 1859 of the Jews 2453, and Jesus 2424 went 305 up to Jerusalem 2414.
2 ¶ Now 1161 there is in Jerusalem 2414 by the sheep 4262 {gate} a pool 2861, which is called 1951 in Hebrew 1447 Bethesda 964, having 2192 five 4002 porticoes 4745.
3 In these 3778 lay 2621 a multitude 4128 of those 3588 who were sick 770, blind 5185, lame 5560, and withered 3584, [waiting 1551 for the moving 2796 of the waters 5204;
4 for an angel 32 of the Lord 2962 went 2597 down 2597 at certain 2596 seasons 2540 into the pool 2861 and stirred 5015 up the water 5204; whoever then 3767 first 4413, after 3326 the stirring 5016 up of the water 5204, stepped 1684 in was made 1096 well 5199 from whatever disease 3553 with which 3739 he was afflicted 2722.]
5 A man 444 was there 1563 who had been 2192 ill 769 for thirty-eight years 2094.
6 When Jesus 2424 saw 3708 him lying 2621 {there,} and knew 1097 that he had already 2235 been 2192 a long 4183 time 5550 {in that condition,} He said 3004 to him, "Do you wish 2309 to get 1096 well 5199?"
7 The sick 770 man answered 611 Him, "Sir 2962, I have 2192 no 3756 man 444 to put 906 me into the pool 2861 when 3752 the water 5204 is stirred 5015 up, but while I am coming 2064, another 243 steps 2597 down 2597 before 4253 me."
8 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Get 1453 up, pick 142 up your pallet 2895 and walk 4043."
9 Immediately 2112 the man 444 became 1096 well 5199, and picked 142 up his pallet 2895 and {began} to walk 4043.
10 ¶ So 3767 the Jews 2453 were saying 3004 to the man who was cured 2323, "It is the Sabbath 4521, and it is not permissible 1832 for you to carry 142 your pallet 2895."
11 But he answered 611 them, "He who made 4160 me well 5199 was the one 1565 who said 3004 to me, 'Pick 142 up your pallet 2895 and walk 4043.'"
12 They asked 2065 him, "Who 5101 is the man 444 who said 3004 to you, 'Pick 142 up {your pallet} and walk 4043'?"
13 But the man who was healed 2390 did not know 3609 who 5101 it was, for Jesus 2424 had slipped 1593 away 1593 while there was a crowd 3793 in {that} place 5117.
14 Afterward Jesus 2424 found 2147 him in the temple 2413 and said 3004 to him, "Behold 2396, you have become 1096 well 5199; do not sin 264 anymore 3371, so 2443 that nothing worse 5501 happens 1096 to you."
15 The man 444 went 565 away 565, and told 3004 the Jews 2453 that it was Jesus 2424 who had made 4160 him well 5199.
16 For this 3778 reason 1223 the Jews 2453 were persecuting 1377 Jesus 2424, because 3754 He was doing 4160 these 3778 things 3778 on the Sabbath 4521.
17 But He answered 611 them, "My Father 3962 is working 2038 until 2193 now 737, and I Myself 1473 am working 2038."
18

Jesus' Equality with God

For this 3778 reason 1223 therefore 3767 the Jews 2453 were seeking 2212 all the more 3123 to kill 615 Him, because 3754 He not only 3440 was breaking 3089 the Sabbath 4521, but also 2532 was calling 3004 God 2316 His own 2398 Father 3962, making 4160 Himself 1438 equal 2470 with God 2316.
19 ¶ Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and was saying 3004 to them, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, the Son 5207 can 1410 do 4160 nothing of Himself 1438, unless {it is} something 5100 He sees 991 the Father 3962 doing 4160; for whatever the Father 3962 does 4160, these 3778 things 3778 the Son 5207 also 2532 does 4160 in like 3668 manner 3668.
20 "For the Father 3962 loves 5368 the Son 5207, and shows 1166 Him all 3956 things 3956 that He Himself 846 is doing 4160; and {the Father} will show 1166 Him greater 3173 works 2041 than these 3778, so 2443 that you will marvel 2296.
21 "For just 5618 as the Father 3962 raises 1453 the dead 3498 and gives 2227 them life 2227, even 2532 so 3779 the Son 5207 also 2532 gives 2227 life 2227 to whom 3739 He wishes 2309.
22 "For not even 3761 the Father 3962 judges 2919 anyone 3762, but He has given 1325 all 3956 judgment 2920 to the Son 5207,
23 so 2443 that all 3956 will honor 5091 the Son 5207 even 2531 as they honor 5091 the Father 3962. He who does not honor 5091 the Son 5207 does not honor 5091 the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Him.
24 ¶ "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who hears 191 My word 3056, and believes 4100 Him who sent 3992 Me, has 2192 eternal 166 life 2222, and does not come 2064 into judgment 2920, but has passed 3327 out of death 2288 into life 2222.
25

Two Resurrections

"Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, an hour 5610 is coming 2064 and now 3568 is, when 3753 the dead 3498 will hear 191 the voice 5456 of the Son 5207 of God 2316, and those 3588 who hear 191 will live 2198.
26 "For just 5618 as the Father 3962 has 2192 life 2222 in Himself 1438, even 2532 so 3779 He gave 1325 to the Son 5207 also 2532 to have 2192 life 2222 in Himself 1438;
27 and He gave 1325 Him authority 1849 to execute 4160 judgment 2920, because 3754 He is {the} Son 5207 of Man 444.
28 "Do not marvel 2296 at this 3778; for an hour 5610 is coming 2064, in which 3739 all 3956 who 3588 are in the tombs 3419 will hear 191 His voice 5456,
29 and will come 1607 forth 1607; those 3588 who did 4160 the good 18 {deeds} to a resurrection 386 of life 2222, those 3588 who committed 4238 the evil 5337 {deeds} to a resurrection 386 of judgment 2920.
30 ¶ "I can 1410 do 4160 nothing on My own 1683 initiative 1683. As I hear 191, I judge 2919; and My judgment 2920 is just 1342, because 3754 I do not seek 2212 My own 1699 will 2307, but the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me.
31 ¶ "If 1437 I {alone} testify 3140 about 4012 Myself 1683, My testimony 3141 is not true 227.
32 "There is another 243 who testifies 3140 of Me, and I know 3609 that the testimony 3141 which 3739 He gives 3140 about 4012 Me is true 227.
33

Witness of John

"You have sent 649 to John 2491, and he has testified 3140 to the truth 225.
34 "But the testimony 3141 which I receive 2983 is not from man 444, but I say 3004 these 3778 things 3778 so 2443 that you may be saved 4982.
35 "He was the lamp 3088 that was burning 2545 and was shining 5316 and you were willing 2309 to rejoice 21 for a while 5610 in his light 5457.
36

Witness of Works

"But the testimony 3141 which I have 2192 is greater 3173 than {the testimony of} John 2491; for the works 2041 which 3739 the Father 3962 has given 1325 Me to accomplish 5048--the very 846 works 2041 that I do 4160--testify 3140 about 4012 Me, that the Father 3962 has sent 649 Me.
37

Witness of the Father

"And the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Me, He has testified 3140 of Me. You have neither 3777 heard 191 His voice 5456 at any 4455 time 4455 nor 3777 seen 3708 His form 1491.
38 "You do not have 2192 His word 3056 abiding 3306 in you, for you do not believe 4100 Him whom 3739 He sent 649.
39

Witness of the Scripture

"You search 2045 the Scriptures 1124 because 3754 you think 1380 that in them you have 2192 eternal 166 life 2222; it is these 1565 that testify 3140 about 4012 Me;
40 and you are unwilling to come 2064 to Me so 2443 that you may have 2192 life 2222.
41 "I do not receive 2983 glory 1391 from men 444;
42 but I know 1097 you, that you do not have 2192 the love 26 of God 2316 in yourselves 1438.
43 "I have come 2064 in My Father's 3962 name 3686, and you do not receive 2983 Me; if 1437 another 243 comes 2064 in his own 2398 name 3686, you will receive 2983 him.
44 "How 4459 can 1410 you believe 4100, when you receive 2983 glory 1391 from one 240 another 240 and you do not seek 2212 the glory 1391 that is from the {one and} only 3441 God 2316?
45 "Do not think 1380 that I will accuse 2723 you before 4314 the Father 3962; the one who accuses 2723 you is Moses 3475, in whom 3739 you have set 1679 your hope 1679.
46 "For if 1487 you believed 4100 Moses 3475, you would believe 4100 Me, for he wrote 1125 about 4012 Me.
47 "But if 1487 you do not believe 4100 his writings 1121, how 4459 will you believe 4100 My words 4487?"

Five Thousand Fed

After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 Jesus 2424 went 565 away 565 to the other 4008 side 4008 of the Sea 2281 of Galilee 1056 (or Tiberias 5085).
2 A large 4183 crowd 3793 followed 190 Him, because 3754 they saw 3708 the signs 4592 which 3739 He was performing 4160 on those 3588 who were sick 770.
3 Then 2532 Jesus 2424 went 424 up on the mountain 3735, and there 1563 He sat 2521 down 2521 with His disciples 3101.
4 Now 1161 the Passover 3957, the feast 1859 of the Jews 2453, was near 1451.
5 Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424, lifting 1869 up His eyes 3788 and seeing 2300 that a large 4183 crowd 3793 was coming 2064 to Him, said 3004 to Philip 5376, "Where 4159 are we to buy 59 bread 740, so 3767 that these 3778 may eat 2068?"
6 This 3778 He was saying 3004 to test 3985 him, for He Himself 846 knew 3609 what 5101 He was intending 3195 to do 4160.
7 Philip 5376 answered 611 Him, "Two 1250 hundred 1250 denarii 1220 worth of bread 740 is not sufficient 714 for them, for everyone 1538 to receive 2983 a little 1024."
8 One 1520 of His disciples 3101, Andrew 406, Simon 4613 Peter's 4074 brother 80, said 3004 to Him,
9 "There is a lad 3808 here 5602 who 3739 has 2192 five 4002 barley 2916 loaves 740 and two 1417 fish 3795, but what 5101 are these 3778 for so 5118 many 5118 people 5118?"
10 Jesus 2424 said 3004, "Have 4160 the people 444 sit 377 down 377." Now 1161 there was much 4183 grass 5528 in the place 5117. So 3767 the men 435 sat 377 down 377, in number 706 about 5613 five 4000 thousand 4000.
11 Jesus 2424 then 3767 took 2983 the loaves 740, and having given 2168 thanks 2168, He distributed 1239 to those 3588 who were seated 345; likewise 3668 also 2532 of the fish 3795 as much 3745 as they wanted 2309.
12 When 5613 they were filled 1705, He said 3004 to His disciples 3101, "Gather 4863 up the leftover 4052 fragments 2801 so 2443 that nothing will be lost 622."
13 So 3767 they gathered 4863 them up, and filled 1072 twelve 1427 baskets 2894 with fragments 2801 from the five 4002 barley 2916 loaves 740 which 3739 were left 4052 over 4052 by those 3588 who had eaten 977.
14 Therefore 3767 when the people 444 saw 3708 the sign 4592 which 3739 He had performed 4160, they said 3004, "This 3778 is truly 230 the Prophet 4396 who is to come 2064 into the world 2889."
15

Jesus Walks on the Water

¶ So 3767 Jesus 2424, perceiving 1097 that they were intending 3195 to come 2064 and take 726 Him by force 726 to make 4160 Him king 935, withdrew 402 again 3825 to the mountain 3735 by Himself 846 alone 3441.
16 ¶ Now 1161 when 5613 evening 3798 came 1096, His disciples 3101 went 2597 down 2597 to the sea 2281,
17 and after getting 1684 into a boat 4143, they {started to} cross 4008 the sea 2281 to Capernaum 2746. It had already 2235 become 1096 dark 4653, and Jesus 2424 had not yet 3768 come 2064 to them.
18 The sea 2281 {began} to be stirred 1326 up because a strong 3173 wind 417 was blowing 4154.
19 Then 3767, when they had rowed 1643 about 5613 three or 2228 four miles 4712, they saw 2334 Jesus 2424 walking 4043 on the sea 2281 and drawing 1096 near 1451 to the boat 4143; and they were frightened 5399.
20 But He said 3004 to them, "It is I; do not be afraid 5399."
21 So 3767 they were willing 2309 to receive 2983 Him into the boat 4143, and immediately 2112 the boat 4143 was at the land 1093 to which 3739 they were going 5217.
22 ¶ The next 1887 day 1887 the crowd 3793 that stood 2476 on the other 4008 side 4008 of the sea 2281 saw 3708 that there was no 3756 other 243 small 4142 boat 4142 there 1563, except 1508 one 1520, and that Jesus 2424 had not entered 4897 with His disciples 3101 into the boat 4143, but {that} His disciples 3101 had gone 565 away 565 alone 3441.
23 There came 2064 other 243 small 4142 boats 4142 from Tiberias 5085 near 1451 to the place 5117 where 3699 they ate 2068 the bread 740 after the Lord 2962 had given 2168 thanks 2168.
24 So 3767 when 3753 the crowd 3793 saw 3708 that Jesus 2424 was not there 1563, nor 3761 His disciples 3101, they themselves 846 got 1684 into the small 4142 boats 4142, and came 2064 to Capernaum 2746 seeking 2212 Jesus 2424.
25 When 4219 they found 2147 Him on the other 4008 side 4008 of the sea 2281, they said 3004 to Him, "Rabbi 4461, when 4219 did You get 1096 here 5602?"
26

Words to the People

¶ Jesus 2424 answered 611 them and said 3004, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, you seek 2212 Me, not because 3754 you saw 3708 signs 4592, but because 3754 you ate 2068 of the loaves 740 and were filled 5526.
27 "Do not work 2038 for the food 1035 which perishes 622, but for the food 1035 which endures 3306 to eternal 166 life 2222, which 3739 the Son 5207 of Man 444 will give 1325 to you, for on Him the Father 3962, God 2316, has set 4972 His seal 4972."
28 Therefore 3767 they said 3004 to Him, "What 5101 shall we do 4160, so 3767 that we may work 2038 the works 2041 of God 2316?"
29 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to them, "This 3778 is the work 2041 of God 2316, that you believe 4100 in Him whom 3739 He has sent 649."
30 So 3767 they said 3004 to Him, "What 5101 then 3767 do You do 4160 for a sign 4592, so 3767 that we may see 3708, and believe 4100 You? What 5101 work 2038 do You perform 2038?
31 "Our fathers 3962 ate 2068 the manna 3131 in the wilderness 2048; as it is written 1125, 'HE GAVE 1325 THEM BREAD 740 OUT OF HEAVEN 3772 TO EAT 2068.'"
32 Jesus 2424 then 3767 said 3004 to them, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, it is not Moses 3475 who has given 1325 you the bread 740 out of heaven 3772, but it is My Father 3962 who gives 1325 you the true 228 bread 740 out of heaven 3772.
33 "For the bread 740 of God 2316 is that which comes 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772, and gives 1325 life 2222 to the world 2889."
34 Then 3767 they said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, always 3842 give 1325 us this 3778 bread 740."
35 ¶ Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "I am 1510 the bread 740 of life 2222; he who comes 2064 to Me will not hunger 3983, and he who believes 4100 in Me will never thirst 1372.
36 "But I said 3004 to you that you have seen 3708 Me, and yet do not believe 4100.
37 "All 3956 that the Father 3962 gives 1325 Me will come 2240 to Me, and the one who comes 2064 to Me I will certainly not cast 1544 out.
38 "For I have come 2597 down 2597 from heaven 3772, not to do 4160 My own 1699 will 2307, but the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me.
39 "This 3778 is the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me, that of all 3956 that He has given 1325 Me I lose 622 nothing 3361, but raise 450 it up on the last 2078 day 2250.
40 "For this 3778 is the will 2307 of My Father 3962, that everyone 3956 who beholds 2334 the Son 5207 and believes 4100 in Him will have 2192 eternal 166 life 2222, and I Myself 1473 will raise 450 him up on the last 2078 day 2250."
41

Words to the Jews

Therefore 3767 the Jews 2453 were grumbling 1111 about 4012 Him, because 3754 He said 3004, "I am 1510 the bread 740 that came 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772."
42 They were saying 3004, "Is not this 3778 Jesus 2424, the son 5207 of Joseph 2501, whose 3739 father 3962 and mother 3384 we know 3609? How 4459 does He now 3568 say 3004, 'I have come 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772'?"
43 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to them, "Do not grumble 1111 among 3326 yourselves 240.
44 "No 3762 one 3762 can 1410 come 2064 to Me unless the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Me draws 1670 him; and I will raise 450 him up on the last 2078 day 2250.
45 "It is written 1125 in the prophets 4396, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL 3956 BE TAUGHT 1318 OF GOD 2316.' Everyone 3956 who has heard 191 and learned 3129 from the Father 3962, comes 2064 to Me.
46 "Not that anyone 5100 has seen 3708 the Father 3962, except 1508 the One who is from God 2316; He has seen 3708 the Father 3962.
47 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who believes 4100 has 2192 eternal 166 life 2222.
48 "I am 1510 the bread 740 of life 2222.
49 "Your fathers 3962 ate 2068 the manna 3131 in the wilderness 2048, and they died 599.
50 "This 3778 is the bread 740 which comes 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772, so 2443 that one 5100 may eat 2068 of it and not die 599.
51 "I am 1510 the living 2198 bread 740 that came 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772; if 1437 anyone 5100 eats 2068 of this 3778 bread 740, he will live 2198 forever 165; and the bread 740 also 2532 which 3739 I will give 1325 for the life 2222 of the world 2889 is My flesh 4561."
52 ¶ Then 3767 the Jews 2453 {began} to argue 3164 with one 240 another 240, saying 3004, "How 4459 can 1410 this 3778 man 3778 give 1325 us {His} flesh 4561 to eat 2068?"
53 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, unless you eat 2068 the flesh 4561 of the Son 5207 of Man 444 and drink 4095 His blood 129, you have 2192 no 3756 life 2222 in yourselves 1438.
54 "He who eats 5176 My flesh 4561 and drinks 4095 My blood 129 has 2192 eternal 166 life 2222, and I will raise 450 him up on the last 2078 day 2250.
55 "For My flesh 4561 is true 227 food 1035, and My blood 129 is true 227 drink 4213.
56 "He who eats 5176 My flesh 4561 and drinks 4095 My blood 129 abides 3306 in Me, and I in him.
57 "As the living 2198 Father 3962 sent 649 Me, and I live 2198 because 1223 of the Father 3962, so 2532 he who eats 5176 Me, he also 2548 will live 2198 because 1223 of Me.
58 "This 3778 is the bread 740 which 3588 came 2597 down 2597 out of heaven 3772; not as the fathers 3962 ate 2068 and died 599; he who eats 5176 this 3778 bread 740 will live 2198 forever 165."
59

Words to the Disciples

These 3778 things 3778 He said 3004 in the synagogue 4864 as He taught 1321 in Capernaum 2746.
60 ¶ Therefore 3767 many 4183 of His disciples 3101, when they heard 191 {this} said 3004, "This 3778 is a difficult 4642 statement 3056; who 5101 can 1410 listen 191 to it?"
61 But Jesus 2424, conscious that His disciples 3101 grumbled 1111 at this 3778, said 3004 to them, "Does this 3778 cause 4624 you to stumble 4624?
62 "{What} then 3767 if 1437 you see 2334 the Son 5207 of Man 444 ascending 305 to where 3699 He was before 4387?
63 "It is the Spirit 4151 who gives 2227 life 2227; the flesh 4561 profits 5623 nothing 3762; the words 4487 that I have spoken 2980 to you are spirit 4151 and are life 2222.
64 "But there are some 5100 of you who 3739 do not believe 4100." For Jesus 2424 knew 3609 from the beginning 746 who 5101 they were who did not believe 4100, and who 5101 it was that would betray 3860 Him.
65 And He was saying 3004, "For this 3778 reason 1223 I have said 3004 to you, that no 3762 one 3762 can 1410 come 2064 to Me unless it has been 1510 granted 1325 him from the Father 3962."
66

Peter's Confession of Faith

¶ As a result 1537 of this 3778 many 4183 of His disciples 3101 withdrew and were not walking 4043 with Him anymore 3765.
67 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to the twelve 1427, "You do not want 2309 to go 5217 away 5217 also 2532, do you?"
68 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 answered 611 Him, "Lord 2962, to whom 5101 shall we go 565? You have 2192 words 4487 of eternal 166 life 2222.
69 "We have believed 4100 and have come to know 1097 that You are the Holy 40 One 40 of God 2316."
70 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "Did I Myself 1473 not choose 1586 you, the twelve 1427, and {yet} one 1520 of you is a devil 1228?"
71 Now 1161 He meant 3004 Judas 2455 {the son} of Simon 4613 Iscariot 2469, for he, one 1520 of the twelve 1427, was going 3195 to betray 3860 Him.

Jesus Teaches at the Feast

After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 Jesus 2424 was walking 4043 in Galilee 1056, for He was unwilling to walk 4043 in Judea 2453 because 3754 the Jews 2453 were seeking 2212 to kill 615 Him.
2 Now 1161 the feast 1859 of the Jews 2453, the Feast 4634 of Booths 4634, was near 1451.
3 Therefore 3767 His brothers 80 said 3004 to Him, "Leave 3327 here 1782 and go 5217 into Judea 2453, so 3767 that Your disciples 3101 also 2532 may see 2334 Your works 2041 which 3739 You are doing 4160.
4 "For no 3762 one 3762 does 4160 anything 5100 in secret 2927 when 2532 he himself 846 seeks 2212 to be {known} publicly 3954. If 1487 You do 4160 these 3778 things 3778, show 5319 Yourself 4572 to the world 2889."
5 For not even 3761 His brothers 80 were believing 4100 in Him.
6 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "My time 2540 is not yet 3768 here 3918, but your time 2540 is always 3842 opportune 2092.
7 "The world 2889 cannot hate 3404 you, but it hates 3404 Me because 3754 I testify 3140 of it, that its deeds 2041 are evil 4190.
8 "Go 305 up to the feast 1859 yourselves 4771; I do not go 305 up to this 3778 feast 1859 because 3754 My time 2540 has not yet 3768 fully 4137 come 4137."
9 Having said 3004 these 3778 things 3778 to them, He stayed 3306 in Galilee 1056.
10 ¶ But when 5613 His brothers 80 had gone 305 up to the feast 1859, then 5119 He Himself 846 also 2532 went 305 up, not publicly 5320, but as if 5613, in secret 2927.
11 So 3767 the Jews 2453 were seeking 2212 Him at the feast 1859 and were saying 3004, "Where 4226 is He?"
12 There was much 4183 grumbling 1112 among 1722 the crowds 3793 concerning 4012 Him; some were saying 3004, "He is a good 18 man 18"; others 243 were saying 3004, "No 3756, on the contrary 235, He leads 4105 the people 3793 astray 4105."
13 Yet 3305 no 3762 one 3762 was speaking 2980 openly 3954 of Him for fear 5401 of the Jews 2453.
14 ¶ But when it was now 2235 the midst 3322 of the feast 1859 Jesus 2424 went 305 up into the temple 2413, and {began to} teach 1321.
15 The Jews 2453 then 3767 were astonished 2296, saying 3004, "How 4459 has this 3778 man 3778 become 3609 learned 3609, having never 3361 been educated 3129?"
16 So 3767 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them and said 3004, "My teaching 1322 is not Mine 1699, but His who sent 3992 Me.
17 "If 1437 anyone 5100 is willing 2309 to do 4160 His will 2307, he will know 1097 of the teaching 1322, whether 4220 it is of God 2316 or 2228 {whether} I speak 2980 from Myself 1683.
18 "He who speaks 2980 from himself 1438 seeks 2212 his own 2398 glory 1391; but He who is seeking 2212 the glory 1391 of the One who sent 3992 Him, He is true 227, and there is no 3756 unrighteousness 93 in Him.
19 ¶ "Did not Moses 3475 give 1325 you the Law 3551, and {yet} none 3762 of you carries 4160 out the Law 3551? Why 5101 do you seek 2212 to kill 615 Me?"
20 The crowd 3793 answered 611, "You have 2192 a demon 1140! Who 5101 seeks 2212 to kill 615 You?"
21 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "I did 4160 one 1520 deed 2041, and you all 3956 marvel 2296.
22 "For this 3778 reason 1223 Moses 3475 has given 1325 you circumcision 4061 (not because 3754 it is from Moses 3475, but from the fathers 3962), and on {the} Sabbath 4521 you circumcise 4059 a man 444.
23 "If 1487 a man 444 receives 2983 circumcision 4061 on {the} Sabbath 4521 so 2443 that the Law 3551 of Moses 3475 will not be broken 3089, are you angry 5520 with Me because 3754 I made 4160 an entire 3650 man 444 well 5199 on {the} Sabbath 4521?
24 "Do not judge 2919 according 2596 to appearance 3799, but judge 2919 with righteous 1342 judgment 2920."
25 ¶ So 3767 some 5100 of the people 2415 of Jerusalem 2415 were saying 3004, "Is this 3778 not the man whom 3739 they are seeking 2212 to kill 615?
26 "Look 2396, He is speaking 2980 publicly 3954, and they are saying 3004 nothing 3762 to Him. The rulers 758 do not really 230 know 1097 that this 3778 is the Christ 5547, do they?
27 "However 235, we know 3609 where 4159 this 3778 man 3778 is from; but whenever 3752 the Christ 5547 may come 2064, no 3762 one 3762 knows 1097 where 4159 He is from."
28 Then 3767 Jesus 2424 cried 2896 out in the temple 2413, teaching 1321 and saying 3004, "You both 2532 know 3609 Me and know 3609 where 4159 I am 1510 from; and I have not come 2064 of Myself 1683, but He who sent 3992 Me is true 228, whom 3739 you do not know 3609.
29 "I know 3609 Him, because 3754 I am 1510 from Him, and He sent 649 Me."
30 So 3767 they were seeking 2212 to seize 4084 Him; and no 3762 man 3762 laid 1911 his hand 5495 on Him, because 3754 His hour 5610 had not yet 3768 come 2064.
31 But many 4183 of the crowd 3793 believed 4100 in Him; and they were saying 3004, "When 3752 the Christ 5547 comes 2064, He will not perform 2038 more 4183 signs 4592 than those which 3739 this 3778 man 3778 has, will He?"
32 ¶ The Pharisees 5330 heard 191 the crowd 3793 muttering 1111 these 3778 things 3778 about 4012 Him, and the chief 749 priests 749 and the Pharisees 5330 sent 649 officers 5257 to seize 4084 Him.
33 Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004, "For a little 3398 while 5550 longer 2089 I am 1510 with you, then 2532 I go 5217 to Him who sent 3992 Me.
34 "You will seek 2212 Me, and will not find 2147 Me; and where 3699 I am 1510, you cannot come 2064."
35 The Jews 2453 then 3767 said 3004 to one 1438 another 1438, "Where 4226 does this 3778 man 3778 intend 3195 to go 4198 that we will not find 2147 Him? He is not intending 3195 to go 4198 to the Dispersion 1290 among the Greeks 1672, and teach 1321 the Greeks 1672, is He?
36 "What 5101 is this 3778 statement 3056 that He said 3004, 'You will seek 2212 Me, and will not find 2147 Me; and where 3699 I am 1510, you cannot come 2064'?"
37 ¶ Now 1161 on the last 2078 day 2250, the great 3173 {day} of the feast 1859, Jesus 2424 stood 2476 and cried 2896 out, saying 3004, "If 1437 anyone 5100 is thirsty 1372, let him come 2064 to Me and drink 4095.
38 "He who believes 4100 in Me, as the Scripture 1124 said 3004, 'From his innermost 2836 being 2836 will flow 4482 rivers 4215 of living 2198 water 5204.'"
39 But this 3778 He spoke 3004 of the Spirit 4151, whom 3739 those 3588 who believed 4100 in Him were to receive 2983; for the Spirit 4151 was not yet 3768 {given,} because 3754 Jesus 2424 was not yet 3764 glorified 1392.
40

Division of People over Jesus

¶ {Some} of the people 3793 therefore 3767, when they heard 191 these 3778 words 3056, were saying 3004, "This 3778 certainly 230 is the Prophet 4396."
41 Others 243 were saying 3004, "This 3778 is the Christ 5547." Still others 3588 were saying 3004, "Surely 3361 the Christ 5547 is not going to come 2064 from Galilee 1056, is He?
42 "Has not the Scripture 1124 said 3004 that the Christ 5547 comes 2064 from the descendants 4690 of David 1160, and from Bethlehem 965, the village 2968 where 3699 David 1160 was?"
43 So 3767 a division 4978 occurred 1096 in the crowd 3793 because 1223 of Him.
44 Some 5100 of them wanted 2309 to seize 4084 Him, but no 3762 one 3762 laid 1911 hands 5495 on Him.
45 ¶ The officers 5257 then 3767 came 2064 to the chief 749 priests 749 and Pharisees 5330, and they said 3004 to them, "Why did you not bring 71 Him?"
46 The officers 5257 answered 611, "Never 3763 has a man 444 spoken 2980 the way 3779 this 3779 man 444 speaks 2980."
47 The Pharisees 5330 then 3767 answered 611 them, "You have not also 2532 been led 4105 astray 4105, have you?
48 "No 3361 one 5100 of the rulers 758 or 2228 Pharisees 5330 has believed 4100 in Him, has he?
49 "But this 3778 crowd 3793 which does not know 1097 the Law 3551 is accursed 1884."
50 Nicodemus 3530 (he who came 2064 to Him before 4387, being 1510 one 1520 of them) said 3004 to them,
51 "Our Law 3551 does not judge 2919 a man 444 unless it first 4413 hears 191 from him and knows 1097 what 5101 he is doing 4160, does it?"
52 They answered 611 him, "You are not also 2532 from Galilee 1056, are you? Search 2045, and see 3708 that no 3756 prophet 4396 arises 1453 out of Galilee 1056."
53 [Everyone 1538 went 4198 to his home 3624.

Chapter 8

The Adulterous Woman

But Jesus 2424 went 4198 to the Mount 3735 of Olives 1636.
2 Early 3722 in the morning 3722 He came 3854 again 3825 into the temple 2413, and all 3956 the people 2992 were coming 2064 to Him; and He sat 2523 down 2523 and {began} to teach 1321 them.
3 The scribes 1122 and the Pharisees 5330 brought 71 a woman 1135 caught 2638 in adultery 3430, and having set 2476 her in the center 3319 {of the court,}
4 they said 3004 to Him, "Teacher 1320, this 3778 woman 1135 has been caught 2638 in adultery 3431, in the very 849 act 849.
5 "Now 1161 in the Law 3551 Moses 3475 commanded 1781 us to stone 3034 such 5108 women 5108; what 5101 then 3767 do You say 3004?"
6 They were saying 3004 this 3778, testing 3985 Him, so 2443 that they might have 2192 grounds for accusing 2723 Him. But Jesus 2424 stooped 2955 down 2736 and with His finger 1147 wrote 2608 on the ground 1093.
7 But when 5613 they persisted 1961 in asking 2065 Him, He straightened 352 up, and said 3004 to them, "He who is without 361 sin 361 among you, let him {be the} first 4413 to throw 906 a stone 3037 at her."
8 Again 3825 He stooped 2634 down 2634 and wrote 1125 on the ground 1093.
9 When they heard 191 it, they {began} to go 1831 out one 1520 by one 1520, beginning 757 with the older 4245 ones 4245, and He was left 2641 alone 3441, and the woman 1135, where she was, in the center 3319 {of the court.}
10 Straightening 352 up, Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Woman 1135, where 4226 are they? Did no 3762 one 3762 condemn 2632 you?"
11 She said 3004, "No 3762 one 3762, Lord 2962." And Jesus 2424 said 3004, "I do not condemn 2632 you, either 3761. Go 4198. From now 3568 on sin 264 no 3371 more 3371."]
12

Jesus Is the Light of the World

¶ Then 3767 Jesus 2424 again 3825 spoke 2980 to them, saying 3004, "I am 1510 the Light 5457 of the world 2889; he who follows 190 Me will not walk 4043 in the darkness 4653, but will have 2192 the Light 5457 of life 2222."
13 So 3767 the Pharisees 5330 said 3004 to Him, "You are testifying 3140 about 4012 Yourself 4572; Your testimony 3141 is not true 227."
14 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to them, "Even 2579 if 2579 I testify 3140 about 4012 Myself 1683, My testimony 3140 is true 227, for I know 3609 where 4159 I came 2064 from and where 4226 I am going 5217; but you do not know 3609 where 4159 I come 2064 from or 2228 where 4226 I am going 5217.
15 "You judge 2919 according 2596 to the flesh 4561; I am not judging 2919 anyone 3762.
16 "But even 2532 if 1437 I do judge 2919, My judgment 2920 is true 228; for I am 1510 not alone 3441 {in it,} but I and the Father who sent 3992 Me.
17 "Even 2532 in your law 3551 it has been written 1125 that the testimony 3141 of two 1417 men 444 is true 227.
18 "I am 1510 He who testifies 3140 about 4012 Myself 1683, and the Father 3962 who sent 3992 Me testifies 3140 about 4012 Me."
19 So 3767 they were saying 3004 to Him, "Where 4226 is Your Father 3962?" Jesus 2424 answered 611, "You know 3609 neither 3777 Me nor 3777 My Father 3962; if 1487 you knew 3609 Me, you would know 3609 My Father 3962 also 2532."
20 These 3778 words 4487 He spoke 2980 in the treasury 1049, as He taught 1321 in the temple 2413; and no 3762 one 3762 seized 4084 Him, because 3754 His hour 5610 had not yet 3768 come 2064.
21 ¶ Then 3767 He said 3004 again 3825 to them, "I go 5217 away 5217, and you will seek 2212 Me, and will die 599 in your sin 266; where 3699 I am going 5217, you cannot come 2064."
22 So 3767 the Jews 2453 were saying 3004, "Surely 3385 He will not kill 615 Himself 1438, will He, since 3754 He says 3004, 'Where 3699 I am going 5217, you cannot come 2064'?"
23 And He was saying 3004 to them, "You are from below 2736, I am 1510 from above 507; you are of this 3778 world 2889, I am 1510 not of this 3778 world 2889.
24 "Therefore 3767 I said 3004 to you that you will die 599 in your sins 266; for unless you believe 4100 that I am 1510 {He,} you will die 599 in your sins 266."
25 So 3767 they were saying 3004 to Him, "Who 5101 are You?" Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "What have I been saying 2980 to you {from} the beginning 746?
26 "I have 2192 many 4183 things 4183 to speak 2980 and to judge 2919 concerning 4012 you, but He who sent 3992 Me is true 227; and the things which 3739 I heard 191 from Him, these 3778 I speak 2980 to the world 2889."
27 They did not realize 1097 that He had been speaking 3004 to them about the Father 3962.
28 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004, "When 3752 you lift 5312 up the Son 5207 of Man 444, then 5119 you will know 1097 that I am 1510 {He,} and I do 4160 nothing 3762 on My own 1683 initiative 1683, but I speak 2980 these 3778 things 3778 as the Father 3962 taught 1321 Me.
29 "And He who sent 3992 Me is with Me; He has not left 863 Me alone 3441, for I always 3842 do 4160 the things 701 that are pleasing 701 to Him."
30 As He spoke 2980 these 3778 things 3778, many 4183 came to believe 4100 in Him.
31

The Truth Will Make You Free

¶ So 3767 Jesus 2424 was saying 3004 to those 3588 Jews 2453 who had believed 4100 Him, "If 1437 you continue 3306 in My word 3056, {then} you are truly 230 disciples 3101 of Mine 1473;
32 and you will know 1097 the truth 225, and the truth 225 will make 1659 you free 1659."
33 They answered 611 Him, "We are Abraham's 11 descendants 4690 and have never yet 4455 been enslaved 1398 to anyone 3762; how 4459 is it that You say 3004, 'You will become 1096 free 1658'?"
34 ¶ Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, everyone 3956 who commits 4160 sin 266 is the slave 1401 of sin 266.
35 "The slave 1401 does not remain 3306 in the house 3614 forever 165; the son 5207 does remain 3306 forever 165.
36 "So 3767 if 1437 the Son 5207 makes 1659 you free 1659, you will be free 1658 indeed 3689.
37 "I know 3609 that you are Abraham's 11 descendants 4690; yet 235 you seek 2212 to kill 615 Me, because 3754 My word 3056 has 5562 no 3756 place 5562 in you.
38 "I speak 2980 the things which 3739 I have seen 3708 with {My} Father 3962; therefore 3767 you also 2532 do 4160 the things which 3739 you heard 191 from {your} father 3962."
39 ¶ They answered 611 and said 3004 to Him, "Abraham 11 is our father 3962." Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "If 1487 you are Abraham's 11 children 5043, do 4160 the deeds 2041 of Abraham 11.
40 "But as it is, you are seeking 2212 to kill 615 Me, a man 444 who 3739 has told 2980 you the truth 225, which 3739 I heard 191 from God 2316; this 3778 Abraham 11 did not do 4160.
41 "You are doing 4160 the deeds 2041 of your father 3962." They said 3004 to Him, "We were not born 1080 of fornication 4202; we have 2192 one 1520 Father 3962: God 2316."
42 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "If 1487 God 2316 were your Father 3962, you would love 25 Me, for I proceeded 1831 forth 1831 and have 2240 come 2240 from God 2316, for I have not even 3761 come 2064 on My own 1683 initiative 1683, but He sent 649 Me.
43 "Why do you not understand 1097 what 2981 I am saying 2981? {It is} because 3754 you cannot hear 191 My word 3056.
44 "You are of {your} father 3962 the devil 1228, and you want 2309 to do 4160 the desires 1939 of your father 3962. He was a murderer 443 from the beginning 746, and does not stand 4739 in the truth 225 because 3754 there is no 3756 truth 225 in him. Whenever 3752 he speaks 2980 a lie 5579, he speaks 2980 from his own 2398 {nature,} for he is a liar 5583 and the father 3962 of lies 846.
45 "But because 3754 I speak 3004 the truth 225, you do not believe 4100 Me.
46 "Which 5101 one 5101 of you convicts 1651 Me of sin 266? If 1487 I speak 3004 truth 225, why do you not believe 4100 Me?
47 "He who is of God 2316 hears 191 the words 4487 of God 2316; for this 3778 reason 1223 you do not hear 191 {them,} because 3754 you are not of God 2316."
48 ¶ The Jews 2453 answered 611 and said 3004 to Him, "Do we not say 3004 rightly 2573 that You are a Samaritan 4541 and have 2192 a demon 1140?"
49 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "I do not have 2192 a demon 1140; but I honor 5091 My Father 3962, and you dishonor 818 Me.
50 "But I do not seek 2212 My glory 1391; there is One who seeks 2212 and judges 2919.
51 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, if 1437 anyone 5100 keeps 5083 My word 3056 he will never see 2334 death 2288."
52 The Jews 2453 said 3004 to Him, "Now 3568 we know 1097 that You have 2192 a demon 1140. Abraham 11 died 599, and the prophets 4396 {also;} and You say 3004, 'If 1437 anyone 5100 keeps 5083 My word 3056, he will never taste 1089 of death 2288.'
53 "Surely 3361 You are not greater 3173 than our father 3962 Abraham 11, who 3748 died 599? The prophets 4396 died 599 too 2532; whom 5101 do You make 4160 Yourself 4572 out {to be?}"
54 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "If 1437 I glorify 1392 Myself 1683, My glory 1391 is nothing 3762; it is My Father 3962 who glorifies 1392 Me, of whom 3739 you say 3004, 'He is our God 2316';
55 and you have not come to know 1097 Him, but I know 3609 Him; and if 2579 I say 3004 that I do not know 3609 Him, I will be a liar 5583 like 3664 you, but I do know 3609 Him and keep 5083 His word 3056.
56 "Your father 3962 Abraham 11 rejoiced 21 to see 3708 My day 2250, and he saw 3708 {it} and was glad 5463."
57 So 3767 the Jews 2453 said 3004 to Him, "You are not yet 3768 fifty 4004 years 2094 old, and have You seen 3708 Abraham 11?"
58 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, before 4250 Abraham 11 was born 1096, I am 1510."
59 Therefore 3767 they picked 142 up stones 3037 to throw 906 at Him, but Jesus 2424 hid 2928 Himself and went 1831 out of the temple 2413.

Chapter 9

Healing the Man Born Blind

As He passed 3855 by, He saw 3708 a man 444 blind 5185 from birth 1079.
2 And His disciples 3101 asked 2065 Him, "Rabbi 4461, who 5101 sinned 264, this 3778 man 3778 or 2228 his parents 1118, that he would be born 1080 blind 5185?"
3 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "{It was} neither 3777 {that} this 3778 man 3778 sinned 264, nor 3777 his parents 1118; but {it was} so 2443 that the works 2041 of God 2316 might be displayed 5319 in him.
4 "We must 1163 work 2038 the works 2041 of Him who sent 3992 Me as long 2193 as it is day 2250; night 3571 is coming 2064 when 3753 no 3762 one 3762 can 1410 work 2038.
5 "While 3752 I am 1510 in the world 2889, I am 1510 the Light 5457 of the world 2889."
6 When He had said 3004 this 3778, He spat 4429 on the ground 5476, and made 4160 clay 4081 of the spittle 4427, and applied 2007 the clay 4081 to his eyes 3788,
7 and said 3004 to him, "Go 5217, wash 3538 in the pool 2861 of Siloam 4611" (which 3739 is translated 2059, Sent 649). So 3767 he went 565 away 565 and washed 3538, and came 2064 {back} seeing 991.
8 Therefore 3767 the neighbors 1069, and those 3588 who previously 4387 saw 2334 him as a beggar 4319, were saying 3004, "Is not this 3778 the one who used to sit 2521 and beg 4319?"
9 Others 243 were saying 3004, "This 3778 is he," {still} others 243 were saying 3004, "No 3780, but he is like 3664 him." He kept saying 3004, "I am 1510 the one."
10 So 3767 they were saying 3004 to him, "How 4459 then 3767 were your eyes 3788 opened 455?"
11 He answered 611, "The man 444 who is called 3004 Jesus 2424 made 4160 clay 4081, and anointed 2025 my eyes 3788, and said 3004 to me, 'Go 5217 to Siloam 4611 and wash 3538'; so 3767 I went 565 away 565 and washed 3538, and I received 308 sight 308."
12 They said 3004 to him, "Where 4226 is He?" He said 3004, "I do not know 3609."
13

Controversy over the Man

¶ They brought 71 to the Pharisees 5330 the man who was formerly 4218 blind 5185.
14 Now 1161 it was a Sabbath 4521 on the day 2250 when 3739 Jesus 2424 made 4160 the clay 4081 and opened 455 his eyes 3788.
15 Then 3767 the Pharisees 5330 also 2532 were asking 2065 him again 3825 how 4459 he received 308 his sight 308. And he said 3004 to them, "He applied 2007 clay 4081 to my eyes 3788, and I washed 3538, and I see 991."
16 Therefore 3767 some 5100 of the Pharisees 5330 were saying 3004, "This 3778 man 444 is not from God 2316, because 3754 He does not keep 5083 the Sabbath 4521." But others 243 were saying 3004, "How 4459 can 1410 a man 444 who is a sinner 268 perform 2038 such 5108 signs 4592?" And there was a division 4978 among 1722 them.
17 So 3767 they said 3004 to the blind 5185 man 5185 again 3825, "What 5101 do you say 3004 about 4012 Him, since 3754 He opened 455 your eyes 3788?" And he said 3004, "He is a prophet 4396."
18 ¶ The Jews 2453 then 3767 did not believe 4100 {it} of him, that he had been 1510 blind 5185 and had received 308 sight 308, until 2193 they called 5455 the parents 1118 of the very 846 one 846 who had received 308 his sight 308,
19 and questioned 2065 them, saying 3004, "Is this 3778 your son 5207, who 3739 you say 3004 was born 1080 blind 5185? Then 3767 how 4459 does he now 737 see 991?"
20 His parents 1118 answered 611 them and said 3004, "We know 3609 that this 3778 is our son 5207, and that he was born 1080 blind 5185;
21 but how 4459 he now 3568 sees 991, we do not know 3609; or 2228 who 5101 opened 455 his eyes 3788, we do not know 3609. Ask 2065 him; he is of age 2244, he will speak 2980 for himself 1438."
22 His parents 1118 said 3004 this 3778 because 3754 they were afraid 5399 of the Jews 2453; for the Jews 2453 had already 2235 agreed 4934 that if 1437 anyone 5100 confessed 3670 Him to be Christ 5547, he was to be put 656 out of the synagogue 656.
23 For this 3778 reason 1223 his parents 1118 said 3004, "He is of age 2244; ask 2065 him."
24 ¶ So 3767 a second 1208 time 1208 they called 5455 the man 444 who 3739 had been 1510 blind 5185, and said 3004 to him, "Give 1325 glory 1391 to God 2316; we know 3609 that this 3778 man 444 is a sinner 268."
25 He then 3767 answered 611, "Whether 1487 He is a sinner 268, I do not know 3609; one 1520 thing 1520 I do know 3609, that though I was blind 5185, now 737 I see 991."
26 So 3767 they said 3004 to him, "What 5101 did He do 4160 to you? How 4459 did He open 455 your eyes 3788?"
27 He answered 611 them, "I told 3004 you already 2235 and you did not listen 191; why 5101 do you want 2309 to hear 191 {it} again 3825? You do not want 2309 to become 1096 His disciples 3101 too 2532, do you?"
28 They reviled 3058 him and said 3004, "You are His disciple 3101, but we are disciples 3101 of Moses 3475.
29 "We know 3609 that God 2316 has spoken 2980 to Moses 3475, but as for this 3778 man 3778, we do not know 3609 where 4159 He is from."
30 The man 444 answered 611 and said 3004 to them, "Well 1063, here is an amazing 2298 thing 2298, that you do not know 3609 where 4159 He is from, and {yet} He opened 455 my eyes 3788.
31 "We know 3609 that God 2316 does not hear 191 sinners 268; but if 1437 anyone 5100 is God-fearing 2318 and does 4160 His will 2307, He hears 191 him.
32 "Since 1537 the beginning 165 of time 165 it has never 3756 been heard 191 that anyone 5100 opened 455 the eyes 3788 of a person 5185 born 1080 blind 5185.
33 "If 1487 this 3778 man 3778 were not from God 2316, He could 1410 do 4160 nothing."
34 They answered 611 him, "You were born 1080 entirely 3650 in sins 266, and are you teaching 1321 us?" So 2532 they put 1544 him out.
35

Jesus Affirms His Deity

¶ Jesus 2424 heard 191 that they had put 1544 him out, and finding 2147 him, He said 3004, "Do you believe 4100 in the Son 5207 of Man 444?"
36 He answered 611, "Who 5101 is He, Lord 2962, that I may believe 4100 in Him?"
37 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "You have both 2532 seen 3708 Him, and He is the one who is talking 2980 with you."
38 And he said 5346, "Lord 2962, I believe 4100." And he worshiped 4352 Him.
39 And Jesus 2424 said 3004, "For judgment 2917 I came 2064 into this 3778 world 2889, so 2443 that those 3588 who do not see 991 may see 991, and that those 3588 who see 991 may become 1096 blind 5185."
40 Those 3588 of the Pharisees 5330 who were with Him heard 191 these 3778 things 3778 and said 3004 to Him, "We are not blind 5185 too 2532, are we?"
41 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "If 1487 you were blind 5185, you would have 2192 no 3756 sin 266; but since 3568 you say 3004, 'We see 991,' your sin 266 remains 3306.

Parable of the Good Shepherd

"Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who does not enter 1525 by the door 2374 into the fold 833 of the sheep 4263, but climbs 305 up some 237 other 237 way 237, he is a thief 2812 and a robber 3027.
2 "But he who enters 1525 by the door 2374 is a shepherd 4166 of the sheep 4263.
3 "To him the doorkeeper 2377 opens 455, and the sheep 4263 hear 191 his voice 5456, and he calls 5455 his own 2398 sheep 4263 by name 3686 and leads 1806 them out.
4 "When 3752 he puts 1544 forth 1544 all 3956 his own 2398, he goes 4198 ahead 1715 of them, and the sheep 4263 follow 190 him because 3754 they know 3609 his voice 5456.
5 "A stranger 245 they simply will not follow 190, but will flee 5343 from him, because 3754 they do not know 3609 the voice 5456 of strangers 245."
6 This 3778 figure 3942 of speech 3942 Jesus 2424 spoke 3004 to them, but they did not understand 1097 what 5101 those things were which 3739 He had been saying 2980 to them.
7 ¶ So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them again 3825, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, I am 1510 the door 2374 of the sheep 4263.
8 "All 3956 who 3745 came 2064 before 4253 Me are thieves 2812 and robbers 3027, but the sheep 4263 did not hear 191 them.
9 "I am 1510 the door 2374; if 1437 anyone 5100 enters 1525 through 1223 Me, he will be saved 4982, and will go in and out and find 2147 pasture 3542.
10 "The thief 2812 comes 2064 only to steal 2813 and kill 2380 and destroy 622; I came 2064 that they may have 2192 life 2222, and have 2192 {it} abundantly 4053.
11 ¶ "I am 1510 the good 2570 shepherd 4166; the good 2570 shepherd 4166 lays 5087 down 5087 His life 5590 for the sheep 4263.
12 "He who is a hired 3411 hand 3411, and not a shepherd 4166, who 3739 is not the owner 2398 of the sheep 4263, sees 2334 the wolf 3074 coming 2064, and leaves 863 the sheep 4263 and flees 5343, and the wolf 3074 snatches 726 them and scatters 4650 {them.}
13 "{He flees} because 3754 he is a hired 3411 hand 3411 and is not concerned 3199 about 4012 the sheep 4263.
14 "I am 1510 the good 2570 shepherd 4166, and I know 1097 My own 1699 and My own 1699 know 1097 Me,
15 even 2531 as the Father 3962 knows 1097 Me and I know 1097 the Father 3962; and I lay 5087 down 5087 My life 5590 for the sheep 4263.
16 "I have 2192 other 243 sheep 4263, which 3739 are not of this 3778 fold 833; I must 1163 bring 71 them also 2548, and they will hear 191 My voice 5456; and they will become 1096 one 1520 flock 4167 {with} one 1520 shepherd 4166.
17 "For this 3778 reason 1223 the Father 3962 loves 25 Me, because 3754 I lay 5087 down 5087 My life 5590 so 2443 that I may take 2983 it again 3825.
18 "No 3762 one 3762 has taken 142 it away 142 from Me, but I lay 5087 it down 5087 on My own 1683 initiative 1683. I have 2192 authority 1849 to lay 5087 it down 5087, and I have 2192 authority 1849 to take 2983 it up again 3825. This 3778 commandment 1785 I received 2983 from My Father 3962."
19 ¶ A division 4978 occurred 1096 again 3825 among 1722 the Jews 2453 because 1223 of these 3778 words 3056.
20 Many 4183 of them were saying 3004, "He has 2192 a demon 1140 and is insane 3105. Why 5101 do you listen 191 to Him?"
21 Others 243 were saying 3004, "These 3778 are not the sayings 4487 of one demon-possessed 1139. A demon 1140 cannot open 455 the eyes 3788 of the blind 5185, can he?"
22

Jesus Asserts His Deity

¶ At that time 5119 the Feast 1456 of the Dedication 1456 took 1096 place 1096 at Jerusalem 2414;
23 it was winter 5494, and Jesus 2424 was walking 4043 in the temple 2413 in the portico 4745 of Solomon 4672.
24 The Jews 2453 then 3767 gathered 2944 around 2944 Him, and were saying 3004 to Him, "How 2193 long will You keep 142 us in suspense? If 1487 You are the Christ 5547, tell 3004 us plainly 3954."
25 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "I told 3004 you, and you do not believe 4100; the works 2041 that I do 4160 in My Father's 3962 name 3686, these 3778 testify 3140 of Me.
26 "But you do not believe 4100 because 3754 you are not of My sheep 4263.
27 "My sheep 4263 hear 191 My voice 5456, and I know 1097 them, and they follow 190 Me;
28 and I give 1325 eternal 166 life 2222 to them, and they will never perish 622; and no 3756 one 5100 will snatch 726 them out of My hand 5495.
29 "My Father 3962, who 3739 has given 1325 {them} to Me, is greater 3173 than all 3956; and no 3762 one 3762 is able 1410 to snatch 726 {them} out of the Father's 3962 hand 5495.
30 "I and the Father 3962 are one 1520."
31 ¶ The Jews 2453 picked 941 up stones 3037 again 3825 to stone 3034 Him.
32 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "I showed 1166 you many 4183 good 2570 works 2041 from the Father 3962; for which 4169 of them are you stoning 3034 Me?"
33 The Jews 2453 answered 611 Him, "For a good 2570 work 2041 we do not stone 3034 You, but for blasphemy 988; and because 3754 You, being 1510 a man 444, make 4160 Yourself 4572 out {to be} God 2316."
34 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "Has it not been 1510 written 1125 in your Law 3551, 'I SAID 3004, YOU ARE GODS 2316'?
35 "If 1487 he called 3004 them gods 2316, to whom 3739 the word 3056 of God 2316 came 1096 (and the Scripture 1124 cannot be broken 3089),
36 do you say 3004 of Him, whom 3739 the Father 3962 sanctified 37 and sent 649 into the world 2889, 'You are blaspheming 987,' because 3754 I said 3004, 'I am 1510 the Son 5207 of God 2316'?
37 "If 1487 I do not do 4160 the works 2041 of My Father 3962, do not believe 4100 Me;
38 but if 1487 I do 4160 them, though 2579 you do not believe 4100 Me, believe 4100 the works 2041, so 2443 that you may know 1097 and understand 1097 that the Father 3962 is in Me, and I in the Father 3962."
39 Therefore 3767 they were seeking 2212 again 3825 to seize 4084 Him, and He eluded 1831 their grasp 5495.
40 ¶ And He went 565 away 565 again 3825 beyond 4008 the Jordan 2446 to the place 5117 where 3699 John 2491 was first 4413 baptizing 907, and He was staying 3306 there 1563.
41 Many 4183 came 2064 to Him and were saying 3004, "While 3303 John 2491 performed 4160 no 3762 sign 4592, yet 1161 everything 3956 John 2491 said 3004 about 4012 this 3778 man 3778 was true 227."
42 Many 4183 believed 4100 in Him there 1563.

Chapter 11

The Death and Resurrection of Lazarus

Now 1161 a certain 5100 man 5100 was sick 770, Lazarus 2976 of Bethany 963, the village 2968 of Mary 3137 and her sister 79 Martha 3136.
2 It was the Mary 3137 who anointed 218 the Lord 2962 with ointment 3464, and wiped 1591 His feet 4228 with her hair 2359, whose 3739 brother 80 Lazarus 2976 was sick 770.
3 So 3767 the sisters 79 sent 649 {word} to Him, saying 3004, "Lord 2962, behold 2396, he whom 3739 You love 5368 is sick 770."
4 But when Jesus 2424 heard 191 {this,} He said 3004, "This 3778 sickness 769 is not to end 4314 in death 2288, but for the glory 1391 of God 2316, so 2443 that the Son 5207 of God 2316 may be glorified 1392 by it."
5 Now 1161 Jesus 2424 loved 25 Martha 3136 and her sister 79 and Lazarus 2976.
6 So 3767 when 5613 He heard 191 that he was sick 770, He then 5119 stayed 3306 two 1417 days 2250 {longer} in the place 5117 where 3739 He was.
7 Then 1899 after 3326 this 3778 He said 3004 to the disciples 3101, "Let us go 71 to Judea 2453 again 3825."
8 The disciples 3101 said 3004 to Him, "Rabbi 4461, the Jews 2453 were just 3568 now 3568 seeking 2212 to stone 3034 You, and are You going 5217 there 1563 again 3825?"
9 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "Are there 1563 not twelve 1427 hours 5610 in the day 2250? If 1437 anyone 5100 walks 4043 in the day 2250, he does not stumble 4350, because 3754 he sees 991 the light 5457 of this 3778 world 2889.
10 "But if 1437 anyone 5100 walks 4043 in the night 3571, he stumbles 4350, because 3754 the light 5457 is not in him."
11 This 3778 He said 3004, and after 3326 that He said 3004 to them, "Our friend 5384 Lazarus 2976 has fallen 2837 asleep 2837; but I go 4198, so 2443 that I may awaken 1852 him out of sleep 1852."
12 The disciples 3101 then 3767 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, if 1487 he has fallen 2837 asleep 2837, he will recover 4982."
13 Now 1161 Jesus 2424 had spoken 3004 of his death 2288, but they thought 1380 that He was speaking 3004 of literal 2838 sleep 5258.
14 So 3767 Jesus 2424 then 3767 said 3004 to them plainly 3954, "Lazarus 2976 is dead 599,
15 and I am 5463 glad 5463 for your sakes 1223 that I was not there 1563, so 2443 that you may believe 4100; but let us go 71 to him."
16 Therefore 3767 Thomas 2381, who is called 3004 Didymus 1324, said 3004 to {his} fellow 4827 disciples 4827, "Let us also 2532 go 71, so 3767 that we may die 599 with Him."
17 ¶ So 3767 when Jesus 2424 came 2064, He found 2147 that he had already 2235 been 2192 in the tomb 3419 four 5064 days 2250.
18 Now 1161 Bethany 963 was near 1451 Jerusalem 2414, about 5613 two 1178 miles 4712 off 575;
19 and many 4183 of the Jews 2453 had come 2064 to Martha 3136 and Mary 3137, to console 3888 them concerning 4012 {their} brother 80.
20 Martha 3136 therefore 3767, when 5613 she heard 191 that Jesus 2424 was coming 2064, went 5221 to meet 5221 Him, but Mary 3137 stayed 2516 at the house 3624.
21 Martha 3136 then 3767 said 3004 to Jesus 2424, "Lord 2962, if 1487 You had been 1510 here 5602, my brother 80 would not have died 599.
22 "Even 2532 now 3568 I know 3609 that whatever You ask 154 of God 2316, God 2316 will give 1325 You."
23 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Your brother 80 will rise 450 again 450."
24 Martha 3136 said 3004 to Him, "I know 3609 that he will rise 450 again 450 in the resurrection 386 on the last 2078 day 2250."
25 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "I am 1510 the resurrection 386 and the life 2222; he who believes 4100 in Me will live 2198 even 2579 if 2579 he dies 599,
26 and everyone 3956 who lives 2198 and believes 4100 in Me will never die 599. Do you believe 4100 this 3778?"
27 She said 3004 to Him, "Yes 3483, Lord 2962; I have believed 4100 that You are the Christ 5547, the Son 5207 of God 2316, {even} He who comes 2064 into the world 2889."
28 ¶ When she had said 3004 this 3778, she went 565 away 565 and called 5455 Mary 3137 her sister 79, saying 3004 secretly 2977, "The Teacher 1320 is here 3918 and is calling 5455 for you."
29 And when 5613 she heard 191 it, she got 1453 up quickly 5035 and was coming 2064 to Him.
30 ¶ Now 1161 Jesus 2424 had not yet 3768 come 2064 into the village 2968, but was still 2089 in the place 5117 where 3699 Martha 3136 met 5221 Him.
31 Then 3767 the Jews 2453 who were with her in the house 3614, and consoling 3888 her, when they saw 3708 that Mary 3137 got 450 up quickly 5030 and went 1831 out, they followed 190 her, supposing 1380 that she was going 5217 to the tomb 3419 to weep 2799 there 1563.
32 Therefore 3767, when 5613 Mary 3137 came 2064 where 3699 Jesus 2424 was, she saw 3708 Him, and fell 4098 at His feet 4228, saying 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, if 1487 You had been 1510 here 5602, my brother 80 would not have died 599."
33 When 5613 Jesus 2424 therefore 3767 saw 3708 her weeping 2799, and the Jews 2453 who came 4905 with her {also} weeping 2799, He was deeply 1690 moved 1690 in spirit 4151 and was troubled 5015,
34 and said 3004, "Where 4226 have you laid 5087 him?" They said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, come 2064 and see 3708."
35 Jesus 2424 wept 1145.
36 So 3767 the Jews 2453 were saying 3004, "See 2396 how 4459 He loved 5368 him!"
37 But some 5100 of them said 3004, "Could 1410 not this 3778 man 3778, who opened 455 the eyes 3788 of the blind 5185 man 3778, have 4160 kept 4160 this 3778 man 3778 also 2532 from dying 599?"
38 ¶ So 3767 Jesus 2424, again 3825 being deeply 1690 moved 1690 within, came 2064 to the tomb 3419. Now 1161 it was a cave 4693, and a stone 3037 was lying 1945 against 1909 it.
39 Jesus 2424 said 3004, "Remove 142 the stone 3037." Martha 3136, the sister 79 of the deceased 5053, said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, by this 2235 time 2235 there will be a stench 3605, for he has been 1510 {dead} four 5066 days 5066."
40 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Did I not say 3004 to you that if 1437 you believe 4100, you will see 3708 the glory 1391 of God 2316?"
41 So 3767 they removed 142 the stone 3037. Then 1161 Jesus 2424 raised 142 His eyes 3788, and said 3004, "Father 3962, I thank 2168 You that You have heard 191 Me.
42 "I knew 3609 that You always 3842 hear 191 Me; but because 1223 of the people 3793 standing 4026 around 4026 I said 3004 it, so 2443 that they may believe 4100 that You sent 649 Me."
43 When He had said 3004 these 3778 things 3778, He cried 2905 out with a loud 3173 voice 5456, "Lazarus 2976, come 1204 forth 1854."
44 The man who had died 2348 came 1831 forth 1831, bound 1210 hand 5495 and foot 4228 with wrappings 2750, and his face 3799 was wrapped 4019 around 4019 with a cloth 4676. Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Unbind 3089 him, and let 863 him go 5217."
45 ¶ Therefore 3767 many 4183 of the Jews 2453 who came 2064 to Mary 3137, and saw 2300 what 3739 He had done 4160, believed 4100 in Him.
46 But some 5100 of them went 565 to the Pharisees 5330 and told 3004 them the things which 3739 Jesus 2424 had done 4160.
47

Conspiracy to Kill Jesus

¶ Therefore 3767 the chief 749 priests 749 and the Pharisees 5330 convened 4863 a council 4892, and were saying 3004, "What 5101 are we doing 4160? For this 3778 man 444 is performing 4160 many 4183 signs 4592.
48 "If 1437 we let 863 Him {go on} like 3779 this 3779, all 3956 men 3956 will believe 4100 in Him, and the Romans 4514 will come 2064 and take 142 away 142 both 2532 our place 5117 and our nation 1484."
49 But one 1520 of them, Caiaphas 2533, who was high 749 priest 749 that year 1763, said 3004 to them, "You know 3609 nothing 3762 at all 3762,
50 nor 3761 do you take 3049 into account 3049 that it is expedient 4851 for you that one 1520 man 444 die 599 for the people 2992, and that the whole 3650 nation 1484 not perish 622."
51 Now 1161 he did not say 3004 this 3778 on his own 1438 initiative 1438, but being 1510 high 749 priest 749 that year 1763, he prophesied 4395 that Jesus 2424 was going 3195 to die 599 for the nation 1484,
52 and not for the nation 1484 only 3440, but in order 2443 that He might also 2532 gather 4863 together 4863 into one 1520 the children 5043 of God 2316 who are scattered 1287 abroad 1287.
53 So 3767 from that day 2250 on they planned 1011 together 1011 to kill 615 Him.
54 ¶ Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 no 3765 longer 3765 continued to walk 4043 publicly 3954 among 1722 the Jews 2453, but went 565 away 565 from there 1564 to the country 5561 near 1451 the wilderness 2048, into a city 4172 called 3004 Ephraim 2187; and there 2546 He stayed 3306 with the disciples 3101.
55 ¶ Now 1161 the Passover 3957 of the Jews 2453 was near 1451, and many 4183 went 305 up to Jerusalem 2414 out of the country 5561 before 4253 the Passover 3957 to purify 48 themselves 1438.
56 So 3767 they were seeking 2212 for Jesus 2424, and were saying 3004 to one 240 another 240 as they stood 2476 in the temple 2413, "What 5101 do you think 1380; that He will not come 2064 to the feast 1859 at all?"
57 Now 1161 the chief 749 priests 749 and the Pharisees 5330 had given 1325 orders 1785 that if 1437 anyone 5100 knew 1097 where 4226 He was, he was to report 3377 it, so 3704 that they might seize 4084 Him.

Mary Anoints Jesus

Jesus 2424, therefore 3767, six 1803 days 2250 before 4253 the Passover 3957, came 2064 to Bethany 963 where 3699 Lazarus 2976 was, whom 3739 Jesus 2424 had raised 1453 from the dead 3498.
2 So 3767 they made 4160 Him a supper 1173 there 1563, and Martha 3136 was serving 1247; but Lazarus 2976 was one 1520 of those 3588 reclining 345 {at the} {table} with Him.
3 Mary 3137 then 3767 took 2983 a pound 3046 of very 4186 costly 4186 perfume 3464 of pure 4101 nard 3487, and anointed 218 the feet 4228 of Jesus 2424 and wiped 1591 His feet 4228 with her hair 2359; and the house 3614 was filled 4137 with the fragrance 3744 of the perfume 3464.
4 But Judas 2455 Iscariot 2469, one 1520 of His disciples 3101, who was intending 3195 to betray 3860 Him, said 3004,
5 "Why was this 3778 perfume 3464 not sold 4097 for three 5145 hundred 5145 denarii 1220 and given 1325 to poor 4434 {people?}"
6 Now 1161 he said 3004 this 3778, not because 3754 he was concerned 3199 about 4012 the poor 4434, but because 3754 he was a thief 2812, and as he had 2192 the money 1101 box 1101, he used to pilfer 941 what was put 906 into it.
7 Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004, "Let 863 her alone 863, so 2443 that she may keep 5083 it for the day 2250 of My burial 1780.
8 "For you always 3842 have 2192 the poor 4434 with you, but you do not always 3842 have 2192 Me."
9 ¶ The large 4183 crowd 3793 of the Jews 2453 then 3767 learned 1097 that He was there 1563; and they came 2064, not for Jesus' 2424 sake 1223 only 3440, but that they might also 2532 see 3708 Lazarus 2976, whom 3739 He raised 1453 from the dead 3498.
10 But the chief 749 priests 749 planned 1011 to put 615 Lazarus 2976 to death 615 also 2532;
11 because 3754 on account 1223 of him many 4183 of the Jews 2453 were going 5217 away 5217 and were believing 4100 in Jesus 2424.
12

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

¶ On the next 1887 day 1887 the large 4183 crowd 3793 who had come 2064 to the feast 1859, when they heard 191 that Jesus 2424 was coming 2064 to Jerusalem 2414,
13 took 2983 the branches 902 of the palm 5404 trees 5404 and went 1831 out to meet 5222 Him, and {began} to shout 2905, "Hosanna 5614! BLESSED 2127 IS HE WHO COMES 2064 IN THE NAME 3686 OF THE LORD 2962, even 2532 the King 935 of Israel 2474."
14 Jesus 2424, finding 2147 a young 3678 donkey 3678, sat 2523 on it; as it is written 1125,
15 "FEAR 5399 NOT, DAUGHTER 2364 OF ZION 4622; BEHOLD 2400, YOUR KING 935 IS COMING 2064, SEATED 2521 ON A DONKEY'S 3688 COLT 4454."
16 These 3778 things 3778 His disciples 3101 did not understand 1097 at the first 4413; but when 3753 Jesus 2424 was glorified 1392, then 5119 they remembered 3403 that these 3778 things 3778 were written 1125 of Him, and that they had done 4160 these 3778 things 3778 to Him.
17 So 3767 the people 3793, who were with Him when 3753 He called 5455 Lazarus 2976 out of the tomb 3419 and raised 1453 him from the dead 3498, continued 3140 to testify 3140 {about Him.}
18 For this 3778 reason 1223 also 2532 the people 3793 went 5221 and met 5221 Him, because 3754 they heard 191 that He had performed 4160 this 3778 sign 4592.
19 So 3767 the Pharisees 5330 said 3004 to one 1438 another 1438, "You see 2334 that you are not doing 5623 any 3762 good 5623; look 2396, the world 2889 has gone 565 after 3694 Him."
20

Greeks Seek Jesus

¶ Now 1161 there 1563 were some 5100 Greeks 1672 among 1537 those 3588 who were going 305 up to worship 4352 at the feast 1859;
21 these 3778 then 3767 came 4334 to Philip 5376, who 3588 was from Bethsaida 966 of Galilee 1056, and {began to} ask 2065 him, saying 3004, "Sir 2962, we wish 2309 to see 3708 Jesus 2424."
22 Philip 5376 came 2064 and told 3004 Andrew 406; Andrew 406 and Philip 5376 came 2064 and told 3004 Jesus 2424.
23 And Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, saying 3004, "The hour 5610 has come 2064 for the Son 5207 of Man 444 to be glorified 1392.
24 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, unless a grain 2848 of wheat 4621 falls 4098 into the earth 1093 and dies 599, it remains 3306 alone 3441; but if 1437 it dies 599, it bears 5342 much 4183 fruit 2590.
25 "He who loves 5368 his life 5590 loses 622 it, and he who hates 3404 his life 5590 in this 3778 world 2889 will keep 5442 it to life 2222 eternal 166.
26 "If 1437 anyone 5100 serves 1247 Me, he must follow 190 Me; and where 3699 I am 1510, there 1563 My servant 1249 will be also 2532; if 1437 anyone 5100 serves 1247 Me, the Father 3962 will honor 5091 him.
27

Jesus Foretells His Death

"Now 3568 My soul 5590 has become troubled 5015; and what 5101 shall I say 3004, 'Father 3962, save 4982 Me from this 3778 hour 5610'? But for this 3778 purpose I came 2064 to this 3778 hour 5610.
28 "Father 3962, glorify 1392 Your name 3686." Then 3767 a voice 5456 came 2064 out of heaven 3772: "I have both 2532 glorified 1392 it, and will glorify 1392 it again 3825."
29 So 3767 the crowd 3793 {of people} who stood 2476 by and heard 191 it were saying 3004 that it had thundered; others 243 were saying 3004, "An angel 32 has spoken 2980 to Him."
30 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004, "This 3778 voice 5456 has not come 1096 for My sake 1223, but for your sakes 1223.
31 "Now 3568 judgment 2920 is upon this 3778 world 2889; now 3568 the ruler 758 of this 3778 world 2889 will be cast 1544 out.
32 "And I, if 1437 I am lifted 5312 up from the earth 1093, will draw 1670 all 3956 men 3956 to Myself 1683."
33 But He was saying 3004 this 3778 to indicate 4591 the kind 4169 of death 2288 by which 4169 He was to die 599.
34 The crowd 3793 then 3767 answered 611 Him, "We have heard 191 out of the Law 3551 that the Christ 5547 is to remain 3306 forever 165; and how 4459 can You say 3004, 'The Son 5207 of Man 444 must 1163 be lifted 5312 up'? Who 5101 is this 3778 Son 5207 of Man 444?"
35 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "For a little 3398 while 5550 longer 2089 the Light 5457 is among 1722 you. Walk 4043 while 5613 you have 2192 the Light 5457, so 2443 that darkness 4653 will not overtake 2638 you; he who walks 4043 in the darkness 4653 does not know 3609 where 4226 he goes 5217.
36 "While 5613 you have 2192 the Light 5457, believe 4100 in the Light 5457, so 2443 that you may become 1096 sons 5207 of Light 5457."
37 ¶ But though He had performed 4160 so 5118 many 5118 signs 4592 before 1715 them, {yet} they were not believing 4100 in Him.
38 {This was} to fulfill 4137 the word 3056 of Isaiah 2268 the prophet 4396 which 3739 he spoke 3004: "LORD 2962, WHO 5101 HAS BELIEVED 4100 OUR REPORT 189? AND TO WHOM 5101 HAS THE ARM 1023 OF THE LORD 2962 BEEN REVEALED 601?"
39 For this 3778 reason 1223 they could 1410 not believe 4100, for Isaiah 2268 said 3004 again 3825,
40 "HE HAS BLINDED 5186 THEIR EYES 3788 AND HE HARDENED 4456 THEIR HEART 2588, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE 3708 WITH THEIR EYES 3788 AND PERCEIVE 3539 WITH THEIR HEART 2588, AND BE CONVERTED 4762 AND I HEAL 2390 THEM."
41 These 3778 things 3778 Isaiah 2268 said 3004 because 3754 he saw 3708 His glory 1391, and he spoke 2980 of Him.
42 Nevertheless many 4183 even 2532 of the rulers 758 believed 4100 in Him, but because 1223 of the Pharisees 5330 they were not confessing 3670 {Him,} for fear that they would be put 656 out of the synagogue 656;
43 for they loved 25 the approval 1391 of men 444 rather 3123 than 2228 the approval 1391 of God 2316.
44 ¶ And Jesus 2424 cried 2896 out and said 3004, "He who believes 4100 in Me, does not believe 4100 in Me but in Him who sent 3992 Me.
45 "He who sees 2334 Me sees 2334 the One who sent 3992 Me.
46 "I have come 2064 {as} Light 5457 into the world 2889, so 2443 that everyone 3956 who believes 4100 in Me will not remain 3306 in darkness 4653.
47 "If 1437 anyone 5100 hears 191 My sayings 4487 and does not keep 5442 them, I do not judge 2919 him; for I did not come 2064 to judge 2919 the world 2889, but to save 4982 the world 2889.
48 "He who rejects 114 Me and does not receive 2983 My sayings 4487, has 2192 one who judges 2919 him; the word 3056 I spoke 2980 is what 1565 will judge 2919 him at the last 2078 day 2250.
49 "For I did not speak 2980 on My own 1683 initiative 1683, but the Father 3962 Himself 846 who sent 3992 Me has given 1325 Me a commandment 1785 {as to} what 5101 to say 3004 and what 5101 to speak 2980.
50 "I know 3609 that His commandment 1785 is eternal 166 life 2222; therefore 3767 the things I speak 2980, I speak 2980 just 2531 as the Father 3962 has told 3004 Me."

Chapter 13

The Lord's Supper

Now 1161 before 4253 the Feast 1859 of the Passover 3957, Jesus 2424 knowing 3609 that His hour 5610 had come 2064 that He would depart 3327 out of this 3778 world 2889 to the Father 3962, having loved 25 His own 2398 who 3588 were in the world 2889, He loved 25 them to the end 5056.
2 During 1096 supper 1173, the devil 1228 having already 2235 put 906 into the heart 2588 of Judas 2455 Iscariot 2469, {the son} of Simon 4613, to betray 3860 Him,
3 {Jesus,} knowing 3609 that the Father 3962 had given 1325 all 3956 things 3956 into His hands 5495, and that He had come 1831 forth 1831 from God 2316 and was going 5217 back 5217 to God 2316,
4 got 1453 up from supper 1173, and laid 5087 aside 5087 His garments 2440; and taking 2983 a towel 3012, He girded 1241 Himself 1438.
5

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

Then 1534 He poured 906 water 5204 into the basin 3537, and began 757 to wash 3538 the disciples' 3101 feet 4228 and to wipe 1591 them with the towel 3012 with which 3739 He was girded 1241.
6 So 3767 He came 2064 to Simon 4613 Peter 4074. He said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, do You wash 3538 my feet 4228?"
7 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "What 3739 I do 4160 you do not realize 3609 now 737, but you will understand 1097 hereafter."
8 Peter 4074 said 3004 to Him, "Never shall You wash 3538 my feet 4228!" Jesus 2424 answered 611 him, "If 1437 I do not wash 3538 you, you have 2192 no 3756 part 3313 with Me."
9 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, {then wash} not only 3440 my feet 4228, but also 2532 my hands 5495 and my head 2776."
10 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "He who has bathed 3068 needs 5532 only to wash 3538 his feet 4228, but is completely 3650 clean 2513; and you are clean 2513, but not all 3956 {of you.}"
11 For He knew 3609 the one who was betraying 3860 Him; for this 3778 reason 1223 He said 3004, "Not all 3956 of you are clean 2513."
12 ¶ So 3767 when 3753 He had washed 3538 their feet 4228, and taken 2983 His garments 2440 and reclined 377 {at the table} again 3825, He said 3004 to them, "Do you know 1097 what 5101 I have done 4160 to you?
13 "You call 5455 Me Teacher 1320 and Lord 2962; and you are right 2573, for {so} I am 1510.
14 "If 1487 I then 3767, the Lord 2962 and the Teacher 1320, washed 3538 your feet 4228, you also 2532 ought 3784 to wash 3538 one 240 another's 240 feet 4228.
15 "For I gave 1325 you an example 5262 that you also 2532 should do 4160 as I did 4160 to you.
16 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, a slave 1401 is not greater 3173 than his master 2962, nor 3761 {is} one 652 who is sent 652 greater 3173 than the one who sent 3992 him.
17 "If 1487 you know 3609 these 3778 things 3778, you are blessed 3107 if 1437 you do 4160 them.
18 "I do not speak 3004 of all 3956 of you. I know 3609 the ones 5100 I have chosen 1586; but {it is} that the Scripture 1124 may be fulfilled 4137, 'HE WHO EATS 5176 MY BREAD 740 HAS LIFTED 1869 UP HIS HEEL 4418 AGAINST 1909 ME.'
19 "From now 737 on I am telling 3004 you before 4253 {it} comes 1096 to pass 1096, so 2443 that when 3752 it does occur 1096, you may believe 4100 that I am 1510 {He.}
20 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who receives 2983 whomever I send 3992 receives 2983 Me; and he who receives 2983 Me receives 2983 Him who sent 3992 Me."
21

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

¶ When Jesus 2424 had said 3004 this 3778, He became troubled 5015 in spirit 4151, and testified 3140 and said 3004, "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, that one 1520 of you will betray 3860 Me."
22 The disciples 3101 {began} looking 991 at one 240 another 240, at a loss 639 {to know} of which 5101 one 5101 He was speaking 3004.
23 There was reclining 345 on Jesus' 2424 bosom 2859 one 1520 of His disciples 3101, whom 3739 Jesus 2424 loved 25.
24 So 3767 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 gestured 3506 to him, and said 3004 to him, "Tell 3004 {us} who 5101 it is of whom 3739 He is speaking 3004."
25 He, leaning 377 back 377 thus 3779 on Jesus' 2424 bosom 4738, said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, who 5101 is it?"
26 Jesus 2424 then 3767 answered 611, "That is the one for whom 3739 I shall dip 911 the morsel 5596 and give 1325 it to him." So 3767 when He had dipped 911 the morsel 5596, He took 2983 and gave 1325 it to Judas 2455, {the son} of Simon 4613 Iscariot 2469.
27 After 3326 the morsel 5596, Satan 4567 then 5119 entered 1525 into him. Therefore 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "What 3739 you do 4160, do 4160 quickly 5036."
28 Now 1161 no 3762 one 3762 of those 3588 reclining 345 {at the table} knew 1097 for what 5101 purpose He had said 3004 this 3778 to him.
29 For some 5100 were supposing 1380, because 1893 Judas 2455 had 2192 the money 1101 box 1101, that Jesus 2424 was saying 3004 to him, "Buy 59 the things we have 2192 need 5532 of for the feast 1859"; or 2228 else 2228, that he should give 1325 something 5100 to the poor 4434.
30 So 3767 after receiving 2983 the morsel 5596 he went 1831 out immediately 2117; and it was night 3571.
31 ¶ Therefore 3767 when 3753 he had gone 1831 out, Jesus 2424 said 3004, "Now 3568 is the Son 5207 of Man 444 glorified 1392, and God 2316 is glorified 1392 in Him;
32 if 1487 God 2316 is glorified 1392 in Him, God 2316 will also 2532 glorify 1392 Him in Himself 846, and will glorify 1392 Him immediately 2117.
33 "Little 5040 children 5040, I am 1510 with you a little 3398 while 3398 longer 2089. You will seek 2212 Me; and as I said 3004 to the Jews 2453, now 737 I also 2532 say 3004 to you, 'Where 3699 I am going 5217, you cannot come 1831.'
34 "A new 2537 commandment 1785 I give 1325 to you, that you love 25 one 240 another 240, even 2531 as I have loved 25 you, that you also 2532 love 25 one 240 another 240.
35 "By this 3778 all 3956 men 3956 will know 1097 that you are My disciples 3101, if 1437 you have 2192 love 26 for one 240 another 240."
36 ¶ Simon 4613 Peter 4074 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, where 4226 are You going 5217?" Jesus 2424 answered 611, "Where 3699 I go 5217, you cannot follow 190 Me now 3568; but you will follow 190 later 5305."
37 Peter 4074 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, why can 1410 I not follow 190 You right 737 now 737? I will lay 5087 down 5087 my life 5590 for You."
38 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "Will you lay 5087 down 5087 your life 5590 for Me? Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, a rooster 220 will not crow 5455 until 2193 you deny 720 Me three 5151 times 5151.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

"Do not let your heart 2588 be troubled 5015; believe 4100 in God 2316, believe 4100 also 2532 in Me.
2 "In My Father's 3962 house 3614 are many 4183 dwelling 3438 places 3438; if 1487 it were not so, I would have told 3004 you; for I go 4198 to prepare 2090 a place 5117 for you.
3 "If 1437 I go 4198 and prepare 2090 a place 5117 for you, I will come 2064 again 3825 and receive 3880 you to Myself 1683, that where 3699 I am 1510, {there} you may be also 2532.
4 "And you know 3609 the way 3598 where 3699 I am going 5217."
5 Thomas 2381 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, we do not know 3609 where 4226 You are going 5217, how 4459 do we know 3609 the way 3598?"
6 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "I am 1510 the way 3598, and the truth 225, and the life 2222; no 3762 one 3762 comes 2064 to the Father 3962 but through 1223 Me.

Oneness with the Father

"If 1487 you had known 1097 Me, you would have known 3609 My Father 3962 also 2532; from now 737 on you know 1097 Him, and have seen 3708 Him."
8 ¶ Philip 5376 said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, show 1166 us the Father 3962, and it is enough 714 for us."
9 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Have I been 1510 so 5118 long with you, and {yet} you have not come to know 1097 Me, Philip 5376? He who has seen 3708 Me has seen 3708 the Father 3962; how 4459 {can} you say 3004, 'Show 1166 us the Father 3962'?
10 "Do you not believe 4100 that I am in the Father 3962, and the Father 3962 is in Me? The words 4487 that I say 3004 to you I do not speak 2980 on My own 1683 initiative 1683, but the Father 3962 abiding 3306 in Me does 4160 His works 2041.
11 "Believe 4100 Me that I am in the Father 3962 and the Father 3962 is in Me; otherwise 1490 believe 4100 because 1223 of the works 2041 themselves 846.
12 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, he who believes 4100 in Me, the works 2041 that I do 4160, he will do 4160 also 2548; and greater 3173 {works} than these 3778 he will do 4160; because 3754 I go 4198 to the Father 3962.
13 "Whatever 3739 you ask 154 in My name 3686, that will I do 4160, so 2443 that the Father 3962 may be glorified 1392 in the Son 5207.
14 "If 1437 you ask 154 Me anything 5100 in My name 3686, I will do 4160 {it.}
15 ¶ "If 1437 you love 25 Me, you will keep 5083 My commandments 1785.
16

Role of the Spirit

"I will ask 2065 the Father 3962, and He will give 1325 you another 243 Helper 3875, that He may be with you forever 165;
17 {that is} the Spirit 4151 of truth 225, whom 3739 the world 2889 cannot receive 2983, because 3754 it does not see 2334 Him or 3761 know 1097 Him, {but} you know 1097 Him because 3754 He abides 3306 with you and will be in you.
18 ¶ "I will not leave 863 you as orphans 3737; I will come 2064 to you.
19 "After 2089 a little 3398 while 3398 the world 2889 will no 3765 longer 3765 see 2334 Me, but you {will} see 2334 Me; because 3754 I live 2198, you will live 2198 also 2532.
20 "In that day 2250 you will know 1097 that I am in My Father 3962, and you in Me, and I in you.
21 "He who has 2192 My commandments 1785 and keeps 5083 them is the one 1565 who loves 25 Me; and he who loves 25 Me will be loved 25 by My Father 3962, and I will love 25 him and will disclose 1718 Myself 1683 to him."
22 Judas 2455 (not Iscariot 2469) said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, what 5101 then 2532 has happened 1096 that You are going 3195 to disclose 1718 Yourself 4572 to us and not to the world 2889?"
23 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "If 1437 anyone 5100 loves 25 Me, he will keep 5083 My word 3056; and My Father 3962 will love 25 him, and We will come 2064 to him and make 4160 Our abode 3438 with him.
24 "He who does not love 25 Me does not keep 5083 My words 3056; and the word 3056 which 3739 you hear 191 is not Mine 1699, but the Father's 3962 who sent 3992 Me.
25 ¶ "These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you while abiding 3306 with you.
26 "But the Helper 3875, the Holy 40 Spirit 4151, whom 3739 the Father 3962 will send 3992 in My name 3686, He will teach 1321 you all 3956 things 3956, and bring 5279 to your remembrance 5279 all 3956 that I said 3004 to you.
27 "Peace 1515 I leave 863 with you; My peace 1515 I give 1325 to you; not as the world 2889 gives 1325 do I give 1325 to you. Do not let your heart 2588 be troubled 5015, nor 3366 let it be fearful 1168.
28 "You heard 191 that I said 3004 to you, 'I go 5217 away 5217, and I will come 2064 to you.' If 1487 you loved 25 Me, you would have rejoiced 5463 because 3754 I go 4198 to the Father 3962, for the Father 3962 is greater 3173 than I.
29 "Now 3568 I have told 3004 you before 4250 it happens 1096, so 2443 that when 3752 it happens 1096, you may believe 4100.
30 "I will not speak 2980 much 4183 more 3765 with you, for the ruler 758 of the world 2889 is coming 2064, and he has 2192 nothing in Me;
31 but so 3779 that the world 2889 may know 1097 that I love 25 the Father 3962, I do 4160 exactly 3779 as the Father 3962 commanded 1781 Me. Get 1453 up, let us go 71 from here 1782.

Chapter 15

Jesus Is the Vine--Followers Are Branches

"I am 1510 the true 228 vine 288, and My Father 3962 is the vinedresser 1092.
2 "Every 3956 branch 2814 in Me that does not bear 5342 fruit 2590, He takes 142 away 142; and every 3956 {branch} that bears 5342 fruit 2590, He prunes 2508 it so 2443 that it may bear 5342 more 4183 fruit 2590.
3 "You are already 2235 clean 2513 because 1223 of the word 3056 which 3739 I have spoken 2980 to you.
4 "Abide 3306 in Me, and I in you. As the branch 2814 cannot bear 5342 fruit 2590 of itself 1438 unless it abides 3306 in the vine 288, so 3779 neither 3761 {can} you unless you abide 3306 in Me.
5 "I am 1510 the vine 288, you are the branches 2814; he who abides 3306 in Me and I in him, he bears 5342 much 4183 fruit 2590, for apart 5565 from Me you can 1410 do 4160 nothing.
6 "If 1437 anyone 5100 does not abide 3306 in Me, he is thrown 906 away 1854 as a branch 2814 and dries 3583 up; and they gather 4863 them, and cast 906 them into the fire 4442 and they are burned 2545.
7 "If 1437 you abide 3306 in Me, and My words 4487 abide 3306 in you, ask 154 whatever you wish 2309, and it will be done 1096 for you.
8 "My Father 3962 is glorified 1392 by this 3778, that you bear 5342 much 4183 fruit 2590, and {so} prove 1096 to be My disciples 3101.
9 "Just 2531 as the Father 3962 has loved 25 Me, I have also 2532 loved 25 you; abide 3306 in My love 26.
10 "If 1437 you keep 5083 My commandments 1785, you will abide 3306 in My love 26; just 2531 as I have kept 5083 My Father's 3962 commandments 1785 and abide 3306 in His love 26.
11 "These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you so 2443 that My joy 5479 may be in you, and {that} your joy 5479 may be made 4137 full 4137.
12

Disciples' Relation to Each Other

"This 3778 is My commandment 1785, that you love 25 one 240 another 240, just 2531 as I have loved 25 you.
13 "Greater 3173 love 26 has 2192 no 3762 one 3762 than this 3778, that one 5100 lay 5087 down 5087 his life 5590 for his friends 5384.
14 "You are My friends 5384 if 1437 you do 4160 what 3739 I command 1781 you.
15 "No 3765 longer 3765 do I call 3004 you slaves 1401, for the slave 1401 does not know 3609 what 5101 his master 2962 is doing 4160; but I have called 3004 you friends 5384, for all 3956 things 3956 that I have heard 191 from My Father 3962 I have made 1107 known 1107 to you.
16 "You did not choose 1586 Me but I chose 1586 you, and appointed 5087 you that you would go 5217 and bear 5342 fruit 2590, and {that} your fruit 2590 would remain 3306, so 2443 that whatever you ask 154 of the Father 3962 in My name 3686 He may give 1325 to you.
17 "This 3778 I command 1781 you, that you love 25 one 240 another 240.
18

Disciples' Relation to the World

"If 1487 the world 2889 hates 3404 you, you know 1097 that it has hated 3404 Me before 4413 {it hated} you.
19 "If 1487 you were of the world 2889, the world 2889 would love 5368 its own 2398; but because 3754 you are not of the world 2889, but I chose 1586 you out of the world 2889, because 3754 of this the world 2889 hates 3404 you.
20 "Remember 3421 the word 3056 that I said 3004 to you, 'A slave 1401 is not greater 3173 than his master 2962.' If 1487 they persecuted 1377 Me, they will also 2532 persecute 1377 you; if 1487 they kept 5083 My word 3056, they will keep 5083 yours 5212 also 2532.
21 "But all 3956 these 3778 things 3778 they will do 4160 to you for My name's 3686 sake 1223, because 3754 they do not know 3609 the One who sent 3992 Me.
22 "If 1487 I had not come 2064 and spoken 2980 to them, they would not have 2192 sin 266, but now 3568 they have 2192 no 3756 excuse 4392 for their sin 266.
23 "He who hates 3404 Me hates 3404 My Father 3962 also 2532.
24 "If 1487 I had not done 4160 among 1722 them the works 2041 which 3739 no 3762 one 3762 else 243 did 4160, they would not have 2192 sin 266; but now 3568 they have both 2532 seen 3708 and hated 3404 Me and My Father 3962 as well 2532.
25 "But {they have done this} to fulfill 4137 the word 3056 that is written 1125 in their Law 3551, 'THEY HATED 3404 ME WITHOUT 1431 A CAUSE 1431.'
26 ¶ "When 3752 the Helper 3875 comes 2064, whom 3739 I will send 3992 to you from the Father 3962, {that is} the Spirit 4151 of truth 225 who 3739 proceeds 1607 from the Father 3962, He will testify 3140 about 4012 Me,
27 and you {will} testify 3140 also 2532, because 3754 you have been 1510 with Me from the beginning 746.

Jesus' Warning

"These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you so 2443 that you may be kept 3361 from stumbling 4624.
2 "They will make 4160 you outcasts 656 from the synagogue 656, but an hour 5610 is coming 2064 for everyone 3956 who kills 615 you to think 1380 that he is offering 4374 service 2999 to God 2316.
3 "These 3778 things 3778 they will do 4160 because 3754 they have not known 1097 the Father 3962 or 3761 Me.
4 "But these 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you, so 2443 that when 3752 their hour 5610 comes 2064, you may remember 3421 that I told 3004 you of them. These 3778 things 3778 I did not say 3004 to you at the beginning 746, because 3754 I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

"But now 3568 I am going 5217 to Him who sent 3992 Me; and none 3762 of you asks 2065 Me, 'Where 4226 are You going 5217?'
6 "But because 3754 I have said 2980 these 3778 things 3778 to you, sorrow 3077 has filled 4137 your heart 2588.
7 "But I tell 3004 you the truth 225, it is to your advantage 4851 that I go 565 away 565; for if 1437 I do not go 565 away 565, the Helper 3875 will not come 2064 to you; but if 1437 I go 4198, I will send 3992 Him to you.
8 "And He, when He comes 2064, will convict 1651 the world 2889 concerning 4012 sin 266 and righteousness 1343 and judgment 2920;
9 concerning 4012 sin 266, because 3754 they do not believe 4100 in Me;
10 and concerning 4012 righteousness 1343, because 3754 I go 5217 to the Father 3962 and you no 3765 longer 3765 see 2334 Me;
11 and concerning 4012 judgment 2920, because 3754 the ruler 758 of this 3778 world 2889 has been judged 2919.
12 ¶ "I have 2192 many 4183 more 2089 things 4183 to say 3004 to you, but you cannot bear 941 {them} now 737.
13 "But when 3752 He, the Spirit 4151 of truth 225, comes 2064, He will guide 3594 you into all 3956 the truth 225; for He will not speak 2980 on His own 1438 initiative 1438, but whatever 3745 He hears 191, He will speak 2980; and He will disclose 312 to you what is to come 2064.
14 "He will glorify 1392 Me, for He will take 2983 of Mine 1699 and will disclose 312 {it} to you.
15 "All 3956 things 3956 that the Father 3962 has 2192 are Mine 1699; therefore I said 3004 that He takes 2983 of Mine 1699 and will disclose 312 {it} to you.
16

Jesus' Death and Resurrection Foretold

"A little 3398 while 3398, and you will no 3765 longer 3765 see 3708 Me; and again 3825 a little 3398 while 3398, and you will see 3708 Me."
17 {Some} of His disciples 3101 then 3767 said 3004 to one 240 another 240, "What 5101 is this 3778 thing 3778 He is telling 3004 us, 'A little 3398 while 3398, and you will not see 3708 Me; and again 3825 a little 3398 while 3398, and you will see 3708 Me'; and, 'because 3754 I go 5217 to the Father 3962'?"
18 So 3767 they were saying 3004, "What 5101 is this 3778 that He says 3004, 'A little 3398 while 3398'? We do not know 3609 what 5101 He is talking 2980 about."
19 Jesus 2424 knew 1097 that they wished 2309 to question 2065 Him, and He said 3004 to them, "Are you deliberating 2212 together about 4012 this 3778, that I said 3004, 'A little 3398 while 3398, and you will not see 3708 Me, and again 3825 a little 3398 while 3398, and you will see 3708 Me'?
20 "Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, that you will weep 2799 and lament 2354, but the world 2889 will rejoice 5463; you will grieve 3076, but your grief 3077 will be turned 1096 into joy 5479.
21 "Whenever 3752 a woman 1135 is in labor 5088 she has 2192 pain 3077, because 3754 her hour 5610 has come 2064; but when 3752 she gives 1080 birth 1080 to the child 3813, she no 3765 longer 3765 remembers 3421 the anguish 2347 because 3754 of the joy 5479 that a child 444 has been born 1080 into the world 2889.
22 "Therefore 3767 you too 2532 have 2192 grief 3077 now 3568; but I will see 3708 you again 3825, and your heart 2588 will rejoice 5463, and no 3762 one 3762 {will} take 142 your joy 5479 away 142 from you.

Prayer Promises

"In that day 2250 you will not question 2065 Me about anything 5100. Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, if 302 you ask 154 the Father 3962 for anything 5100 in My name 3686, He will give 1325 it to you.
24 "Until 2193 now 737 you have asked 154 for nothing 3762 in My name 3686; ask 154 and you will receive 2983, so 2443 that your joy 5479 may be made 4137 full 4137.
25 ¶ "These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you in figurative 3942 language 3942; an hour 5610 is coming 2064 when 3753 I will no 3765 longer 3765 speak 2980 to you in figurative 3942 language 3942, but will tell 518 you plainly 3954 of the Father 3962.
26 "In that day 2250 you will ask 154 in My name 3686, and I do not say 3004 to you that I will request 2065 of the Father 3962 on your behalf 4012;
27 for the Father 3962 Himself 846 loves 5368 you, because 3754 you have loved 5368 Me and have believed 4100 that I came 1831 forth 1831 from the Father 3962.
28 "I came 1831 forth 1831 from the Father 3962 and have come 2064 into the world 2889; I am leaving 863 the world 2889 again 3825 and going 4198 to the Father 3962."
29 ¶ His disciples 3101 said 3004, "Lo 2396, now 3568 You are speaking 2980 plainly 3954 and are not using 3004 a figure 3942 of speech 3942.
30 "Now 3568 we know 3609 that You know 3609 all 3956 things 3956, and have 2192 no 3756 need 5532 for anyone 5100 to question 2065 You; by this 3778 we believe 4100 that You came 1831 from God 2316."
31 Jesus 2424 answered 611 them, "Do you now 737 believe 4100?
32 "Behold 2400, an hour 5610 is coming 2064, and has {already} come 2064, for you to be scattered 4650, each 1538 to his own 2398 {home,} and to leave 863 Me alone 3441; and {yet} I am 1510 not alone 3441, because 3754 the Father 3962 is with Me.
33 "These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you, so 2443 that in Me you may have 2192 peace 1515. In the world 2889 you have 2192 tribulation 2347, but take 2293 courage 2293; I have overcome 3528 the world 2889."

The High Priestly Prayer

Jesus 2424 spoke 2980 these 3778 things 3778; and lifting 1869 up His eyes 3788 to heaven 3772, He said 3004, "Father 3962, the hour 5610 has come 2064; glorify 1392 Your Son 5207, that the Son 5207 may glorify 1392 You,
2 even 2531 as You gave 1325 Him authority 1849 over all 3956 flesh 4561, that to all 3956 whom 3739 You have given 1325 Him, He may give 1325 eternal 166 life 2222.
3 "This 3778 is eternal 166 life 2222, that they may know 1097 You, the only 3441 true 228 God 2316, and Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 whom 3739 You have sent 649.
4 "I glorified 1392 You on the earth 1093, having accomplished 5048 the work 2041 which 3739 You have given 1325 Me to do 4160.
5 "Now 3568, Father 3962, glorify 1392 Me together 3844 with Yourself 4572, with the glory 1391 which 3739 I had 2192 with You before 4253 the world 2889 was.
6 ¶ "I have manifested 5319 Your name 3686 to the men 444 whom 3739 You gave 1325 Me out of the world 2889; they were Yours 4771 and You gave 1325 them to Me, and they have kept 5083 Your word 3056.
7 "Now 3568 they have come to know 1097 that everything 3956 You have given 1325 Me is from You;
8 for the words 4487 which 3739 You gave 1325 Me I have given 1325 to them; and they received 2983 {them} and truly 230 understood 1097 that I came 1831 forth 1831 from You, and they believed 4100 that You sent 649 Me.
9 "I ask 2065 on their behalf 4012; I do not ask 2065 on behalf 4012 of the world 2889, but of those whom 3739 You have given 1325 Me; for they are Yours 4771;
10 and all 3956 things 3956 that are Mine 1699 are Yours 4674, and Yours 4674 are Mine 1699; and I have been glorified 1392 in them.
11 "I am 1510 no 3765 longer 3765 in the world 2889; and {yet} they themselves 846 are in the world 2889, and I come 2064 to You. Holy 40 Father 3962, keep 5083 them in Your name 3686, {the name} which 3739 You have given 1325 Me, that they may be one 1520 even 2531 as We {are.}
12 "While 3753 I was with them, I was keeping 5083 them in Your name 3686 which 3739 You have given 1325 Me; and I guarded 5442 them and not one 3762 of them perished 622 but the son 5207 of perdition 684, so 2443 that the Scripture 1124 would be fulfilled 4137.
13

The Disciples in the World

"But now 3568 I come 2064 to You; and these 3778 things 3778 I speak 2980 in the world 2889 so 2443 that they may have 2192 My joy 5479 made 4137 full 4137 in themselves 1438.
14 "I have given 1325 them Your word 3056; and the world 2889 has hated 3404 them, because 3754 they are not of the world 2889, even 2531 as I am 1510 not of the world 2889.
15 "I do not ask 2065 You to take 142 them out of the world 2889, but to keep 5083 them from the evil 4190 {one.}
16 "They are not of the world 2889, even 2531 as I am 1510 not of the world 2889.
17 "Sanctify 37 them in the truth 225; Your word 3056 is truth 225.
18 "As You sent 649 Me into the world 2889, I also 2532 have sent 649 them into the world 2889.
19 "For their sakes 5228 I sanctify 37 Myself 1683, that they themselves 846 also 2532 may be sanctified 37 in truth 225.
20 ¶ "I do not ask 2065 on behalf 4012 of these 3778 alone 3441, but for those 3588 also 2532 who believe 4100 in Me through 1223 their word 3056;
21 that they may all 3956 be one 1520; even 2531 as You, Father 3962, {are} in Me and I in You, that they also 2532 may be in Us, so 2443 that the world 2889 may believe 4100 that You sent 649 Me.
22

Their Future Glory

"The glory 1391 which 3739 You have given 1325 Me I have given 1325 to them, that they may be one 1520, just 2531 as We are one 1520;
23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected 5048 in unity 1520, so 2443 that the world 2889 may know 1097 that You sent 649 Me, and loved 25 them, even 2531 as You have loved 25 Me.
24 "Father 3962, I desire 2309 that they also 2548, whom 3739 You have given 1325 Me, be with Me where 3699 I am 1510, so 2443 that they may see 2334 My glory 1391 which 3739 You have given 1325 Me, for You loved 25 Me before 4253 the foundation 2602 of the world 2889.
25 ¶ "O righteous 1342 Father 3962, although 2532 the world 2889 has not known 1097 You, yet 1161 I have known 1097 You; and these 3778 have known 1097 that You sent 649 Me;
26 and I have made 1107 Your name 3686 known 1107 to them, and will make 1107 it known 1107, so 2443 that the love 26 with which 3739 You loved 25 Me may be in them, and I in them."

Judas Betrays Jesus

When Jesus 2424 had spoken 3004 these 3778 words, He went 1831 forth 1831 with His disciples 3101 over 4008 the ravine 5493 of the Kidron 2748, where 3699 there was a garden 2779, in which 3739 He entered 1525 with His disciples 3101.
2 Now 1161 Judas 2455 also 2532, who was betraying 3860 Him, knew 3609 the place 5117, for Jesus 2424 had often 4178 met 4863 there 1563 with His disciples 3101.
3 Judas 2455 then 3767, having received 2983 the {Roman} cohort 4686 and officers 5257 from the chief 749 priests 749 and the Pharisees 5330, came 2064 there 1563 with lanterns 5322 and torches 2985 and weapons 3696.
4 So 3767 Jesus 2424, knowing 3609 all 3956 the things 3956 that were coming 2064 upon Him, went 1831 forth 1831 and said 3004 to them, "Whom 5101 do you seek 2212?"
5 They answered 611 Him, "Jesus 2424 the Nazarene 3480." He said 3004 to them, "I am 1510 {He.}" And Judas 2455 also 2532, who was betraying 3860 Him, was standing 2476 with them.
6 So 3767 when 5613 He said 3004 to them, "I am 1510 {He,}" they drew 565 back 3694 and fell 4098 to the ground 5476.
7 Therefore 3767 He again 3825 asked 1905 them, "Whom 5101 do you seek 2212?" And they said 3004, "Jesus 2424 the Nazarene 3480."
8 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "I told 3004 you that I am 1510 {He;} so 3767 if 1487 you seek 2212 Me, let 863 these 3778 go 5217 their way 5217,"
9 to fulfill 4137 the word 3056 which 3739 He spoke 3004, "Of those whom 3739 You have given 1325 Me I lost 622 not one 3762."
10 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 then 3767, having 2192 a sword 3162, drew 1670 it and struck 3817 the high 749 priest's 749 slave 1401, and cut 609 off 609 his right 1188 ear 5621; and the slave's 1401 name 3686 was Malchus 3124.
11 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to Peter 4074, "Put 906 the sword 3162 into the sheath 2336; the cup 4221 which 3739 the Father 3962 has given 1325 Me, shall I not drink 4095 it?"
12

Jesus before the Priests

So 3767 the {Roman} cohort 4686 and the commander 5506 and the officers 5257 of the Jews 2453, arrested 4815 Jesus 2424 and bound 1210 Him,
13 and led 71 Him to Annas 452 first 4413; for he was father-in-law 3995 of Caiaphas 2533, who 3739 was high 749 priest 749 that year 1763.
14 Now 1161 Caiaphas 2533 was the one who had advised 4823 the Jews 2453 that it was expedient 4851 for one 1520 man 444 to die 599 on behalf 5228 of the people 2992.
15 ¶ Simon 4613 Peter 4074 was following 190 Jesus 2424, and {so} {was} another 243 disciple 3101. Now 1161 that disciple 3101 was known 1110 to the high 749 priest 749, and entered 4897 with Jesus 2424 into the court 833 of the high 749 priest 749,
16 but Peter 4074 was standing 2476 at the door 2374 outside 1854. So 3767 the other 243 disciple 3101, who was known 1110 to the high 749 priest 749, went 1831 out and spoke 3004 to the doorkeeper 2377, and brought 1521 Peter 4074 in.
17 Then 3767 the slave-girl 3814 who kept 2377 the door 2377 said 3004 to Peter 4074, "You are not also 2532 {one} of this 3778 man's 444 disciples 3101, are you?" He said 3004, "I am 1510 not."
18 Now 1161 the slaves 1401 and the officers 5257 were standing 2476 {there,} having made 4160 a charcoal 439 fire 439, for it was cold 5592 and they were warming 2328 themselves; and Peter 4074 was also 2532 with them, standing 2476 and warming 2328 himself.
19 ¶ The high 749 priest 749 then 3767 questioned 2065 Jesus 2424 about 4012 His disciples 3101, and about 4012 His teaching 1322.
20 Jesus 2424 answered 611 him, "I have spoken 2980 openly 3954 to the world 2889; I always 3842 taught 1321 in synagogues 4864 and in the temple 2413, where 3699 all 3956 the Jews 2453 come 4905 together 4905; and I spoke 2980 nothing 3762 in secret 2927.
21 "Why 5101 do you question 2065 Me? Question 2065 those 3588 who have heard 191 what 5101 I spoke 2980 to them; they know 3609 what 3739 I said 3004."
22 When He had said 3004 this 3778, one 1520 of the officers 5257 standing 3936 nearby 3936 struck Jesus 2424, saying 3004, "Is that the way 3779 You answer 611 the high 749 priest 749?"
23 Jesus 2424 answered 611 him, "If 1487 I have spoken 2980 wrongly 2560, testify 3140 of the wrong 2556; but if 1487 rightly 2573, why 5101 do you strike 1194 Me?"
24 So 3767 Annas 452 sent 649 Him bound 1210 to Caiaphas 2533 the high 749 priest 749.
25

Peter's Denial of Jesus

Now 1161 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 was standing 2476 and warming 2328 himself. So 3767 they said 3004 to him, "You are not also 2532 {one} of His disciples 3101, are you?" He denied 720 {it,} and said 3004, "I am 1510 not."
26 One 1520 of the slaves 1401 of the high 749 priest 749, being 1510 a relative 4773 of the one whose 3739 ear 5621 Peter 4074 cut 609 off 609, said 3004, "Did I not see 3708 you in the garden 2779 with Him?"
27 Peter 4074 then 3767 denied 720 {it} again 3825, and immediately 2112 a rooster 220 crowed 5455.
28

Jesus before Pilate

Then 3767 they led 71 Jesus 2424 from Caiaphas 2533 into the Praetorium 4232, and it was early 4404; and they themselves 846 did not enter 1525 into the Praetorium 4232 so 2443 that they would not be defiled 3392, but might eat 2068 the Passover 3957.
29 Therefore 3767 Pilate 4091 went 1831 out to them and said 5346, "What 5101 accusation 2724 do you bring 5342 against this 3778 Man 444?"
30 They answered 611 and said 3004 to him, "If 1487 this 3778 Man 3778 were not an evildoer 2556, we would not have delivered 3860 Him to you."
31 So 3767 Pilate 4091 said 3004 to them, "Take 2983 Him yourselves 4771, and judge 2919 Him according 2596 to your law 3551." The Jews 2453 said 3004 to him, "We are not permitted 1832 to put 615 anyone 3762 to death 615,"
32 to fulfill 4137 the word 3056 of Jesus 2424 which 3739 He spoke 3004, signifying 4591 by what 4169 kind 4169 of death 2288 He was about 3195 to die 599.
33 ¶ Therefore 3767 Pilate 4091 entered 1525 again 3825 into the Praetorium 4232, and summoned 5455 Jesus 2424 and said 3004 to Him, "Are You the King 935 of the Jews 2453?"
34 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "Are you saying 3004 this 3778 on your own 1438 initiative 1438, or 2228 did others 243 tell 3004 you about 4012 Me?"
35 Pilate 4091 answered 611, "I am 1510 not a Jew 2453, am I? Your own nation 1484 and the chief 749 priests 749 delivered 3860 You to me; what 5101 have You done 4160?"
36 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "My kingdom 932 is not of this 3778 world 2889. If 1487 My kingdom 932 were of this 3778 world 2889, then My servants 5257 would be fighting 75 so 2443 that I would not be handed 3860 over to the Jews 2453; but as it is, My kingdom 932 is not of this 1782 realm 1782."
37 Therefore 3767 Pilate 4091 said 3004 to Him, "So 3766 You are a king 935?" Jesus 2424 answered 611, "You say 3004 {correctly} that I am 1510 a king 935. For this 3778 I have been born 1080, and for this 3778 I have come 2064 into the world 2889, to testify 3140 to the truth 225. Everyone 3956 who is of the truth 225 hears 191 My voice 5456."
38 Pilate 4091 said 3004 to Him, "What 5101 is truth 225?"
39 ¶ "But you have a custom 4914 that I release 630 someone 1520 for you at the Passover 3957; do you wish 1014 then 3767 that I release 630 for you the King 935 of the Jews 2453?"
40 So 3767 they cried 2905 out again 3825, saying 3004, "Not this 3778 Man 3778, but Barabbas 912." Now 1161 Barabbas 912 was a robber 3027.

Chapter 19

The Crown of Thorns

Pilate 4091 then 3767 took 2983 Jesus 2424 and scourged 3146 Him.
2 And the soldiers 4757 twisted 4120 together a crown 4735 of thorns 173 and put 2007 it on His head 2776, and put 2007 a purple 4210 robe 2440 on Him;
3 and they {began} to come 2064 up to Him and say 3004, "Hail 5463, King 935 of the Jews 2453!" and to give 1325 Him slaps 4475 {in the face.}
4 Pilate 4091 came 1831 out again 3825 and said 3004 to them, "Behold 2396, I am bringing 71 Him out to you so 2443 that you may know 1097 that I find 2147 no 3762 guilt 156 in Him."
5 Jesus 2424 then 3767 came 1831 out, wearing 5409 the crown 4735 of thorns 174 and the purple 4210 robe 2440. {Pilate} said 3004 to them, "Behold 2400, the Man 444!"
6 So 3767 when 3753 the chief 749 priests 749 and the officers 5257 saw 3708 Him, they cried 2905 out saying 3004, "Crucify 4717, crucify 4717!" Pilate 4091 said 3004 to them, "Take 2983 Him yourselves 4771 and crucify 4717 Him, for I find 2147 no 3756 guilt 156 in Him."
7 The Jews 2453 answered 611 him, "We have 2192 a law 3551, and by that law 3551 He ought 3784 to die 599 because 3754 He made 4160 Himself 1438 out {to} {be} the Son 5207 of God 2316."
8 ¶ Therefore 3767 when 3753 Pilate 4091 heard 191 this 3778 statement 3056, he was {even} more 3123 afraid 5399;
9 and he entered 1525 into the Praetorium 4232 again 3825 and said 3004 to Jesus 2424, "Where 4159 are You from?" But Jesus 2424 gave 1325 him no 3756 answer 612.
10 So 3767 Pilate 4091 said 3004 to Him, "You do not speak 2980 to me? Do You not know 3609 that I have 2192 authority 1849 to release 630 You, and I have 2192 authority 1849 to crucify 4717 You?"
11 Jesus 2424 answered 611, "You would have 2192 no authority 1849 over 2596 Me, unless it had been 1510 given 1325 you from above 509; for this 3778 reason 1223 he who delivered 3860 Me to you has 2192 {the} greater 3173 sin 266."
12 As a result 1537 of this 3778 Pilate 4091 made 2212 efforts 2212 to release 630 Him, but the Jews 2453 cried 2905 out saying 3004, "If 1437 you release 630 this 3778 Man 3778, you are no 3756 friend 5384 of Caesar 2541; everyone 3956 who makes 4160 himself 1438 out {to be} a king 935 opposes 483 Caesar 2541."
13 ¶ Therefore 3767 when Pilate 4091 heard 191 these 3778 words 3056, he brought 71 Jesus 2424 out, and sat 2523 down 2523 on the judgment 968 seat 968 at a place 5117 called 3004 The Pavement 3038, but in Hebrew 1447, Gabbatha 1042.
14 Now 1161 it was the day 3904 of preparation 3904 for the Passover 3957; it was about 5613 the sixth 1623 hour 5610. And he said 3004 to the Jews 2453, "Behold 2396, your King 935!"
15 So 3767 they cried 2905 out, "Away 142 with {Him,} away 142 with {Him,} crucify 4717 Him!" Pilate 4091 said 3004 to them, "Shall I crucify 4717 your King 935?" The chief 749 priests 749 answered 611, "We have 2192 no 3756 king 935 but Caesar 2541."
16

The Crucifixion

So 3767 he then 5119 handed 3860 Him over to them to be crucified 4717.
17 ¶ They took 3880 Jesus 2424, therefore 3767, and He went 1831 out, bearing 941 His own 1438 cross 4716, to the place called 3004 the Place 5117 of a Skull 2898, which 3739 is called 3004 in Hebrew 1447, Golgotha 1115.
18 There 3699 they crucified 4717 Him, and with Him two 1417 other 243 men 243, one on either 1782 side 1782, and Jesus 2424 in between 3319.
19 Pilate 4091 also 2532 wrote 1125 an inscription 5102 and put 5087 it on the cross 4716. It was written 1125, "JESUS 2424 THE NAZARENE 3480, THE KING 935 OF THE JEWS 2453."
20 Therefore 3767 many 4183 of the Jews 2453 read 314 this 3778 inscription 5102, for the place 5117 where 3699 Jesus 2424 was crucified 4717 was near 1451 the city 4172; and it was written 1125 in Hebrew 1447, Latin 4515 {and} in Greek 1676.
21 So 3767 the chief 749 priests 749 of the Jews 2453 were saying 3004 to Pilate 4091, "Do not write 1125, 'The King 935 of the Jews 2453'; but that He said 3004, 'I am 1510 King 935 of the Jews 2453.'"
22 Pilate 4091 answered 611, "What 3739 I have written 1125 I have written 1125."
23 ¶ Then 3767 the soldiers 4757, when 3753 they had crucified 4717 Jesus 2424, took 2983 His outer 2440 garments 2440 and made 4160 four 5064 parts 3313, a part 3313 to every 1538 soldier 4757 and {also} the tunic 5509; now 1161 the tunic 5509 was seamless 690, woven 5307 in one 3650 piece 3650.
24 So 3767 they said 3004 to one 240 another 240, "Let us not tear 4977 it, but cast 2975 lots 2975 for it, {to decide} whose 5101 it shall be"; {this was} to fulfill 4137 the Scripture 1124: "THEY DIVIDED 1266 MY OUTER 2440 GARMENTS 2440 AMONG 1266 THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING 2441 THEY CAST 906 LOTS 2819."
25 Therefore 3767 the soldiers 4757 did 4160 these 3778 things 3778.
26 ¶ When Jesus 2424 then 3767 saw 3708 His mother 3384, and the disciple 3101 whom 3739 He loved 25 standing 3936 nearby 3936, He said 3004 to His mother 3384, "Woman 1135, behold 2396, your son 5207!"
27 Then 1534 He said 3004 to the disciple 3101, "Behold 2396, your mother 3384!" From that hour 5610 the disciple 3101 took 2983 her into his own 2398 {household.}
28 ¶ After 3326 this 3778, Jesus 2424, knowing 3609 that all 3956 things 3956 had already 2235 been accomplished 5055, to fulfill 5048 the Scripture 1124, said 3004, "I am 1372 thirsty 1372."
29 A jar 4632 full 3324 of sour 3690 wine 3690 was standing 2749 there; so 3767 they put 4060 a sponge 4699 full 3324 of the sour 3690 wine 3690 upon {a branch} {of} hyssop 5301 and brought 4374 it up to His mouth 4750.
30 Therefore 3767 when 3753 Jesus 2424 had received 2983 the sour 3690 wine 3690, He said 3004, "It is finished 5055!" And He bowed 2827 His head 2776 and gave 3860 up His spirit 4151.
31

Care of the Body of Jesus

¶ Then 3767 the Jews 2453, because 1893 it was the day 3904 of preparation 3904, so 2443 that the bodies 4983 would not remain 3306 on the cross 4716 on the Sabbath 4521 (for that Sabbath 4521 was a high 3173 day 3904), asked 2065 Pilate 4091 that their legs 4628 might be broken 2608, and {that} they might be taken 142 away 142.
32 So 3767 the soldiers 4757 came 2064, and broke 2608 the legs 4628 of the first 4413 man 4413 and of the other 243 who was crucified 4957 with Him;
33 but coming 2064 to Jesus 2424, when 5613 they saw 3708 that He was already 2235 dead 2348, they did not break 2608 His legs 4628.
34 But one 1520 of the soldiers 4757 pierced 3572 His side 4125 with a spear 3057, and immediately 2117 blood 129 and water 5204 came 1831 out.
35 And he who has seen 3708 has testified 3140, and his testimony 3140 is true 228; and he knows 3609 that he is telling 3004 the truth 227, so 2443 that you also 2532 may believe 4100.
36 For these 3778 things 3778 came 1096 to pass 1096 to fulfill 4137 the Scripture 1124, "NOT A BONE 3747 OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN 4937."
37 And again 3825 another 2087 Scripture 1124 says 3004, "THEY SHALL LOOK 3708 ON HIM WHOM 3739 THEY PIERCED 1574."
38 ¶ After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 Joseph 2501 of Arimathea 707, being 1510 a disciple 3101 of Jesus 2424, but a secret 2928 {one} for fear 5401 of the Jews 2453, asked 2065 Pilate 4091 that he might take 142 away 142 the body 4983 of Jesus 2424; and Pilate 4091 granted 2010 permission 2010. So 3767 he came 2064 and took 142 away 142 His body 4983.
39 Nicodemus 3530, who had first 4413 come 2064 to Him by night 3571, also 2532 came 2064, bringing 5342 a mixture 3395 of myrrh 4666 and aloes 250, about 5613 a hundred 1540 pounds 3046 {weight.}
40 So 3767 they took 2983 the body 4983 of Jesus 2424 and bound 1210 it in linen 3608 wrappings 3608 with the spices 759, as is the burial 1779 custom 1485 of the Jews 2453.
41 Now 1161 in the place 5117 where 3699 He was crucified 4717 there was a garden 2779, and in the garden 2779 a new 2537 tomb 3419 in which 3739 no 3762 one 3762 had yet 3764 been 1510 laid 5087.
42 Therefore 3767 because 1223 of the Jewish 2453 day 3904 of preparation 3904, since 3754 the tomb 3419 was nearby 1451, they laid 5087 Jesus 2424 there 1563.

Chapter 20

The Empty Tomb

Now 1161 on the first 1520 {day} of the week 4521 Mary 3137 Magdalene 3094 came 2064 early 4404 to the tomb 3419, while it was still 2089 dark 4653, and saw 991 the stone 3037 {already} taken 142 away 142 from the tomb 3419.
2 So 3767 she ran 5143 and came 2064 to Simon 4613 Peter 4074 and to the other 243 disciple 3101 whom 3739 Jesus 2424 loved 5368, and said 3004 to them, "They have taken 142 away 142 the Lord 2962 out of the tomb 3419, and we do not know 3609 where 4226 they have laid 5087 Him."
3 So 3767 Peter 4074 and the other 243 disciple 3101 went 1831 forth 1831, and they were going 2064 to the tomb 3419.
4 The two 1417 were running 5143 together 3674; and the other 243 disciple 3101 ran 4390 ahead 4390 faster 5036 than Peter 4074 and came 2064 to the tomb 3419 first 4413;
5 and stooping 3879 and looking 3879 in, he saw 991 the linen 3608 wrappings 3608 lying 2749 {there;} but he did not go 1525 in.
6 And so 3767 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 also 2532 came 2064, following 190 him, and entered 1525 the tomb 3419; and he saw 2334 the linen 3608 wrappings 3608 lying 2749 {there,}
7 and the face-cloth 4676 which 3739 had been 1510 on His head 2776, not lying 2749 with the linen 3608 wrappings 3608, but rolled 1794 up in a place 5117 by itself 5565.
8 So 3767 the other 243 disciple 3101 who had first 4413 come 2064 to the tomb 3419 then 5119 also 2532 entered 1525, and he saw 3708 and believed 4100.
9 For as yet 3764 they did not understand 3609 the Scripture 1124, that He must 1163 rise 450 again 450 from the dead 3498.
10 So 3767 the disciples 3101 went 565 away 565 again 3825 to their own 1438 homes 848.
11 ¶ But Mary 3137 was standing 2476 outside 1854 the tomb 3419 weeping 2799; and so 3767, as she wept 2799, she stooped 3879 and looked 3879 into the tomb 3419;
12 and she saw 2334 two 1417 angels 32 in white 3022 sitting 2516, one 1520 at the head 2776 and one 1520 at the feet 4228, where 3699 the body 4983 of Jesus 2424 had been lying 2749.
13 And they said 3004 to her, "Woman 1135, why 5101 are you weeping 2799?" She said 3004 to them, "Because 3754 they have taken 142 away 142 my Lord 2962, and I do not know 3609 where 4226 they have laid 5087 Him."
14 When she had said 3004 this 3778, she turned 4762 around 3694 and saw 2334 Jesus 2424 standing 2476 {there,} and did not know 3609 that it was Jesus 2424.
15 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Woman 1135, why 5101 are you weeping 2799? Whom 5101 are you seeking 2212?" Supposing 1380 Him to be the gardener 2780, she said 3004 to Him, "Sir 2962, if 1487 you have carried 941 Him away 941, tell 3004 me where 4226 you have laid 5087 Him, and I will take 142 Him away 142."
16 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Mary 3137!" She turned 4762 and said 3004 to Him in Hebrew 1447, "Rabboni 4462!" (which 3739 means 3004, Teacher 1320).
17 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, "Stop 3361 clinging 681 to Me, for I have not yet 3768 ascended 305 to the Father 3962; but go 4198 to My brethren 80 and say 3004 to them, 'I ascend 305 to My Father 3962 and your Father 3962, and My God 2316 and your God 2316.'"
18 Mary 3137 Magdalene 3094 came 2064, announcing 31 to the disciples 3101, "I have seen 3708 the Lord 2962," and {that} He had said 3004 these 3778 things 3778 to her.
19

Jesus among His Disciples

¶ So 3767 when it was evening 3798 on that day 2250, the first 1520 {day} of the week 4521, and when the doors 2374 were shut 2808 where 3699 the disciples 3101 were, for fear 5401 of the Jews 2453, Jesus 2424 came 2064 and stood 2476 in their midst 3319 and said 3004 to them, "Peace 1515 {be} with you."
20 And when He had said 3004 this 3778, He showed 1166 them both 2532 His hands 5495 and His side 4125. The disciples 3101 then 3767 rejoiced 5463 when they saw 3708 the Lord 2962.
21 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them again 3825, "Peace 1515 {be} with you; as the Father 3962 has sent 649 Me, I also 2532 send 3992 you."
22 And when He had said 3004 this 3778, He breathed 1720 on them and said 3004 to them, "Receive 2983 the Holy 40 Spirit 4151.
23 "If 302 you forgive 863 the sins 266 of any 5100, {their sins} have been forgiven 863 them; if 302 you retain 2902 the {sins} of any 5100, they have been retained 2902."
24 ¶ But Thomas 2381, one 1520 of the twelve 1427, called 3004 Didymus 1324, was not with them when 3753 Jesus 2424 came 2064.
25 So 3767 the other 243 disciples 3101 were saying 3004 to him, "We have seen 3708 the Lord 2962!" But he said 3004 to them, "Unless I see 3708 in His hands 5495 the imprint 5179 of the nails 2247, and put 906 my finger 1147 into the place 5117 of the nails 2247, and put 906 my hand 5495 into His side 4125, I will not believe 4100."
26 ¶ After 3326 eight 3638 days 2250 His disciples 3101 were again 3825 inside 2080, and Thomas 2381 with them. Jesus 2424 came 2064, the doors 2374 having been shut 2808, and stood 2476 in their midst 3319 and said 3004, "Peace 1515 {be} with you."
27 Then 1534 He said 3004 to Thomas 2381, "Reach 5342 here 5602 with your finger 1147, and see 3708 My hands 5495; and reach 5342 here your hand 5495 and put 906 it into My side 4125; and do not be unbelieving 571, but believing 4103."
28 Thomas 2381 answered 611 and said 3004 to Him, "My Lord 2962 and my God 2316!"
29 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Because 3754 you have seen 3708 Me, have you believed 4100? Blessed 3107 {are} they who did not see 3708, and {yet} believed 4100."
30

Why This Gospel Was Written

Therefore 3767 many 4183 other 243 signs 4592 Jesus 2424 also 2532 performed 4160 in the presence 1799 of the disciples 3101, which 3739 are not written 1125 in this 3778 book 975;
31 but these 3778 have been written 1125 so 2443 that you may believe 4100 that Jesus 2424 is the Christ 5547, the Son 5207 of God 2316; and that believing 4100 you may have 2192 life 2222 in His name 3686.

Chapter 21


1

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

After 3326 these 3778 things 3778 Jesus 2424 manifested 5319 Himself 1438 again 3825 to the disciples 3101 at the Sea 2281 of Tiberias 5085, and He manifested 5319 {Himself} in this 3779 way 3779.
2 Simon 4613 Peter 4074, and Thomas 2381 called 3004 Didymus 1324, and Nathanael 3482 of Cana 2580 in Galilee 1056, and the {sons} of Zebedee 2199, and two 1417 others 243 of His disciples 3101 were together 3674.
3 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 said 3004 to them, "I am going 5217 fishing 232." They said 3004 to him, "We will also 2532 come 2064 with you." They went 1831 out and got 1684 into the boat 4143; and that night 3571 they caught 4084 nothing 3762.
4 ¶ But when the day 4407 was now 2235 breaking, Jesus 2424 stood 2476 on the beach 123; yet 3305 the disciples 3101 did not know 3609 that it was Jesus 2424.
5 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Children 3813, you do not have 2192 any 5100 fish 4371, do you?" They answered 611 Him, "No 3756."
6 And He said 3004 to them, "Cast 906 the net 1350 on the right-hand 1188 side 3313 of the boat 4143 and you will find 2147 {a catch.}" So 3767 they cast 906, and then 3765 they were not able 2480 to haul 1670 it in because 575 of the great 4128 number 4128 of fish 2486.
7 Therefore 3767 that disciple 3101 whom 3739 Jesus 2424 loved 25 said 3004 to Peter 4074, "It is the Lord 2962." So 3767 when Simon 4613 Peter 4074 heard 191 that it was the Lord 2962, he put 1241 his outer 1903 garment 1903 on (for he was stripped 1131 {for work}), and threw 906 himself 1438 into the sea 2281.
8 But the other 243 disciples 3101 came 2064 in the little 4142 boat 4142, for they were not far 3112 from the land 1093, but about 5613 one 1250 hundred 1250 yards 4083 away 575, dragging 4951 the net 1350 {full} of fish 2486.
9 ¶ So 3767 when 5613 they got 576 out on the land 1093, they saw 991 a charcoal 439 fire 439 {already} laid 2749 and fish 3795 placed 1945 on it, and bread 740.
10 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Bring 5342 some 575 of the fish 3795 which 3739 you have now 3568 caught 4084."
11 Simon 4613 Peter 4074 went 305 up and drew 1670 the net 1350 to land 1093, full 3324 of large 3173 fish 2486, a hundred 1540 and fifty-three; and although there were so 5118 many 5118, the net 1350 was not torn 4977.
12

Jesus Provides

Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, "Come 1205 {and} have 709 breakfast 709." None 3762 of the disciples 3101 ventured 5111 to question 1833 Him, "Who 5101 are You?" knowing 3609 that it was the Lord 2962.
13 Jesus 2424 came 2064 and took 2983 the bread 740 and gave 1325 {it} to them, and the fish 3795 likewise 3668.
14 This 3778 is now 2235 the third 5154 time 5154 that Jesus 2424 was manifested 5319 to the disciples 3101, after He was raised 1453 from the dead 3498.
15

The Love Motivation

¶ So 3767 when 3753 they had finished 709 breakfast 709, Jesus 2424 said 3004 to Simon 4613 Peter 4074, "Simon 4613, {son} of John 2491, do you love 25 Me more 4183 than these 3778?" He said 3004 to Him, "Yes 3483, Lord 2962; You know 3609 that I love 5368 You." He said 3004 to him, "Tend 1006 My lambs 721."
16 He said 3004 to him again 3825 a second 1208 time 1208, "Simon 4613, {son} of John 2491, do you love 25 Me?" He said 3004 to Him, "Yes 3483, Lord 2962; You know 3609 that I love 5368 You." He said 3004 to him, "Shepherd 4165 My sheep 4263."
17 He said 3004 to him the third 5154 time 5154, "Simon 4613, {son} of John 2491, do you love 5368 Me?" Peter 4074 was grieved 3076 because 3754 He said 3004 to him the third 5154 time 5154, "Do you love 5368 Me?" And he said 3004 to Him, "Lord 2962, You know 3609 all 3956 things 3956; You know 1097 that I love 5368 You." Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "Tend 1006 My sheep 4263.
18

Our Times Are in His Hand

"Truly 281, truly 281, I say 3004 to you, when 3753 you were younger 3501, you used to gird 2224 yourself 4572 and walk 4043 wherever 3699 you wished 2309; but when 3752 you grow 1095 old 1095, you will stretch 1614 out your hands 5495 and someone 243 else 243 will gird 2224 you, and bring 5342 you where 3699 you do not wish 2309 to {go.}"
19 Now 1161 this 3778 He said 3004, signifying 4591 by what 4169 kind 4169 of death 2288 he would glorify 1392 God 2316. And when He had spoken 3004 this 3778, He said 3004 to him, "Follow 190 Me!"
20 ¶ Peter 4074, turning 1994 around 1994, saw 991 the disciple 3101 whom 3739 Jesus 2424 loved 25 following 190 {them;} the one who 3739 also 2532 had leaned 377 back 377 on His bosom 4738 at the supper 1173 and said 3004, "Lord 2962, who 5101 is the one who betrays 3860 You?"
21 So 3767 Peter 4074 seeing 3708 him said 3004 to Jesus 2424, "Lord 2962, and what 5101 about this 3778 man 3778?"
22 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, "If 1437 I want 2309 him to remain 3306 until 2193 I come 2064, what 5101 {is that} to you? You follow 190 Me!"
23 Therefore 3767 this 3778 saying 3056 went 1831 out among 1519 the brethren 80 that that disciple 3101 would not die 599; yet 1161 Jesus 2424 did not say 3004 to him that he would not die 599, but {only,} "If 1437 I want 2309 him to remain 3306 until 2193 I come 2064, what 5101 {is that} to you?"
24 ¶ This 3778 is the disciple 3101 who is testifying 3140 to these 3778 things 3778 and wrote 1125 these 3778 things 3778, and we know 3609 that his testimony 3141 is true 227.
25 ¶ And there are also 2532 many 4183 other 243 things 4183 which 3739 Jesus 2424 did 4160, which 3748 if 1437 they were written 1125 in detail 1520, I suppose 3633 that even 3761 the world 2889 itself 846 would not contain 5562 the books 975 that would be written 1125.
