John

IntroductIon//

The apostle John wrote the ourth Gospel sometime betweena.d. 8590, in order that you may believe that Jesus is theChrist, the Son o God, and that believing you may have lie

in His name (20:31). Although Johns Gospel is a very personal,eyewitness account o who Jesus is and what He came to do, Johndoes not identiy himsel by name. Instead, he consistently describeshimsel by using some orm o the phrase, the disciple whom Jesusloved.

John uses very simple language to convey his message, but the truthhe presents is as rich and deep as anything in the Bible. While theother three Gospels center on key events in Jesus lie, John otenocuses upon the meaning o those events. Consider the miracleo the eeding o the fve thousand, which all our Gospels record(Matt. 14:1521; Mark 6:3144; Luke 9:1117; John 6:113). OnlyJohn gives us Jesus message on the Bread o Lie, which ollowsthat miracle. Here, as elsewhere, John puts special emphasis on thedeity o Jesus; so he reports Jesus words, I am the bread o lie. He

who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Meshall never thirst (6:35).

John does not always order his Gospel in a chronological way, butinstead highlights seven miracles that Jesus perormed and seven Iam statements that the Savior made. In ollowing this plan, Johngives us a unique perspective; in act, 90 percent o the materialound in his Gospel appears nowhere else. John selected what hedid in order to lead his readers to put their aith in Jesus Christ as theMessiah, the Savior o the world. For this reason, the word believe

plays a critical role in the Gospel o John.

111 John 1 :13

te Eeal W

1In the beginning was the Word, and theWord was with God, and the Word wasGod. 2He was in the beginning with God.3All things were made through Him, and with-out Him nothing was made that was made. 4InHim was lie, and the lie was the light o men.5And the light shines in the darkness, and thedarkness did not comprehenda it.

Js Wiess: te te Lig

6There was a man sent rom God, whosename was John. 7This man came or a wit-ness, to bear witness o the Light, that allthrough him might believe. 8He was not thatLight, but was sent to bear witness o thatLight. 9That was the true Light which giveslight to every man coming into the world.a

10He was in the world, and the world wasmade through Him, and the world did not

know Him.11

He came to His own,a

and Hisownb did not receive Him. 12But as many asreceived Him, to them He gave the right tobecome children o God, to those who believein His name: 13who were born, not o blood,nor o the will o the lesh, nor o the will oman, but o God.

14And the Word became lesh and dweltamong us, and we beheld His glory, the gloryas o the only begotten o the Father, ull o

grace and truth.15John bore witness o Him and cried out,

saying, This was He o whom I said, He whocomes ater me is preerred beore me, or Hewas beore me.

16Anda o His ullness we have all received,and grace or grace. 17For the law was giventhrough Moses, but grace and truth camethrough Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen Godat any time. The only begotten Son,a who is inthe bosom o the Father, He has declared Him.

A Vie i e Wileess

19Now this is the testimony o John, whenthe Jews sent priests and Levites rom Jerusa-lem to ask him, Who are you?

20He conessed, and did not deny, butconessed, I am not the Christ.

21And they asked him, What then? Areyou Elijah?

He said, I am not.Are you the Prophet?And he answered, No.22Then they said to him, Who are you,

that we may give an answer to those who sentus? What do you say about yoursel?

23He said: I amThe voice of one crying in the wilderness:Make straight the way of the Lord, a

as the prophet Isaiah said.24Now those who were sent were romthe Pharisees. 25And they asked him, saying,Why then do you baptize i you are not theChrist, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?

26John answered them, saying, I baptizewith water, but there stands One among youwhom you do not know. 27It is He who, com-ing ater me, is preerred beore me, whosesandal strap I am not worthy to loose.

28These things were done in Bethabaraa be-

yond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

te Lamb G

29The next day John saw Jesus comingtoward him, and said, Behold! The Lamb

o God who takes away the sin o the world!30This is He o whom I said, Ater me comesa Man who is preerred beore me, or He wasbeore me. 31I did not know Him; but thatHe should be revealed to Israel, thereore Icame baptizing with water.

32And John bore witness, saying, I sawthe Spirit descending rom heaven like adove, and He remained upon Him. 33I didnot know Him, but He who sent me to bap-tize with water said to me, Upon whom yousee the Spirit descending, and remaining onHim, this is He who baptizes with the HolySpirit. 34And I have seen and testiied thatthis is the Son o God.

te Fis disiples

35Again, the next day, John stood with twoo his disciples. 36And looking at Jesus as Hewalked, he said, Behold the Lamb o God!

37The two disciples heard him speak, andthey ollowed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, andseeing them ollowing, said to them, Whatdo you seek?

They said to Him, Rabbi (which is to

say, when translated, Teacher), where areYou staying?

39He said to them, Come and see. Theycame and saw where He was staying, and re-mained with Him that day (now it was aboutthe tenth hour).

40One o the two who heard John speak,and ollowed Him, was Andrew, Simon Pe-ters brother. 41He irst ound his own brotherSimon, and said to him, We have ound the

Messiah (which is translated, the Christ).42And he brought him to Jesus.Now when Jesus looked at him, He said,

You are Simon the son o Jonah.a You shallbe called Cephas (which is translated, AStone).

Pilip a naaael

43The ollowing day Jesus wanted to go toGalilee, and He ound Philip and said to him,

Follow Me.44

Now Philip was rom Beth-saida, the city o Andrew and Peter. 45Philipound Nathanael and said to him, We haveound Him o whom Moses in the law, andalso the prophets, wroteJesus o Nazareth,the son o Joseph.

46And Nathanael said to him, Can any-thing good come out o Nazareth?

Philip said to him, Come and see.47Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward

Him, and said o him, Behold, an Israeliteindeed, in whom is no deceit!

48Nathanael said to Him, How do Youknow me?

Jesus answered and said to him, BeorePhilip called you, when you were under theig tree, I saw you.

49Nathanael answered and said to Him,Rabbi, You are the Son o God! You are theKing o Israel!

50Jesus answered and said to him, Be-

cause I said to you, I saw you under the igtree, do you believe? You will see greaterthings than these. 51And He said to him,Most assuredly, I say to you, hereatera youshall see heaven open, and the angels o Godascending and descending upon the Son oMan.

Wae te Wie

2On the third day there was a wedding inCana o Galilee, and the mother o Jesuswas there. 2Now both Jesus and His dis-ciples were invited to the wedding. 3And whenthey ran out o wine, the mother o Jesus saidto Him, They have no wine.

4Jesus said to her, Woman, what doesyour concern have to do with Me? My hourhas not yet come.

5His mother said to the servants, What-ever He says to you, do it.

6Now there were set there six water-pots o stone, according to the manner o

puriication o the Jews, containing twenty orthirty gallons apiece. 7Jesus said to them, Fillthe waterpots with water. And they illedthem up to the brim. 8And He said to them,

Draw some out now, and take itto the mas-ter o the east. And they took it.9When themaster o the east had tasted the water thatwas made wine, and did not know where itcame rom (but the servants who had drawnthe water knew), the master o the east calledthe bridegroom. 10And he said to him, Everyman at the beginning sets out the good wine,and when theguests have well drunk, then theinerior. You have kept the good wine untilnow!

11This beginning o signs Jesus did in Canao Galilee, and maniested His glory; and Hisdisciples believed in Him.

12Ater this He went down to Capernaum,He, His mother, His brothers, and His disci-ples; and they did not stay there many days.

Jess cleases e temple

13Now the Passover o the Jews was athand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14AndHe ound in the temple those who sold oxenand sheep and doves, and the money chang-ers doing business. 15When He had made awhip o cords, He drove them all out o thetemple, with the sheep and the oxen, andpoured out the changers money and over-turned the tables. 16And He said to thosewho sold doves, Take these things away! Donot make My Fathers house a house o mer-chandise! 17Then His disciples rememberedthat it was written, Zeal for Your house haseatenaMe up.b

18So the Jews answered and said to Him,What sign do You show to us, since You dothese things?

19Jesus answered and said to them, De-

stroy this temple, and in three days I will raiseit up.

20Then the Jews said, It has taken orty-six years to build this temple, and will Youraise it up in three days?

21But He was speaking o the temple oHis body. 22Thereore, when He had risenrom the dead, His disciples remembered thatHe had said this to them;a and they believedthe Scripture and the word which Jesus hadsaid.

te disee heas

23Now when He was in Jerusalem at thePassover, during the east, many believed inHis name when they saw the signs which Hedid. 24But Jesus did not commit Himsel tothem, because He knew all men,25and had noneed that anyone should testiy o man, orHe knew what was in man.

te new Bi

3There was a man o the Pharisees namedNicodemus, a ruler o the Jews. 2Thisman came to Jesus by night and said toHim, Rabbi, we know that You are a teachercome rom God; or no one can do these signsthat You do unless God is with him.

3Jesus answered and said to him, Mostassuredly, I say to you, unless one is bornagain, he cannot see the kingdom o God.

4Nicodemus said to Him, How can a

man be born when he is old? Can he enter asecond time into his mothers womb and beborn?

5Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I sayto you, unless one is born o water and theSpirit, he cannot enter the kingdom o God.6That which is born o the lesh is lesh, andthat which is born o the Spirit is spirit. 7Donot marvel that I said to you, You must beborn again. 8The wind blows where it wishes,and you hear the sound o it, but cannot tellwhere it comes rom and where it goes. So iseveryone who is born o the Spirit.

9Nicodemus answered and said to Him,How can these things be?

10Jesus answered and said to him, Are you the teacher o Israel, and do not knowthese things? 11Most assuredly, I say to you,We speak what We know and testiy what Wehave seen, and you do not receive Our wit-ness. 12I I have told you earthly things and

you do not believe, how will you believe i

115 John 4 :10

3:13 aNU-Text omits who is in heaven. 3:15 aNU-Text omits not perish but.

I tell you heavenly things? 13No one has as-cended to heaven but He who came downrom heaven, that is, the Son o Man who isin heaven.a14And as Moses lited up the ser-

pent in the wilderness, even so must the Sono Man be lited up, 15that whoever believes inHim should not perish buta have eternal lie.16For God so loved the world that He gaveHis only begotten Son, that whoever believesin Him should not perish but have everlast-ing lie. 17For God did not send His Son into

the world to condemn the world, but that theworld through Him might be saved.

18He who believes in Him is not con-demned; but he who does not believe is con-demned already, because he has not believedin the name o the only begotten Son o God.19And this is the condemnation, that the lighthas come into the world, and men loveddarkness rather than light, because theirdeeds were evil. 20For everyone practicingevil hates the light and does not come to thelight, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21Buthe who does the truth comes to the light, that

his deeds may be clearly seen, that they havebeen done in God.

J e Bapis Exals cis

22Ater these things Jesus and His disciplescame into the land o Judea, and there He re-mained with them and baptized. 23Now Johnalso was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, be-cause there was much water there. And theycame and were baptized. 24For John had not

yet been thrown into prison.25Then there arose a dispute betweensome o Johns disciples and the Jews aboutpuriication. 26And they came to John andsaid to him, Rabbi, He who was with youbeyond the Jordan, to whom you have

testiiedbehold, He is baptizing, and all arecoming to Him!

27John answered and said, A man can re-ceive nothing unless it has been given to him

rom heaven.28

You yourselves bear me wit-ness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but,I have been sent beore Him. 29He who hasthe bride is the bridegroom; but the riend othe bridegroom, who stands and hears him,rejoices greatly because o the bridegroomsvoice. Thereore this joy o mine is ulilled.30He must increase, but I mustdecrease. 31Hewho comes rom above is above all; he who iso the earth is earthly and speaks o the earth.He who comes rom heaven is above all.32And what He has seen and heard, that Hetestiies; and no one receives His testimony.33He who has received His testimony has cer-tiied that God is true. 34For He whom Godhas sent speaks the words o God, or Goddoes not give the Spirit by measure. 35TheFather loves the Son, and has given all thingsinto His hand. 36He who believes in the Sonhas everlasting lie; and he who does not be-lieve the Son shall not see lie, but the wratho God abides on him.

A Samaia Wma Mees he Messia

4Thereore, when the Lord knew thatthe Pharisees had heard that Jesus madeand baptized more disciples than John2(though Jesus Himsel did not baptize, butHis disciples), 3He let Judea and departedagain to Galilee. 4But He needed to go throughSamaria.

5So He came to a city o Samaria whichis called Sychar, near the plot o ground thatJacob gave to his son Joseph. 6Now Jacobswell was there. Jesus thereore, being weariedrom His journey, sat thus by the well. It wasabout the sixth hour.

7A woman o Samaria came to draw wa-ter. Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink. 8ForHis disciples had gone away into the city tobuy ood.

9Then the woman o Samaria said to Him,

How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drinkrom me, a Samaritan woman? For Jewshave no dealings with Samaritans.

10Jesus answered and said to her, I youknew the git o God, and who it is who saysto you, Give Me a drink, you would have

asked Him, and He would have given you liv-ing water.

11The woman said to Him, Sir, You havenothing to draw with, and the well is deep.

Where then do You get that living water?12Are You greater than our ather Jacob, whogave us the well, and drank rom it himsel, aswell as his sons and his livestock?

13Jesus answered and said to her, Who-ever drinks o this water will thirst again,

14but whoever drinks o the water that I shallgive him will never thirst. But the water that Ishall give him will become in him a ountaino water springing up into everlasting lie.

15The woman said to Him, Sir, give methis water, that I may not thirst, nor comehere to draw.

16Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband,and come here.

17The woman answered and said, I have

no husband.Jesus said to her, You have well said, Ihave no husband, 18or you have had ivehusbands, and the one whom you now haveis not your husband; in that you spoke truly.

19The woman said to Him, Sir, I per-ceive that You are a prophet. 20Our athersworshiped on this mountain, and you Jewssay that in Jerusalem is the place where oneought to worship.

21Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me,

the hour is coming when you will neither onthis mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship theFather. 22You worship what you do not know;we know what we worship, or salvation is othe Jews. 23But the hour is coming, and nowis, when the true worshipers will worship theFather in spirit and truth; or the Father isseeking such to worship Him. 24God is Spirit,

and those who worship Him must worship inspirit and truth.

25The woman said to Him, I know thatMessiah is coming (who is called Christ).

When He comes, He will tell us all things.26Jesus said to her, I who speak to youam He.

27And at thispointHis disciples came, andthey marveled that He talked with a woman;

yet no one said, What do You seek? or,Why are You talking with her?

28The woman then let her waterpot, wenther way into the city, and said to the men,29Come, see a Man who told me all thingsthat I ever did. Could this be the Christ?30Then they went out o the city and came to

Him.31In the meantime His disciples urgedHim, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32But He said to them, I have ood to eato which you do not know.

33Thereore the disciples said to one an-other, Has anyone brought Him anythingtoeat?

34Jesus said to them, My ood is to do thewill o Him who sent Me, and to inish Hiswork. 35Do you not say, There are still our

months and then comes the harvest? Be-hold, I say to you, lit up your eyes and lookat the ields, or they are already white orharvest! 36And he who reaps receives wages,and gathers ruit or eternal lie, that both hewho sows and he who reaps may rejoice to-gether. 37For in this the saying is true: Onesows and another reaps. 38I sent you to reap

te Savi e Wl39And many o the Samaritans o that city

believed in Him because o the word o thewoman who testiied, He told me all that Ieverdid. 40So when the Samaritans had cometo Him, they urged Him to stay with them;and He stayed there two days. 41And manymore believed because o His own word.

42Then they said to the woman, Now webelieve, not because o what you said, or we

ourselves have heard Him and we know thatthis is indeed the Christ,a the Savior o theworld.

Welme a Galilee

43Now ater the two days He departedrom there and went to Galilee. 44For JesusHimsel testiied that a prophet has no honorin his own country. 45So when He came toGalilee, the Galileans received Him, having

seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at theeast; or they also had gone to the east.

A nblemas S heale

46So Jesus came again to Cana o Galileewhere He had made the water wine. Andthere was a certain nobleman whose son wassick at Capernaum. 47When he heard thatJesus had come out o Judea into Galilee,he went to Him and implored Him to come

down and heal his son, or he was at the pointo death. 48Then Jesus said to him, Unlessyoupeople see signs and wonders, you will byno means believe.

49The nobleman said to Him, Sir, comedown beore my child dies!

50Jesus said to him, Go your way; yourson lives. So the man believed the wordthat Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.51And as he was now going down, his ser-vants met him and told him, saying, Your

son lives!52Then he inquired o them the hour

when he got better. And they said to him,Yesterday at the seventh hour the ever lethim. 53So the ather knew that it was at thesame hour in which Jesus said to him, Your

son lives. And he himsel believed, and hiswhole household.

54This again is the second sign Jesus didwhen He had come out o Judea into Galilee.

A Ma heale a e Pl Beesa

5Ater this there was a east o the Jews,and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Nowthere is in Je rusalem by the Sheep Gatea pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda,ahaving ive porches. 3In these lay a great mul-titude o sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed,waiting or the moving o the water. 4For anangel went down at a certain time into the

pool and stirred up the water; then whoeverstepped in irst, ater the stirring o the water,was made well o whatever disease he had.a5Now a certain man was there who had aninirmity thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus sawhim lying there, and knew that he already hadbeen in that condition a long time, He said tohim, Do you want to be made well?

7The sick man answered Him, Sir, I haveno man to put me into the pool when the wa-ter is stirred up; but while I am coming, an-other steps down beore me.

8Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bedand walk. 9And immediately the man wasmade well, took up his bed, and walked.

And that day was the Sabbath. 10The Jews

thereore said to him who was cured, It isthe Sabbath; it is not lawul or you to carry

your bed.11He answered them, He who made

me well said to me, Take up your bed andwalk.

12Then they asked him, Who is the Manwho said to you, Take up your bed andwalk? 13But the one who was healed did notknow who it was, or Jesus had withdrawn, a

multitude being in thatplace.14

Aterward Je-sus ound him in the temple, and said to him,See, you have been made well. Sin no more,lest a worse thing come upon you.

15The man departed and told the Jews thatit was Jesus who had made him well.

h e Fae a e S

16For this reason the Jews persecuted Je-sus, and sought to kill Him,a because He had

done these things on the Sabbath. 17But Jesusanswered them, My Father has been work-ing until now, and I have been working.

18Thereore the Jews sought all the moreto kill Him, because He not only broke theSabbath, but also said that God was His Fa-ther, making Himsel equal with God. 19ThenJesus answered and said to them, Most as-suredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothingo Himsel, but what He sees the Father do;or whatever He does, the Son also does inlike manner. 20For the Father loves the Son,and shows Him all things that He Himseldoes; and He will show Him greater worksthan these, that you may marvel. 21For as theFather raises the dead and gives lie to them,even so the Son gives lie to whom He will.22For the Father judges no one, but has com-mitted all judgment to the Son, 23that allshould honor the Son just as they honor theFather. He who does not honor the Son doesnot honor the Father who sent Him.

Lie a Jgme Ae tg e S

24Most assuredly, I say to you, he whohears My word and believes in Him who sentMe has everlasting lie, and shall not comeinto judgment, but has passed rom deathinto lie. 25Most assuredly, I say to you, thehour is coming, and now is, when the deadwill hear the voice o the Son o God; and

those who hear will live.26

For as the Fatherhas lie in Himsel, so He has granted the Sonto have lie in Himsel, 27and has given Himauthority to execute judgment also, becauseHe is the Son o Man. 28Do not marvel at this;or the hour is coming in which all who arein the graves will hear His voice 29and come

orththose who have done good, to the res-urrection o lie, and those who have doneevil, to the resurrection o condemnation. 30Ican o Mysel do nothing. As I hear, I judge;and My judgment is righteous, because I donot seek My own will but the will o the Fa-ther who sent Me.

31I I bear witness o Mysel, My wit-ness is not true. 32There is another who bearswitness o Me, and I know that the witness

which He witnesses o Me is true. 33You havesent to John, and he has borne witness to thetruth. 34Yet I do not receive testimony romman, but I say these things that you maybe saved. 35He was the burning and shininglamp, and you were willing or a time to re-

you are not willing to come to Me that youmay have lie.

6Ater these things Jesus went over theSea o Galilee, which is the Sea o Tibe-rias. 2Then a great multitude ollowedHim, because they saw His signs which Heperormed on those who were diseased. 3AndJesus went up on the mountain, and there He

sat with His disciples.4Now the Passover, a east o the Jews, wasnear. 5Then Jesus lited up His eyes, and see-ing a great multitude coming toward Him,He said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread,that these may eat? 6But this He said to testhim, or He Himsel knew what He woulddo.

7Philip answered Him, Two hundreddenarii worth o bread is not suicient orthem, that every one o them may have a lit-tle.

8One o His disciples, Andrew, SimonPeters brother, said to Him, 9There is a ladhere who has ive barley loaves and two smallish, but what are they among so many?

10Then Jesus said, Make the people sit

down. Now there was much grass in theplace. So the men sat down, in number aboutive thousand. 11And Jesus took the loaves,and when He had given thanks He distrib-uted them to the disciples, and the disciplesato those sitting down; and likewise o the ish,

as much as they wanted. 12So when they wereilled, He said to His disciples, Gather upthe ragments that remain, so that nothingis lost. 13Thereore they gathered them up,

and illed twelve baskets with the ragmentso the ive barley loaves which were let overby those who had eaten. 14Then those men,when they had seen the sign that Jesus did,said, This is truly the Prophet who is tocome into the world.

15Thereore when Jesus perceived that theywere about to come and take Him by orce

to make Him king, He departed again to themountain by Himsel alone.16Now when evening came, His disciples

went down to the sea, 17got into the boat,and went over the sea toward Capernaum.And it was already dark, and Jesus had notcome to them. 18Then the sea arose becausea great wind was blowing. 19So when they hadrowed about three or our miles,a they saw Je-sus walking on the sea and drawing near theboat; and they were araid. 20But He said to

them, It is I; do not be araid. 21Then theywillingly received Him into the boat, and im-mediately the boat was at the land where theywere going.

28Then they said to Him, What shall wedo, that we may work the works o God?

Jesus answered and said to them, Thisis the work o God, that you believe in Himwhom He sent.

30Thereore they said to Him, What signwill You perorm then, that we may see it andbelieve You? What work will You do? 31Ourathers ate the manna in the desert; as it iswritten, He gave them bread from heaven toeat.a

32Then Jesus said to them, Most assur-edly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the

bread rom heaven, but My Father gives youthe true bread rom heaven. 33For the breado God is He who comes down rom heavenand gives lie to the world.

34Then they said to Him, Lord, give usthis bread always.

35And Jesus said to them, I am the breado lie. He who comes to Me shall never hun-ger, and he who believes in Me shall neverthirst. 36But I said to you that you have seenMe and yet do not believe. 37All that the Fa-ther gives Me will come to Me, and the onewho comes to Me I will by no means cast out.38For I have come down rom heaven, not todo My own will, but the will o Him who sentMe. 39This is the will o the Father who sentMe, that o all He has given Me I should losenothing, but should raise it up at the last day.40And this is the will o Him who sent Me,that everyone who sees the Son and believesin Him may have everlasting lie; and I will

raise him up at the last day.

41The Jews then complained about Him,because He said, I am the bread which camedown rom heaven. 42And they said, Is notthis Jesus, the son o Joseph, whose ather andmother we know? How is it then that He says,I have come down rom heaven?

43Jesus thereore answered and said to

them, Do not murmur among yourselves.44No one can come to Me unless the Fatherwho sent Me draws him; and I will raisehim up at the last day. 45It is written in theprophets, And they shall all be taught byGod.a Thereore everyone who has heard

and learnedb rom the Father comes to Me.46Not that anyone has seen the Father, exceptHe who is rom God; He has seen the Fa-ther. 47Most assuredly, I say to you, he who

believes in Mea has everlasting lie. 48I am thebread o lie. 49Your athers ate the mannain the wilderness, and are dead. 50This is thebread which comes down rom heaven, thatone may eat o it and not die. 51I am the livingbread which came down rom heaven. I any-one eats o this bread, he will live orever; andthe bread that I shall give is My lesh, which Ishall give or the lie o the world.

52The Jews thereore quarreled amongthemselves, saying, How can this Man give

us His lesh to eat?53Then Jesus said to them, Most as-

suredly, I say to you, unless you eat the lesho the Son o Man and drink His blood, youhave no lie in you. 54Whoever eats My leshand drinks My blood has eternal lie, andI will raise him up at the last day. 55For Mylesh is ood indeed,a and My blood is drinkindeed. 56He who eats My lesh and drinksMy blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57Asthe living Father sent Me, and I live becauseo the Father, so he who eeds on Me willlive because o Me. 58This is the bread whichcame down rom heavennot as your athersate the manna, and are dead. He who eats thisbread will live orever.

59These things He said in the synagogue asHe taught in Capernaum.

Thereore many o His disciples, whenthey heard this, said, This is a hard saying;who can understand it?

61When Jesus knew in Himsel that Hisdisciples complained about this, He said tothem, Does this oend you? 62What then i

you should see the Son o Man ascend whereHe was beore? 63It is the Spirit who gives lie;the lesh proits nothing. The words that Ispeak to you are spirit, and theyare lie. 64Butthere are some o you who do not believe.

For Jesus knew rom the beginning who theywere who did not believe, and who would be-tray Him. 65And He said, Thereore I havesaid to you that no one can come to Me un-less it has been granted to him by My Father.

7Ater these things Jesus walked in Gali-lee; or He did not want to walk inJudea, because the Jewsa sought to killHim. 2Now the Jews Feast o Tabernacleswas at hand. 3His brothers thereore said toHim, Depart rom here and go into Judea,that Your disciples also may see the worksthat You are doing. 4For no one does anythingin secret while he himsel seeks to be knownopenly. I You do these things, show Yourselto the world. 5For even His brothers did notbelieve in Him.

6Then Jesus said to them, My time hasnot yet come, but your time is always ready.7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Mebecause I testiy o it that its works are evil.8You go up to this east. I am not yeta goingup to this east, or My time has not yet ullycome. 9When He had said these things tothem, He remained in Galilee.

10But when His brothers had gone up,then He also went up to the east, not openly,but as it were in secret. 11Then the Jewssought Him at the east, and said, Whereis He? 12And there was much complainingamong the people concerning Him. Somesaid, He is good; others said, No, on thecontrary, He deceives the people. 13How-

ever, no one spoke openly o Him or ear othe Jews.

14Now about the middle o the east Jesuswent up into the temple and taught. 15Andthe Jews marveled, saying, How does thisMan know letters, having never studied?

16Jesusa answered them and said, Mydoctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.17I anyone wills to do His will, he shall knowconcerning the doctrine, whether it is rom

God or whether I speak on My own author-ity. 18He who speaks rom himsel seeks hisown glory; but He who seeks the glory o theOne who sent Him is true, and no unrigh-teousness is in Him. 19Did not Moses give

you the law, yet none o you keeps the law?Why do you seek to kill Me?

20The people answered and said, Youhave a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?

21Jesus answered and said to them, Idid one work, and you all marvel. 22Moses

thereore gave you circumcision (not thatit is rom Moses, but rom the athers), and

you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23I aman receives circumcision on the Sabbath,so that the law o Moses should not be bro-ken, are you angry with Me because I madea man completely well on the Sabbath? 24Donot judge according to appearance, but judgewith righteous judgment.

Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26Butlook! He speaks boldly, and they say noth-ing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed thatthis is trulya the Christ? 27However, we knowwhere this Man is rom; but when the Christcomes, no one knows where He is rom.

28Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in thetemple, saying, You both know Me, and you

know where I am rom; and I have not comeo Mysel, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29Buta I know Him, or Iam rom Him, and He sent Me.

30Thereore they sought to take Him; butno one laid a hand on Him, because His hourhad not yet come. 31And many o the peoplebelieved in Him, and said, When the Christcomes, will He do more signs than thesewhich thisMan has done?

22So the Jews said, Will He kill Himsel,because He says, Where I go you cannotcome?

23And He said to them, You are rombeneath; I am rom above. You are o thisworld; I am not o this world. 24Thereore Isaid to you that you will die in your sins; or

And i I say, I do not know Him, Ishall be a liar like you; but I do know Himand keep His word. 56Your ather Abrahamrejoiced to see My day, and he saw itand was

12Then they said to him, Where is He?He said, I do not know.

13They brought him who ormerly wasblind to the Pharisees. 14Now it was a Sab-bath when Jesus made the clay and openedhis eyes. 15Then the Pharisees also askedhim again how he had received his sight. Hesaid to them, He put clay on my eyes, and Iwashed, and I see.

16Thereore some o the Pharisees said,

This Man is not rom God, because He doesnot keep the Sabbath.

Others said, How can a man who is a sin-ner do such signs? And there was a divisionamong them.

17They said to the blind man again, Whatdo you say about Him because He opened

your eyes?He said, He is a prophet.18But the Jews did not believe concern-

ing him, that he had been blind and received

his sight, until they called the parents o himwho had received his sight. 19And they askedthem, saying, Is this your son, who you saywas born blind? How then does he now see?

20His parents answered them and said,We know that this is our son, and that hewas born blind; 21but by what means he nowsees we do not know, or who opened hiseyes we do not know. He is o age; ask him.He will speak or himsel. 22His parents saidthese things because they eared the Jews, or

the Jews had agreed already that i anyoneconessed that He was Christ, he would beput out o the synagogue. 23Thereore his par-ents said, He is o age; ask him.

24So they again called the man who wasblind, and said to him, Give God the glory!We know that this Man is a sinner.

25He answered and said, Whether He isa sinner or not I do not know. One thing Iknow: that though I was blind, now I see.

26Then they said to him again, What didHe do to you? How did He open your eyes?

27He answered them, I told you already,and you did not listen. Why do you want tohear it again? Do you also want to becomeHis disciples?

28Then they reviled him and said, You are

His disciple, but we are Moses disciples. 29Weknow that God spoke to Moses; as forthisfel-low, we do not know where He is rom.

30The man answered and said to them,

Why, this is a marvelous thing, that youdo not know where He is rom; yet He hasopened my eyes! 31Now we know that Goddoes not hear sinners; but i anyone is a wor-shiper o God and does His will, He hearshim. 32Since the world began it has been un-heard o that anyone opened the eyes o onewho was born blind. 33I this Man were notrom God, He could do nothing.

34They answered and said to him, Youwere completely born in sins, and are you

teaching us? And they cast him out.

35Jesus heard that they had cast him out;and when He had ound him, He said to him,Do you believe in the Son o God?a

36He answered and said, Who is He,Lord, that I may believe in Him?

37And Jesus said to him, You have bothseen Him and it is He who is talking with

you.38Then he said, Lord, I believe! And he

worshiped Him.39And Jesus said, For judgment I have

come into this world, that those who do notsee may see, and that those who see may bemade blind.

40Then some o the Pharisees who werewith Him heard these words, and said toHim, Are we blind also?

41Jesus said to them, I you were blind,you would have no sin; but now you say, Wesee. Thereore your sin remains.

11I am the good shepherd. The goodshepherd gives His lie or the sheep. 12But ahireling, he who is not the shepherd, one whodoes not own the sheep, sees the wol com-ing and leaves the sheep and lees; and thewol catches the sheep and scatters them.13The hireling lees because he is a hirelingand does not care about the sheep. 14I am thegood shepherd; and I know My sheep, andam known by My own. 15As the Father knowsMe, even so I know the Father; and I laydown My lie or the sheep. 16And other sheepI have which are not o this old; them also Imust bring, and they will hear My voice; andthere will be one lock and one shepherd.

I lay down My lie that I may take it again.18No one takes it rom Me, but I lay it downo Mysel. I have power to lay it down, and Ihave power to take it again. This command Ihave received rom My Father.

19Thereore there was a division againamong the Jews because o these sayings.

20And many o them said, He has a demonand is mad. Why do you listen to Him?

21Others said, These are not the words oone who has a demon. Can a demon open the

25Jesus answered them, I told you, and

11Now a certain man was sick, Laz-arus o Bethany, the town o Maryand her sister Martha. 2It was thatMary who anointed the Lord with ragrantoil and wiped His eet with her hair, whosebrother Lazarus was sick. 3Thereore the sis-ters sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, hewhom You love is sick.

4When Jesus heard that, He said, Thissickness is not unto death, but or the gloryo God, that the Son o God may be gloriiedthrough it.

5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sisterand Lazarus. 6So, when He heard that he wassick, He stayed two more days in the placewhere He was. 7Then ater this He said to thedisciples, Let us go to Judea again.

8The disciples said to Him, Rabbi, latelythe Jews sought to stone You, and are Yougoing there again?

9Jesus answered, Are there not twelvehours in the day? I anyone walks in the day,he does not stumble, because he sees the lighto this world. 10But i one walks in the night,

he stumbles, because the light is not in him.11These things He said, and ater that He saidto them, Our riend Lazarus sleeps, but I gothat I may wake him up.

12Then His disciples said, Lord, i hesleeps he will get well. 13However, Jesusspoke o his death, but they thought that Hewas speaking about taking rest in sleep.

14Then Jesus said to them plainly, Laz-arus is dead. 15And I am glad or your sakesthat I was not there, that you may believe.

Nevertheless let us go to him.16Then Thomas, who is called the Twin,

said to his ellow disciples, Let us also go,that we may die with Him.

45Then many o the Jews who had come toMary, and had seen the things Jesus did, be-lieved in Him. 46But some o them went awayto the Pharisees and told them the things Je-sus did. 47Then the chie priests and the Phar-

isees gathered a council and said, What shallwe do? For this Man works many signs. 48Iwe let Him alone like this, everyone will be-lieve in Him, and the Romans will come andtake away both our place and nation.

49And one o them, Caiaphas, being highpriest that year, said to them, You knownothing at all, 50nor do you consider that itis expedient or usa that one man should dieor the people, and not that the whole nationshould perish. 51Now this he did not say onhis own authority; but being high priest that

year he prophesied that Jesus would die orthe nation, 52and not or that nation only, butalso that He would gather together in one thechildren o God who were scattered abroad.

53Then, rom that day on, they plotted toput Him to death. 54Thereore Jesus no lon-ger walked openly among the Jews, but wentrom there into the country near the wilder-ness, to a city called Ephraim, and there re-

Walk while youhave the light, lest darkness overtake you; hewho walks in darkness does not know wherehe is going. 36While you have the light, be-lieve in the light, that you may become sonso light.

36Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, whereare You going?

Jesus answered him, Where I am goingyou cannot ollow Me now, but you shall ol-low Me aterward.

37Peter said to Him, Lord, why can I notollow You now? I will lay down my lie orYour sake.

38Jesus answered him, Will you lay downyour lie or My sake? Most as suredly, I say toyou, the rooster shall not crow till you havedenied Me three times.

14Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe alsoin Me. 2In My Fathers house aremany mansions;a i it were not so, I wouldhave told you. I go to prepare a place oryou.b 3And i I go and prepare a place or you, I will come again and receive you toMysel; that where I am, there you may bealso. 4And where I go you know, and the way

you know.5Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not

know where You are going, and how can weknow the way?

6Jesus said to him, I am the way, thetruth, and the lie. No one comes to the Fa-ther except through Me.

7I you had known Me, you would haveknown My Father also; and rom now on youknow Him and have seen Him.

8Philip said to Him, Lord, show us theFather, and it is suicient or us.

9Jesus said to him, Have I been with youso long, and yet you have not known Me,Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Fa-ther; so how can you say, Show us the Fa-ther? 10Do you not believe that I am in theFather, and the Father in Me? The words thatI speak to you I do not speak on My own au-thority; but the Father who dwells in Me doesthe works. 11Believe Me that I am in the Fa-ther and the Father in Me, or else believe Meor the sake o the works themselves.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he whobelieves in Me, the works that I do he will doalso; and greater works than these he will do,because I go to My Father. 13And whatever

you ask in My name, that I will do, that theFather may be gloriied in the Son. 14I youaska anything in My name, I will do it.

23Jesus answered and said to him, I any-one loves Me, he will keep My word; and MyFather will love him, and We will come to

him and make Our home with him. 24He whodoes not love Me does not keep My words;and the word which you hear is not Mine butthe Fathers who sent Me.
