+Book 43 John
+001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
+ and the Word was God.
+001:002 The same was in the beginning with God.
+001:003 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything
+ made that has been made.
+001:004 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
+001:005 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't
+ overcome{The word translated "overcome" (katelaben) can also
+ be translated "comprehended." It refers to getting a grip
+ on an enemy to defeat him.} it.
+001:006 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
+001:007 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light,
+ that all might believe through him.
+001:008 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify
+ about the light.
+001:009 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
+001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made through him,
+ and the world didn't recognize him.
+001:011 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.
+001:012 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become
+ God's children, to those who believe in his name:
+001:013 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
+ nor of the will of man, but of God.
+001:014 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory,
+ such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father,
+ full of grace and truth.
+001:015 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was
+ he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me,
+ for he was before me.'"
+001:016 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
+001:017 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came
+ through Jesus Christ.
+001:018 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son,{NU reads
+ "God"} who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
+001:019 This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites
+ from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
+001:020 He confessed, and didn't deny, but he confessed, "I am
+ not the Christ."
+001:021 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not."
+ "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."
+001:022 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?
+ Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us.
+ What do you say about yourself?"
+001:023 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
+ 'Make straight the way of the Lord,'{Isaiah 40:3} as Isaiah
+ the prophet said."
+001:024 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
+001:025 They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ,
+ nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
+001:026 John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands
+ one whom you don't know.
+001:027 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me,
+ whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
+001:028 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan,
+ where John was baptizing.
+001:029 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold,
+ the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
+001:030 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred
+ before me, for he was before me.'
+001:031 I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water:
+ that he would be revealed to Israel."
+001:032 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending
+ like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
+001:033 I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water,
+ he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending,
+ and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in
+ the Holy Spirit.'
+001:034 I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
+001:035 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
+001:036 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold,
+ the Lamb of God!"
+001:037 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
+001:038 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are
+ you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say,
+ being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"
+001:039 He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw
+ where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day.
+ It was about the tenth hour.{4:00 PM.}
+001:040 One of the two who heard John, and followed him,
+ was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
+001:041 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him,
+ "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted,
+ Christ{"Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean
+ "Anointed One".}).
+001:042 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said,
+ "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas"
+ (which is by interpretation, Peter).
+001:043 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee,
+ and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
+001:044 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
+001:045 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him,
+ of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote:
+ Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
+001:046 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out
+ of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
+001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold,
+ an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
+001:048 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him,
+ "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,
+ I saw you."
+001:049 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are
+ King of Israel!"
+001:050 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath
+ the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater
+ things than these!"
+001:051 He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you
+ will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending
+ and descending on the Son of Man."
+002:001 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee.
+ Jesus' mother was there.
+002:002 Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, to the marriage.
+002:003 When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him,
+ "They have no wine."
+002:004 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me?
+ My hour has not yet come."
+002:005 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
+002:006 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews'
+ manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes{2
+ to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, 16 to 25
+ imperial gallons, or 75 to 115 litres.} apiece.
+002:007 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water."
+ They filled them up to the brim.
+002:008 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler
+ of the feast." So they took it.
+002:009 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine,
+ and didn't know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn
+ the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom,
+002:010 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first,
+ and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse.
+ You have kept the good wine until now!"
+002:011 This beginning of his signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee,
+ and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
+002:012 After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,
+ his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there
+ a few days.
+002:013 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went
+ up to Jerusalem.
+002:014 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves,
+ and the changers of money sitting.
+002:015 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple,
+ both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers'
+ money, and overthrew their tables.
+002:016 To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here!
+ Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"
+002:017 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your
+ house will eat me up."{Psalm 69:9}
+002:018 The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us,
+ seeing that you do these things?"
+002:019 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days
+ I will raise it up."
+002:020 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple
+ in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"
+002:021 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
+002:022 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples
+ remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture,
+ and the word which Jesus had said.
+002:023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast,
+ many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.
+002:024 But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,
+002:025 and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man;
+ for he himself knew what was in man.
+003:001 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler
+ of the Jews.
+003:002 The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know
+ that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do
+ these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
+003:003 Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you,
+ unless one is born anew,{The word translated "anew"
+ here and in John 3:7 (anothen) also means "again" and "from
+ above".} he can't see the Kingdom of God."
+003:004 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old?
+ Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
+003:005 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born
+ of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
+003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born
+ of the Spirit is spirit.
+003:007 Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
+003:008 The wind{The same Greek word (pneuma) means wind, breath,
+ and spirit.} blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound,
+ but don't know where it comes from and where it is going.
+ So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
+003:009 Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?"
+003:010 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and don't
+ understand these things?
+003:011 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know,
+ and testify of that which we have seen, and you don't
+ receive our witness.
+003:012 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will
+ you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
+003:013 No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven,
+ the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
+003:014 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
+ the Son of Man be lifted up,
+003:015 that whoever believes in him should not perish,
+ but have eternal life.
+003:016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and
+ only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish,
+ but have eternal life.
+003:017 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world,
+ but that the world should be saved through him.
+003:018 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has
+ been judged already, because he has not believed in the name
+ of the one and only Son of God.
+003:019 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world,
+ and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their
+ works were evil.
+003:020 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come
+ to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
+003:021 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works
+ may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
+003:022 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land
+ of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized.
+003:023 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there
+ was much water there. They came, and were baptized.
+003:024 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
+003:025 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's
+ disciples with some Jews about purification.
+003:026 They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with
+ you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold,
+ the same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him."
+003:027 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been
+ given him from heaven.
+003:028 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,'
+ but, 'I have been sent before him.'
+003:029 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of
+ the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly
+ because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy,
+ therefore is made full.
+003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.
+003:031 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from
+ the Earth belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth.
+ He who comes from heaven is above all.
+003:032 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one
+ receives his witness.
+003:033 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this,
+ that God is true.
+003:034 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God
+ gives the Spirit without measure.
+003:035 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
+003:036 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one
+ who disobeys{The same word can be translated "disobeys"
+ or "disbelieves" in this context.} the Son won't see life,
+ but the wrath of God remains on him."
+004:001 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard
+ that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
+004:002 (although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),
+004:003 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
+004:004 He needed to pass through Samaria.
+004:005 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel
+ of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
+004:006 Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired
+ from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about
+ the sixth hour{noon}.
+004:007 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her,
+ "Give me a drink."
+004:008 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
+004:009 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you,
+ being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
+ (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
+004:010 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it
+ is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him,
+ and he would have given you living water."
+004:011 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with,
+ and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?
+004:012 Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well,
+ and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
+004:013 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water
+ will thirst again,
+004:014 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never
+ thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become
+ in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
+004:015 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I
+ don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
+004:016 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
+004:017 The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her,
+ "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
+004:018 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is
+ not your husband. This you have said truly."
+004:019 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
+004:020 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that
+ in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
+004:021 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes,
+ when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you
+ worship the Father.
+004:022 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know;
+ for salvation is from the Jews.
+004:023 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers
+ will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father
+ seeks such to be his worshippers.
+004:024 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in
+ spirit and truth."
+004:025 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes,"
+ (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare
+ to us all things."
+004:026 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
+004:027 At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking
+ with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?"
+ or, "Why do you speak with her?"
+004:028 So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city,
+ and said to the people,
+004:029 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did.
+ Can this be the Christ?"
+004:030 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
+004:031 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
+004:032 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."
+004:033 The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone
+ brought him something to eat?"
+004:034 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me,
+ and to accomplish his work.
+004:035 Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?'
+ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields,
+ that they are white for harvest already.
+004:036 He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life;
+ that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
+004:037 For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
+004:038 I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored.
+ Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
+004:039 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of
+ the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything
+ that I did."
+004:040 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay
+ with them. He stayed there two days.
+004:041 Many more believed because of his word.
+004:042 They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking;
+ for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed
+ the Christ, the Savior of the world."
+004:043 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
+004:044 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor
+ in his own country.
+004:045 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him,
+ having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast,
+ for they also went to the feast.
+004:046 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made
+ the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son
+ was sick at Capernaum.
+004:047 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee,
+ he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal
+ his son, for he was at the point of death.
+004:048 Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders,
+ you will in no way believe."
+004:049 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
+004:050 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives."
+ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him,
+ and he went his way.
+004:051 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported,
+ saying "Your child lives!"
+004:052 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better.
+ They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour,{1:00
+ P. M.} the fever left him."
+004:053 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said
+ to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.
+004:054 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come
+ out of Judea into Galilee.
+005:001 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus
+ went up to Jerusalem.
+005:002 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is
+ called in Hebrew, "Bethesda," having five porches.
+005:003 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame,
+ or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
+005:004 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into
+ the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first
+ after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever
+ disease he had.
+005:005 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
+005:006 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick
+ for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
+005:007 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into
+ the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming,
+ another steps down before me."
+005:008 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
+005:009 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.
+ Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
+005:010 So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath.
+ It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
+005:011 He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me,
+ 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
+005:012 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you,
+ 'Take up your mat, and walk'?"
+005:013 But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus
+ had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
+005:014 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,
+ "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing
+ worse happens to you."
+005:015 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had
+ made him well.
+005:016 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him,
+ because he did these things on the Sabbath.
+005:017 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working,
+ so I am working, too."
+005:018 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him,
+ because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God
+ his own Father, making himself equal with God.
+005:019 Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son
+ can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing.
+ For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
+005:020 For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all
+ things that he himself does. He will show him greater works
+ than these, that you may marvel.
+005:021 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,
+ even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
+005:022 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment
+ to the Son,
+005:023 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father.
+ He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father
+ who sent him.
+005:024 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him
+ who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment,
+ but has passed out of death into life.
+005:025 Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is,
+ when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those
+ who hear will live.
+005:026 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son
+ also to have life in himself.
+005:027 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is
+ a son of man.
+005:028 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are
+ in the tombs will hear his voice,
+005:029 and will come out; those who have done good, to the
+ resurrection of life; and those who have done evil,
+ to the resurrection of judgment.
+005:030 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my
+ judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will,
+ but the will of my Father who sent me.
+005:031 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
+005:032 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony
+ which he testifies about me is true.
+005:033 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
+005:034 But the testimony which I receive is not from man.
+ However, I say these things that you may be saved.
+005:035 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing
+ to rejoice for a while in his light.
+005:036 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John,
+ for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish,
+ the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father
+ has sent me.
+005:037 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me.
+ You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
+005:038 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't
+ believe him whom he sent.
+005:039 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you
+ have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
+005:040 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
+005:041 I don't receive glory from men.
+005:042 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.
+005:043 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me.
+ If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
+005:044 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another,
+ and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
+005:045 "Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father.
+ There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have
+ set your hope.
+005:046 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me;
+ for he wrote about me.
+005:047 But if you don't believe his writings, how will you
+ believe my words?"
+006:001 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea
+ of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
+006:002 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs
+ which he did on those who were sick.
+006:003 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
+006:004 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
+006:005 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great
+ multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we
+ to buy bread, that these may eat?"
+006:006 This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
+006:007 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread
+ is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may
+ receive a little."
+006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
+ said to him,
+006:009 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish,
+ but what are these among so many?"
+006:010 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much
+ grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number
+ about five thousand.
+006:011 Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed
+ to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down;
+ likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
+006:012 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up
+ the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."
+006:013 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken
+ pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over
+ by those who had eaten.
+006:014 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said,
+ "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."
+006:015 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come
+ and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again
+ to the mountain by himself.
+006:016 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
+006:017 and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea
+ to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
+006:018 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
+006:019 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty
+ stadia,{25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3
+ to 4 miles} they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing
+ near to the boat; and they were afraid.
+006:020 But he said to them, "It is I{or, I AM}. Don't be afraid."
+006:021 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat.
+ Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
+006:022 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other
+ side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there,
+ except the one in which his disciples had embarked,
+ and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat,
+ but his disciples had gone away alone.
+006:023 However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they
+ ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
+006:024 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there,
+ nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats,
+ and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
+006:025 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him,
+ "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
+006:026 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me,
+ not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves,
+ and were filled.
+006:027 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which
+ remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you.
+ For God the Father has sealed him."
+006:028 They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work
+ the works of God?"
+006:029 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe
+ in him whom he has sent."
+006:030 They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign,
+ that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?
+006:031 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written,
+ 'He gave them bread out of heaven{Greek and Hebrew use the same
+ word for "heaven", "the heavens", "the sky", and "the air".}
+ to eat.'"{Exodus 16:4; Nehemiah 9:15; Psalm 78:24-25}
+006:032 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you,
+ it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven,
+ but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
+006:033 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven,
+ and gives life to the world."
+006:034 They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."
+006:035 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes
+ to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will
+ never be thirsty.
+006:036 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don't believe.
+006:037 All those who the Father gives me will come to me.
+ Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
+006:038 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will,
+ but the will of him who sent me.
+006:039 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has
+ given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up
+ at the last day.
+006:040 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees
+ the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life;
+ and I will raise him up at the last day."
+006:041 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said,
+ "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."
+006:042 They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
+ and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come
+ down out of heaven?'"
+006:043 Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.
+006:044 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him,
+ and I will raise him up in the last day.
+006:045 It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by
+ God.'{Isaiah 54:13} Therefore everyone who hears from the Father,
+ and has learned, comes to me.
+006:046 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God.
+ He has seen the Father.
+006:047 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
+006:048 I am the bread of life.
+006:049 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
+006:050 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone
+ may eat of it and not die.
+006:051 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven.
+ If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
+ Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world
+ is my flesh."
+006:052 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can
+ this man give us his flesh to eat?"
+006:053 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you,
+ unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
+ you don't have life in yourselves.
+006:054 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,
+ and I will raise him up at the last day.
+006:055 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
+006:056 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me,
+ and I in him.
+006:057 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father;
+ so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.
+006:058 This is the bread which came down out of heaven--not as our
+ fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread
+ will live forever."
+006:059 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
+006:060 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said,
+ "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?"
+006:061 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this,
+ said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
+006:062 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where
+ he was before?
+006:063 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing.
+ The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
+006:064 But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus
+ knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe,
+ and who it was who would betray him.
+006:065 He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can
+ come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."
+006:066 At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no
+ more with him.
+006:067 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want
+ to go away, do you?"
+006:068 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go?
+ You have the words of eternal life.
+006:069 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ,
+ the Son of the living God."
+006:070 Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve,
+ and one of you is a devil?"
+006:071 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was
+ he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
+007:001 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't
+ walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
+007:002 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
+007:003 His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here,
+ and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works
+ which you do.
+007:004 For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be
+ known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself
+ to the world."
+007:005 For even his brothers didn't believe in him.
+007:006 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come,
+ but your time is always ready.
+007:007 The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify
+ about it, that its works are evil.
+007:008 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast,
+ because my time is not yet fulfilled."
+007:009 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
+007:010 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also
+ went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
+007:011 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said,
+ "Where is he?"
+007:012 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him.
+ Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so,
+ but he leads the multitude astray."
+007:013 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
+007:014 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up
+ into the temple and taught.
+007:015 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man
+ know letters, having never been educated?"
+007:016 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine,
+ but his who sent me.
+007:017 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching,
+ whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
+007:018 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks
+ the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness
+ is in him.
+007:019 Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law?
+ Why do you seek to kill me?"
+007:020 The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks
+ to kill you?"
+007:021 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel
+ because of it.
+007:022 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses,
+ but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
+007:023 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law
+ of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I
+ made a man every bit whole on the Sabbath?
+007:024 Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
+007:025 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom
+ they seek to kill?
+007:026 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him.
+ Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is
+ truly the Christ?
+007:027 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes,
+ no one will know where he comes from."
+007:028 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying,
+ "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come
+ of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.
+007:029 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
+007:030 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him,
+ because his hour had not yet come.
+007:031 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said,
+ "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those
+ which this man has done, will he?"
+007:032 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things
+ concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent
+ officers to arrest him.
+007:033 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer,
+ then I go to him who sent me.
+007:034 You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am,
+ you can't come."
+007:035 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this
+ man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion
+ among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
+007:036 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't
+ find me; and where I am, you can't come'?"
+007:037 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and
+ cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
+007:038 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within
+ him will flow rivers of living water."
+007:039 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him
+ were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given,
+ because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
+007:040 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words,
+ said, "This is truly the prophet."
+007:041 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What,
+ does the Christ come out of Galilee?
+007:042 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed
+ of David,{2 Samuel 7:12} and from Bethlehem,{Micah 5:2}
+ the village where David was?"
+007:043 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
+007:044 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid
+ hands on him.
+007:045 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees,
+ and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"
+007:046 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"
+007:047 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also
+ led astray, are you?
+007:048 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
+007:049 But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."
+007:050 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them)
+ said to them,
+007:051 "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him
+ personally and knows what he does?"
+007:052 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see
+ that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.{See Isaiah 9:1
+ and Matthew 4:13-16.}"
+007:053 Everyone went to his own house,
+008:001 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
+008:002 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple,
+ and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.
+008:003 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery.
+ Having set her in the midst,
+008:004 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery,
+ in the very act.
+008:005 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such.{Leviticus 20:10;
+ Deuteronomy 22:22} What then do you say about her?"
+008:006 They said this testing him, that they might have something
+ to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on
+ the ground with his finger.
+008:007 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them,
+ "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first
+ stone at her."
+008:008 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
+008:009 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience,
+ went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last.
+ Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was,
+ in the middle.
+008:010 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are
+ your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
+008:011 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you.
+ Go your way. From now on, sin no more."
+008:012 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light
+ of the world.{Isaiah 60:1} He who follows me will not walk
+ in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
+008:013 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself.
+ Your testimony is not valid."
+008:014 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony
+ is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going;
+ but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.
+008:015 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
+008:016 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone,
+ but I am with the Father who sent me.
+008:017 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people
+ is valid.{Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15}
+008:018 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent
+ me testifies about me."
+008:019 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered,
+ "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me,
+ you would know my Father also."
+008:020 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple.
+ Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
+008:021 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away,
+ and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins.
+ Where I go, you can't come."
+008:022 The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says,
+ 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"
+008:023 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above.
+ You are of this world. I am not of this world.
+008:024 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins;
+ for unless you believe that I AM he, you will die in your sins."
+008:025 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them,
+ "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
+008:026 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you.
+ However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard
+ from him, these I say to the world."
+008:027 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
+008:028 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son
+ of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing
+ of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
+008:029 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone,
+ for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
+008:030 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
+008:031 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him,
+ "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
+008:032 You will know the truth, and the truth will make
+ you free."{Psalm 119:45}
+008:033 They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been
+ in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"
+008:034 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, everyone who
+ commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
+008:035 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever.
+ A son remains forever.
+008:036 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
+008:037 I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me,
+ because my word finds no place in you.
+008:038 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you
+ also do the things which you have seen with your father."
+008:039 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them,
+ "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
+008:040 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth,
+ which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this.
+008:041 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were
+ not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
+008:042 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father,
+ you would love me, for I came out and have come from God.
+ For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.
+008:043 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't
+ hear my word.
+008:044 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires
+ of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning,
+ and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
+ When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar,
+ and the father of it.
+008:045 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.
+008:046 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth,
+ why do you not believe me?
+008:047 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you
+ don't hear, because you are not of God."
+008:048 Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are
+ a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
+008:049 Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father,
+ and you dishonor me.
+008:050 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
+008:051 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word,
+ he will never see death."
+008:052 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon.
+ Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps
+ my word, he will never taste of death.'
+008:053 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died?
+ The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
+008:054 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing.
+ It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that
+ he is our God.
+008:055 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't
+ know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him,
+ and keep his word.
+008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it,
+ and was glad."
+008:057 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old,
+ and have you seen Abraham?"
+008:058 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham
+ came into existence, I AM."
+008:059 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden,
+ and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst
+ of them, and so passed by.
+009:001 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
+009:002 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents,
+ that he was born blind?"
+009:003 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents;
+ but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
+009:004 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day.
+ The night is coming, when no one can work.
+009:005 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
+009:006 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with
+ the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
+009:007 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means
+ "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
+009:008 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was
+ blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"
+009:009 Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying,
+ "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
+009:010 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
+009:011 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes,
+ and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.'
+ So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
+009:012 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
+009:013 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
+009:014 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
+009:015 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received
+ his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed,
+ and I see."
+009:016 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is
+ not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath."
+ Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?"
+ There was division among them.
+009:017 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you
+ say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said,
+ "He is a prophet."
+009:018 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had
+ been blind, and had received his sight, until they called
+ the parents of him who had received his sight,
+009:019 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind?
+ How then does he now see?"
+009:020 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son,
+ and that he was born blind;
+009:021 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened
+ his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him.
+ He will speak for himself."
+009:022 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews;
+ for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess
+ him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
+009:023 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
+009:024 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him,
+ "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
+009:025 He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner.
+ One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."
+009:026 They said to him again, "What did he do to you?
+ How did he open your eyes?"
+009:027 He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen.
+ Why do you want to hear it again? You don't also want
+ to become his disciples, do you?"
+009:028 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we
+ are disciples of Moses.
+009:029 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man,
+ we don't know where he comes from."
+009:030 The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where
+ he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
+009:031 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone
+ is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens
+ to him.{Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9}
+009:032 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone
+ opened the eyes of someone born blind.
+009:033 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
+009:034 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins,
+ and do you teach us?" They threw him out.
+009:035 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him,
+ he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
+009:036 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"
+009:037 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who
+ speaks with you."
+009:038 He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.
+009:039 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who
+ don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."
+009:040 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things,
+ and said to him, "Are we also blind?"
+009:041 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin;
+ but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.
+010:001 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door
+ into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same
+ is a thief and a robber.
+010:002 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
+010:003 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep
+ listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name,
+ and leads them out.
+010:004 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them,
+ and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
+010:005 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him;
+ for they don't know the voice of strangers."
+010:006 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand
+ what he was telling them.
+010:007 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you,
+ I am the sheep's door.
+010:008 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep
+ didn't listen to them.
+010:009 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved,
+ and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
+010:010 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
+ I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
+010:011 I am the good shepherd.{Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:11-12,15,22}
+ The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
+010:012 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own
+ the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees.
+ The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.
+010:013 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't
+ care for the sheep.
+010:014 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;
+010:015 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.
+ I lay down my life for the sheep.
+010:016 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold.{Isaiah 56:8}
+ I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice.
+ They will become one flock with one shepherd.
+010:017 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life,{Isaiah
+ 53:7-8} that I may take it again.
+010:018 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself.
+ I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.
+ I received this commandment from my Father."
+010:019 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because
+ of these words.
+010:020 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane!
+ Why do you listen to him?"
+010:021 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon.
+ It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind,
+ is it?"{Exodus 4:11}
+010:022 It was the Feast of the Dedication{The "Feast of the Dedication"
+ is the Greek name for "Chanukkah," a celebration of the
+ rededication of the Temple.} at Jerusalem.
+010:023 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple,
+ in Solomon's porch.
+010:024 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long
+ will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ,
+ tell us plainly."
+010:025 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe.
+ The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
+010:026 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep,
+ as I told you.
+010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
+010:028 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish,
+ and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
+010:029 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all.
+ No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.
+010:030 I and the Father are one."
+010:031 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.
+010:032 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from
+ my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
+010:033 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work,
+ but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
+010:034 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said,
+ you are gods?'{Psalm 82:6}
+010:035 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came
+ (and the Scripture can't be broken),
+010:036 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world,
+ 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
+010:037 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.
+010:038 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works;
+ that you may know and believe that the Father is in me,
+ and I in the Father."
+010:039 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.
+010:040 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John
+ was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.
+010:041 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign,
+ but everything that John said about this man is true."
+010:042 Many believed in him there.
+011:001 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village
+ of Mary and her sister, Martha.
+011:002 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment,
+ and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
+011:003 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for
+ whom you have great affection is sick."
+011:004 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death,
+ but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
+011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
+011:006 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days
+ in the place where he was.
+011:007 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let's go
+ into Judea again."
+011:008 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying
+ to stone you, and are you going there again?"
+011:009 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight?
+ If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees
+ the light of this world.
+011:010 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light
+ isn't in him."
+011:011 He said these things, and after that, he said to them,
+ "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going
+ so that I may awake him out of sleep."
+011:012 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep,
+ he will recover."
+011:013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke
+ of taking rest in sleep.
+011:014 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
+011:015 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you
+ may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."
+011:016 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus,{"Didymus"
+ means "Twin"} said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go also,
+ that we may die with him."
+011:017 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb
+ four days already.
+011:018 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia{15 stadia
+ is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles} away.
+011:019 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary,
+ to console them concerning their brother.
+011:020 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him,
+ but Mary stayed in the house.
+011:021 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here,
+ my brother wouldn't have died.
+011:022 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
+011:023 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
+011:024 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the
+ resurrection at the last day."
+011:025 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
+ He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
+011:026 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
+ Do you believe this?"
+011:027 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you
+ are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."
+011:028 When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary,
+ her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here,
+ and is calling you."
+011:029 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
+011:030 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place
+ where Martha met him.
+011:031 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her,
+ when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out,
+ followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."
+011:032 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him,
+ she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would
+ have been here, my brother wouldn't have died."
+011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping
+ who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
+011:034 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They told him, "Lord,
+ come and see."
+011:035 Jesus wept.
+011:036 The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"
+011:037 Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes
+ of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
+011:038 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb.
+ Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
+011:039 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him
+ who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench,
+ for he has been dead four days."
+011:040 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed,
+ you would see God's glory?"
+011:041 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man
+ was lying.{NU omits "from the place where the dead man was
+ lying."} Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank
+ you that you listened to me.
+011:042 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude
+ that stands around I said this, that they may believe that
+ you sent me."
+011:043 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice,
+ "Lazarus, come out!"
+011:044 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings,
+ and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said
+ to them, "Free him, and let him go."
+011:045 Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did,
+ believed in him.
+011:046 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them
+ the things which Jesus had done.
+011:047 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council,
+ and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
+011:048 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him,
+ and the Romans will come and take away both our place
+ and our nation."
+011:049 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year,
+ said to them, "You know nothing at all,
+011:050 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man
+ should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
+011:051 Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year,
+ he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
+011:052 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather
+ together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
+011:053 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put
+ him to death.
+011:054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews,
+ but departed from there into the country near the wilderness,
+ to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
+011:055 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went
+ up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover,
+ to purify themselves.
+011:056 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another,
+ as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he isn't
+ coming to the feast at all?"
+011:057 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded
+ that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it,
+ that they might seize him.
+012:001 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany,
+ where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised
+ from the dead.
+012:002 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus
+ was one of those who sat at the table with him.
+012:003 Mary, therefore, took a pound{a Roman pound of 12 ounces,
+ or about 340 grams} of ointment of pure nard, very precious,
+ and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair.
+ The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
+012:004 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples,
+ who would betray him, said,
+012:005 "Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii,{300
+ denarii was about a year's wages for an agricultural laborer.}
+ and given to the poor?"
+012:006 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor,
+ but because he was a thief, and having the money box,
+ used to steal what was put into it.
+012:007 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day
+ of my burial.
+012:008 For you always have the poor with you, but you don't
+ always have me."
+012:009 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there,
+ and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might
+ see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
+012:010 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
+012:011 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and
+ believed in Jesus.
+012:012 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast.
+ When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
+012:013 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to
+ meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna{"Hosanna" means "save us"
+ or "help us, we pray."}! Blessed is he who comes in the name
+ of the Lord,{Psalm 118:25-26} the King of Israel!"
+012:014 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it.
+ As it is written,
+012:015 "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes,
+ sitting on a donkey's colt."{Zechariah 9:9}
+012:016 His disciples didn't understand these things at first,
+ but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that
+ these things were written about him, and that they had done
+ these things to him.
+012:017 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called
+ Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead,
+ was testifying about it.
+012:018 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they
+ heard that he had done this sign.
+012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you
+ accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."
+012:020 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship
+ at the feast.
+012:021 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee,
+ and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
+012:022 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip,
+ and they told Jesus.
+012:023 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man
+ to be glorified.
+012:024 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls
+ into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone.
+ But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
+012:025 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life
+ in this world will keep it to eternal life.
+012:026 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am,
+ there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me,
+ the Father will honor him.
+012:027 "Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me
+ from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.
+012:028 Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out
+ of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will
+ glorify it again."
+012:029 The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it
+ had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
+012:030 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake,
+ but for your sakes.
+012:031 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this
+ world will be cast out.
+012:032 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all
+ people to myself."
+012:033 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
+012:034 The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law
+ that the Christ remains forever.{Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44
+ (but see also Isaiah 53:8)} How do you say, 'The Son of Man
+ must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
+012:035 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light
+ is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness
+ doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't
+ know where he is going.
+012:036 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you
+ may become children of light." Jesus said these things,
+ and he departed and hid himself from them.
+012:037 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they
+ didn't believe in him,
+012:038 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
+ which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report?
+ To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"{Isaiah 53:1}
+012:039 For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again,
+012:040 "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they
+ should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart,
+ and would turn, and I would heal them."{Isaiah 6:10}
+012:041 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke
+ of him.{Isaiah 6:1}
+012:042 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him,
+ but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it,
+ so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,
+012:043 for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.
+012:044 Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not
+ in me, but in him who sent me.
+012:045 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
+012:046 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes
+ in me may not remain in the darkness.
+012:047 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe,
+ I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world,
+ but to save the world.
+012:048 He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one
+ who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge
+ him in the last day.
+012:049 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave
+ me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
+012:050 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things
+ therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me,
+ so I speak."
+013:001 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time
+ had come that he would depart from this world to the Father,
+ having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them
+ to the end.
+013:002 After supper, the devil having already put into the heart
+ of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
+013:003 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
+ and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
+013:004 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments.
+ He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
+013:005 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash
+ the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was
+ wrapped around him.
+013:006 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you
+ wash my feet?"
+013:007 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now,
+ but you will understand later."
+013:008 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!"
+ Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no
+ part with me."
+013:009 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my
+ hands and my head!"
+013:010 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have
+ his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean,
+ but not all of you."
+013:011 For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said,
+ "You are not all clean."
+013:012 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on,
+ and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I
+ have done to you?
+013:013 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly,
+ for so I am.
+013:014 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet,
+ you also ought to wash one another's feet.
+013:015 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I
+ have done to you.
+013:016 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord,
+ neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
+013:017 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
+013:018 I don't speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen.
+ But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread
+ with me has lifted up his heel against me.'{Psalm 41:9}
+013:019 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens,
+ you may believe that I am he.
+013:020 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send,
+ receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."
+013:021 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified,
+ "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
+013:022 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
+013:023 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table,
+ leaning against Jesus' breast.
+013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him,
+ "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
+013:025 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him,
+ "Lord, who is it?"
+013:026 Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will
+ give this piece of bread when I have dipped it."
+ So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas,
+ the son of Simon Iscariot.
+013:027 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him.
+ Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
+013:028 Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.
+013:029 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus
+ said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast,"
+ or that he should give something to the poor.
+013:030 Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately.
+ It was night.
+013:031 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has
+ been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
+013:032 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him
+ in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
+013:033 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer.
+ You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going,
+ you can't come,' so now I tell you.
+013:034 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,
+ just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
+013:035 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you
+ have love for one another."
+013:036 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?"
+ Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now,
+ but you will follow afterwards."
+013:037 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now?
+ I will lay down my life for you."
+013:038 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me?
+ Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you
+ have denied me three times.
+014:001 "Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God.
+ Believe also in me.
+014:002 In my Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so,
+ I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
+014:003 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
+ and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may
+ be there also.
+014:004 Where I go, you know, and you know the way."
+014:005 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going.
+ How can we know the way?"
+014:006 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.
+ No one comes to the Father, except through me.
+014:007 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
+ From now on, you know him, and have seen him."
+014:008 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will
+ be enough for us."
+014:009 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do
+ you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father.
+ How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
+014:010 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
+ The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself;
+ but the Father who lives in me does his works.
+014:011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me;
+ or else believe me for the very works' sake.
+014:012 Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works
+ that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works
+ than these, because I am going to my Father.
+014:013 Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
+ may be glorified in the Son.
+014:014 If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
+014:015 If you love me, keep my commandments.
+014:016 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another
+ Counselor,{Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor,
+ Advocate, and Comfortor.} that he may be with you forever,--
+014:017 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive;
+ for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him,
+ for he lives with you, and will be in you.
+014:018 I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
+014:019 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more;
+ but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
+014:020 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me,
+ and I in you.
+014:021 One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one
+ who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father,
+ and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
+014:022 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you
+ are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
+014:023 Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word.
+ My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make
+ our home with him.
+014:024 He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word
+ which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.
+014:025 I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
+014:026 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
+ in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind
+ you of all that I said to you.
+014:027 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the
+ world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled,
+ neither let it be fearful.
+014:028 You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.'
+ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I
+ am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.
+014:029 Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,
+ you may believe.
+014:030 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes,
+ and he has nothing in me.
+014:031 But that the world may know that I love the Father,
+ and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us
+ go from here.
+015:001 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
+015:002 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away.
+ Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may
+ bear more fruit.
+015:003 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I
+ have spoken to you.
+015:004 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit
+ by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you,
+ unless you remain in me.
+015:005 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me,
+ and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me
+ you can do nothing.
+015:006 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch,
+ and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire,
+ and they are burned.
+015:007 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask
+ whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
+015:008 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit;
+ and so you will be my disciples.
+015:009 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you.
+ Remain in my love.
+015:010 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love;
+ even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain
+ in his love.
+015:011 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you,
+ and that your joy may be made full.
+015:012 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I
+ have loved you.
+015:013 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his
+ life for his friends.
+015:014 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
+015:015 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't
+ know what his lord does. But I have called you friends,
+ for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made
+ known to you.
+015:016 You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you
+ should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain;
+ that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name,
+ he may give it to you.
+015:017 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
+015:018 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before
+ it hated you.
+015:019 If you were of the world, the world would love its own.
+ But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out
+ of the world, therefore the world hates you.
+015:020 Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not
+ greater than his lord.'{John 13:16} If they persecuted me,
+ they will also persecute you. If they kept my word,
+ they will keep yours also.
+015:021 But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake,
+ because they don't know him who sent me.
+015:022 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin;
+ but now they have no excuse for their sin.
+015:023 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
+015:024 If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did,
+ they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also
+ hated both me and my Father.
+015:025 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled
+ which was written in their law, 'They hated me without
+ a cause.'{Psalms 35:19; 69:4}
+015:026 "When the Counselor{Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper,
+ Advocate, Intercessor, and Comfortor.} has come, whom I
+ will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth,
+ who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
+015:027 You will also testify, because you have been with me
+ from the beginning.
+016:001 "These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't
+ be caused to stumble.
+016:002 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes
+ that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
+016:003 They will do these things{TR adds "to you"} because they
+ have not known the Father, nor me.
+016:004 But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes,
+ you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell
+ you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
+016:005 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me,
+ 'Where are you going?'
+016:006 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has
+ filled your heart.
+016:007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I
+ go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you.
+ But if I go, I will send him to you.
+016:008 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin,
+ about righteousness, and about judgment;
+016:009 about sin, because they don't believe in me;
+016:010 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you
+ won't see me any more;
+016:011 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
+016:012 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
+016:013 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide
+ you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself;
+ but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you
+ things that are coming.
+016:014 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine,
+ and will declare it to you.
+016:015 All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said
+ that he takes{TR reads "will take" instead of "takes"} of mine,
+ and will declare it to you.
+016:016 A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while,
+ and you will see me."
+016:017 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is
+ this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me,
+ and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I
+ go to the Father?'"
+016:018 They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?'
+ We don't know what he is saying."
+016:019 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said
+ to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this,
+ that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again
+ a little while, and you will see me?'
+016:020 Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament,
+ but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your
+ sorrow will be turned into joy.
+016:021 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come.
+ But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember
+ the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born
+ into the world.
+016:022 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again,
+ and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy
+ away from you.
+016:023 "In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly
+ I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name,
+ he will give it to you.
+016:024 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you
+ will receive, that your joy may be made full.
+016:025 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech.
+ But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in
+ figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
+016:026 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you,
+ that I will pray to the Father for you,
+016:027 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me,
+ and have believed that I came forth from God.
+016:028 I came out from the Father, and have come into the world.
+ Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
+016:029 His disciples said to him, "Behold, now you speak plainly,
+ and speak no figures of speech.
+016:030 Now we know that you know all things, and don't need for
+ anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came
+ forth from God."
+016:031 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
+016:032 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you
+ will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will
+ leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father
+ is with me.
+016:033 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace.
+ In the world you have oppression; but cheer up!
+ I have overcome the world."
+017:001 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven,
+ he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son,
+ that your Son may also glorify you;
+017:002 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give
+ eternal life to all whom you have given him.
+017:003 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God,
+ and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
+017:004 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work
+ which you have given me to do.
+017:005 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory
+ which I had with you before the world existed.
+017:006 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out
+ of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me.
+ They have kept your word.
+017:007 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given
+ me are from you,
+017:008 for the words which you have given me I have given to them,
+ and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth
+ from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
+017:009 I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom
+ you have given me, for they are yours.
+017:010 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine,
+ and I am glorified in them.
+017:011 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,
+ and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through
+ your name which you have given me, that they may be one,
+ even as we are.
+017:012 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name.
+ Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them
+ is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture
+ might be fulfilled.
+017:013 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world,
+ that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
+017:014 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they
+ are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
+017:015 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you
+ would keep them from the evil one.
+017:016 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
+017:017 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.{Psalm 119:142}
+017:018 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them
+ into the world.
+017:019 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves
+ also may be sanctified in truth.
+017:020 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe
+ in me through their word,
+017:021 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me,
+ and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world
+ may believe that you sent me.
+017:022 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them;
+ that they may be one, even as we are one;
+017:023 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one;
+ that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them,
+ even as you loved me.
+017:024 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me
+ where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me,
+ for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
+017:025 Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you;
+ and these knew that you sent me.
+017:026 I made known to them your name, and will make it known;
+ that the love with which you loved me may be in them,
+ and I in them."
+018:001 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his
+ disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden,
+ into which he and his disciples entered.
+018:002 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus
+ often met there with his disciples.
+018:003 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers
+ from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there
+ with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
+018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him,
+ went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
+018:005 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them,
+ "I am he." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
+018:006 When therefore he said to them, "I am he," they went backward,
+ and fell to the ground.
+018:007 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?"
+ They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
+018:008 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If therefore you
+ seek me, let these go their way,"
+018:009 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom
+ you have given me, I have lost none."{John 6:39}
+018:010 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck
+ the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear.
+ The servant's name was Malchus.
+018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath.
+ The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not
+ surely drink it?"
+018:012 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers
+ of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,
+018:013 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas,
+ who was high priest that year.
+018:014 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient
+ that one man should perish for the people.
+018:015 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple.
+ Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered
+ in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
+018:016 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple,
+ who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her
+ who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
+018:017 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you
+ also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
+018:018 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made
+ a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves.
+ Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
+018:019 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples,
+ and about his teaching.
+018:020 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught
+ in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet.
+ I said nothing in secret.
+018:021 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said
+ to them. Behold, these know the things which I said."
+018:022 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped
+ Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high
+ priest like that?"
+018:023 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil;
+ but if well, why do you beat me?"
+018:024 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
+018:025 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said
+ therefore to him, "You aren't also one of his disciples, are you?"
+ He denied it, and said, "I am not."
+018:026 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative
+ of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you
+ in the garden with him?"
+018:027 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
+018:028 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium.
+ It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium,
+ that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
+018:029 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation
+ do you bring against this man?"
+018:030 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't
+ have delivered him up to you."
+018:031 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge
+ him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him,
+ "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
+018:032 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke,
+ signifying by what kind of death he should die.
+018:033 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus,
+ and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
+018:034 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others
+ tell you about me?"
+018:035 Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and
+ the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
+018:036 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world.
+ If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants
+ would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews.
+ But now my Kingdom is not from here."
+018:037 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"
+ Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this
+ reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come
+ into the world, that I should testify to the truth.
+ Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
+018:038 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this,
+ he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find
+ no basis for a charge against him.
+018:039 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you
+ at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you
+ the King of the Jews?"
+018:040 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man,
+ but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
+019:001 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
+019:002 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head,
+ and dressed him in a purple garment.
+019:003 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they
+ kept slapping him.
+019:004 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring
+ him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis
+ for a charge against him."
+019:005 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and
+ the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"
+019:006 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him,
+ they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them,
+ "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis
+ for a charge against him."
+019:007 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought
+ to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
+019:008 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
+019:009 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are
+ you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
+019:010 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me?
+ Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power
+ to crucify you?"
+019:011 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me,
+ unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who
+ delivered me to you has greater sin."
+019:012 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out,
+ saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend!
+ Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
+019:013 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out,
+ and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement,"
+ but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha."
+019:014 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth
+ hour.{noon} He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
+019:015 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"
+ Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief
+ priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
+019:016 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified.
+ So they took Jesus and led him away.
+019:017 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place
+ of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
+019:018 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either
+ side one, and Jesus in the middle.
+019:019 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross.
+ There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
+019:020 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place
+ where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written
+ in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
+019:021 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write,
+ 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"
+019:022 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
+019:023 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments
+ and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat.
+ Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
+019:024 Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots
+ for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might
+ be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among them.
+ For my cloak they cast lots."{Psalm 22:18} Therefore the soldiers
+ did these things.
+019:025 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother,
+ and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
+ and Mary Magdalene.
+019:026 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom
+ he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman,
+ behold your son!"
+019:027 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"
+ From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
+019:028 After this, Jesus, seeing{NU, TR read "knowing" instead of
+ "seeing"} that all things were now finished, that the Scripture
+ might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
+019:029 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge
+ full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
+019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
+ "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
+019:031 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day,
+ so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath
+ (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their
+ legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
+019:032 Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first,
+ and of the other who was crucified with him;
+019:033 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead,
+ they didn't break his legs.
+019:034 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear,
+ and immediately blood and water came out.
+019:035 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true.
+ He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
+019:036 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
+ "A bone of him will not be broken."{Exodus 12:46;
+ Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20}
+019:037 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom
+ they pierced."{Zechariah 12:10}
+019:038 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple
+ of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate
+ that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission.
+ He came therefore and took away his body.
+019:039 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came
+ bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
+ pounds.{100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds,
+ or 33 Kilograms.}
+019:040 So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with
+ the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
+019:041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden.
+ In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever
+ yet been laid.
+019:042 Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was
+ near at hand) they laid Jesus there.
+020:001 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early,
+ while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken
+ away from the tomb.
+020:002 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other
+ disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken
+ away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they
+ have laid him!"
+020:003 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went
+ toward the tomb.
+020:004 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter,
+ and came to the tomb first.
+020:005 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying,
+ yet he didn't enter in.
+020:006 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb.
+ He saw the linen cloths lying,
+020:007 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with
+ the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
+020:008 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also
+ entered in, and he saw and believed.
+020:009 For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise
+ from the dead.
+020:010 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
+020:011 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept,
+ she stooped and looked into the tomb,
+020:012 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head,
+ and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
+020:013 They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them,
+ "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know
+ where they have laid him."
+020:014 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing,
+ and didn't know that it was Jesus.
+020:015 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?
+ Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener,
+ said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me
+ where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
+020:016 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him, "Rhabbouni!"
+ which is to say, "Teacher!"
+020:017 Jesus said to her, "Don't touch me, for I haven't yet
+ ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them,
+ 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God
+ and your God.'"
+020:018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
+ the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
+020:019 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week,
+ and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled,
+ for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst,
+ and said to them, "Peace be to you."
+020:020 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
+ The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
+020:021 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you.
+ As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."
+020:022 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them,
+ "Receive the Holy Spirit!
+020:023 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them.
+ Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."
+020:024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them
+ when Jesus came.
+020:025 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen
+ the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands
+ the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side,
+ I will not believe."
+020:026 After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas
+ was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood
+ in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you."
+020:027 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see
+ my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side.
+ Don't be unbelieving, but believing."
+020:028 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
+020:029 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me,{TR adds "
+ Thomas,"} you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen,
+ and have believed."
+020:030 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of
+ his disciples, which are not written in this book;
+020:031 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is
+ the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have
+ life in his name.
+021:001 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples
+ at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
+021:002 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana
+ in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his
+ disciples were together.
+021:003 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing."
+ They told him, "We are also coming with you."
+ They immediately went out, and entered into the boat.
+ That night, they caught nothing.
+021:004 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach,
+ yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.
+021:005 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?"
+ They answered him, "No."
+021:006 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat,
+ and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they
+ weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
+021:007 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's
+ the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
+ he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw
+ himself into the sea.
+021:008 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they
+ were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits{200
+ cubits is about 100 yards or about 91 meters} away),
+ dragging the net full of fish.
+021:009 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there,
+ and fish laid on it, and bread.
+021:010 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you
+ have just caught."
+021:011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish,
+ one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many,
+ the net wasn't torn.
+021:012 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast."
+ None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?"
+ knowing that it was the Lord.
+021:013 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them,
+ and the fish likewise.
+021:014 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples,
+ after he had risen from the dead.
+021:015 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to
+ Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?"
+ He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you."
+ He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
+021:016 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah,
+ do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I
+ have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
+021:017 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you
+ have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked
+ him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?"
+ He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I
+ have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
+021:018 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself,
+ and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old,
+ you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you,
+ and carry you where you don't want to go."
+021:019 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would
+ glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."
+021:020 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following.
+ This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved,
+ the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper
+ and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"
+021:021 Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
+021:022 Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come,
+ what is that to you? You follow me."
+021:023 This saying therefore went out among the brothers{The word
+ for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers
+ and sisters" or "siblings."}, that this disciple wouldn't die.
+ Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I
+ desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"
+021:024 This is the disciple who testifies about these things,
+ and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
+021:025 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they
+ would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself
+ wouldn't have room for the books that would be written.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,

+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
