JHN EN_AICNT_20231009

1 In the beginning[fn] was the Word[fn], and the Word was with[fn] God, and God was the Word.[fn]

2 This was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through it,[fn] and without it not even one thing was made.

What has been made 4 in it {was}[fn] life, and the life was the light of men.[fn]

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome[fn] it.

6 There was a man, sent from {God},[fn] whose name was John.

7 This one came for a testimony, to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.

8 He was not the light, but came to testify about the light.

9 The true light, which enlightens every person, was coming into the world.[fn]

10 He[fn] was in the world,[fn] and the world came into being through him,[fn] yet the world did not know him.

11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.

12 [But][fn] To all who received him, he gave them the right to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, [nor of the will of a man,][fn] but of God.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have beheld his glory, glory as of the unique[fn] one from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 John bears witness concerning him and has cried out, [saying,][fn] “This was he of whom [I said],[fn] ‘He who comes after me has become before me, because he was first with me.’ ”[fn]

16 {For}[fn] from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

17 For the law was given through Moses; [[But]][fn] grace and truth came through Jesus [Christ].[fn]

18 No one has ever seen God; unique[fn] {Son},[fn] [who is][fn] in the bosom of the Father, that one has made known.

19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent [to him][fn] from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he did not deny, [and he confessed,][fn] “I am not the Christ.”

21 And they asked him [[again]],[fn] “What then? [Are you][fn] Elijah?” [And][fn] He says, “I am not.” “[[What then,]][fn] Are you the prophet?” And {he answered, “No.”}[fn]

22 So they said to him, “Who are you? That we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”[fn]

24 And {they were sent}[fn] from the Pharisees; 25 [And they asked him][fn] [and said to him,][fn] “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, {nor Elijah, nor the prophet}?”[fn] 26 John answered them, [saying,][fn] “I [[indeed]][fn] baptize [[you]][fn] with water; [[but]][fn] among you stands one whom you do not know, 27 [[he is]][fn] {the one}[fn] coming after me [[who was before me,]][fn] of whom I am not {worthy}[fn] to untie the strap of his sandal.”

28 These things [[indeed]][fn] took place in {Bethany}[fn] across the Jordan [[River]],[fn] where John was baptizing [[first]].[fn]

29 The next day {he}[fn] sees Jesus coming [toward him] and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 30 This is the one {about}[fn] whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was first with respect to me.’[fn] 31 And I did not know him, but in order that he might be revealed to Israel, for this reason I came baptizing in water.”

32 And John testified, [saying,][fn] “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him. 33 And I did not know [him],[fn] but the one who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’[fn] 34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the {chosen}[fn] of God.”

35 On the next day, John was [standing][fn] [again][fn] with two of his disciples, 36 And looking at Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God. [[The one taking away the sin of the world.]]”[fn]

37 [And][fn] {The}[fn] two disciples heard him speaking [and][fn] followed Jesus.

38 [But][fn] Jesus, having turned and seen them following [[him]],[fn] says [to them],[fn] “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which is translated as ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” 39 He says to them, “Come and see.” [So][fn] They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day; it was about the tenth hour. 40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John and followed him.

41 He finds first his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” which is translated Christ.[fn]

42 [[Therefore,]][fn] He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of {John};[fn] you will be called Cephas,” which is translated as Peter.[fn]

43 The next day he[fn] wanted to go out to Galilee and found Philip. And {Jesus}[fn] says to him, “Follow me.” 44 [Now][fn] Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law and the prophets, Jesus {son}[fn] of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 [And][fn] Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and says about {him},[fn] “Behold, truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.” 48 Nathanael says to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49 Nathanael answered him [[and said to him]],[fn] “Rabbi, you are [[truly]][fn] the son of God,[fn] you are the king of Israel.”

50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you [that][fn] I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he says to him, “Truly, truly I say to you [[hereafter]],[fn] you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

2 And on the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 And Jesus was [also][fn] invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.

3 And when the wine ran out [[, the wine of the wedding was gone]];[fn] {The mother of Jesus}[fn] says to him, “{They have}[fn] no wine.” 4 [And][fn] Jesus says to her, “What is it to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet come.”

5 [[Therefore]][fn] His mother says to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish purification [standing],[fn] each holding two or three measures.[fn] 7 [[And]][fn] Jesus says to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the top. 8 [And][fn] {he}[fn] says to them, “Draw out [now][fn] and bring to the master of the feast;” and they brought.

9 But when the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he says [to him],[fn] “Every man first puts the good wine, and when they are intoxicated, [[then]][fn] the lesser; you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 The [[first]][fn] beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and {his}[fn] brothers [and {his}[fn] disciples],[fn] and they stayed there for a few days.

13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting, 15 And making a whip out of cords, he drove all, both the sheep and the oxen out of the temple, [and he poured out the coins of the money changers][fn] and overturned their tables, 16 and to those selling the doves he said, “Take these things away from here; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” 17 [[And]][fn] his disciples remembered that it is written, “The zeal for your house will consume me.”[fn]

18 Therefore, the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign do you show [us][fn] that you do these things?”

19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 So the Jews said, “This temple was built in forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of {his}[fn] body. 22 Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this [[to them]],[fn] and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

23 But when he was in Jerusalem during the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, seeing the signs which he did; 24 But {Jesus}[fn] himself did not {entrust himself to them},[fn] because he knew all men, 25 And [because][fn] he had no need that anyone should testify about man; for he himself knew what was in man.

3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this one came to {him}[fn] at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

3 Jesus answered [and said to him],[fn] “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above,[fn] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 Nicodemus says 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?”

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, [truly,][fn] I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot {enter}[fn] the kingdom of {God}.[fn]

6 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 “Do not be amazed that I said to you,[fn] ‘You must be born from above.’[fn]

8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from {and}[fn] where it goes; so is everyone who is born of the [[water and the]][fn] Spirit.”

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

10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things?”

11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you[fn] do not receive our testimony.[fn]

12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?[fn]

13 And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man [[who is in heaven]].[fn]

14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may [[not perish but]][fn] have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave {the}[fn] unique Son [[into the world]],[fn] so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send {the}[fn] Son into the world in order to judge the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

18 The one who believes in him is not judged; [but][fn] the one who does not believe [[in him]][fn] has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of {the unique Son of God}.[fn]

19 And this is the judgment: that [the][fn] light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.

20 [For][fn] Everyone who does evil hates the light [and does not come to the light,][fn] so that their deeds may not be exposed [[as evil]].[fn]

21 [[But][fn] the one who does the truth comes to the light, in order that their deeds may be revealed, that they have been done in God.][fn] [[For in God is peace established.]][fn]

22 After this, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea, and there he spent time with them and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there, and people came and were baptized; 24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.

25 Then a dispute arose between John's disciples and {a Jew}[fn] about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, this one is baptizing and all are coming to him.” 27 John answered and said, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify to me [that][fn] I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before that one.’

29 “The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This joy of mine has been fulfilled. 30 That one must increase, but I must decrease.”

31 The one who comes from above is above all; he who is {of}[fn] the earth is from the earth[fn] [and speaks from the earth].[fn] The one coming from heaven [is above all];[fn][fn] 32 [[And]][fn] what he has seen and heard, [this][fn] he testifies, and no one receives his testimony.

33 The one who has received his testimony has sealed[fn] that God is true.

34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for {he}[fn] does not give by measure [the Spirit].[fn]

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

36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; [but][fn] the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. [[And after these things, John was handed over.]][fn]

4 So when {Jesus}[fn] knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making more disciples and baptizing than John 2 — although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were — 3 he left {Judea}[fn] and went back [again][fn] to Galilee. 4 But he had to pass through Samaria.

5 He comes to {a city of Samaria}[fn] called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down by the well; it was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink”; 8 for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 [So][fn] The Samaritan woman says to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan [woman]?”[fn] [For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.][fn]

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

11 She says to him [the woman],[fn] “Sir, you have neither a bucket and the well is deep; where [then][fn] do you get the living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us {the}[fn] well and drank from it himself, as well as {his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but {the one who}[fn] drinks from the water that I will give him [will never thirst again. The water that I will give him][fn] will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

15 The woman says to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.” 16 {He}[fn] says to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said [to him],[fn] “I have no husband.” Jesus says to her, “You have said well that ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

19 The woman says to him, “[Lord,][fn] I perceive that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you[fn] say that in Jerusalem is [the place][fn] where people ought to worship.”

21 Jesus says to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you[fn] worship the Father. 22 You[fn] worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father seeks such as these to worship him [[in spirit]].[fn] 24 God is spirit, and those who worship [him][fn] must worship in spirit and truth.”

25 The woman says to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, the one called Christ;[fn] when that one comes, he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus says to her, “I am, the one speaking to you.”

27 And [upon this,][fn] his disciples came and {were amazed}[fn] that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said [[to him]],[fn] “What are you seeking?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”

28 So the woman left her water jar and went into the city and tells the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 They [[therefore]][fn] went out of the city and came to him.

31 In the meantime, {the}[fn] disciples were asking [him],[fn] saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 [But][fn] He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 [So][fn] The disciples were saying to {one another},[fn] “Did someone bring him something to eat?”

34 Jesus says to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘[Yet][fn] There are four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are white for harvest. {Already}[fn] 36 the one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that [[also]][fn] that the one sowing may rejoice together with the one reaping. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap what you have not labored for; others have labored, and you have entered [into][fn] their labor.”

39 But from that city many of the Samaritans believed [in him][fn] because of the woman's testimony, saying, “He told me everything [I have ever done].”[fn] 40 So when the Samaritans {came to}[fn] him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed [[in him]][fn] because of his word, 42 and they said to the woman [that],[fn] “We no longer believe because of your {words},[fn] for we have heard [[from him]][fn] for ourselves and know that this one is [truly][fn] [[the Christ]][fn] the Savior of the world.”

43 After two days, {he departed from there}[fn] to Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45 So {when}[fn] he came to Galilee, [the Galileans welcomed him,][fn] the men who had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they too had gone to the feast.

46 So {he}[fn] came again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum. 47 [This one,][fn] Hearing that Jesus came from Judea into Galilee, went [to him][fn] and was asking [him][fn] that he might come down and heal his son, for he was about to die. 48 [Therefore][fn] Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”[fn] 49 The royal official says to him, “Lord, come down before {my}[fn] child dies.”

50 Jesus says to him, “Go, your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke [to him][fn] and [went on his way];[fn] 51 But already as {he was coming down, his servants}[fn] met him, {saying}[fn] that his {child}[fn] lives. 52 [So][fn] He asked them the hour when he began to get better; they said [to him],[fn] “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left {him}.”[fn]

53 {The}[fn] father knew that it was at that hour when {Jesus}[fn] had said to him, “Your son lives,” and he believed, he and his whole household.

54 This [then][fn] again a second sign Jesus did, coming from Judea into Galilee.

5 After this there was {a}[fn] feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 {[Now there is in Jerusalem][fn] By the Sheep Gate there is a pool},[fn] which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. 3 [[Therefore]][fn] In these lay a [[great]][fn] multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and {withered}[fn] [[waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring up of the water, was made well from whatever disease he had.]][fn]

5 And a certain man was there [who had been][fn] in [his][fn] sickness for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been there a long time [already],[fn] he says to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man {answered}[fn] him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus says to him, “Rise, [[and]][fn] take up your bed, and walk.”

9 And [immediately][fn] the man was made well, and he [[rose and]][fn] took up his bed and walked.

Now it was the Sabbath [on that day].[fn] 10 So the Jews said to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry {the}[fn] bed.”

11 [But he][fn] answered them, “The one who made {me}[fn] well said to me, ‘Take up {your}[fn] bed and walk.’ ” 12 [[Therefore]][fn] [They asked [him],[fn] “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up [[your bed]][fn] and walk’?”][fn] 13 [But][fn] the one who was {healed}[fn] did not know who it was, {for}[fn] Jesus had slipped away, there being a crowd in the place.

14 Afterward Jesus found {him}[fn] in the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” 15 [[Therefore]][fn] The man went away and {reported to}[fn] the Jews [[and said to them]][fn] that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 [And][fn] For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus [[and sought to kill him]],[fn] because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 But {he}[fn] answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18 [Therefore,][fn] for this reason, 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 to God.

19 {Jesus therefore answered and}[fn] said to them, “Truly, [truly,][fn] I say to you, the Son [[of Man]][fn] {can do nothing}[fn] of himself, unless he sees the Father doing [something];[fn] for {whatever}[fn] the Father does, the Son does likewise.

20 “For the Father loves the Son and shows him {all that he himself is doing};[fn] and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

21 “Just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also the Son gives life to whom he wishes.

22 “For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all men may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, [that][fn] whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the {hour}[fn] is coming, [and now is,][fn] when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26 “For [just][fn] as the Father has life in himself [, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself];[fn] 27 he has given him authority [[also]][fn] to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30 “I can do nothing on my own; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the {one}[fn] who sent me.

31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true;[fn] 32 there is another who testifies about me [, and I know that {the}[fn] testimony which he {testifies} about me is true].[fn]

33 “You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth; 34 But I do not accept the testimony from men, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 “That one was the lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

36 “But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, {these very}[fn] works [that I do],[fn] testify [about me][fn] that the Father has sent me.

37 “And the Father who sent me, he has [[himself]][fn] testified about me. You have never heard his voice nor seen {his}[fn] form, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, because the one whom he sent, you do not believe in him.

39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and {these are they}[fn] which testify about me; 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

41 “I do not receive glory from men, 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

43 “[[But]][fn] I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

44 “How can you believe, receiving glory from one another, and not seeking the glory that comes from the only [God]?[fn]

45 “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you [[before the Father]],[fn] Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

6 After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee [, {which is the}[fn] Tiberias].[fn] 2 And a large crowd was following him, [because][fn] they {were observing}[fn] the signs which he was performing on the sick.

3 Jesus went up on the mountain and sat [there][fn] with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.

5 Therefore, [Jesus,][fn] lifting up his eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming towards him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these men may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, {for}[fn] he himself knew what he was going to do.

7 [[Therefore]][fn] Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, so that each [[of them]][fn] might receive a little [something].”[fn]

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him, 9 “There is {a}[fn] boy [[here]][fn] who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?” 10 [[But]][fn] Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” There was plenty of {grass}[fn] in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

11 {Therefore},[fn] Jesus took the [[five]][fn] loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed them [[to his disciples, and the disciples]][fn] to those who were seated,[fn] [[but]][fn] [likewise][fn] also from the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost [[from among them]].”[fn] 13 {So}[fn] they gathered them up, and from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.

14 [When the men, having seen {what sign that}[fn] {he}[fn] performed, said [that][fn] “This is [truly][fn] the prophet who is to come into the world.”][fn]

15 Therefore, Jesus knowing that they were about to come and seize him to make him king, he {withdrew}[fn] [again][fn] to the mountain {by himself}.[fn] [[And there he prayed.]][fn]

16 When evening came, {his disciples}[fn] went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. {And it was already dark},[fn] and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea was stirred up by a great wind blowing.

19 When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty {stadia},[fn] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he says to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they wanted to take him into the boat, [and immediately][fn] the boat was on the land to which they were going.

22 The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one [[that his disciples had entered]],[fn] and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but only his disciples had gone away alone.

23 {But other boats came}[fn] from Tiberias [near the place][fn] where they ate the bread [after the Lord had given thanks].[fn] 24 {So when the crowd saw}[fn] that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus. 25 And [not][fn] finding him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, [you are looking for me,][fn] not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 {Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food}[fn] that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man {will give}[fn] you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”

28 They said [therefore][fn] to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one whom he has sent.”

30 [So][fn] they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

32 [Therefore][fn] Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.[fn] 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

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

35 [Therefore][fn] Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to me will never be hungry, and the one believing in me will never be thirsty. 36 But I said to you that [even][fn] you have seen [me][fn] and do not believe [[me]].[fn] 37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not cast out the one who comes to me. 38 For I have {come down from heaven, not}[fn] to do my will but the will of the {one}[fn] who sent me;

39 “[This is the will of the {one}[fn] who sent me,][fn] That I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up {on}[fn] the last day. 40 [For this is the will][fn] Of {my Father},[fn] that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 [So][fn] The Jews grumbled about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” 42 and they said, “Is not this [Jesus, the son of Joseph,][fn] whose father [and mother][fn] we know? How can he [now][fn] say [that],[fn] ‘I have come down from heaven?’ ”

43 Jesus [[therefore]][fn] answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless [the Father][fn] who sent me draws him [[to me]],[fn] and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’[fn] [[Therefore,]][fn] Everyone who has heard and learned [[the truth]][fn] from the Father comes to me.

46 “Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from {God};[fn] this one has seen {the Father}.[fn]

47 “Truly, truly, I say to you [that],[fn] the one believing [[in me]][fn] has eternal life.

48 “I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the {manna in the wilderness,}[fn] and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that [if][fn] one may eat of it and not die.

51 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. [[Therefore]][fn] If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh [[which I shall give]][fn] for the life of the world.”

52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How [[then]][fn] can this man give us [his][fn] flesh to eat?”

53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have [[eternal]][fn] life in yourselves.

54 “The one who eats {my}[fn] flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

55 “[For][fn] my flesh is {true}[fn] {food}[fn] [ ,and my blood is {true} drink].[fn] 56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. [[Just as the Father is in me and I in the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you take the body of the Son of Man as the bread of life, you do not have life in him.]][fn]

57 “Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of {the}[fn] Father, so the one who {feeds on}[fn] me, he also will live because of me.

58 “This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread {the fathers ate}[fn] and died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

59 He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum [[on the Sabbath]].[fn]

60 Therefore, many of {his}[fn] disciples, when they heard this, said, “This teaching is difficult; who can listen to it?”

61 {But}[fn] Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 [Therefore][fn] If you see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

63 “The spirit is what gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

64 “But there are some of you who do not believe.” For {Jesus}[fn] knew from the beginning who {[who were the ones not believing and][fn] who was the one to betray him.}[fn] 65 And he said, “For this reason I have told you [that][fn] no one can come to me unless it has been given [to him][fn] from by {the}[fn] Father.”

66 [Therefore][fn] From this time many of {his}[fn] disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

67 {Then}[fn] Jesus said to the twelve [[disciples]],[fn] “Do you also want to leave?” 68 Simon Peter {answered}[fn] him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed and come to know that you are the {Holy One}[fn] of [[the living]][fn] God.”

70 Jesus answered [[and said to]][fn] [them],[fn] “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of {Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot},[fn] for he was going to betray him, one of the twelve.

7 [And][fn] After this, Jesus was walking in Galilee; for he did not {want}[fn] to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.

2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near. 3 Therefore his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to {Judea},[fn] so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing; 4 for no one does anything in secret and seeks [himself][fn] to be in openness. If you do these things, reveal [yourself][fn] to the world.” 5 For even his brothers did not believe in him [[then]].[fn]

6 Jesus [then][fn] says to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify [of it,][fn] that its works are evil. 8 You go up to {the}[fn] feast; I am not [[yet]][fn] going up to this feast, for my time has not yet been fulfilled.” 9 [And][fn] Having said these things [[to them]],[fn] he remained in Galilee.

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but [as it were][fn] in secret. 11 So the Jews sought him at the feast and said, “Where is that man?” 12 And there was [much][fn] murmuring among the people concerning him. Some said, “He is good”; others [however][fn] said, “No, but he deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.

14 Now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never learned?”

16 Jesus [then][fn] answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone desires [to do][fn] his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority.

18 “He who speaks from himself seeks his own [glory];[fn] but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent {him},[fn] this one is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 “Did not Moses give you the law [, and yet none of you keeps the law]?[fn] Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 [The crowd answered [[and said]],[fn] “You have a demon; who is seeking to kill you?”][fn]

21 Jesus answered and said [to them],[fn] “I did one work, and you [all][fn] marvel. 22 [For this reason,][fn] Moses gave you circumcision - not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers - and on the Sabbath, you circumcise a man. 23 [So][fn] If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, [[why]][fn] are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

25 [Therefore][fn]some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the one they seek to kill? 26 And behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing [to him].[fn] Could it be that the rulers truly knew that this is [[truly]][fn] the Christ? 27 But we know where this man is from; [but][fn] when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”

28 Then Jesus cried out, as he taught in the temple, saying, “You both know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know. 29 [But][fn] I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me.”

30 [Therefore][fn] they were seeking to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31 And many from the crowd believed in him and said, [that][fn] “When the Christ comes, will he do more [[of these]][fn] signs than these which this man has done?”

32 [[But]][fn] The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring [these things][fn] about him, and [the chief priests and the Pharisees][fn] sent officers to arrest him.

33 Therefore Jesus said [[to them]],[fn] “For a little while longer I am with you, and then I go to the one who sent me. 34 You will seek me and not find [me],[fn] and where I am, you cannot come [[there]].”[fn]

35 So the Jews said [to themselves],[fn] “Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this statement that he said, ‘You will seek me and not find [me],[fn] and where I am, you cannot come?’ ”

37 On the last day [, the great day][fn] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come [to me][fn] and drink. 38 The one who believes in me, as the Scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’ ” 39 But this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were [about][fn] to receive; for the [[Holy]][fn] Spirit was not yet [[upon them]],[fn] because Jesus was not yet glorified.

40 {Some}[fn] of the crowd, therefore, when they heard these words[fn] [[of him]][fn] were saying, [[that]][fn] “This is truly the prophet.” 41 Others said, [[that]][fn] [“This is the Christ,” but {some}[fn] said,][fn] “Does the Christ come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”[fn]

43 So a division occurred in the crowd because of him. 44 And some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 So the officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The servants answered [[and said]],[fn] “Never has a man spoken [[in this way]].”[fn] 47 [So][fn] The Pharisees answered [[them]],[fn] “Have you also been deceived? 48 Has any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But these crowds, who do not know the law, are accursed.”[fn]

50 Nicodemus, [who had come to him [earlier][fn] [[by night]],[fn]][fn] being one of them, says to them, 51 “Does not our law judge a man unless it [first][fn] hears [from him][fn] and {knows what he is doing}[fn] ?”

52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [[the scriptures]][fn] and see that no prophet {arises}[fn] from Galilee.”[fn]

Pericope Adulterae Interpolation (John 7:53-8:11)[fn]

53 [[And each went to his own house.]][fn]

Pericope Adulterae Interpolation[fn]

8 [[But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he {came}[fn] again to the temple. All the people came to him, [[and he sat down and taught them]].[fn] 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought [[to him]][fn] a woman who had been caught in {adultery},[fn] and placing her in the midst 4 they say to him, [[testing,]][fn] [[so that they might have an accusation against him,]][fn] “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 {Now in the Law, Moses commanded us}[fn] to stone such. So what do you say?” 6 [[This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him.]] [fn]

Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground [[not pretending]].[fn] 7 And as they continued to ask [[him]],[fn] he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground [[the sins of each of them]].[fn] 9 But {when they heard it},[fn] they went away one by one [[convicted by their conscience]],[fn] beginning with the elders [[even to the last]],[fn] and {he}[fn] was left alone, and the woman in the middle. 10 Jesus having stood up [[and seeing no one but the woman]][fn] and said to {her, “Woman,}[fn] where are {they}?[fn] Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said [[to him]],[fn] “No one, Lord.” And {Jesus}[fn] said [[to her]],[fn] “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]][fn]

Continuation from John 7:52

12 [Again][fn] Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.”

14 Jesus [answered and][fn] said to them, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; [but][fn] you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

15 “You judge according to the flesh; [[but]][fn] I judge no one. 16 [And][fn] if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I and the {Father}[fn] who sent me.

17 “[And][fn] In your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.[fn] 18 I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”

19 They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered [[and said]][fn] [[to him]],[fn] “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know {my}[fn] Father also.”

20 These words {he}[fn] spoke in the treasury [teaching in the temple];[fn] but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

21 So {he}[fn] said to them [again],[fn] “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

23 And he was saying to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 [Therefore][fn] I told you [that][fn] you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me [[the Father]][fn] is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.”

27 They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father [[, the God]].[fn] 28 Therefore, Jesus said [to them][fn] [[again]][fn] [[that]],[fn] “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 {the Father}[fn] taught me, I speak these things. 29 And the one who sent me is with me; {he}[fn] has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”

30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

31 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you remain in my word, truly you are [my][fn] disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

33 {They}[fn] answered him [[and said]],[fn] “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say [that][fn] we will become free?” 34 Jesus answered [them],[fn] “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave [to sin].[fn] 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 [So][fn] If the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37 “I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 What I have seen with {the}[fn] Father, I speak [[these things]];[fn] and therefore, what you have {heard}[fn] from {the}[fn] father, do [[these things]].”[fn]

39 [[Therefore]][fn] They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus says [to them],[fn] “If you {are}[fn] children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.”

41 [[But]][fn] You do the works of your father. They said [then][fn] to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality; we have one father, God.”

42 [[Therefore]][fn] Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I {came}[fn] forth from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

43 “{Why do you not understand what I say? Because}[fn] you are unable to hear my word. 44 You are of [your father][fn] the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and {does not stand}[fn] in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth [[to you]],[fn] you do not believe me.

46 “[Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?][fn] 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. {The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God}.”[fn]

48 [[Therefore]][fn] The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

49 Jesus answered [[and said]],[fn] “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it; [and][fn] he is the judge.

51 Truly, truly, I say to you, {if anyone}[fn] keeps my word, he will certainly not see death into the age.”[fn]

52 The Jews [therefore][fn] said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death into the age.’ 53 Are you greater than [our father][fn] Abraham, {who}[fn] died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”

54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is {our}[fn] God.’ 55 Yet you have not known him, but I know him. If I were to {say}[fn] that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word.

56 “Abraham your father rejoiced to {see}[fn] my day, and he saw it and was glad.”

57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and Abraham {has}[fn] seen you?”

58 [[Therefore]][fn] Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham [was],[fn] I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him; [but][fn] Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple [[going through the midst of them, and so passed by]].[fn]

9 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth [[sitting]].[fn] 2 And his disciples asked him, [saying,][fn] “Rabbi, who sinned, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?”

3 Jesus answered [[and he said to them]],[fn] “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but so that the works of God might be revealed in him.

4 “We[fn] must work the works of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

5 “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud from the saliva and [he][fn] smeared [the mud][fn] on his eyes [[of the blind man]].[fn] 7 And he said [to him],[fn] “Go, [wash][fn] in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went [and washed and came back][fn] seeing.

8 Then {the}[fn] neighbors and those who had seen him before as a {beggar}[fn] said, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said [that],[fn] “This is he,” {others said, “No, but}[fn] he is like him.” [[But]][fn] He said [that],[fn] “I am.”

10 [So][fn] {They}[fn] said to him [then],[fn] “How then were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered [[and said]],[fn] “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to [[the pool of]][fn] Siloam and wash’; so I went and {washed and received my sight}.”[fn]

12 {And}[fn] they said to him, “Where is he?” He says [[to them]][fn] “I do not know.”

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 It was the Sabbath [on the day][fn] when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” [But][fn] Others said, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they said to the [[once]][fn] blind man again, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

18 [So][fn] The Jews did not believe [that he had been blind and had received his sight][fn] until they called the parents [[of him]][fn] [of the one who had received his sight][fn] 19 and asked them, [saying][fn] “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How [then][fn] does he now see?”

20 [So][fn] [[To them]][fn] His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind; 21 but how he [now][fn] sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. [Ask him;][fn] He is of age. [He will speak for himself.]”[fn]

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess him as Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. 23 Because of this, his parents said, [that][fn] “He is of age, ask him.”

24 So for the second time they called {the man}[fn] who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

25 So he answered [[and said]],[fn] “Whether he is a sinner I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

26 [Therefore][fn] They said to him [[again]],[fn] “What did he do to you? [[And]][fn] How did he open your eyes?”

27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you [[therefore]][fn] also want to become his disciples?”

28 [And][fn] They reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 [[But]][fn] We know that God has spoken to Moses [[, and that God does not listen to sinners]];[fn] but we do not know where this man is from.”

30 [[But]][fn] The man answered and said [to them]],[fn] “{For this is the astonishing thing},[fn] that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 [[But]][fn] We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.

35 [[But]][fn] Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he found him, he said [[to him]],[fn] “Do you believe in the Son of {Man}?”[fn] 36 [He answered][fn] [and said,][fn] “Who is {the Lord,}[fn] that I may believe in him?” 37 [[But]][fn] Jesus {said}[fn] to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who is talking with you.” 38 [Then he said, “I believe, Lord,” and he worshiped[fn] him. 39 And Jesus said,][fn] “I came into this world for judgment, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”

40 [[And]][fn] The ones with him, having heard [these things][fn] from the Pharisees, said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus [[therefore]][fn] said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ [[And]][fn] [[Therefore]][fn] Your sins remain.”

10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the door into the sheepfold but climbing up from elsewhere, that one is a thief and a robber; 2 But the one who enters through the door, he is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear the voice of that one, and that one {calls}[fn] the sheep by name and leads them out. 4 [[And]][fn] When he has brought out {[all][fn] his own},[fn] he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice; 5 but they will {not}[fn] follow a stranger, but will flee from the stranger because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what [it was][fn] that he was saying to them.

7 [So][fn] Jesus said [again][fn] [[to them,]][fn] “Truly, truly, [For][fn] I say to you, [that][fn] I am the door of the sheep. 8 {All}[fn] who came [before me][fn] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door; if anyone enters through me, they will be saved and will go in [and go out][fn] and find pasture.

10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; [[But]][fn] I came that they may have [[eternal]][fn] life [and have it abundantly].[fn]

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep; 12 [[But]][fn] The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf [coming][fn] and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf snatches them and scatters them [[the sheep]];[fn] 13 [[But the hired hand flees]][fn] because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 “And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must {lead}[fn] them also, and they will listen to my voice, and there will become one flock, one shepherd.

17 “For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.

18 “No one takes it from me [but I lay it down of my own accord].[fn] I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to {recieve}[fn] it again; this command I received from {my}[fn] Father.”

19 [[Therefore]][fn] A division [again][fn] occured among the Jews because of these words. 20 {But}[fn] many of them said, [[that]][fn] “He has a demon and is insane; why do you listen to him?” 21 [[But]][fn] Others said, “These are not the words of one who is demon-possessed; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

22 {Then}[fn] the Feast of Dedication[fn] took place in Jerusalem. [[And]][fn] It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ,[fn] tell us plainly.”

25 Jesus answered [them],[fn] “I told you, and you do not believe [[me]];[fn] the works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me; 26 but you do not believe because you are not of my sheep [[as I said to you]].[fn] 27 [[Because]][fn] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; 28 and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 “{My}[fn] Father, who has given [me][fn] everything, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch anything from {the}[fn] Father's hand.”

30 “I and {the}[fn] Father are one.”

31 [[So]][fn] [Again][fn] The Jews picked up stones to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many [good][fn] works from {the}[fn] Father; [[therefore]][fn] for which of them are you going to stone me?”

33 The Jews answered him [[saying]],[fn] “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”[fn]

34 Jesus answered them [[and said]],[fn] “Is it not written in [[the Scripture,]][fn] {your}[fn] law, [that][fn] ‘I said, you are gods’?[fn]

35 “If he called them gods [to whom the word of God came],[fn] and it cannot be broken, [the Scripture,][fn] 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’[fn] because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

37 “If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not [[want to]][fn] believe me, believe the works, that you may {know}[fn] [and understand][fn] that the Father is in me and I am in {the Father}.”[fn]

39 [Therefore][fn] They sought [again][fn] to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

40 He went away [again][fn] across the Jordan [to the place][fn] where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him and they said, [that][fn] “John did no sign, but everything that {John}[fn] said about this man was true.” 42 {And}[fn] many believed in him [there].[fn]

11 Now there was a certain man who was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister [Martha].[fn] 2 {It was}[fn] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, [[and}][fn] whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 So {the sisters}[fn] sent to him, saying, “Lord, the one whom you love is sick.”

4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “{This}[fn] sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of [[his]][fn] God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that he was sick, {he}[fn] stayed in the place where he was for two days.

7 Then after this he says [to {the}[fn] disciples],[fn] “Let us go into Judea [again].”[fn] 8 {The}[fn] disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”

9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, they do not stumble, because they see the light of this world; 10 but if anyone walks in the night, they stumble, because the light is not in them.” 11 These things he said, and after this he says to them, “Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may awaken him.”

12 So his disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved.”[fn]

13 Now Jesus had spoken about his {death},[fn] but they thought [that][fn] he was speaking about the rest of sleep.

14 [Then][fn] Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus [[our friend]][fn] has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to {the}[fn] fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”

17 When Jesus arrived [[in Bethany]],[fn] he found that Lazarus had [already][fn] been in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.

19 And many of the Jews had come to [[those around]][fn] Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.

20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in {the}[fn] house.

21 Martha said to {Jesus},[fn] “[Lord,][fn] If you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 [But][fn] Even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”

23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha says to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

25 [[So]][fn] Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection [and the life].[fn] Whoever believes in me, though they die, shall live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes [in me] shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She says to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ,[fn] the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”

28 And having said {this},[fn] she went away and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, [[that]][fn] “The teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 [But][fn] When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come {into}[fn] the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

31 So when the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, {thinking highly of her}[fn] that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32 Then Mary, when she came to where Jesus was and saw him, fell {at}[fn] his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”

35 Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?”

38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus says, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone [[from where the dead man was lying]].[fn] And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.”

43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what {he}[fn] did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you {consider}[fn] that it is to {your}[fn] advantage that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

53 From that day on, they plotted [[together]][fn] to kill him. 54 Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he {stayed}[fn] with his disciples.

55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the region before the Passover to purify themselves. 56 So they were looking for Jesus and said to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?” 57 {But}[fn] the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it, so that they might seize him.

12 Therefore, Jesus came to Bethany six days before the Passover, where Lazarus was [[who had been dead]],[fn] whom Jesus[fn] had raised from the dead. 2 They made a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining with him.

3 Then Mary, taking a pound of very costly pure nard perfume, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4 But Judas Iscariot [[son of Simon]],[fn] one {of}[fn] his disciples, the one who was going to betray him, says, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief and, having the money box, he used to take what was put into it.

7 Jesus therefore said, “Leave her alone, {so that she may keep it}[fn] for the day of my burial; 8 for you always have the poor [with you, but you do not always have me].” [fn]

9 A large crowd of the Jews then knew that he was there, and they came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

12 On the next day, the large crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and they cried out, “Hosanna! {Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, and the king of Israel}.”[fn]

14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written, 15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt.”[fn]

16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done these things to him.

17 So the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. 18 For this reason the crowd [also][fn] met him, because they heard that he had performed this sign.

19 The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.”

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, {Andrew and Philip come and they tell Jesus}.[fn]

23 And Jesus answers them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25 “The one who loves his life {destroys it},[fn] and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26 “If anyone serves me, they must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them.

27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 {Father, glorify your name}.”[fn] Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine.

31 “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

34 The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is {among}[fn] you for a little while longer. Walk {while}[fn] you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; and the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 {While}[fn] you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and going away, he hid himself from them.

37 Although he had performed so many signs before them, they did not believe in him, 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” [fn]

39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said, 40 “Their eyes have been blinded and their heart has been hardened, so that they may not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”[fn]

41 Isaiah said these things {because}[fn] he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.

42 Nevertheless, many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me, 45 and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.

46 “I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.

47 “And if anyone hears my words and does not {keep them},[fn] I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, just as the Father has told me, thus I speak.”

13 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 And {during}[fn] supper, the devil having already put into the heart that Judas Simon Iscariot should betray him,

3 [[Jesus]][fn] knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and taking a towel, girded himself. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

6 So he comes to Simon Peter; he says to him, “Lord, are you washing my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”

8 Peter says to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.” 9 Simon Peter says to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.”

10 “The one who has bathed {does not need to wash, except for his feet},[fn] but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all.” 11 For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, {and sat down}[fn] again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, you also should do.

16 “Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is an apostle greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18 “I do not speak concerning all of you; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats my bread [[with me]][fn] has lifted up his heel against me.’[fn]

19 “From now on I tell you before it happens, so that you may believe when it happens that I am. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 The disciples were looking at one another, perplexed about whom he was speaking.

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at the table at Jesus' side. 24 So Simon Peter signals to this one to find out who it might be about whom he is speaking. 25 Leaning back against Jesus' chest, he says to him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is the one {to whom I will give the piece of bread after I have dipped it}.”[fn] So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to {Judas, son of Simon Iscariot}.[fn] 27 And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. So Jesus says to him, “What you are doing, do quickly.”

28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 For some thought, since Judas had the money box, that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or to give something to the poor. 30 So, having received the morsel, he immediately went out. And it was night.

31 Therefore, when he went out, Jesus says, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him; 32 {if God has been glorified in him,}[fn] and God will glorify him in himself, and will glorify him at once.

33 “Little children, I am with you a little while longer; you will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ I say to you now.

34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

36 Simon Peter says to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered [him],[fn] “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.” 37 Peter says to him, “Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will {not}[fn] crow until you have denied me three times.

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled; believe in God and believe in me. 2 In my Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, {would I have told you that I go}[fn] to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also. 4 {And you know the way to the place where I am going}.”[fn]

5 Thomas says to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus says to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip says to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus says to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 “Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me {does his}[fn] works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe [[me]][fn] because of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to {the}[fn] Father.

13 “And whatever you ask [[the Father]][fn] in my name, I will do this, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 [“If you ask anything [of me][fn] in my name, {I will do it}.[fn]][fn]

15 “If you love me, [you will][fn] keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[fn] so that it[fn] may be with you forever, 17 the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither sees it nor knows it; you know it, because it remains with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19 “Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

21 “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

22 Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,[fn] which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have said to you.

27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because [[I said]][fn] I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

29 “And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

30 “I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has {commanded me},[fn] so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.”

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

3 “You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you;

4 “Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

6 “If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 “If you abide in me and my words abide in you, {ask}[fn] whatever you wish, and it will be done [for you].[fn]

8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and [[so shall you]][fn] become my disciples.

9 “Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

10 “If you keep my commandments, you will {abide}[fn] in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may {be}[fn] in you, and that your joy may be full.

12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 “No one has greater love than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14 “You are my friends if you do {what}[fn] I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

17 “These things I command you, that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me first before [you].[fn]

19 “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

20 “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

22 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

24 “If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’[fn]

26 “When the Advocate[fn] comes, which I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit[fn] of truth that proceeds from the Father, that one will bear witness about me; 27 and you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.”

16 “I have spoken these things to you so that you may not be caused to stumble.

2 “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue; but an hour is coming when everyone who kills [you][fn] will think they are offering service to God. 3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 But I have spoken these things to you, so that when {their}[fn] time comes, you may remember [them],[fn] that I told you. But I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 “But now I am going to the one who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate[fn] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send it[fn] to you.

8 “And when that one comes, it will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to {the}[fn] Father and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when that one, the Spirit of truth, comes, it[fn] will guide you into all truth; for it will not speak on its own, but whatever it hears, it will speak, and it will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 That one will glorify me, because it will take from what is mine and declare it to you.

15 “All that the Father has is mine; for this reason I said that {it takes}[fn] from what is mine and will declare it to you.

16 “A little while, and you will see me {no longer};[fn] and again a little while, and you will see me [[because I go to the Father]].”[fn]

17 So some of the disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’; and, ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” 18 They were saying, “What is this [that he says] ‘the little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.”

19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’?

20 “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.

21 “When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a person has been born into the world.

22 “So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

23 “And on that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly I say to you, {if}[fn] you ask the Father for anything {in my name, he will give it to you}.[fn] 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26 “In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from {God}.[fn]

28 “[I came forth {from}[fn] the Father][fn] And I have come into the world; Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples say [[to him]],[fn] “See, now you speak plainly and not using any parables. 30 Now we know that you know everything and do not need anyone to question you; in this we believe that you came from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has [[now]][fn] come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace; in the world {you have}[fn] tribulation; but take courage, I have overcome the world.”

17 Jesus spoke these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that {the}[fn] Son [[also]][fn] may glorify you, 2 just as you have given him authority over all flesh, so that he may give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and the one whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.[fn]

4 “I have glorified you on the earth, {having}[fn] finished the work which you have given me to do; 5 And now, glorify me, Father, with yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.[fn]

6 “I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which you have given to me are from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

9 “I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 “And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.

12 “When I was with them [[in the world]],[fn] I kept them in your name, which you have given me, and I guarded them, and none of them perished except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, [just as I am not of the world].[fn]

15 “I am not asking that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in {the}[fn] truth; your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “Not concerning these only do I ask, but also concerning those who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be [[one]][fn] in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

22 “The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, just as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

18 After saying these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, the one betraying him, also knew the place, because Jesus had often gathered there with his disciples.

3 So Judas, having taken the cohort and servants from the chief priests and [from the][fn] Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 Therefore, Jesus, knowing all the things coming upon him, went out and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” {He}[fn] says to them, “{I am}.”[fn] Now Judas, the one betraying him, was also standing with them. 6 When he said to them, “I am,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

7 Again he asked them, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am. So if you are seeking me, let these others go,” 9 in order to fulfill the word he had spoken, “Of those you have given me, I have not lost any of them.”

10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

12 So the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. 13 They led him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better for one man to die on behalf of the people.

15 Simon Peter and {another}[fn] disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

16 But Peter was standing outside at the door. So the other disciple, {who was}[fn] known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in. 17 The servant girl at the door says to Peter, “Are you also one of this man's disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.

19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you {ask}[fn] me? {Ask} those who have heard what I said to them; they know what I said.”

22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike me?”

24 [So][fn] Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.[fn]

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” 27 Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

28 So they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters; it was early morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters, so that they would not be defiled but could eat the Passover. 29 Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring [against][fn] this man?”

30 They answered and said to him, “If this one were not {doing evil},[fn] we would not have handed him over to you.” 31 Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke signifying what kind of death he was going to die.

33 Pilate entered the headquarters again, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered [[him]],[fn] “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others tell you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?”

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought [then] so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from here.”

37 Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”

38 Pilate says to him, “What is truth?” And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, saying, “Not this one, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and wrapped him in a purple robe. 3 [And they came up to him,][fn] and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.

4 Pilate went out again and says to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”

5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate says to them, “{Behold}[fn] the man!”

6 So when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out [saying],[fn] “Crucify, crucify [[him]].”[fn] Pilate said to them, “You take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to {that}[fn] law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.”

8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid, 9 and he entered the governor's headquarters again and says to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate says to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to {release}[fn] you and authority to crucify[fn] you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”

13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He says to the Jews, “Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”

16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus [[and led him away]],[fn] 17 and he went out, bearing his [own][fn] cross, he went out to the place called Skull Place, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew.[fn] 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, {in Latin, and in Greek}.[fn]

21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’ ” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture [which says],[fn] “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.”[fn] So the soldiers did these things.

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

26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he says to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, says (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”[fn] 29 A vessel full of sour wine was lying there; so they {put a sponge full of the sour wine on hyssop}[fn] and brought it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 So the Jews, since it was the day of Preparation, in order not to leave the bodies on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), asked Pilate to have their legs broken and removed. 32 The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, 34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 And the one who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you [also][fn] {may believe}.[fn] 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of his will be broken.”[fn] 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they pierced.”[fn]

38 After these things, Joseph from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body [of Jesus];[fn] and Pilate allowed it. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also came, the one who had first come to {him}[fn] at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews for burial.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

20 On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came early, while it was still dark, to the tomb and saw the stone removed from [[the door of]][fn] the tomb. 2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and says to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

3 So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.

4 The two were running together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb, 5 and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6 So Simon Peter [also][fn] comes, following him, and went into the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.

8 Then the other disciple, who had come first to the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for they did not yet understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

11 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 And they say to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She says to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”

14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, thinking that he was the gardener, says to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

16 Jesus says to her, “Mary.” She turns and says to him [in Hebrew],[fn] “Rabboni,” which means Teacher.

17 Jesus says to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to {the}[fn] Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.’ ”

18 Mary Magdalene came, {announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord},”[fn] and that he had said these things to her.

19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were [[assembled]][fn] for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21 Then [Jesus][fn] said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And having said this, he breathed on them and says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit;[fn]

23 “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he says to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”[fn] 29 Jesus says to him, “Have you believed [[Thomas]][fn] because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of {the}[fn] disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,[fn] the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

21 After this, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias;[fn] and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter says to them, “I am going fishing.” They say to him, “We are coming with you as well.” They went out and got into the boat [[immediately]],[fn] and that night they caught nothing. 4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Jesus says to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.

7 Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was naked, and threw himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net of fish.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 [So][fn] Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.

12 Jesus says to them, “Come and have breakfast.” [But][fn] no one of the disciples dared to question him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.

13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.

14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John,[fn] do you love me more than these?” He says to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”

16 He says to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John,[fn] do you love me?” He says to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He says to him, “Shepherd my sheep.”

17 He says to him the third time, “Simon, son of John,[fn] do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he says to him, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” He says to him [Jesus], “Tend my sheep.”

18 “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 This he said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, “Follow me.”

20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved [following],[fn] the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 [When][fn] Peter saw him, he says to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus says to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”

23 So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, [what is that to you]?”[fn]

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

25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I do not think the world itself could contain the books that would be written. [[Amen]][fn]
