was
God.

was
in

with

were
made
through

Without

nothing

it.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}There
came
a
man
sent
from
God,
whose
name
was
John.
\VS{7}The
same
came
as
a
witness,
that
he
might
testify
about
the
light,
that
all
might
believe
through
him.
\VS{8}He
was
not
the
light,
but
was sent
that
he might
testify
about
the
light.
\VS{9}The
true
light
that
enlightens
everyone
was
coming
into
the
world.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}He
was
in
the
world,
and
the
world
was
made
through
him,
and
the
world
didn’t
recognize
him.
\VS{11}He
came
to
his
own,
and
those
who
were
his
own
didn’t
receive
him.
\VS{12}But
as
many
as
received
him,
to
them
he
gave
the
right
to
become
God’s
children,
to
those
who
believe
in
his
name:
\VS{13}who
were
born,
not
of
blood,
nor
of
the
will
of
the
flesh,
nor
of
the
will
of
man,
but
of
God.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}The
Word
became
flesh
and lived
among
us.
We
saw
his
glory, such
glory
as
of
the
only
born\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:14 }
The phrase “only born” is from the Greek word “μονογενους”, which is sometimes translated “only begotten” or “one and only”.} Son
of
the
Father,
full
of
grace
and
truth.
\VS{15}John
testified
about
him.
He
cried
out,
saying, “This
was
he
of
whom
I
said, ‘He
who
comes
after
me
has surpassed
me,
for
he
was
before
me.’ ”
\VS{16}From
his
fullness
we
all
received
grace
upon
grace.
\VS{17}For
the
law
was
given
through
Moses.
Grace
and
truth
were
realized
through
Jesus
Christ.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:17 }
“Christ” means “Anointed One”.}
\VS{18}No
one
has
seen
God
at
any
time.
The
only born\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:18 }
The phrase “only born” is from the Greek word “μονογενη”, which is sometimes translated “only begotten” or “one and only”.}
Son,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:18 }
NU reads “God”}
who
is
in
the
bosom
of
the
Father,
has declared
him.
\par }{\PP \VS{19}This
is
John’s
testimony,
when
the
Jews
sent
priests
and
Levites
from
Jerusalem
to
ask
him, “Who
are
you?”
\par }{\PP \VS{20}He declared,
and
didn’t
deny,
but
he declared, “I
am
not
the
Christ.”
\par }{\PP \VS{21}They
asked
him, “What
then?
Are
you
Elijah?”
\par }{\PP He
said, “I
am
not.”
\par }{\PP “Are
you
the
prophet?”
\par }{\PP He
answered, “No.”
\par }{\PP \VS{22}They
said
therefore
to
him, “Who
are
you?
Give
us
an
answer
to take
back
to
those
who
sent
us.
What
do
you
say
about
yourself?”
\par }{\PP \VS{23}He
said, “I
am
the
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness, ‘Make
straight
the
way
of
the
Lord,’\XREF{✡}{{\XO 1:23 }
Isaiah 40:3}
as
Isaiah
the
prophet
said.”
\par }{\PP \VS{24}The ones
who
had
been
sent
were
from
the
Pharisees.
\VS{25}They
asked
him, “Why
then
do
you
baptize
if
you
are
not
the
Christ,
nor
Elijah,
nor
the
prophet?”
\par }{\PP \VS{26}John
answered
them, “I
baptize
in
water,
but
among
you
stands
one
whom
you
don’t
know.
\VS{27}He
is
the
one
who
comes
after
me,
who
is preferred
before
me,
whose
sandal strap I’m
not
worthy
to loosen.”
\VS{28}These
things
were
done
in
Bethany
beyond
the
Jordan,
where
John
was
baptizing.
\par }{\PP \VS{29}The
next
day,
he
saw
Jesus
coming
to
him,
and
said, “Behold,\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:29 }
“Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.}
the
Lamb
of
God,
who
takes
away
the
sin
of
the
world!
\VS{30}This
is
he
of
whom
I
said, ‘After
me
comes
a
man
who
is preferred
before
me,
for
he
was
before
me.’
\VS{31}I
didn’t
know
him,
but
for
this
reason
I
came
baptizing
in
water,
that
he
would
be
revealed
to
Israel.”
\VS{32}John
testified,
saying, “I
have
seen
the
Spirit
descending
like
a
dove
out
of
heaven,
and
it
remained
on
him.
\VS{33}I
didn’t
recognize
him,
but
he
who
sent
me
to
baptize
in
water
said
to
me, ‘On
whomever
you
will
see
the
Spirit
descending
and
remaining
on
him
is
he
who
baptizes
in
the
Holy
Spirit.’
\VS{34}I
have
seen
and
have
testified
that
this
is
the
Son
of
God.”
\par }{\PP \VS{35}Again,
the
next
day,
John
was
standing
with
two
of
his
disciples,
\VS{36}and
he
looked
at
Jesus
as
he
walked,
and
said, “Behold,
the
Lamb
of
God!”
\VS{37}The
two
disciples
heard
him
speak,
and
they
followed
Jesus.
\VS{38}Jesus
turned
and
saw
them
following,
and
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“What
are
you
looking
for?”}}
\par }{\PP They
said
to
him, “Rabbi” (which
is
to
say, being interpreted,
Teacher), “where
are
you
staying?”
\par }{\PP \VS{39}He
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Come
and
see.”}}
\par }{\PP They
came
and
saw
where
he
was
staying,
and
they
stayed
with
him
that
day.
It
was
about
the
tenth
hour.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:39 }
4:00 p.m.}
\VS{40}One
of
the
two
who
heard
John
and
followed
him
was
Andrew,
Simon
Peter’s
brother.
\VS{41}He
first
found
his
own
brother,
Simon,
and
said
to
him, “We
have
found
the
Messiah!” (which
is,
being interpreted,
Christ\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:41 }
“Messiah” (Hebrew) and “Christ” (Greek) both mean “Anointed One”.}).
\VS{42}He
brought
him
to
Jesus.
Jesus
looked
at
him
and
said,
{\WJ{“You
are
Simon
the
son
of Jonah.
You
shall
be
called
Cephas”}} (which
is
by interpretation,
Peter).\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:42 }
“Cephas” (Aramaic) and “Peter” (Greek) both mean “Rock”.}
\par }{\PP \VS{43}On
the
next
day,
he
was determined
to
go
out
into
Galilee,
and
he
found
Philip.
Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Follow
me.”}}
\VS{44}Now
Philip
was
from
Bethsaida,
the
city
of
Andrew
and
Peter.
\VS{45}Philip
found
Nathanael,
and
said
to
him, “We
have
found
him
of
whom
Moses
in
the
law
and
also
the
prophets,
wrote:
Jesus
of
Nazareth,
the
son
of
Joseph.”
\par }{\PP \VS{46}Nathanael
said
to
him, “Can
any
good
thing
come
out
of
Nazareth?”
\par }{\PP Philip
said
to
him, “Come
and
see.”
\par }{\PP \VS{47}Jesus
saw
Nathanael
coming
to
him,
and
said
about
him,
{\WJ{“Behold,
an
Israelite
indeed,
in
whom
is no
deceit!”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{48}Nathanael
said
to
him, “How
do
you
know
me?”
\par }{\PP Jesus
answered
him,
{\WJ{“Before
Philip
called
you,
when
you
were
under
the
fig
tree,
I
saw
you.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{49}Nathanael
answered
him, “Rabbi,
you
are
the
Son
of
God!
You
are
King
of
Israel!”
\par }{\PP \VS{50}Jesus
answered
him,
{\WJ{“Because
I
told
you, ‘I
saw
you
underneath
the
fig
tree,’
do
you
believe?
You
will
see
greater
things
than
these!”}}
\VS{51}He
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Most
certainly,
I
tell
you
all, hereafter
you
will
see
heaven
opened,
and
the
angels
of
God
ascending
and
descending
on
the
Son
of
Man.”}}

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
third
day,
there
was
a
wedding
in
Cana
of
Galilee.
Jesus’
mother
was
there.
\VS{2}Jesus
also
was
invited,
with
his
disciples,
to
the
wedding.
\VS{3}When
the
wine
ran
out,
Jesus’
mother
said
to
him, “They
have
no
wine.”
\par }{\PP \VS{4}Jesus
said
to
her,
{\WJ{“Woman,
what
does
that
have
to
do
with
you
and
me?
My
hour
has
not
yet
come.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{5}His
mother
said
to
the
servants, “Whatever
he
says
to
you,
do
it.”
\par }{\PP \VS{6}Now
there
were
six water pots
of
stone
set
there
after
the Jews’
way
of purifying,
containing
two
or
three metretes\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:6 }
2 to 3 metretes is about 20 to 30 U. S. Gallons, or 75 to 115 liters.}
apiece.
\VS{7}Jesus
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Fill
the
water pots
with
water.”}}
So
they
filled
them
up
to
the
brim.
\VS{8}He
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Now
draw
some out,
and
take
it
to
the ruler
of
the feast.”}}
So
they
took
it.
\VS{9}When
the ruler
of
the feast
tasted
the
water
now
become
wine,
and
didn’t
know
where
it
came
from (but
the
servants
who
had
drawn
the
water
knew),
the ruler
of
the feast
called
the
bridegroom
\VS{10}and
said
to
him, “Everyone
serves
the
good
wine
first,
and
when
the guests
have
drunk
freely,
then
that
which
is worse.
You
have
kept
the
good
wine
until
now!”
\VS{11}This
beginning
of
his
signs
Jesus
did
in
Cana
of
Galilee,
and
revealed
his
glory;
and
his
disciples
believed
in
him.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}After
this,
he
went
down
to
Capernaum,
he,
and
his
mother,
his
brothers,
and
his
disciples;
and
they
stayed
there
a few
days.
\par }{\PP \VS{13}The
Passover
of
the
Jews
was
at hand,
and
Jesus
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{14}He
found
in
the
temple
those
who
sold
oxen,
sheep,
and
doves,
and
the
changers
of
money
sitting.
\VS{15}He
made
a whip
of
cords
and
drove
all
out
of
the
temple,
both
the
sheep
and
the
oxen;
and
he poured
out
the changers’ money
and overthrew
their
tables.
\VS{16}To
those
who
sold
the
doves,
he
said,
{\WJ{“Take
these
things
out
of
here!
Don’t
make
my
Father’s
house
a marketplace!”}}
\VS{17}His
disciples
remembered
that
it
was
written, “Zeal
for
your
house
will
eat
me up.”\XREF{✡}{{\XO 2:17 }
Psalm 69:9}
\par }{\PP \VS{18}The
Jews
therefore
answered
him, “What
sign
do
you
show
us, seeing
that
you
do
these
things?”
\par }{\PP \VS{19}Jesus
answered
them,
{\WJ{“Destroy
this
temple,
and
in
three
days
I
will
raise
it
up.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{20}The
Jews
therefore
said, “It took forty-six
years
to
build
this
temple!
Will
you
raise
it
up
in
three
days?”
\VS{21}But
he
spoke
of
the
temple
of
his
body.
\VS{22}When
therefore
he
was
raised
from
the
dead,
his
disciples
remembered
that
he
said
this,
and
they
believed
the
Scripture
and
the
word
which
Jesus
had
said.
\par }{\PP \VS{23}Now
when
he
was
in
Jerusalem
at
the
Passover,
during
the
feast,
many
believed
in
his
name,
observing
his
signs
which
he
did.
\VS{24}But
Jesus
didn’t
entrust
himself
to
them,
because
he
knew
everyone,
\VS{25}and
because
he
didn’t
need
for
anyone
to
testify
concerning
man;
for
he
himself
knew
what
was
in
man.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
there
was
a
man
of
the
Pharisees
named
Nicodemus,
a
ruler
of
the
Jews.
\VS{2}He
came
to
Jesus
by
night
and
said
to
him, “Rabbi,
we

that

is
born anew,

these

Jesus
came
with
his

into

land
of

He
stayed
there
with

baptized.

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

John
was
not
yet
thrown
into
prison.

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

came
to

said
to

when
the Lord

making

baptizing
more

\VS{2}(although

\VS{3}he
left

came

then,
his

came.
They
marveled
that

was
speaking
with
a
woman;
yet
no
one
said, “What
are
you
looking
for?”
or, “Why
do

speak
with

\VS{28}So
the

left

went
away
into

said
to
the
people,
\VS{29}“Come,
see
a

who
told
me
everything
that

Can
this
be

\VS{30}They
went
out
of
the

and
were
coming
to
him.
\par }{\PP \VS{31}In
the
meanwhile,
the

him,
saying, “Rabbi,

he
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“I
have

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

said
to
them,
{\WJ{“My

\par }{\PP \VS{39}From
that
city
many
of
the
Samaritans
believed
in
him
because
of
the
word
of
the
woman,
who
testified, “He
told
me
everything
that
I
have
done.”
\VS{40}So
when
the
Samaritans
came
to
him,
they
begged
him
to
stay
with
them.
He
stayed
there
two
days.
\VS{41}Many
more
believed
because
of
his
word.
\VS{42}They
said
to
the
woman, “Now
we
believe,
not
because
of
your
speaking;
for
we
have
heard
for
ourselves,
and
know
that
this
is
indeed
the
Christ,
the
Savior
of
the
world.”
\par }{\PP \VS{43}After
the
two
days
he
went
out
from
there
and
went
into
Galilee.
\VS{44}For
Jesus
himself
testified
that
a
prophet
has
no
honor
in
his
own
country.
\VS{45}So
when
he
came
into
Galilee,
the
Galileans
received
him,
having
seen
all
the
things
that
he
did
in
Jerusalem
at
the
feast,
for
they
also
went
to
the
feast.
\VS{46}Jesus
came
therefore
again
to
Cana
of
Galilee,
where
he
made
the
water
into
wine.
There
was
a certain nobleman
whose
son
was
sick
at
Capernaum.
\VS{47}When
he
heard
that
Jesus
had
come
out
of
Judea
into
Galilee,
he
went
to
him
and
begged
him
that
he
would
come
down
and
heal
his
son,
for
he
was
at
the
point
of
death.
\VS{48}Jesus
therefore
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Unless
you
see
signs
and
wonders,
you
will
in
no
way
believe.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{49}The nobleman
said
to
him, “Sir,
come
down
before
my
child
dies.”
\par }{\PP \VS{50}Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Go
your
way.
Your
son
lives.”}}
The
man
believed
the
word
that
Jesus
spoke
to
him,
and
he
went
his
way.
\VS{51}As
he
was
going
down,
his
servants
met
him
and
reported,
saying “Your
child
lives!”
\VS{52}So
he
inquired
of
them
the
hour
when
he began
to
get
better.
They
said
therefore
to
him, “Yesterday
at
the
seventh
hour,\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:52 }
1:00 p.m.}
the
fever
left
him.”
\VS{53}So
the
father
knew
that
it
was
at
that
hour
in
which
Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Your
son
lives.”}}
He
believed,
as
did
his
whole
house.
\VS{54}This
is
again
the
second
sign
that
Jesus
did,
having
come
out
of
Judea
into
Galilee.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things,
there
was
a
feast
of
the
Jews,
and
Jesus
went
up
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}Now
in
Jerusalem
by
the
sheep gate,
there
is
a
pool,
which
is
called
in
Hebrew, “Bethesda”,
having
five porches.
\VS{3}In
these
lay
a
great
multitude
of
those
who
were
sick,
blind,
lame,
or paralyzed, waiting
for
the moving
of
the water;
\VS{4}for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 5:4 }
NU omits from “waiting” in verse 3 to the end of verse 4.}
\VS{5}A

man
was
there
who
had
been
sick
for thirty-eight
years.
\VS{6}When

saw
him
lying
there,
and
knew
that
he
had
been
sick
for
a
long
time,
he
asked
him,
{\WJ{“Do

want
to
be
made

sick
man
answered
him, “Sir,

have

to
put
me
into
the
pool
when
the
water
is
stirred
up,
but
while I’m
coming,
another
steps
down
before
me.”
\par }{\PP \VS{8}Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Arise,
take
up
your
mat,
and
walk.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{9}Immediately,
the
man
was
made
well,
and
took
up
his
mat
and
walked.
\par }{\PP Now
that
day
was
a
Sabbath.
\VS{10}So
the
Jews
said
to
him
who
was
cured, “It
is
the
Sabbath.
It
is
not
lawful
for
you
to
carry
the
mat.”
\par }{\PP \VS{11}He
answered
them, “He
who
made
me
well
said
to
me,
{\WJ{‘Take

asked
him, “Who

who
said
to
you,
{\WJ{‘Take
up

he
who
was
healed
didn’t
know
who
it
was,
for
Jesus
had withdrawn,
a
crowd
being
in
the
place.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}Afterward
Jesus
found
him
in
the
temple
and
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Behold,
you
are
made
well.
Sin
no
more,
so
that
nothing
worse
happens
to

\par }{\PP \VS{15}The
man
went
away,
and
told
the
Jews
that
it
was
Jesus
who
had
made
him
well.
\VS{16}For
this
cause
the
Jews
persecuted
Jesus
and sought
to kill
him,
because
he
did
these
things
on
the
Sabbath.
\VS{17}But
Jesus
answered
them,
{\WJ{“My

is
still working,
so
I
am working, too.”}}

therefore
the

sought
all

to
kill
him,

he
not

broke
the
Sabbath,

also
called
God
his
own
Father,
making
himself
equal
with
God.

answered

to
Philip,
{\WJ{“Where

that

eat?”}}
\VS{6}He
said
this
to
test
him,
for
he
himself
knew
what
he
would
do.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}Philip
answered
him, “Two
hundred

A denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wages for an agricultural laborer, so 200 denarii would be between 6 and 7 month’s pay.}

of
bread
is
not
sufficient
for
them,
that
every
one
of
them
may
receive
a
little.”
\par }{\PP \VS{8}One
of
his
disciples,
Andrew,
Simon
Peter’s
brother,
said
to
him,
\VS{9}“There
is
a boy
here
who
has
five
barley
loaves
and
two
fish,
but
what
are
these
among
so
many?”
\par }{\PP \VS{10}Jesus
said,
{\WJ{“Have
the
people
sit
down.”}}
Now
there
was
much
grass
in
that
place.
So
the
men
sat
down,
in
number
about
five
thousand.
\VS{11}Jesus
took
the
loaves,
and
having
given
thanks,
he
distributed
to
the disciples,
and
the disciples
to
those
who
were sitting down,
likewise
also
of
the
fish
as
much
as
they
desired.
\VS{12}When
they
were filled,
he
said
to
his
disciples,
{\WJ{“Gather up
the
broken
pieces
which
are
left
over,
that
nothing
be
lost.”}}
\VS{13}So
they
gathered
them
up,
and
filled
twelve
baskets
with
broken
pieces
from
the
five
barley
loaves,
which
were
left
over
by
those
who
had
eaten.
\VS{14}When
therefore
the
people
saw
the
sign
which
Jesus
did,
they
said, “This
is
truly
the
prophet
who
comes
into
the
world.”
\VS{15}Jesus
therefore,
perceiving
that
they
were
about
to
come
and
take
him
by
force
to
make
him
king,
withdrew
again
to
the
mountain
by
himself.
\par }{\PP \VS{16}When
evening
came,
his
disciples
went
down
to
the
sea.
\VS{17}They
entered
into
the
boat,
and
were
going
over
the
sea
to
Capernaum.
It
was
now
dark,
and
Jesus
had
not
come
to
them.
\VS{18}The
sea
was tossed
by a
great
wind
blowing.
\VS{19}When
therefore
they
had
rowed
about twenty-five
or
thirty stadia,\FTNT{†}{{\FR 6:19 }
25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles}

saw

walking
on

See Job 9:8}
and
drawing
near
to
the
boat;
and
they
were
afraid.
\VS{20}But
he
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“It
is
I.}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 6:20 }
or, I AM}
{\WJ{
Don’t
be
afraid.”}}
\VS{21}They
were
willing
therefore
to
receive
him
into
the
boat.
Immediately
the
boat
was
at
the
land
where
they
were
going.
\par }{\PP \VS{22}On
the
next
day,
the
multitude
that
stood
on
the
other
side
of
the
sea
saw
that
there
was
no
other
boat
there,
except
the
one
in
which
his
disciples
had embarked,
and
that
Jesus hadn’t
entered
with
his
disciples
into
the
boat,
but
his
disciples
had
gone
away
alone.
\VS{23}However,
boats
from
Tiberias
came
near
to
the
place
where
they
ate
the
bread
after
the
Lord
had
given
thanks.
\VS{24}When
the
multitude
therefore
saw
that
Jesus
wasn’t
there,
nor
his
disciples,
they
themselves
got
into
the
boats
and
came
to
Capernaum,
seeking
Jesus.
\VS{25}When
they
found
him
on
the
other
side
of
the
sea,
they
asked
him, “Rabbi,
when
did
you
come
here?”

answered
them,
{\WJ{“Most

\VS{39}But
he
said
this
about
the
Spirit,
which
those
believing
in
him
were
to
receive.
For
the Holy
Spirit
was
not
yet given,
because
Jesus wasn’t
yet
glorified.
\par }{\PP \VS{40}Many
of
the

therefore,
when
they
heard
these
words,
said, “This
is
truly
the

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

said
that

comes
of

\VS{43}So
a
division
arose
in
the
multitude
because
of
him.
\VS{44}Some
of
them
would
have arrested
him,
but
no

laid
hands
on
him.
\VS{45}The

therefore
came
to
the

they
said
to
them, “Why

bring
him?”

answered, “No

went
to

went
to

very
early
in

he
came
again
into

came
to
him.
He
sat
down
and
taught
them.
\VS{3}The
scribes
and
the

brought
a
woman taken
in
adultery. Having
set
her
in
the
middle,
\VS{4}they
told
him, “Teacher,
we
found
this

in
adultery,
in
the

Moses
commanded
us
to
stone
such

say
about her?”

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

Jesus
stooped
down
and
wrote
on
the

with
his
finger.

continued
asking

and
said
to
them,

stooped
down

wrote
on

with

heard
it,
being
convicted
by

went
out
one

beginning
from

Jesus
was
left
alone
with
the
woman
where
she
was,
in
the
middle.

saw
her
and
said,
{\WJ{“Woman,

condemn

gathered
a

said, “What

doing?

does
many
signs.

leave
him
alone
like
this,

will
come

to

consider

not
perish.”

didn’t
say
this
of

prophesied
that

would
die
for

not
for

that

might
also
gather
together
into
one
the

of

who
are
scattered
abroad.

that

therefore
walked
no
more
openly
among
the

departed
from
there
into
the
country
near
the
wilderness,
to
a
city
called
Ephraim.

stayed
there
with
his
disciples.

of

was
at

went
up
from

to

before

Passover,
to
purify
themselves.

sought
for

one
another

stood
in

isn’t
coming

should
report

Passover,
Jesus
came
to
Bethany,
where
Lazarus
was,
who
had
been
dead,
whom
he
raised
from
the
dead.
\VS{2}So
they
made
him
a
supper
there.
Martha
served,
but
Lazarus
was
one
of
those
who sat
at
the table
with
him.
\VS{3}Therefore
Mary
took
a
pound\FTNT{*}{{\FR 12:3 }
a Roman pound of 12 ounces, or about 340 grams}
of
ointment
of
pure
nard,
very
precious,
and
anointed Jesus’s
feet
and
wiped
his
feet
with
her
hair.
The
house
was
filled
with
the
fragrance
of
the
ointment.
\par }{\PP \VS{4}Then
Judas
Iscariot, Simon’s son,
one
of
his
disciples,
who
would
betray
him,
said,
\VS{5}“Why
wasn’t
this
ointment
sold
for
three
hundred
denarii\FTNT{†}{{\FR 12:5 }
300 denarii was about a year’s wages for an agricultural laborer.}
and
given
to
the
poor?”
\VS{6}Now
he
said
this,
not
because
he cared
for
the
poor,
but
because
he
was
a
thief,
and
having
the
money
box, used
to steal
what
was
put
into
it.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}But
Jesus
said,
{\WJ{“Leave
her
alone.
She
has
kept
this
for
the
day
of
my
burial.
}}
\VS{8}{\WJ{
For
you
always
have
the
poor
with
you,
but
you
don’t
always
have
me.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{9}A
large
crowd
therefore
of
the
Jews
learned
that
he
was
there;
and
they
came,
not
for
Jesus’
sake
only,
but
that
they
might
see
Lazarus
also,
whom
he
had
raised
from
the
dead.
\VS{10}But
the
chief
priests conspired
to
put
Lazarus
to
death
also,
\VS{11}because
on
account
of
him
many
of
the
Jews
went
away
and
believed
in
Jesus.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}On
the
next
day
a
great
multitude
had
come
to
the
feast.
When
they
heard
that
Jesus
was
coming
to
Jerusalem,
\VS{13}they
took
the
branches
of
the
palm
trees
and
went
out
to
meet
him,
and
cried
out, “Hosanna!\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 12:13 }
“Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray”.}
Blessed
is
he
who
comes
in
the
name
of
the

}

King
of
Israel!”
\par }{\PP \VS{14}Jesus, having
found
a
young
donkey,
sat
on
it.
As
it
is
written,
\VS{15}“Don’t
be
afraid,
daughter
of
Zion.
Behold,
your
King
comes,
sitting
on
a
donkey’s
colt.”\XREF{✡}{{\XO 12:15 }
Zechariah 9:9}
\VS{16}His
disciples
didn’t
understand
these
things
at
first,
but
when
Jesus
was
glorified,
then
they
remembered
that
these
things
were
written
about
him,
and
that
they
had
done
these
things
to
him.
\VS{17}The
multitude
therefore
that
was
with
him
when
he
called
Lazarus
out
of
the
tomb
and
raised
him
from
the
dead
was
testifying
about
it.
\VS{18}For
this
cause
also
the
multitude
went
and
met
him,
because
they
heard
that
he
had
done
this
sign.
\VS{19}The
Pharisees
therefore
said
among
themselves, “See
how
you accomplish
nothing.
Behold,
the
world
has
gone
after
him.”
\par }{\PP \VS{20}Now
there
were
certain
Greeks
among
those
who
went
up
to
worship
at
the
feast.
\VS{21}Therefore,
these
came
to
Philip,
who
was
from
Bethsaida
of
Galilee,
and
asked
him,
saying, “Sir,
we
want
to
see
Jesus.”
\VS{22}Philip
came
and
told
Andrew,
and
in turn,
Andrew
came
with
Philip,
and
they
told
Jesus.
\par }{\PP \VS{23}Jesus
answered
them,
{\WJ{“The

came
out

said, “An

he
said

signifying
by
what

he
should
die.

answered
him, “We

this cause
they
couldn’t

said
again:

before

to

all shouted
again,

heard

was
more
afraid.

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

therefore
said
to
him, “Aren’t

\par }{\PP \VS{12}At

out

down
on

judgment

place
called “The

was

at
about
the
sixth
hour.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 19:14 }
“the sixth hour” would have been 6:00 a.m. according to the Roman timekeeping system, or noon for the Jewish timekeeping system in use, then.

He
said
to
the
Jews, “Behold,
your
King!”
\par }{\PP \VS{15}They
cried
out, “Away
with
him!
Away
with
him!
Crucify

\par }{\PP Pilate
said
to
them, “Shall
I
crucify
your
King?”
\par }{\PP The
chief
priests
answered, “We
have
no
king
but
Caesar!”
\par }{\PP \VS{16}So
then
he
delivered
him
to
them
to
be
crucified.
So
they
took
Jesus
and led
him away.
\VS{17}He
went
out,
bearing
his
cross,
to
the
place
called “The
Place
of
a
Skull”,
which
is
called
in
Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
\VS{18}where
they
crucified
him,
and
with
him
two
others,
on
either
side
one,
and
Jesus
in
the
middle.
\VS{19}Pilate
wrote
a title
also,
and
put
it
on
the
cross.
There
was
written, “JESUS
OF
NAZARETH,
THE
KING
OF
THE
JEWS.”
\VS{20}Therefore
many
of
the
Jews
read
this title,
for
the
place
where
Jesus
was
crucified
was
near
the
city;
and
it
was
written
in
Hebrew,
in
Latin,
and
in
Greek.
\VS{21}The
chief
priests
of
the
Jews
therefore
said
to
Pilate, “Don’t
write, ‘The
King
of
the
Jews,’
but, ‘he
said, “I
am
King
of
the
Jews.” ’ ”
\par }{\PP \VS{22}Pilate
answered, “What
I
have
written,
I
have
written.”
\par }{\PP \VS{23}Then
the
soldiers,
when
they
had
crucified
Jesus,
took
his
garments
and
made
four
parts,
to
every
soldier
a
part;
and
also
the
tunic.
Now
the
tunic
was
without seam,
woven
from
the
top
throughout.
\VS{24}Then
they
said
to
one
another, “Let’s
not
tear
it,
but
cast
lots
for
it
to decide
whose
it
will
be,”
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled,
which
says,
\par }{\Q “They parted
my
garments
among
them.
\par }{\QB They
cast
lots
for
my
clothing.”\XREF{✡}{{\XO 19:24 }
Psalm 22:18}
\par }{\MM Therefore
the
soldiers
did
these
things.
\par }{\PP \VS{25}But
standing
by
Jesus’
cross
were
his
mother,
his
mother’s
sister,
Mary
the wife
of
Clopas,
and
Mary
Magdalene.
\VS{26}Therefore
when
Jesus
saw
his
mother,
and
the
disciple
whom
he
loved
standing
there,
he
said
to
his
mother,
{\WJ{“Woman,
behold,
your
son!”
}}
\VS{27}Then
he
said
to
the
disciple,
{\WJ{“Behold,
your
mother!”}}
From
that
hour,
the
disciple
took
her
to
his
own
home.
\par }{\PP \VS{28}After
this,
Jesus,
seeing\FTNT{†}{{\FR 19:28 }
NU, TR read “knowing” instead of “seeing”
}
that
all
things
were
now
finished,
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled,
said,
{\WJ{“I
am
thirsty!”}}
\VS{29}Now
a
vessel
full
of vinegar
was
set there;
so
they
put
a
sponge
full
of
the vinegar
on
hyssop,
and held
it
at
his
mouth.
\VS{30}When
Jesus
therefore
had
received
the vinegar,
he
said,
{\WJ{“It
is
finished!”}}
Then
he
bowed
his
head
and
gave
up
his
spirit.
\par }{\PP \VS{31}Therefore
the
Jews,
because
it
was
the
Preparation
Day,
so
that
the
bodies wouldn’t
remain
on
the
cross
on
the
Sabbath (for
that
Sabbath
was
a special
one),
asked
of
Pilate
that
their
legs
might
be
broken
and
that
they
might
be
taken
away.
\VS{32}Therefore
the
soldiers
came
and
broke
the
legs
of
the
first
and
of
the
other
who
was
crucified
with
him;
\VS{33}but
when
they
came
to
Jesus
and
saw
that
he
was
already
dead,
they
didn’t
break
his
legs.
\VS{34}However,
one
of
the
soldiers
pierced
his
side
with
a
spear,
and
immediately
blood
and
water
came
out.
\VS{35}He
who
has
seen
has
testified,
and
his
testimony
is
true.
He
knows
that
he tells
the
truth,
that
you
may
believe.
\VS{36}For
these
things
happened
that
the
Scripture might
be
fulfilled, “A
bone
of
him
will
not
be
broken.”\XREF{✡}{{\XO 19:36 }
Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20

says, “They
will
look
on
him
whom

pierced.”\XREF{✡}{{\XO 19:37 }
Zechariah 12:10}
\par }{\PP \VS{38}After
these
things,
Joseph
of Arimathaea,
being
a
disciple
of
Jesus,
but
secretly
for
fear
of
the
Jews,
asked
of
Pilate
that
he
might
take
away
Jesus’
body.
Pilate
gave
him
permission.
He
came
therefore
and
took
away
his
body.
\VS{39}Nicodemus,
who
at
first
came
to
Jesus
by
night,
also
came
bringing
a
mixture
of
myrrh
and
aloes,
about
a
hundred Roman
pounds.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 19:39 }
100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds, or 33 Kilograms.}
\VS{40}So
they
took
Jesus’
body,
and
bound
it
in
linen cloths
with
the
spices,
as
the
custom
of
the
Jews
is
to bury.
\VS{41}Now
in
the
place
where
he
was
crucified
there
was
a
garden.
In
the
garden
was
a
new
tomb
in
which
no
man
had ever
yet
been
laid.
\VS{42}Then,
because
of
the Jews’
Preparation
Day (for
the
tomb
was
near
at hand),
they
laid
Jesus
there.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
on
the
first
day
of
the
week,
Mary
Magdalene
went
early,
while
it
was
still
dark,
to
the
tomb,
and
saw
that
the
stone
had
been
taken
away
from
the
tomb.
\VS{2}Therefore
she
ran
and
came
to
Simon
Peter
and
to
the
other
disciple
whom
Jesus
loved,
and
said
to
them, “They
have
taken
away
the
Lord
out
of
the
tomb,
and
we
don’t
know
where
they
have
laid
him!”
\par }{\PP \VS{3}Therefore
Peter
and
the
other
disciple
went
out,
and
they
went
toward
the
tomb.
\VS{4}They
both
ran
together.
The
other
disciple outran
Peter
and
came
to
the
tomb
first.
\VS{5}Stooping
and
looking
in,
he
saw
the
linen cloths
lying there;
yet
he
didn’t
enter
in.
\VS{6}Then
Simon
Peter
came,
following
him,
and
entered
into
the
tomb.
He
saw
the
linen cloths
lying,
\VS{7}and
the
cloth
that
had
been
on
his
head,
not
lying
with
the
linen cloths,
but
rolled
up
in
a
place
by
itself.
\VS{8}So
then
the
other
disciple
who
came
first
to
the
tomb
also
entered
in,
and
he
saw
and
believed.
\VS{9}For
as
yet
they didn’t
know
the
Scripture,
that
he
must
rise
from
the
dead.
\VS{10}So
the
disciples
went
away
again
to
their
own homes.
\par }{\PP \VS{11}But
Mary
was
standing
outside
at
the
tomb
weeping.
So
as
she
wept,
she
stooped
and
looked
into
the
tomb,
\VS{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.
\VS{13}They
asked
her, “Woman,
why
are
you
weeping?”
\par }{\PP She
said
to
them, “Because
they
have
taken
away
my
Lord,
and
I
don’t
know
where
they
have
laid
him.”
\VS{14}When
she
had
said
this,
she
turned
around
and
saw
Jesus
standing,
and
didn’t
know
that
it
was
Jesus.
\par }{\PP \VS{15}Jesus
said
to
her,
{\WJ{“Woman,
why
are
you
weeping?
Who
are
you
looking
for?”}}
\par }{\PP She,
supposing
him
to
be
the
gardener,
said
to
him, “Sir,
if
you
have
carried
him
away,
tell
me
where
you
have
laid
him,
and
I
will
take
him
away.”
\par }{\PP \VS{16}Jesus
said
to
her,
{\WJ{“Mary.”}}
\par }{\PP She
turned
and
said
to
him, “Rabboni!”\FTNT{*}{{\FR 20:16 }
Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.”}
which
is
to
say, “Teacher!”\FTNT{†}{{\FR 20:16 }
or, Master}
\par }{\PP \VS{17}Jesus
said
to
her,
{\WJ{“Don’t hold
me,
for
I
haven’t
yet
ascended
to
my
Father;
but
go
to
my
brothers
and
tell
them, ‘I
am
ascending
to
my
Father
and
your
Father,
to
my
God
and
your
God.’ ”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{18}Mary
Magdalene
came
and
told
the
disciples
that
she
had
seen
the
Lord,
and
that
he
had
said
these
things
to
her.
\VS{19}When
therefore
it
was
evening
on
that
day,
the
first
day
of
the
week,
and
when
the
doors
were
locked
where
the
disciples
were assembled,
for
fear
of
the
Jews,
Jesus
came
and
stood
in
the
middle
and
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Peace
be
to
you.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{20}When
he
had
said
this,
he
showed
them
his
hands
and
his
side.
The
disciples
therefore
were
glad
when
they
saw
the
Lord.
\VS{21}Jesus
therefore
said
to
them
again,
{\WJ{“Peace
be
to
you.
As
the
Father
has
sent
me,
even
so
I
send
you.”}}
\VS{22}When
he
had
said
this,
he
breathed
on
them,
and
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Receive
the
Holy
Spirit!
}}
\VS{23}{\WJ{
If
you
forgive
anyone’s
sins,
they
have
been
forgiven
them.
If
you
retain
anyone’s
sins,
they
have
been
retained.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{24}But
Thomas,
one
of
the
twelve,
called
Didymus,\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 20:24 }
or, Twin}
wasn’t
with
them
when
Jesus
came.
\VS{25}The
other
disciples
therefore
said
to
him, “We
have
seen
the
Lord!”
\par }{\PP But
he
said
to
them, “Unless
I
see
in
his
hands
the print
of
the
nails,
put
my
finger
into
the print
of
the
nails,
and
put
my
hand
into
his
side,
I
will
not
believe.”
\par }{\PP \VS{26}After
eight
days,
again
his
disciples
were
inside
and
Thomas
was
with
them.
Jesus
came,
the
doors
being
locked,
and
stood
in
the
middle,
and
said,
{\WJ{“Peace
be
to
you.”}}
\VS{27}Then
he
said
to
Thomas,
{\WJ{“Reach
here
your
finger,
and
see
my
hands.
Reach
here
your
hand,
and
put
it
into
my
side.
Don’t
be
unbelieving,
but
believing.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{28}Thomas
answered
him, “My
Lord
and
my
God!”
\par }{\PP \VS{29}Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Because
you
have
seen
me,}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 20:29 }
TR adds “Thomas,”}
{\WJ{
you
have
believed.
Blessed
are
those
who
have
not
seen
and
have
believed.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{30}Therefore
Jesus
did
many
other
signs
in
the
presence
of
his
disciples,
which
are
not
written
in
this
book;
\VS{31}but
these
are
written
that
you
may
believe
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ,
the
Son
of
God,
and
that
believing
you
may
have
life
in
his
name.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
these
things,
Jesus
revealed
himself
again
to
the
disciples
at
the
sea
of
Tiberias.
He
revealed
himself
this
way.
\VS{2}Simon
Peter,
Thomas
called
Didymus,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 21:2 }
or, Twin}
Nathanael
of
Cana
in
Galilee,
and
the sons
of
Zebedee,
and
two
others
of
his
disciples
were
together.
\VS{3}Simon
Peter
said
to
them, “I’m
going
fishing.”
\par }{\PP They
told
him, “We
are
also
coming
with
you.”
They immediately
went
out
and
entered
into
the
boat.
That
night,
they
caught
nothing.
\VS{4}But
when day
had
already
come,
Jesus
stood
on
the
beach;
yet
the
disciples
didn’t
know
that
it
was
Jesus.
\VS{5}Jesus
therefore
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Children,
have
you
anything
to eat?”
}}
\par }{\PP They
answered
him, “No.”
\par }{\PP \VS{6}He
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Cast
the
net
on
the
right
side
of
the
boat,
and
you
will
find
some.”}}
\par }{\PP They
cast
it
therefore,
and
now
they weren’t
able
to
draw
it
in
for
the
multitude
of
fish.
\VS{7}That
disciple
therefore
whom
Jesus
loved
said
to
Peter, “It’s
the
Lord!”
\par }{\PP So
when
Simon
Peter
heard
that
it
was
the
Lord,
he wrapped
his coat around
himself (for
he
was
naked),
and
threw
himself
into
the
sea.
\VS{8}But
the
other
disciples
came
in
the
little
boat (for
they
were
not
far
from
the
land,
but
about
two
hundred
cubits\FTNT{†}{{\FR 21:8 }
200 cubits is about 100 yards or about 91 meters}
away),
dragging
the
net full
of
fish.
\VS{9}So
when
they
got out
on
the
land,
they
saw
a
fire
of coals there,
with
fish
and
bread
laid
on
it.
\VS{10}Jesus
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Bring
some
of
the
fish
which
you
have
just
caught.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{11}Simon
Peter
went
up,
and
drew
the
net
to
land,
full
of
one
hundred
fifty-three
great
fish.
Even
though
there
were
so
many,
the
net
wasn’t
torn.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}Jesus
said
to
them,
{\WJ{“Come
and eat
breakfast!”}}
\par }{\PP None
of
the
disciples
dared
inquire
of
him, “Who
are
you?”
knowing
that
it
was
the
Lord.
\par }{\PP \VS{13}Then
Jesus
came
and
took
the
bread,
gave
it
to
them,
and
the
fish
likewise.
\VS{14}This
is
now
the
third
time
that
Jesus
was
revealed
to
his
disciples
after
he
had
risen
from
the
dead.
\VS{15}So
when
they
had eaten
their
breakfast,
Jesus
said
to
Simon
Peter,
{\WJ{“Simon, son
of Jonah,
do
you
love
me
more
than
these?”}}
\par }{\PP He
said
to
him, “Yes,
Lord;
you
know
that
I
have affection
for
you.”
\par }{\PP He
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Feed
my
lambs.”}}
\VS{16}He
said
to
him
again
a
second
time,
{\WJ{“Simon, son
of Jonah,
do
you
love
me?”}}
\par }{\PP He
said
to
him, “Yes,
Lord;
you
know
that
I
have affection
for
you.”
\par }{\PP He
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Tend
my
sheep.”}}
\VS{17}He
said
to
him
the
third
time,
{\WJ{“Simon, son
of Jonah,
do
you
have affection
for
me?”}}
\par }{\PP Peter
was
grieved
because
he
asked
him
the
third
time,
{\WJ{“Do
you
have affection
for
me?”}}
He
said
to
him, “Lord,
you
know
everything.
You
know
that
I
have affection
for
you.”
\par }{\PP Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Feed
my
sheep.
}}
\VS{18}{\WJ{Most
certainly
I
tell
you,
when
you
were
young,
you dressed
yourself
and
walked
where
you
wanted
to.
But
when
you
are
old,
you
will
stretch
out
your
hands,
and
another
will dress
you
and
carry
you
where
you
don’t
want
to go.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{19}Now
he
said
this,
signifying
by
what
kind
of
death
he
would
glorify
God.
When
he
had
said
this,
he
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“Follow
me.”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{20}Then
Peter,
turning
around,
saw
a
disciple
following.
This
was
the
disciple
whom
Jesus
loved,
the
one
who
had
also
leaned
on
Jesus’
breast
at
the
supper
and
asked, “Lord,
who
is going
to
betray
you?”
\VS{21}Peter,
seeing
him,
said
to
Jesus, “Lord,
what
about
this
man?”
\par }{\PP \VS{22}Jesus
said
to
him,
{\WJ{“If
I
desire
that
he
stay
until
I
come,
what
is
that
to
you?
You
follow
me.”}}
\VS{23}This
saying
therefore
went
out
among
the
brothers\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 21:23 }
The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”}
that
this
disciple wouldn’t
die.
Yet
Jesus
didn’t
say
to
him
that
he wouldn’t
die,
but,
{\WJ{“If
I
desire
that
he
stay
until
I
come,
what
is
that
to
you?”}}
\par }{\PP \VS{24}This
is
the
disciple
who
testifies
about
these
things,
and
wrote
these
things.
We
know
that
his
witness
is
true.
\VS{25}There
are
also
many
other
things
which
Jesus
did,
which
if
they
would
all
be
written,
I
suppose
that
even
the
world
itself wouldn’t
have
room
for
the
books
that
would
be
written.
