John |
![]()
|
1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
|
1:2: The same was in the beginning with God. |
|
1:3: All things were made by him; and without
him was not any thing made that was made. |
|
1:4: In him was life; and the life was the
light of men. |
|
1:5: And the light shineth in darkness; and
the darkness comprehended it not. |
|
1:6: There was a man sent from God, whose
name was John. |
|
1:7: The same came for a witness, to bear
witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. |
|
1:8: He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light. |
|
1:9: That was the true Light, which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world. |
|
|
|
1:11: He came unto his own, and his own
received him not. |
|
|
|
1:13: Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
|
1:14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth. |
|
1:15: John bare witness of him, and cried,
saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred
before me: for he was before me. |
|
1:16: And of his fulness have all we
received, and grace for grace. |
|
1:17: For the law was given by Moses, but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. |
|
1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the
only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. |
|
1:19: And this is the record of John, when
the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? |
|
1:20: And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed,
I am not the Christ. |
|
1:21: And they asked him, What then? Art thou
Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. |
|
1:22: Then said they unto him, Who art thou?
that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? |
|
1:23: He said, I am the voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet
Esaias. |
|
1:24: And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees. |
|
1:25: And they asked him, and said unto him,
Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
prophet? |
|
1:26: John answered them, saying, I baptize
with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; |
|
1:27: He it is, who coming after me is
preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. |
|
1:28: These things were done in Bethabara
beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. |
|
1:29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming
unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world. |
|
1:30: This is he of whom I said, After me
cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. |
|
1:31: And I knew him not: but that he should
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. |
|
1:32: And John bare record, saying, I saw the
Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. |
|
1:33: And I knew him not: but he that sent me
to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with
the Holy Ghost. |
|
1:34: And I saw, and bare record that this is
the Son of God. |
|
1:35: Again the next day after John stood,
and two of his disciples; |
|
1:36: And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God! |
|
1:37: And the two disciples heard him speak,
and they followed Jesus. |
|
1:38: Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi,
(which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? |
|
1:39: He saith unto them, Come and see. They
came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about
the tenth hour. |
|
1:40: One of the two which heard John speak,
and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. |
|
1:41: He first findeth his own brother Simon,
and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted,
the Christ. |
|
1:42: And he brought him to Jesus. And when
Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be
called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. |
|
1:43: The day following Jesus would go forth
into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. |
|
1:44: Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city
of Andrew and Peter. |
|
1:45: Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith
unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did
write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. |
|
1:46: And Nathanael said unto him, Can there
any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. |
|
1:47: Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and
saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! |
|
1:48: Nathanael saith unto him, Whence
knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called
thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. |
|
1:49: Nathanael answered and saith unto him,
Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. |
|
1:50: Jesus answered and said unto him,
Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou
shalt see greater things than these. |
|
1:51: And he saith unto him, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man. |
|
2:1: And the third day there was a marriage
in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: |
|
2:2: And both Jesus was called, and his
disciples, to the marriage. |
|
2:3: And when they wanted wine, the mother of
Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. |
|
2:4: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I
to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. |
|
2:5: His mother saith unto the servants,
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. |
|
2:6: And there were set there six waterpots
of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or
three firkins apiece. |
|
2:7: Jesus saith unto them, Fill the
waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. |
|
2:8: And he saith unto them, Draw out now,
and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. |
|
2:9: When the ruler of the feast had tasted
the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, |
|
2:10: And saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that
which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. |
|
2:11: This beginning of miracles did Jesus in
Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed
on him. |
|
2:12: After this he went down to Capernaum,
he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued
there not many days. |
|
2:13: And the Jews' passover was at hand, and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem, |
|
2:14: And found in the temple those that sold
oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: |
|
2:15: And when he had made a scourge of small
cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; |
|
2:16: And said unto them that sold doves,
Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. |
|
2:17: And his disciples remembered that it
was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. |
|
2:18: Then answered the Jews and said unto
him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? |
|
2:19: Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. |
|
2:20: Then said the Jews, Forty and six years
was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? |
|
2:21: But he spake of the temple of his body. |
|
2:22: When therefore he was risen from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they
believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. |
|
2:23: Now when he was in Jerusalem at the
passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the
miracles which he did. |
|
2:24: But Jesus did not commit himself unto
them, because he knew all men, |
|
2:25: And needed not that any should testify
of man: for he knew what was in man. |
|
3:1: There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: |
|
3:2: The same came to Jesus by night, and
said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no
man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. |
|
3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of God. |
|
3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man
be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,
and be born? |
|
3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God. |
|
3:6: That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. |
|
3:7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again. |
|
3:8: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. |
|
3:9: Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How
can these things be? |
|
3:10: Jesus answered and said unto him, Art
thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? |
|
3:11: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We
speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness. |
|
3:12: If I have told you earthly things, and
ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? |
|
3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. |
|
3:14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: |
|
3:15: That whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have eternal life. |
|
3:16: For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. |
|
3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. |
|
3:18: He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. |
|
3:19: And this is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. |
|
3:20: For every one that doeth evil hateth
the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. |
|
3:21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the
light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. |
|
3:22: After these things came Jesus and his
disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and
baptized. |
|
3:23: And John also was baptizing in Aenon
near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized. |
|
3:24: For John was not yet cast into prison. |
|
3:25: Then there arose a question between
some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. |
|
3:26: And they came unto John, and said unto
him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. |
|
3:27: John answered and said, A man can
receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. |
|
3:28: Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I
said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. |
|
3:29: He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him,
rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is
fulfilled. |
|
3:30: He must increase, but I must decrease. |
|
3:31: He that cometh from above is above all:
he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh
from heaven is above all. |
|
3:32: And what he hath seen and heard, that
he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. |
|
3:33: He that hath received his testimony
hath set to his seal that God is true. |
|
3:34: For he whom God hath sent speaketh the
words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. |
|
3:35: The Father loveth the Son, and hath
given all things into his hand. |
|
3:36: He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but
the wrath of God abideth on him. |
|
4:1: When therefore the Lord knew how the
Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, |
|
4:2: (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but
his disciples,) |
|
4:3: He left Judaea, and departed again into
Galilee. |
|
4:4: And he must needs go through Samaria. |
|
4:5: Then cometh he to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his
son Joseph. |
|
4:6: Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus
therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was
about the sixth hour. |
|
4:7: There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. |
|
4:8: (For his disciples were gone away unto
the city to buy meat.) |
|
4:9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto
him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman
of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. |
|
4:10: Jesus answered and said unto her, If
thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to
drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living
water. |
|
4:11: The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou
hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou
that living water? |
|
4:12: Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle? |
|
4:13: Jesus answered and said unto her,
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: |
|
4:14: But whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him
shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. |
|
4:15: The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me
this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. |
|
4:16: Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy
husband, and come hither. |
|
4:17: The woman answered and said, I have no
husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: |
|
4:18: For thou hast had five husbands; and he
whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. |
|
4:19: The woman saith unto him, Sir, I
perceive that thou art a prophet. |
|
4:20: Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to
worship. |
|
4:21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father. |
|
4:22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know
what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. |
|
4:23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father seeketh such to worship him. |
|
4:24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |
|
4:25: The woman saith unto him, I know that
Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things. |
|
4:26: Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto
thee am he. |
|
4:27: And upon this came his disciples, and
marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou?
or, Why talkest thou with her? |
|
4:28: The woman then left her waterpot, and
went her way into the city, and saith to the men, |
|
4:29: Come, see a man, which told me all
things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? |
|
4:30: Then they went out of the city, and
came unto him. |
|
4:31: In the mean while his disciples prayed
him, saying, Master, eat. |
|
4:32: But he said unto them, I have meat to
eat that ye know not of. |
|
4:33: Therefore said the disciples one to
another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? |
|
4:34: Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do
the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. |
|
4:35: Say not ye, There are yet four months,
and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look
on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. |
|
4:36: And he that reapeth receiveth wages,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice together. |
|
4:37: And herein is that saying true, One
soweth, and another reapeth. |
|
4:38: I sent you to reap that whereon ye
bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours. |
|
4:39: And many of the Samaritans of that city
believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all
that ever I did. |
|
4:40: So when the Samaritans were come unto
him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two
days. |
|
4:41: And many more believed because of his
own word; |
|
4:42: And said unto the woman, Now we
believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know
that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. |
|
4:43: Now after two days he departed thence,
and went into Galilee. |
|
4:44: For Jesus himself testified, that a
prophet hath no honour in his own country. |
|
4:45: Then when he was come into Galilee, the
Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem
at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. |
|
4:46: So Jesus came again into Cana of
Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman,
whose son was sick at Capernaum. |
|
4:47: When he heard that Jesus was come out
of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come
down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. |
|
4:48: Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see
signs and wonders, ye will not believe. |
|
4:49: The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come
down ere my child die. |
|
4:50: Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy
son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and
he went his way. |
|
4:51: And as he was now going down, his
servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. |
|
4:52: Then enquired he of them the hour when
he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever left him. |
|
4:53: So the father knew that it was at the
same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself
believed, and his whole house. |
|
4:54: This is again the second miracle that
Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. |
|
5:1: After this there was a feast of the
Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
|
5:2: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches. |
|
5:3: In these lay a great multitude of
impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. |
|
5:4: For an angel went down at a certain
season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the
troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he
had. |
|
5:5: And a certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight years. |
|
5:6: When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he
had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole? |
|
5:7: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I
have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I
am coming, another steppeth down before me. |
|
5:8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy
bed, and walk. |
|
5:9: And immediately the man was made whole,
and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. |
|
5:10: The Jews therefore said unto him that
was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. |
|
5:11: He answered them, He that made me
whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. |
|
5:12: Then asked they him, What man is that
which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? |
|
5:13: And he that was healed wist not who it
was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. |
|
5:14: Afterward Jesus findeth him in the
temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee. |
|
5:15: The man departed, and told the Jews
that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. |
|
5:16: And therefore did the Jews persecute
Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the
sabbath day. |
|
5:17: But Jesus answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. |
|
5:18: Therefore the Jews sought
the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said
also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. |
|
5:19: Then answered Jesus and
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of
himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise. |
|
5:20: For the Father loveth the
Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him
greater works than these, that ye may marvel. |
|
5:21: For as the Father raiseth
up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. |
|
5:22: For the Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: |
|
5:23: That all men should
honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. |
|
5:24: Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life. |
|
5:25: Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice
of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. |
|
5:26: For as the Father hath
life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; |
|
5:27: And hath given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. |
|
5:28: Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his
voice, |
|
5:29: And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. |
|
5:30: I can of mine own self do
nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine
own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. |
|
5:31: If I bear witness of
myself, my witness is not true. |
|
5:32: There is another that
beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me
is true. |
|
5:33: Ye sent unto John, and he
bare witness unto the truth. |
|
5:34: But I receive not
testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. |
|
5:35: He was a burning and a
shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. |
|
5:36: But I have greater
witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to
finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath
sent me. |
|
5:37: And the Father himself,
which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice
at any time, nor seen his shape. |
|
5:38: And ye have not his word
abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. |
|
5:39: Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of
me. |
|
5:40: And ye will not come to
me, that ye might have life. |
|
5:41: I receive not honour from
men. |
|
5:42: But I know you, that ye
have not the love of God in you. |
|
5:43: I am come in my Father's
name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye
will receive. |
|
5:44: How can ye believe, which
receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God
only? |
|
5:45: Do not think that I will
accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom
ye trust. |
|
5:46: For had ye believed
Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. |
|
5:47: But if ye believe not his
writings, how shall ye believe my words? |
|
6:1: After these things Jesus
went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. |
|
6:2: And a great multitude
followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were
diseased. |
|
6:3: And Jesus went up into a
mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. |
|
6:4: And the passover, a feast
of the Jews, was nigh. |
|
6:5: When Jesus then lifted up
his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may eat? |
|
6:6: And this he said to prove
him: for he himself knew what he would do. |
|
6:7: Philip answered him, Two
hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of
them may take a little. |
|
6:8: One of his disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, |
|
6:9: There is a lad here, which
hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so
many? |
|
6:10: And Jesus said, Make the
men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand. |
|
6:11: And Jesus took the
loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and
the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much
as they would. |
|
6:12: When they were filled, he
said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be
lost. |
|
6:13: Therefore they gathered
them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five
barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. |
|
6:14: Then those men, when they
had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet
that should come into the world. |
|
6:15: When Jesus therefore
perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he
departed again into a mountain himself alone. |
|
6:16: And when even was now
come, his disciples went down unto the sea, |
|
6:17: And entered into a ship,
and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was
not come to them. |
|
6:18: And the sea arose by
reason of a great wind that blew. |
|
6:19: So when they had rowed
about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea,
and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. |
|
6:20: But he saith unto them,
It is I; be not afraid. |
|
6:21: Then they willingly
received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither
they went. |
|
6:22: The day following, when
the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none
other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and
that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples
were gone away alone; |
|
6:23: (Howbeit there came other
boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that
the Lord had given thanks:) |
|
6:24: When the people therefore
saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping,
and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. |
|
6:25: And when they had found
him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou
hither? |
|
6:26: Jesus answered them and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the
miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. |
|
6:27: Labour not for the meat
which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. |
|
6:28: Then said they unto him,
What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? |
|
6:29: Jesus answered and said
unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. |
|
6:30: They said therefore unto
him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what
dost thou work? |
|
6:31: Our fathers did eat manna
in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. |
|
6:32: Then Jesus said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from
heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. |
|
6:33: For the bread of God is
he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. |
|
6:34: Then said they unto him,
Lord, evermore give us this bread. |
|
6:35: And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst. |
|
6:36: But I said unto you, That
ye also have seen me, and believe not. |
|
6:37: All that the Father
giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast
out. |
|
6:38: For I came down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. |
|
6:39: And this is the Father's
will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose
nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. |
|
6:40: And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. |
|
6:41: The Jews then murmured at
him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. |
|
6:42: And they said, Is not
this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it
then that he saith, I came down from heaven? |
|
6:43: Jesus therefore answered
and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. |
|
6:44: No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the
last day. |
|
6:45: It is written in the prophets,
And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and
hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. |
|
6:46: Not that any man hath
seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. |
|
6:47: Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. |
|
6:48: I am that bread of life. |
|
6:49: Your fathers did eat
manna in the wilderness, and are dead. |
|
6:50: This is the bread which
cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. |
|
6:51: I am the living bread
which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for
ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world. |
|
6:52: The Jews therefore strove
among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
|
6:53: Then Jesus said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of
man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. |
|
6:54: Whoso eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last
day. |
|
6:55: For my flesh is meat
indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. |
|
6:56: He that eateth my flesh,
and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. |
|
6:57: As the living Father hath
sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live
by me. |
|
6:58: This is that bread which
came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he
that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. |
|
6:59: These things said he in
the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. |
|
6:60: Many therefore of his
disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can
hear it? |
|
6:61: When Jesus knew in
himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this
offend you? |
|
6:62: What and if ye shall see
the Son of man ascend up where he was before? |
|
6:63: It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life. |
|
6:64: But there are some of you
that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that
believed not, and who should betray him. |
