All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 John testified about him.

Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 He declared, and didn't deny, but he declared, "I am not the Christ." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 He said, "I am the voice of onecrying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.' <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was aboutthe tenth hour. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ ). <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter). <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">46 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">51 He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_2">Chapter 2</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Chapter 2">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 The third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee.

They filled them up to the brim. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the ruler of the feast." So they took it. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when the guests have drunk freely, then that which is worse.

Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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 did." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 Many more believed because of his word. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">48 Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">51 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_5">Chapter 5</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Chapter 5">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Bethesda," having five porches. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 He answered them, "He who made me well, the same said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.' " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat, and walk'  ?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 But he who was healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 I don't receive glory from men. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me.

Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 But he said to them, "It is I .

He who eats this bread will live forever." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">64 But there are some of you who don't believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">65 He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">66 At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">70 Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_7">Chapter 7</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Chapter 7">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 For even his brothers didn't believe in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come'? " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">49 But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">51 "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee. " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">53 Everyone went to his own house, <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_8">Chapter 8</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Chapter 8">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can't come." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?' " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?' " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">45 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">48 Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">49 Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I don't know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">57 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">58 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. " <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst of them, and so passed by. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_9">Chapter 9</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Chapter 9">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't also want to become his disciples, do you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_10">Chapter 10</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Chapter 10">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe.

For which of those works do you stone me?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?' <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken), <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?' <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 Many believed in him there. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_11">Chapter 11</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Chapter 11">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let's go into Judea again." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go also, that we may die with him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.

They told him,"Lord, come and see." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 Jesus wept. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">45 Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">51 Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he isn't coming to the feast at all?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_12">Chapter 12</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Chapter 12">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 "Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don't always have me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 "Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn't believe in him, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, <dl><dd>"Lord, who has believed our report?</dd> <dd>To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"</dd> <dd></dd></dl> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again, <dl><dd></dd> <dd><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,</dd> <dd>lest they should see with their eyes,</dd> <dd>and perceive with their heart,</dd> <dd>and would turn,</dd> <dd>and I would heal them."</dd> <dd></dd></dl> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it, so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">43 for they loved men's praise more than God's praise. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">44 Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">45 He who sees me sees him who sent me. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him.

He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 I don't speak concerning all of you.

So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me?

The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You aren't also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death," <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_19">Chapter 19</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Chapter 19">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at aboutthe sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha," <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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.'" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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, <dl><dd>"They parted my garments among them.</dd> <dd>For my cloak they cast lots."</dd> <dd></dd></dl> Therefore the soldiers did these things. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 After this, Jesus,seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">32 Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">36 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">40 So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">42 Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_20">Chapter 20</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Chapter 20">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him, "Rabboni !" which is to say, "Teacher !" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 Jesus said to her, "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.'" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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 midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">26 After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don't be unbelieving, but believing." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chapter_21">Chapter 21</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bible_(World_English)/John&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Chapter 21">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14317252"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">5 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but abouttwo hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">18 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." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">21 Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">22 Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me." <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">23 This saying therefore went out among thebrothers , that this disciple wouldn't die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?" <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r14518266">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. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r14700113">.mw-parser-output
