ACCORDING
TO JOHN
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through him, and without him
came into being not one thing that is in being.
4 In him is life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness
comprehended it not.
6 There came a man, sent from God; his name was John:
7 this man came for a testimony, that he might testify of
the light, that all through him might believe.
8 He was not the light, but came that he might testify of
the light.
9 That was the true light, which, coming into the world,
gives light to every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into being
through him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came to his own country, and his own people received
him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right
to become children of God, to those that believe on his name,
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled
among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
15 John testified of him and cried, saying: This was he of
whom I said: He that comes after me has been advanced before me, because he was
before me.
16 For of his fullness have we all received, and grace for
grace;
17 for the law was given through Moses, the grace and the
truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
19 And the testimony of John is this, when the Jews of
Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him: Who art thou?
20 And he confessed and denied not, and confessed: I am
not the Christ.
21 And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elijah? He
said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? and he answered: No.
22 They then said to him: Who art thou? that we may give
an answer to those that sent us: what sayest thou of
thyself?
23 He replied: I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 And some had been sent from the Pharisees,
25 and they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou
baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying: I baptize in water: in the
midst of you there stands whom you know not,
27 he that comes after me, the latchet of whose sandal I
am not worthy to loose.
28 These things were done in
29 On the next day he sees Jesus coming to him, and says:
Behold, the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said: After me comes a man who has
been advanced before me, because he was before me.
31 And I knew him not, but that he might be manifested to
32 And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit
descending, like a dove, from heaven, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not, but he that sent me to baptize in
water, he said to me: On whom thou shalt see the
Spirit descending and abiding on him, this is he that baptizeth
in the Holy Spirit.
34 And I have seen, and I have testified that this is the
Son of God.
35 On the next day again John stood, and two of his
disciples,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he says:
Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and followed
Jesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them:
39 What seek you? They said to him: Rabbi (which is
called, when translated, Teacher), where abidest
thou?
40 He says to them: Come and see. They came therefore and
saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: it was about the tenth
hour.
41 It was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, one of the
two that had heard from John and followed him:
42 he first finds his own brother Simon and says to him:
We have found the Messiah, which is, translated, Christ.
43 He brought him to Jesus. Looking upon him, Jesus said:
Thou art Simon the son of Joanna: thou shalt be
called Cephas, which is, translated. Peter.
44 On the next day he wished to go forth into
45 But Philip was from
46 Philip finds Nathaniel, and says to him: We have found
him of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, who is of
47 Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of
48 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said concerning
him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
49 Nathaniel said to him: Whence knowest
thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called thee, whilst thou
wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
50 Nathaniel answered him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God,
thou art King of Israel.
51 Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said to thee
that I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou?
Thou shalt see greater things than these.
52 And he said to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, you
shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon
the Son of man.
John 2
1 And on the third day a marriage took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;
2 and Jesus also was called, and his disciples, to the
marriage.
3 And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage
feast had failed. Then said the mother of Jesus to him: They have no wine.
4 Jesus said to her: Woman, what have I to do with thee?
My hour has not yet come.
5 His mother said to the waiters: Whatever he says to you,
do.
6 And according to the purification of the Jews, there
were lying there six water vessels of stone, containing two or three baths
each.
7 Jesus says to them: Fill the water vessels with water.
And they filled them to the brim.
8 And he says to them: Draw out now, and carry to the
master of the feast. And they carried it.
9 But when the master of the feast had tasted the water
that had been made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters that drew
the water knew, the master of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 and said to him: Every man at the first sets out the
good wine; and when they have become drunk, the inferior: thou hast kept the
good wine till now.
11 This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his
disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to
13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went
up to
14 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen, and
sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers sitting;
15 and having made a scourge of cords, he drove all out of
the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and poured out the money of the
money-changers, and overturned the tables;
16 and to those that sold doves he said: Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
17 The disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for
thy house consumes me.
18 The Jews then answered and said to him: What sign showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up.
20 The Jews therefore said: Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and in three days wilt thou raise it up?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he had risen from the dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and
the word that Jesus had spoken.
23 But when he was in
24 but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he
knew all men,
25 and because he had no need that any one should testify
concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
John 3
1 But there was a man of the Pharisees, his name was
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 he came to him by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know
that from God thou hast come as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that
thou doest, unless God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to
thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the
4 Nicodemus says to him: How can a man be born when he is
old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?
5 Jesus answered: Verily, verily, I say to thee, Unless a
man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of the
heavens.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again.
8 The wind blows where it pleases, and the sound of it
thou hearest, but thou knowest
not whence it comes and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the
Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things
take place?
10 Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou the teacher of
11 Verily, verily, I say to thee, that which we know we
speak, and that which we have seen we testify, and our testimony you receive
not.
12 If I have told you earthly things and you believe not,
how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no one has ascended into heaven but he that came
down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
so must the Son of man be lifted up;
15 that every one that believes in him may have life
eternal.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whoever believes on him might not perish, but have life
eternal.
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: he that
believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
19 But the condemnation is this, that light has come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes
not to the light, lest his works may be reproved;
21 but he that does the truth comes to the light that his
works may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.
22 After this came Jesus and his disciples into the
23 But John also was baptizing in Enon
near
24 for not yet had John been cast into prison.
25 There arose therefore a discussion, on the part of some
of the disciples of John, with a Jew, about purification.
26 And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was
with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast testified, behold, he baptizes
and all come to him.
27 John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing
unless it be given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves will testify for me that I said: I am not
the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend
of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, greatly rejoices because of the
voice of the bridegroom. This my joy therefore has been fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must become less.
31 He that comes from above is over all: he that is of the
earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. He that comes from heaven
32 testifies of what he has seen and heard, and his
testimony no one receives.
33 He that has received his testimony has attested that
God is true.
34 For he whom God sent speaks the words of God; for not
by measure does he give the Spirit.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into
his hand.
36 He that believes on the Son has life eternal; he that
believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on
him.
John 4
1 When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John.
2 though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples
baptized.
3 he left Judea and went away again into
4 But he must needs go through
5 He comes therefore to a city of
6 And Jacob’s well was there. Jesus then, having been
wearied with the journey, sat thus on the well: it was about the sixth hour.
7 There comes a woman from
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city, to buy
food,
9 The woman, who was a Samaritan, says to him: How dost
thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of
10 Jesus answered and said to her: If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that says to
thee: Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given
thee living water.
11 The woman says to him: Sir, thou hast nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep: whence hast thou the living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the
well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said to her: Everyone that drinks of
this water shall thirst again;
14 but whoever shall drink of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall become in him
a fountain of water springing up to life eternal.
15 The woman says to him: Sir, give me this water, that I
thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 He says to her: Go, call thy husband and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said: I have no husband, Jesus
says to her: Well hast thou said: I have no husband;
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband. This thou hast spoken truly.
19 The woman says to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a
prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say
that in
21 Jesus says to her: Believe me, woman, that the hour
comes when neither in this mountain, nor in
22 You worship you know not what; we worship what we know,
for salvation is of the Jews;
23 but the hour comes and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father
seeks such to worship him.
24 God is spirit; and they that worship must worship in
spirit and truth.
25 The woman says to him: I know that Messiah comes, who
is called Christ: when he has come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus says to her: I that speak to thee am he.
27 And on this came his disciples, and wondered that he
talked with the woman: no one, however, said: What seekest
thou or why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman therefore left her water-pot and went away
into the city, and said to the men:
29 Come, see a man that has told me all things that I have
done; is this the Christ?
30 They went forth from the city and came to him.
31 In the meantime his disciples besought him, saying:
Rabbi, eat.
32 But he said to them: I have food to eat that you know
not of.
33 Then said the disciples one to another: Has any one
brought him food?
34 Jesus says to them: My food is to do the will of him
that sent me, and finish his work.
35 Say you not that there are yet four months, and harvest
comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and behold the fields, that they
are white for the harvest.
36 Already he that reaps receives reward and gathers fruit
for eternal life, that he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
37 For in this is the saying true, that there is one that
sows and another that reaps.
38 I have sent you to reap that on which you have not
labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him
because of the word of the woman who testified that he told me all things that
I had done.
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they
besought him to abide with them; and he abode; there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his word,
42 and said to the woman: We no longer believe because of
thy saying; for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.
43 But after the two days he went forth thence into
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor
in his own country.
45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans
received him, having seen all things that he did in
46 He came then again into Cana
of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was in
47 he, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judea into
Galilee, came to him, and besought him that he would come down and restore his
son to health; for he was about to die.
48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and
wonders, you will not believe.
49 The nobleman said to him: Sir, come down before my
child die.
50 Jesus said to him: Go, thy son lives. The man believed
the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and went.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and
told him: Thy son lives.
52 He then inquired of them the hour in which he began to
mend: they then said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 The father therefore knew that it was in that hour in
which Jesus had said to him: Thy son lives; and he himself believed and all his
house.
54 This again is the second sign that Jesus did on coming
out of Judea into
John 5
1 After this was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up
to
2 And there is in
3 In these lay a multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered.
4 [no verse]
5 But there was a man there that had been sick
thirty-eight years.
6 Jesus saw him lying, and, knowing that he had already
been sick a long time, said to him: Wilt thou be restored to health?
7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man, that when
the water is stirred he may put me into the pool; but while I am coming another
goes down before me.
8 Jesus says to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And the man was restored to health, and took up his bed
and walked; but a sabbath was on that day.
10 The Jews then said to him that had been cured: It is a sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them: He that made me well said to me: Take
up thy bed and walk.
12 They asked him: Who is the man that said to thee: Take
up and walk?
13 But the sick man knew not who he was; for Jesus had
withdrawn, as a multitude was in the place.
14 After this Jesus finds him in the temple; and he said
to him: Behold, thou hast been restored to health: sin no more, lest something
worse befall thee.
15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus
that had made him well.
16 And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because
he did these things on the sabbath.
17 But he answered them: My Father works till now, and I
work.
18 For this reason did the Jews seek the more to kill him,
because he not only broke the sabbath, but also
called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them: Verily, verily,
I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father
do; for whatever he does, these also the Son does in like manner,
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all things
that he himself does; and greater works than these will he show him, that you
may wonder.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive,
so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
22 For neither does the Father judge any one, but has
given all judicial authority to the Son,
23 that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father. He
that honors not the Son honors not the Father who sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, that he that hears my
word and believes on him that sent me has life eternal, and comes not into
condemnation, but has passed out of death into life.
25 Verily, verily, I say to you, that the hour comes, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that
hear shall live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given
to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment,
because he is the Son of man.
28 Wonder not at this, for the hour comes in which all
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 and shall come forth, those that have done good, to the
resurrection of life; those that have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation.
30 I can do nothing of myself: as I hear I judge, and my
judgment is righteous, because I seek not my will, but the will of him that
sent me.
31 If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true:
32 there is another that testifies of me, and you know
that the testimony which he testifies of me is true.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the
truth;
34 but I receive not testimony from man, but these things
I say that you may be saved.
35 He was the burning and the shining light, and you were
willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36 But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the
works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the works themselves that I
do, testify of me that the Father has sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me, he has testified of me:
neither his voice have you heard at any time, nor his shape have you seen,
38 and his word you have not abiding in you, for whom he
has sent, him you believe not.
39 You search the scriptures, because you think that in
them you have eternal life, and they are they that testify of me;
40 and yet you will not come to me that you may have life.
41 I receive not glory from men,
42 but I know you, that you have not the love of God in
you.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you receive me
not: if another should come in his own name, him you would receive.
44 How can you believe while receiving glory one from
another, and you seek not the glory that is from the only God?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there
is he that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.
46 For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed
me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how will you
believe my words?
John 6
1 After this Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee,
which is the
2 and a great multitude followed him because they saw the
signs that he did in case of the sick.
3 But Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat
with his disciples.
4 And the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great
multitude was coming to him, said to Philip: Whence can we buy bread, that
these may eat?
6 But this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he
was about to do.
7 Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii
worth of bread is not enough for these, that each one may take some little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon
Peter, says to him:
9 There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two
little fishes; but what are these among so many?
10 Jesus said: Make the men recline. And there was much
grass in the place. The men therefore reclined, in number about five thousand.
11 Jesus therefore took the loaves, and gave thanks, and
gave to those that reclined; in like manner also of the fishes as much as they
wished.
12 But when they were filled, he said to his disciples:
Gather up the broken pieces that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 They gathered them therefore, and filled twelve
traveling-baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which
remained after they had eaten.
14 The men therefore, seeing the sign that he had done, said:
This is in truth the prophet that comes into the world.
15 Jesus then, knowing that they were about to come and
seize him to make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
16 But when evening had come, his disciples went down to
the sea,
17 and having entered a ship, were going beyond the sea to
18 the sea also arose, because a great wind was blowing.
19 Having rowed therefore about twenty-five or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the ship, and they
were afraid.
20 But he said to them: It is I, be not afraid.
21 They then willingly received him into the ship, and
immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.
22 On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was no other little ship there but one, and that
Jesus had not entered the ship with his disciples, but his disciples had gone
away alone:
23 however, little ships had come from Tiberias,
near the place where they ate bread when the Lord had given thanks.
24 When, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not
there, nor his disciples, they entered the little ships and came to
25 And having found him on the other side of the sea, they
said to him: Rabbi, when earnest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said: Verily, verily, I say to
you, you seek me not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the
loaves and were filled.
27 Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food
that abides to life eternal, which the Son of man gives you; for him has God
the Father attested.
28 They said therefore to him: What must we do that we may
work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of
God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.
30 They said then to him: What doest thou then as a sign,
that we may see and believe thee; what workest thou?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written:
Bread from heaven gave he them to eat.
32 Then said Jesus to them: Verily, verily, I say to you,
Moses has not given you the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the
bread from heaven, the true.
33 For the bread which is God's is he that comes down from
heaven and gives life to the world.
34 They said therefore to him: Lord, always give us this
bread.
35 Jesus then said to them: I am the bread of life: he
that comes to me shall not hunger, and he that believes on me shall never
thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have seen and do not
believe.
37 All that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him
that comes to me I will not cast out;
38 for I have come down from heaven, not that I might do
my will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the will of him that sent me, that I shall
lose nothing of all that he has given me, but shall raise it up in the last
day.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that whoever sees
the Son and believes on him may have life eternal, and I shall raise him up in
the last day.
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he
said: I am the bread that came down from heaven;
42 and they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know? How now says this man: I have come down from
heaven?
43 Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among
yourselves.
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me
draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be
taught of God: every one that has heard from the Father and has learned, comes
to me.
46 Not that any one has seen the Father, but he that is
from God, he has seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes has life
eternal.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died:
50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven, that any
one may eat of it and not die.
51 I am the living bread, that came down from heaven: if
any one eat of my bread, he shall live forever; and the bread also that I will
give for the life of the world, is my flesh.
52 The Jews then contended one with another, saying: How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus therefore said to them: Verily, verily, I say to
you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have
no life in you.
54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life
eternal, and I will raise him up in the, last day.
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me
and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the
Father, he also that eats me even he shall live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the
fathers ate and died: he that eats this bread shall live forever.
59 These things spoke he in the synagogue as he taught in
Capernaum.
60 Therefore many of his disciples on hearing it said: A
hard saying is this: who can hear it?
61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples
murmured concerning this, said to them: Does this offend you?
62 If then you should see the Son of man ascending where
he was before?
63 The spirit is that which makes alive; the flesh profits
nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that
would deliver him up.
65 And he said: For this reason have I said to you that no
one can come to me unless it be given him of the Father.
66 From this time therefore many of his disciples went
back and walked no more with him.
67 Jesus then said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
68 Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go?
The words of eternal life hast thou;
69 and we have believed and known that thou art the Holy
One of God.
70 He answered them: Have I not chosen you twelve? and one
of you is a devil.
71 But he spoke of Judas, son of Simon Tscariot;
for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
John 7
1 After this Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not
walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 But the feast of the Jews, that of tabernacles, was
near.
3 His brothers therefore said to him: Depart hence and go
into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest;
4 for no one does any thing in secret and desires himself
to be known openly. If thou doest these things, make thyself manifest to the
world.
5 For neither did his brothers believe on him.
6 Jesus says to them: My time is not yet present, but your
time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I
testify of it that its works are evil.
8 Do you go up to the feast: I go not up to this feast,
because my time has not yet fully come.
9 Having said these things, he abode in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he
himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.
11 The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said:
Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring concerning him among the
multitude; some said: He is a good man: others said: No, but he deceives the
multitude.
13 No one, however, spoke boldly concerning him, for fear
of the Jews.
14 But now at the middle of the festival Jesus went up
into the, temple and taught.
15 The Jews therefore were astonished, saying: How knows
this man letters, not having learned?
16 Jesus then answered them and said: My teaching is not
mine, but his that sent me:
17 if any one will do his will he shall know of the
teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself.
18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: he that
seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in
him.
19 Has not Moses given you the law? and none of you does
the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered: Thou hast a demon: who seekest to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done
and you all wonder.
22 Moses has given you circumcision, not that it is of
Moses, but of the fathers, and on the sabbath day you
circumcise a man.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you
angry with me because I restored the entire man to health on the sabbath?
24 Judge not, according to appearance, but judge righteous
judgment.
25 Then said some of those of Jerusalem: Is not this he
whom they seek to kill?
26 And lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him.
Have the rulers then certainly known that this is the Christ?
27 However, we know this man, whence he is; but when the
Christ comes, no one knows whence he is.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and
saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I have not come of
myself, but he is true that sent me, whom you know not:
29 I know him, because I am from him and he sent me.
30 They therefore sought to take him, and no one laid his
hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But many of the multitude believed on him, and said:
When Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man does?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these
things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent attendants that
they might take him.
33 Therefore said Jesus: Yet a little while I am with you,
and I go to him that sent me.
34 You shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I am
you cannot come.
35 The Jews therefore said one to another: Whither does
this man intend to go, that we shall not find him? Does he intend to go among
the dispersion of the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 What means this word that he spoke: You shall seek me
and shall not find me, and where I am, you cannot come?
37 But on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture said, out of
his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 But this he spoke of the Spirit which those that
believe on him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus
had not yet been glorified.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, hearing these words,
said: This is in truth the prophet;
41 others said: This is the Christ; others said: Does the
Christ then come out of Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the
posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
43 There was therefore a division among the multitude,
because of him;
44 but some of them wished to take him; no one, however,
laid hands on him.
45 The attendants therefore came to the chief priests and
Pharisees; and they said to them: Why did you not bring him?
46 The attendants answered: Never man so spoke, as this
man speaks.
47 The Pharisees answered them: Are you also deceived?
48 Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the
Pharisees?
49 But the multitude, that knows not the law, are cursed.
50 Nicodemus, being one of them, says to them:
51 Does our law condemn the, man unless it first hear from
him and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him: Art thou also of
Galilee? Search and see that out of Galilee a prophet arises not.
[John
7:53 – 8:11 is not found in the Sinaiticus. Anderson includes instead two versions or these verses – the first
from codex D and the second a different account supposed by Griesbach
to be a very probable omission.
53 And they went each one
to his own house.
John 7
8:1 But Jesus went into
the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the
morning he comes again into the temple, and all the people came to him.
3 And the scribes and the
Pharisees bring a woman taken in sin, and having placed her in the midst.
4 the priests say to him,
tempting him, that they may have an accusation against him: Teacher, this woman
has been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now, Moses in the law
commanded us to stone such: but now what sayest thou?
6 But Jesus stooped down
and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 But as they continued
asking, he lifted himself up and said to them: Let him that is without sin
among you be the first to throw a stone at her.
8 And he again stooped
down and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 And each one of the Jews
went out, beginning from the elder, so that all went out; and he was left
alone, and the woman being in the midst. 10 And Jesus lifted himself up and
said to the woman: Where are they? Has no one condemned thee?
11 And she said to him:
No one, sir. And he said: Neither do I condemn thee; go, from this time sin no
more.
8:1 But Jesus went into
the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the
morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he
sat down and taught them.
3 And the scribes and the
Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having placed her in the
midst
4 they say to him:
Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now, in the law Moses
commanded that such should be stoned: thou therefore, what sayest
thou?
6 But this they said
tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped down
and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 And as they continued
asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them: He that is without sin among
you, let him be the first to throw the stone at her.
8 And again he stooped
down and wrote on the ground.
9 But they having heard,
and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from
the elder to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the
midst.
10 But Jesus lifted
himself up, and seeing no one but the woman, said to her: Woman, where are,
those thy accusers? Has no one condemned thee?
11 She said: No one, sir.
And Jesus said to her: Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.]
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the
Light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou testifiest of thyself: thy testimony is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: Though I testify of
myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go: you
know not whence I come or whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 And even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am
not alone, but I and he that sent me.
17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony
of two men is true.
18 I am one testifying of myself, and the Father who sent
me testifies of me.
19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus
answered: You know neither me nor my Father: if you had known me, you would
have known my Father also.
20 These words spoke he in the treasury while teaching in
the temple; and no one took him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 He therefore said again to them: I go away, and you
shall seek me, and in your sin you shall die: whither I go you cannot come.
22 The Jews then said: Will he kill himself, because he
says: Whither I go you cannot come?
23 And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from
above: you are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 Therefore said I to you that you shall die in your
sins; for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to
them: Altogether that which I also say to you.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you; but he
that sent me is true, and what I have heard from him, these things I speak unto
the world.
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus: When you shall have, lifted up the Son
of man, then you shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but
as the Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: he has not left me
alone, for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 While he was speaking these things many believed on
him.
31 Jesus then said to the Jews that believed on him: If
you abide in my word, you are my disciples in truth,
32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.
33 They answered to him: We are Abraham's posterity, and
have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest
thou: You shall become free?
34 Jesus answered them: Verily, verily, I say to you, that
every one that does sin is a servant of sin.
35 But the servant abides not in the house forever: the
Son abides forever.
36 If, then, the Son shall make you free, you shall be
free indeed.
37 I know that you are Abraham's posterity; but you seek
to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I speak what things I have seen with my Father, and you
then do what things you have heard from your father.
39 They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father.
Jesus says to them: If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works
of Abraham;
40 but now you seek to kill me, a man that has spoken to
you the truth, which I heard from God: this Abraham did not.
41 You do the works of your fathers. They said to him: We
have not been born of lewdness; we have one Father, God.
42 Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, you would
love me; for I came forth from God and have come hither: nor indeed have I come
of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why know you not my speech? because you cannot hear my
word.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and the desires of
your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not
stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks what is
false, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak the truth,
why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God hears the words of God; for this reason
you hear not, because you are not of God.
48 The Jews answered and said to him: Do we not well say
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered: I have not a demon, but I honor my
Father, and you dishonor me.
50 But I seek not my glory: there is that seeks and
judges.
51 Verily, verily, I say to you, if any one keep my word,
he shall never see death.
52 The Jews said to him: Now we know that thou hast a
demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest:
If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death:
53 art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?
And the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is
nothing; it is my Father that glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your
God;
55 and yet you have not known him, but I know him. If I
should say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him,
and his word I keep.
56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he could see my day,
and he saw it and was glad.
57 The Jews then said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years
old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you,
before Abraham came into being, I am.
59 They therefore took up stones to throw at him; but
Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
John 9
1 And passing by he saw a man blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned,
this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned nor his parents,
but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 We must work the works of him that sent us while it is
day: there comes night, when no man can work.
5 While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
6 He said these things, and spat on the ground, and made
clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
7 and said to him: Go wash in the pool of Siloam, which
is, translated. Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbors therefore, and those that had seen him
before, that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Others said that this is he; others said: No, but he is
like him. He said: I am he.
10 They therefore said to him: How were thy eyes opened?
11 He answered: The man that is called Jesus made clay and
anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to Siloam and wash. Having gone therefore
and washed, I received sight.
12 They said to him: Where is he? He says: I know not.
13 They bring to the Pharisees him that was formerly
blind.
14 And it was a sabbath on the
day in which Jesus made clay and opened his eyes.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had
received sight. He said to them: He put clay upon my eyes and I washed and do
see.
16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said: This man is not
from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others
said: How can a man a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among
them.
17 They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, because he has opened thy eyes? He
said: He is a prophet.
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that
he was blind and had received sight, till they had called the parents of him
that had received sight,
19 and asked them, saying: Is this your son, of whom you
say that he was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
20 His parents therefore answered and said: We know that
this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 but how he now sees we know not, or who opened his eyes
we know not: ask him; he is of age: he shall speak for himself
22 These things said his parents because they feared the
Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be
Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 For this reason his parents said that he is of age, ask
him.
24 They therefore a second time called the man that had
been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God: we know that this man is a
sinner.
25 He then answered: If he is a sinner, I know not: one thing
I know, that, being blind, I now see.
26 They said therefore to him: What did he for thee? How
opened he thy eyes?
27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you did
not hear: why will you hear again? Will you also become his disciples?
28 They reviled him and said: Thou art a disciple of that
man, but we are Moses' disciples:
29 we know that God spoke to Moses, but this man, we know
not whence he is.
30 The man answered and said to them: Why, in this is that
which is wonderful, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my
eyes.
31 We know that God hears not sinners, but if any one be a
worshiper of God and do his will, him he hears.
32 Never was it heard that any one opened the eyes of one
that had been born blind:
33 if this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said to him: Thou wast
altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and he found
him and said: Dost thou believe on the Son of man?
36 He answered and said: And who is he, Lord, that I may
believe on him?
37 Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him, and he it
is that talks with thee.
38 He said, Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
39 And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this
world, that those that see not may see, and that those that see may become
blind.
40 Some of the Pharisees that were with him heard, and
said to him: Are we also blind?
41 Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not
have sin; but now you say: We see: your sin remains.
John 10
1 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that enters not through
the door into the sheepfold, but goes up by some other way, he is a thief and a
robber:
2 but he that enters through the door is the shepherd of
the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice,
and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 When he puts forth all of his own sheep, he goes before
them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice;
5 but a stranger they will not follow, but flee from him,
because they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spoke Jesus to them; but they knew not what
things they were that he spoke to them.
7 Jesus therefore said: Verily, verily, I say to you: I am
the door of the sheep.
8 All as many as have come are thieves and robbers, but
the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: through me if any man enter in, he shall
be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not but that he may steal and kill and
destroy: I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his
life for the sheep:
12 he that is a hireling and not a shepherd, to whom the
sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and
the wolf seizes and scatters them,
13 because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know mine, and mine know
me,
15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay
down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one
fold, one shepherd.
17 For this reason my Father loves me, because I lay down
my life, that I may take it again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself.
Authority have I to lay it down, and authority have I to take it again: this
commandment I received from my Father.
19 There arose again a division among the Jews because of
these words.
20 Therefore many of them said: He has a demon and is mad;
why hear him?
21 Others said: These words are not of one that has a
demon: can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 But the feast of dedication was held in Jerusalem; it
was winter;
23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's
porch.
24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him: How
long dost thou keep us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered: I have told you, and you do not
believe: the works
13 t that I do in my Father's name, these 1 testify of me;
26 but you believe not, because you are not of my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me,
28 and I give them eternal life, and they shall never
perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
29 What the Father has given to me is greater than all,
and no one can snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
31 Again the Jews took up stones to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them: Many good works have I shown you
from the Father; for what one of these do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee
not, but for blasphemy, and because thou, being man, makest
thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I
said: You are gods?
35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came,
and the Scripture cannot be broken:
36 of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the
world, say you: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I
am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not;
38 but if I do, although you believe not me, believe the
works, that you may know and acknowledge that the Father is in me and I in the Father.
39 They then sought to take him, and he went forth from
their hand.
40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place
where John was first baptizing, and abode there.
41 And many came to him and said: John indeed did no sign,
but all things whatever John said of this man were true.
42 And many believed on him there.
John 11
l But a man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village
of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 And it was Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold,
he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 But Jesus hearing it, said: This sickness is not to
death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through
it.
5 Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, then
indeed he abode two days in the place where he was:
7 then after this he says to the disciples: Let us go into
Judea again.
8 The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now
sought to stone thee, arid goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day?
If any one walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of the
world:
10 if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the
light is not in him.
11 These things said he, and after this he says to them:
Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him.
12 Then the disciples said to him: Lord, if he has fallen asleep,
he shall be saved.
13 Jesus, however, had spoken of his death; but they
supposed that he spoke of the rest of sleep.
14 Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly: Lazarus is
dead;
15 and I rejoice for your sakes, in order that you may
believe, that I was not there; but let us go to him.
16 Thomas, who is called Didymus,
then said to his fellow-disciples: Let I us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus came therefore and found that he had been four
days in the tomb.
18 But Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off.
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary and
their friends, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming,
met him; but Mary sat in the house.
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
22 And now I know that whatever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
23 Jesus says to her: Thy brother shall rise.
24 Martha says to him: I know that he will rise in the
resurrection, in the last day.
25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life;
he that believes on me, though he were dead, he shall live,
26 and whoever lives and believes on me shall never die: believest thou this?
27 She says to him: Yes, Lord: I have believed that thou
art the Christ, the Son of God, he that comes into the world.
28 And after saying this she went away and called Mary her
sister secretly, saying: The Teacher is present, and calls for thee.
29 When she heard, she rose quickly and came to him;
30 but Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in
the place where Martha had met him.
31 Therefore the Jews that were with her in the house, and
were comforting her, seeing Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out,
followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb, that she might weep
there.
32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing
him, fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst
been here, my brother would not have died.
33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews
that came with her weeping, was greatly moved in spirit, and was troubled,
34 and said: Where have you laid him? They say to him:
Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Therefore said the Jews: See how he loved him.
37 But some of them said: Could not this man, that opened
the eyes of the blind man, have caused that even this man should not die?
38 Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself,
comes to the tomb; but it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus says: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of
him that had died, says to him: Lord, the smell is now offensive; for he has
been dead four days.
40 Jesus says to her: Did I not tell thee that if thou
wouldst believe thou shouldst see the glory of God?
41 They therefore took away the stone; but Jesus lifted up
his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 But I knew that thou always hearest
me; but yet, on account of the multitude that stands around, I said it, that
they may believe that thou didst send me.
43 And having said these things, he cried with a loud
voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that had been dead came forth, bound hands and
feet with swathing bands; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief.
Jesus says to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews, that had come to Mary and
had seen what he did, believed on him;
46 but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told
them what Jesus had done.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees brought
together the Sanhedrim, and said: What do we, for this man does many signs?
48 If we let him alone thus, all will believe on him; and
the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas,
being chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing,
50 neither do you consider that it is profitable for us
that one man die for the people and not that the whole nation perish.
51 But this he spoke not of himself, but, being chief
priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might gather
into one the children of God also, that were scattered abroad.
53 From that day therefore they took counsel to kill him.
54 Jesus then no longer walked openly among the Jews; but
went away thence into the country near the wilderness, to a city called
Ephraim; and there he abode with his disciples.
55 But the passover of the Jews
was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
56 They therefore sought Jesus and said among themselves
while standing in the temple: What think you, that he will not come to the
feast?
57 But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
commandments that, if any knew where he was, he should make it known, in order
that they might take him.
John 12
1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover,
came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
2 They therefore made him a supper there, and Martha
served, but Lazarus was one of those that reclined at table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of the ointment of pure nard,
very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair;
and the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was
about to deliver him up, says:
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 But this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but
because he was a thief, and having the bag he carried what was thrown in.
7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone; she bought it that
she might keep it to the day of my burial.
8 For the poor you have always with you, but me you have
not always.
9 The great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he
was there, and came not because of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus
also, whom he raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests had determined that they would
kill Lazarus also,
11 because many of the Jews, on account of him, went away
and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day a great multitude that had come to the
feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 took branches of palm-trees and went forth to meet him,
and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, and
blessed is the King of Israel.
14 But Jesus, finding a young ass, sat upon it, as it is
written:
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King comes
sitting upon the foal of an ass.
16 These things his disciples knew not at first, but when
Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things were written
of him, and that they had done these things for him.
17 The multitude that was with him therefore testified
that he had called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead.
18 For this reason also the multitude met him, because
they heard that he had done this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: You see
that you profit nothing: behold, the world has gone after him.
20 But of those that went up to worship at the feast,
there were some Greeks:
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Sir, we wish
to see Jesus.
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: Andrew and Philip come
and tell Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that
the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall
into the ground and die, itself abides alone; but if it die, it brings forth
much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates
his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me, and where I am,
there shall my servant also be: if any one serve me him will my Father honor.
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what; shall I say? Father,
save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice
from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Therefore the multitude that stood by, hearing it, said
that it thundered: others said: An angel has spoken to him.
30 Jesus answered and said: Not for my sake came this voice,
but for yours.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince
of this world be cast out,
32 and I, when I shall have been lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men to myself.
33 But this he said, signifying by what kind of death he
was about to die.
34 Then the multitude answered him: We have heard out of
the law that the Christ abides forever, and how sayest
thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man?
35 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while the
light is among you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness overtake you
not; and he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goes.
36 While you have the light, believe on the light, that
you may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus and went away and hid
himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they
believed not on him.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spoke: Lord, who of us has believed what is heard? and to whom has the
arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah
said again:
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and
should turn and I should give them health.
41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and
spoke of him.
42 Yet however, of the rulers, many believed on him, but
because of the Pharisees they did not confess, lest they should be put out of
the synagogue;
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of
God.
44 But Jesus cried and said: He that believes on me
believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 and he that sees me sees him that sent me.
46 I have come a light into the world, that whoever believes
on me may not abide in darkness.
47 And if any one hear my words and keep them not, I judge
him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejects me and receives not my words, has that
which judges him: the word that I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last
day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father who
sent me, he himself has given me commandment what I should say and what I
should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal. What
things therefore I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.
John 13
1 But before the feast of passover,
Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should go out of this world to
the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them to the
end.
2 And when supper had ended, as the devil had already put
into the heart of Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray him.
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into
his hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going to God,
4 rises from supper and lays aside his garments; and
having taken a towel, he girded himself:
5 then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash
the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was
girded.
6 He then comes to Simon Peter; he says to him: Lord, dost
thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said to him: What I am doing thou knowest not now, but thou shalt
know after this.
8 Peter says to him: Thou shalt
never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part
with me.
9 Simon Peter says to him: Lord, not my feet only, but
also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus says to him: He that has bathed has no need to
wash his hands and head, but is wholly clean; and you are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew him that would deliver him up; for this
reason he said: Not all of you are clean.
12 When therefore he had washed their feet and had taken
his garments, and reclined again at table, he said to them: Do you know what I
have done for you?
13 You call me: Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for I
am.
14 If, then, I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your
feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another;
15 for I have given you an example, that you also should
do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater
than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he that sent him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do
them.
18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but
that the scripture might be fulfilled: He that eats bread with me has lifted up
his heel against me.
19 Even now I tell you before it comes to pass, that when
it shall have come to pass you may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that receives whom I
shall send receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
21 After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in
spirit, and testified and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you
shall deliver me up.
22 The disciples looked one at another, doubting
concerning whom he spoke.
23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining
in the bosom of Jesus:
24 Simon Peter then nods to this one and says to him: Tell
who it is of whom he speaks.
25 Therefore he, leaning back thus on the breast of Jesus,
says to him: Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answers: He it is for whom I shall dip the morsel
and give it to him. Therefore, having dipped the morsel, he takes it and gives
it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
27 And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him.
Jesus therefore says to him: What thou doest, do quickly.
28 But no one of those reclining at table knew for what
purpose he said this to him;
29 for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus said to him: Buy the things of which we have need for the feast, or that
he should give something to the poor.
30 Having therefore received the morsel, he went out
Immediately; and it was night.
31 When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said: Now is the
Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him. God also will glorify him
in himself, and he will immediately glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while am I with you: you
shall seek me, and as I said to the Jews, that where I am you cannot come, to
you also I say it now.
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one
another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 In this shall all men know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
36 Simon Peter says to him: Lord. whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not
follow me now, but thou shalt follow me hereafter.
37 Peter says to him: Lord, why can I not follow thee now?
I will lay down my life for thee.
38 Jesus answered: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me?
Verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me
three times.
John 14
1 Let not your hearts be troubled: believe on God, believe
also on me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if not so, I
would have told you; for I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And when I shall have gone and prepared a place for you,
I will come again, and take you to myself, that where I am you also may be.
4 And whither I go you know the way.
5 Thomas says to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how know we the way?
6 Jesus says to him: I am he way, and the truth, and the
life: no one comes to the Father but through me. 7 If you have known me, you
shall know my Father also; and even now you know him and lave seen him.
8 Philip says to him: Lord, show us the Father, and it is
enough for us.
9 Jesus says to him: So long a time am I with you, and
hast thou not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father: how sayest thou: show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am
in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I speak not
of myself: the Father, who abides in me, does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in
me: if not, believe because of the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on me,
the works that I do he also shall do, and greater works than these shall he do
because I go to the Father.
13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, this will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask any thing in my name. I will do it.
15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And I will entreat the Father, and anther Advocate will
he give you, that he may be with you for ever,
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it sees* him not, neither knows him: you know him, because he abides
with you and shall be in you.
* Discerns or
acknowledges him not
18 I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.
19 Yet a little while and the world sees me no more; but
you shall see me; because I live and you shall live.
20 In that day you shall know that I am in my Father and
you in me and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is
that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will
love him and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas, not Iscariot, says to him: Lord, and how is it
that thou will manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he
will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and
make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not keeps not my words; and the word
that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s that sent me.
25 These things have I spoken to you while abiding with
you;
26 but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and shall bring to your
remembrance all things that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave you, my peace I give you: not as the
world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
28 You heard that I said to you: I go away and come to
you. If you loved me, you would rejoice because I go to the Father, for the
Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that
when it comes to pass you may believe.
30 No longer will I talk much with you; for the prince of
the world comes, and has nothing in me,
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and
as the Father gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away,
and every one that bears fruit, he cleanses, that it may bear more fruit.
3 You are now clean, because of the word that I have
spoken to you:
4 abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you
abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you the branches. He that abides in me
and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.
6 If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as the branch
and withers, and they gather it and throw it into the fire, and it is burned.
7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask
whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit
and become my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide
in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my
love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in
you and your joy may be fulfilled.
12 My commandment is this, that you love one another as I
have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his
life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what things I command
you.
15 I no longer call you servants, because the servant
knows not what his lord does; but I have called you friends, because An all
things that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
appointed you that you may go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should
remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me
first.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own;
but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: The servant is
not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you
also: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do to you on account of
my name, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not
have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no other
did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me
and my Father.
25 But that the word might be fulfilled which is written
in their law: They hated me without a cause.
26 When the Advocate has come, whom I will send you from
the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he shall testify
of me;
27 and you also shall testify, because you have been with
me from the beginning.
John 16
1 These things have I spoken to you that you may not be
offended.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues: indeed, the
hour comes that every one that kills you will think that he offers service to
God.
3 And these things will they do because they have not
known the Father nor me.
4 But these things I have spoken to you that when the hour
comes you may remember them, that I told you. And these things I told you not
from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks
me: Whither goest thou?
6 And yet, because I have told you these things, sorrow
has filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that
I go away. For if I go not away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I
go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will convince the world of sin, and
of righteousness, and of judgment.
9 Of sin indeed, because they believe not on me;
10 but of righteousness, because I go to the Father and
you see me no more;
11 but of judgment, because the prince of this world is
judged.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot
bear them now;
13 but when he has come, the Spirit of truth, he shall
guide you in all the truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever he
hears he shall speak, and he shall announce to you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall take of mine and
announce it to you.
15 All things whatever the Father has are mine: therefore
I said that he takes of mine and announces to you.
16 A little while, and you see me no more, and again a
little while, and you shall see me.
17 Some of his disciples therefore said one to another:
What is this that he says to us: A little while, and you see me not, and again
a little while, and you shall see me? and that 1 go to the Father?
18 They said therefore: This, what is it that he says, The
little while? We know not what he says.
19 Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to
them: Concerning this do you inquire among yourselves because I said: A little
while, and you see me not, and again a little while, and you shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that you shall weep and
lament, but the world shall rejoice: you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow
shall become joy.
21 The wife, when she is in labor, has sorrow, because her
hour has come; but when she has brought forth the child, she no longer
remembers the affliction for joy that a man has been born into the world.
22 And you therefore now indeed have sorrow; but I shall
see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from
you.
23 And in that day, of me you shall ask nothing. Verily,
verily, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you
in my name.
24 Till now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and
you shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.
25 These things I have spoken to you in parables: the hour
comes when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will tell you plainly
concerning the Father.
26 In that day you shall ask in my name, and 1 say not to
you that I will beseech the Father for you;
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have
loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the
world: again I leave the world and go to the Father.
29 His disciples say: Behold, now thou speakest
plainly, and utterest no parable.
30 Now we know that thou knowest
all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee: in this we believe
that thou earnest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour comes, and has come, that you shall be
scattered each one to his own and leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, for
the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken to you that in me you may
have peace. In the world you have affliction; but take courage, I have overcome
the world.
John 17
1 These things spoke Jesus; and, lifting his eyes to
heaven, he said: Father, the hour has come: glorify thy Son, that the Son may
glorify thee,
2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that to
all that thou hast given him he may give them life eternal.
3 But eternal life is this, that they may know thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the
work that thou gavest me to do;
5 and now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the
glory that I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine
they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have
kept thy word;
7 now they know that all things whatever thou hast given
me are from thee;
8 for the words that thou gavest
me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known in truth that
I came forth from thee, and have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those
that thou hast given me, for they are thine,
10 and all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in my name that thou hast
given me, that they may be one, as we.
12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name that thou
hast given me, and I have guarded them, and no one of them is lost but the son
of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
13 But now I come to thee, and these things I speak in the
world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them,
because they are not of the world as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou take them out of the world, but
that thou keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou didst send me into the world, I sent them into
the world;
19 and for them I sanctify myself, that they also may be
sanctified in the truth.
20 But not for these only do I pray, but also for those
that believe on me through their word,
21 that they all may be one, as thou. Father, art in me
and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that
thou didst send me.
22 And the glory that thou hast given me I have given
them, that they may be one as we are one:
23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected
into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as
thou hast loved me.
24 Father, as to what thou hast given me, I would that
they also be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which thou hast
given me because thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, though the world has not known thee,
yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me;
26 and I have made known to them thy name, and will make
it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in
them.
John 18
1 Having said these things, Jesus went forth with his
disciples beyond the brook of Cedar, where was a garden, into which he entered,
himself and his disciples.
2 But Judas, also, who delivered him up, knew the place,
because Jesus had often gone thither in company with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore, having received the band, the
attendants from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, comes thither with
torches and lamps and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming
upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek you?
5 They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to
them: I am he. But Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
6 When therefore he said to them: I am he, they went back
and fell on the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek you? And they
said: Jesus the Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered: I told you that I am he: if then ye seek
me, let these go away.
9 That the word might be fulfilled which he spoke: Of
those that thou hast given me I have lost none.
10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and
struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name
of the servant was Malchus.
11 Jesus then said to Peter: Put the sword into the
sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Therefore the band and the officer and the attendants
of the Jews took Jesus and bound him,
13 and led him to Annas first;
for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas who was chief
priest that year.
14 and it was Caiaphas that
advised the Jews that it was profitable that one man should die for the people.
15 But there followed Jesus, Simon Peter and another
disciple. And that disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and went with
Jesus into the court of the chief priest,
16 but Peter stood at the gate without. Then the other
disciple, the acquaintance of the chief priest, went in and spoke to the
doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Then the maidservant that kept the door says to Peter:
Art not thou also of the disciples of this man? He says: I am not.
18 But the servants and the attendants, having made a fire
of coals, for it was cold, were standing and warming them selves; and Peter
also was standing with them and warming himself.
19 Then the chief priest asked Jesus concerning his
disciples and concerning his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken plainly to the world:
I have always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come
together, and in secret have I spoken nothing.
21 Why dost thou ask me? Ask those that have heard what I
spoke to them: behold, these know what I said.
22 But when he had spoken this, one of the attendants that
stood by struck Jesus with his open hand, saying: Answerest
thou the chief priest thus?
23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, testify of
the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Annas then sent him, bound,
to Caiaphas the chief priest.
25 But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They
then said to him: Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied and said: I am
not.
26 One of the servants of the chief priest, being a
relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, says: Did I not see thee in the
garden with him?
27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately a cock
crew.
28 Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas
to the pretorium; and it was early morn. And they
went not into the pretorium, that they might not be
defiled, but that they might eat the passover.
29 Pilate therefore came forth to them and said: What
accusation bring you against this man?
30 They answered and said to him: If this man had not done
evil, we would not have delivered him to thee.
31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take you him and judge
him according to your law. The Jews then said to him: It is not lawful for us
to put any one to death:
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he
spoke signifying by what kind of death he was about to die.
33 Then Pilate entered the pretorium
again, and called Jesus and said to him: Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou
this of thyself, or did others tell thee of me?
35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief
priests delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my
kingdom were of this world my servants would fight, that might not be delivered
to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not hence,
37 Pilate then said to him: Art thou not then a king?
Jesus answered: Thou sayest, for I am a king. To this
end was I born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I might
testify to the truth: every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to him: What is truth? And having said
this. he went out again to the Jews, and said to them: I find no fault in him.
39 But you have a custom that I release to you one at the passover: will you therefore that I release to you the King
of the Jews?
40 They then cried out again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a
robber.
John 19
1 Pilate therefore then took Jesus and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and put it on
his head, and threw a purple garment around him,
3 and came to him and said: Hail, King of the Jews; and
they struck him with the open hand.
4 Pilate again came forth and said to them, Behold, I
bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find no fault.
5 Jesus therefore came forth wearing the crown of thorns
and purple garment. And he says to them: Behold the man.
6 Therefore when the chief priests and the attendants saw
him, they cried out: Crucify, crucify. Pilate says to them: Take you him and
crucify him; for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered: We have a law, and according to the
law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 Thereupon when Pilate heard this word, he was the more
afraid,
9 and went into the pretorium
again, and said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilate says to him: Speakest
thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have
authority to release thee and authority to crucify thee?
11 Jesus answered: Thou couldst have had no authority
against me, unless it had been given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered me to thee has the greater sin.
12 After this Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews
cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar:
every one that makes himself king speaks against Caesar.
13 Then Pilate, after hearing these words, brought Jesus
forth, and sat on the judgment-seat in a place called The Pavement, but in
Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the passover:
it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews: Behold your king.
15 They therefore cried out: Away with him, away with him,
crucify him. Pilate says to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests
answered: We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be
crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
17 and bearing the cross for himself, he went forth to a
place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha,
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on
this side and on that, but Jesus in the midst.
19 But Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross; and
it was written: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews therefore read this title, because the
place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in
Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.
21 The chief priests of the Jews then said to, Pilate:
Write not: The king of the Jews, but that he said: I am the king of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus,
took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part, and his coat.
But the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore one to another: Let us not rend it,
but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled:
They divided my garments among them, and on my raiment they cast lots. These
things therefore the soldiers did.
25 But there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and
his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and
Mary Magdalene.
26 Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple
whom he loved standing by, says to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
27 Then he says to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And
from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had been
already finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says: I thirst.
29 There lay a vessel full of vinegar: having therefore
put a sponge full of vinegar on hyssop, they put it to his mouth.
30 When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said: It
is finished; and having bowed his head, he gave up the spirit.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies might not remain on the cross during the sabbath,
for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate
that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first,
and of the other that was crucified with him;
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead,
they broke not his legs;
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and immediately there came forth blood and water.
35 And he that saw it has testified, and his testimony is
true, and he knows that he speaks what is true, that you also may believe.
36 For these things took place that the scripture might be
fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture says: They shall look on
him whom they pierced.
38 But after these things Joseph, who was of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear
of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and
Pilate gave permission. They came therefore and took him away.
39 But Nicodemus also came, he that had come to him by
night at the first, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
pounds.
40 They therefore took the body of Jesus, and bound it in
linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews to prepare for
burial.
41 But there was, in the place where he had been
crucified, a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which no one had
ever yet been laid.
42 There then because of the preparation of the Jews, for
the sepulcher was near, laid they Jesus.
John 20
1 But on the first of the week, Mary Magdalene comes to
the sepulcher early, it being yet dark, and sees the stone taken away from the
sepulcher.
2 She therefore runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them: They have taken away the
Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Thereupon Peter went forth and the other disciple, and
came to the sepulcher.
4 But the two ran together; and the other disciple outran
Peter, and came first to the sepulcher;
5 and having stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying:
however he went not in.
6 Then comes Simon Peter following him; and he went into
the sepulcher, and saw the linen cloths lying,
7 and the handkerchief, which was on his head, not lying
with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself.
8 Therefore, the other disciple also that came first to
the sepulcher then went in, and saw and believed;
9 for they not yet knew the scripture, that he must rise
from the dead.
10 The disciples then went away again to their homes.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping. Then
as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher,
12 and saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head
and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 They say to her: Woman, why weepest
thou? She says to them: They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they
have laid him. Having said these things, she turned back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus says to her: Woman, why weepest
thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that he was
the gardener, says to him: Sir, if thou hast borne him away, tell me where thou
hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus said to her: Mary. She turned and said to him in
Hebrew: Rabboni, which is called, Teacher.
17 Jesus says to her: Touch me not; for I have not yet
ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my
Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene comes and tells the disciples: I have
seen the Lord; and that he had said these things to her.
19 When therefore evening had come on that day, the first
of the week, and the doors had been closed where the disciples were for fear of
the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace to you.
20 And having said this, he showed them his hands and his
side. Thereupon the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21 He then said to them again: Peace to you; as the Father
has sent me, I also send you.
22 And having said this, he breathed on them and said to
them: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whosesoever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them;
whosesoever sins you retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, who is called Didymus,
one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
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 finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his
side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within,
and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in the
midst, and said: Peace to you.
27 Then he says to Thomas: Reach hither thy finger, and
behold my hands, and reach thy hand, and put it into my side, and be not
faithless, but believing.
28 Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus says to him: Because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that, though not seeing, have yet believed.
30 Many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book;
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.
John 21
1 After these things Jesus manifested himself to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and he manifested
himself thus.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is
called Didymus, and Nathaniel who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee,
and two others of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter says to them: I go a fishing. They say to
him: We also are going with thee. They went out and entered the ship, and on
that night they caught nothing.
4 But the morning having now come, Jesus stood on the
shore: the disciples, however, knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Jesus therefore says to them: Children, have you any
thing to eat? (beside bread). They answered him: No.
6 He says to them: Cast the net on the right side of the
ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore, and were no longer able to draw
it because of the multitude of fishes.
7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter:
It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on
his upper garment, for he was naked,* and threw himself into the sea;
* Had on only an undergarment
8 but the other disciples came with the ship (for they
were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net
of fishes.
9 Therefore when they had come to the land, they saw a
fire of coals lying, and fish lying on it, and bread.
10 Jesus says to them: Bring of the fish that you have
just now taken.
11 Simon Peter came up and drew the net to land, full of
great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three: and though there were so many, the net
was not rent.
12 Jesus says to them: Come and breakfast. But no one of
the disciples ventured to ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them,
and the fish in like manner.
14 This was now the third time on which Jesus had
manifested himself to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
15 Therefore, when they had breakfasted, Jesus says to
Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more
than these? He says to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest
that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my lambs.
16 He says to him again a second time: Simon, son of
Jonah, lovest thou me? He says to him: Yes, Lord,
thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Be a
shepherd to my sheep.
17 He says to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he had said to
him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he says to
him: Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say to you, when thou wast young thou didst gird thyself and walk whither thou
wouldst; but when thou shalt become old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee,
and carry thee whither thou wouldst not.
19 But this he spoke signifying by what kind of death he
should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him: Follow me.
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple that Jesus loved
following, who also reclined at supper on his breast and said: Lord, who is he
that delivers thee up?
21 Peter therefore, seeing this man, says to Jesus: Lord,
but what shall this man do?
22 Jesus says to him: If I will that he remain till I
come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.
23 Therefore went this saying, forth among the brethren,
that that disciple should not die; and yet Jesus did not say to him: Thou shalt not die, but: If I will that he remain till I come.
24 This is the disciple that testifies of these things,
and that wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
