DASV: John 1
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 were made by him; and
without him nothing was made that had been made.
4 In him was life, and the life
was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 A man came, sent from God, whose
name was John.
7 He came as a witness, to testify
concerning the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but came to
testify concerning the light,
9 the true light, which gives light
to everyone, coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, yet the world did not know him.
11 He came unto his own things, and
even his own people did not receive him.
12 But as many as received him, to
those who believe on his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
13 They were born, not of blood, or
of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.
14 The Word became flesh, and dwelt
among us. We have seen his glory, glory
as of the one and only son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John testified
about him, shouting, "This is the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after
me is greater than I, for he existed before me.'"
16 For from his fullness we all have
received, one gracious benefit after another.
17 For the law was given through
Moses; but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the
one and only God, who is near to the Father’s heart, he has made him known.
19 This was John’s
testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from
20 He confessed, and did not deny
it, but openly confessed, "I am not the Christ."
21 They asked him, "Who are
you then? Are you Elijah?" He replied, "I am not." "Are you
the prophet?" He answered, "No."
22 Then they said to him, "Who
are you? So that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say
about yourself?"
23 He said, "I am the voice of
one shouting in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah
the prophet said."
24 Those who were sent were from
the Pharisees.
25 Then they asked John, "Why
then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, Elijah, or the prophet?"
26 John answered them, "I
baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know,
27 he who comes after me, the strap
of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
28 These things were done in
29 On the next
day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who
takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is the one of whom I said, 'After
me comes a man who is greater than I, for he existed before me.'
31 I did not know him. This is the reason I came baptizing with water
so that he would be revealed to
32 Then John testified, "I saw
the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it remained on him.
33 I did not know him but he who
sent me to baptize with water, said to me, 'Upon whomever you see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on him, this one is he who baptizes with the Holy
Spirit.'
34 I have seen, and have testified
that this is the Son of God."
35 Again on
the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 While looking at Jesus as he
walked by, John said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
37 After his two disciples heard
him speak, they followed Jesus.
38 Jesus turned, and saw them
following; he asked them, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi
(which is translated Teacher), where are you staying?"
39 He said to them, "Come, and
see." So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him
that day. It was about four o’clock in
the afternoon.
40 One of the
two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's
brother.
41 He first found his brother
Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is
translated Christ).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus
looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be
called Cephas (which is translated Peter)."
43 On the next
day he wanted to go into
44 Now Philip was from
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said
to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets
wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 Nathanael said to him, "Can
any good thing come out of
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching,
and said concerning him, "Look, a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!"
48 Nathanael said to him, "How
do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you
were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 Nathanael responded, "Rabbi,
you are the Son of God. You are the King
of Israel."
50 Jesus said to him, "Because
I said I saw you under the fig tree, you believe? You will see greater things
than these."
51 He said to him, "Surely I
tell you the truth, you will see the heaven opened, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
DASV:
John 2
1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana
of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples were also
invited to the wedding.
3 When they had run out of wine, Jesus’
mother said to him, "They are out of wine."
4 Jesus said to her, "Woman,
what does that have to do with you and me? My hour is not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants,
"Whatever he tells you, do it."
6 Now there
were six water pots of stone set there according to the Jewish custom of
ceremonial washing, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.
7 Jesus told them, "Fill the
water pots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then he said to them, "Now
draw out some, and take it to the master of ceremonies." So they took
it.
9 When the master of ceremonies
tasted the water that had been made into wine, he did not know where it was from
(but the servants who had drawn the water knew). The master of ceremonies called
the bridegroom,
10 and said to him, "Every one
serves first the good wine, then after people have drunk, that which is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now."
11 This was the first miraculous sign
that Jesus did in Cana of Galilee. So he
revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this
he went down to
13 The Jewish Passover was at hand,
and Jesus went up to
14 He found in the temple those who
sold oxen, sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting beside their
exchange tables.
15 He made a whip of cords, and drove
out of the temple both the sheep and oxen.
He poured out the changers' money and overturned their tables.
16 To those who sold the doves he
said, "Get these things out of here.
Do not turn my Father's house into a marketplace."
17 His disciples remembered that it
was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
18 The Jews therefore
said to him, "What sign do you show us, confirming that you can
legitimately do these things?"
19 Jesus replied, "Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
20 Then the Jews said, "It
took forty-six years to build this temple and you will raise it up in three
days?"
21 But he spoke of the temple of
his body.
22 When therefore he was raised
from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they
believed the Scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
23 Now when he
arrived in
24 But Jesus did not entrust
himself to them, for he knew everyone,
25 and did not need anyone to tell
him about human nature since he knew what was in man.
DASV: John 3
1 Now there was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader in the Jewish ruling council.
2 This man came to Jesus by night,
and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for
no one can do these miraculous signs that you do, except that God is with him."
3 Jesus replied, "I tell you
the truth, except one is born again, he cannot see the
4 Nicodemus said to him, "How
can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's
womb and be born?"
5 Jesus answered, "I tell you
the truth, except one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
6 That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not be amazed that I said to
you, 'You must be born again.'
8 The wind blows wherever it wants
to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from, or where it is
going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
9 Nicodemus replied, "How can
these things be?"
10 Jesus answered, "You are
the teacher of
11 I tell you the truth, we speak about
what we know, and bear witness about what we have seen; and you do not receive
our testimony.
12 If I have told you about earthly
things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly
things?
13 No one has ascended into heaven,
except he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man.
14 Just as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
15 that whoever believes in him may
have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes on him will not perish, but
have eternal life.
17 For God did not send the Son
into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through
him.
18 He who believes on him is not
judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not
believed on the name of the one and only Son of God.
19 This is the judgment: that the
light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the
light because their works were evil.
20 For everyone who does evil hates
the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works might not be exposed.
21 But the one who does the truth
comes to the light, that his works may be clearly seen as having been done in
God."
22 After this Jesus and his
disciples came into the
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon
near to Salim, because there was a lot of water there and people were coming and
were being baptized.
24 For John had not yet been thrown
into prison.
25 There arose
a debate between John's disciples and a Jew about ceremonial washing.
26 So they came to John, and asked
him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, concerning
whom you testified, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him."
27 John replied, "No one can
receive anything, except it has been given to him from heaven.
28 You yourselves can attest that I
said, 'I am not the Messiah,' but 'I have been sent before him.'
29 He who has the bride is the
bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom that stands and hears him, rejoices
greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.
Therefore I am filled with joy.
30 He must increase, but I must
decrease.
31 The one who comes from above is
above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks from an
earthly perspective. The one who comes
from heaven is above all.
32 He testifies about what he has
seen and heard, but nobody accepts his testimony.
33 The one who has accepted his testimony
has confirmed that God is true.
34 For the one whom God has sent
speaks the words of God, for he gives him the Spirit without limits.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has
put all things into his hand.
36 The one who believes on the Son
has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but
the wrath of God remains on him."
DASV: John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the
Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize,
but his disciples),
3 he left Judea, and set out to
return to
4 But he had to pass through
5 He came to a town in
6 Jacob's well was there. Jesus
therefore, being tired from his journey, sat there by the well. It was about noon.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw
water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a
drink,"
8 for his disciples had gone into town
to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman said to him,
"How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan
woman?" (For the Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus replied, "If you knew
the gift of God, and who it is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have
asked him, and he would have given you living water."
11 The woman said to him, "Sir,
you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then can you get this living water from?
12 Are you greater than our father
Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, along with his sons and
his cattle?"
13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone
who drinks from this water will become thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks of the water
that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give will
become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
15 The woman said to him, "Sir,
give me this water, so that I will never be thirsty and will not have to come
all the way here to draw water."
16 Jesus said
to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back here."
17 The woman replied, "I have
no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right when you answered, 'I
have no husband,'
18 for you have had five husbands;
and the one whom you are living with now is not your husband. In this you have spoken correctly."
19 The woman said to him, "Sir,
I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped on this
mountain; but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where people must
worship."
21 Jesus said to her, "Woman,
believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this
mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You people worship what you do
not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and now
is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the
Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
24 God is a Spirit, and those who
worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 The woman said to him, "I
know that the Messiah is coming (who is called Christ); when he comes, he will explain
everything to us."
26 Jesus said to her, "I, the
one talking to you, am he."
27 Just then his
disciples came and they were amazed that he was talking with a woman; yet no one
said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Then the woman left her water
jug, and went away into the town. She
told the people,
29 "Come, see a man who told
me everything I ever did. This one can't
be the Messiah, can he?"
30 They left the town and were
coming to him.
31 In the meanwhile the disciples urged
him, "Rabbi, eat."
32 But he replied, "I have food
to eat that you don't know about."
33 The disciples therefore said to
each other, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"
34 Jesus said to them, "My food
is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 Do you not say, 'There are still
four months, and then comes the harvest?' Look, I tell to you, lift up your
eyes, and look on the fields, they are white, already ripe for harvest.
36 The one who reaps receives wages
and gathers fruit for life eternal, so that both the sower and the reaper may
rejoice together.
37 For in this case the saying is true,
'One sows and another reaps.'
38 I sent you to reap what you have
not worked for; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
39 From that town
many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who
testified, 'He told me everything that I ever did.'
40 When the Samaritans came to him,
they invited him to stay with them. So he
stayed there two days.
41 Many more believed because of
his word.
42 Then they said to the woman, "Now
we believe, not because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves, and
know that this is in fact the Savior of the world."
43 After the
two days he left there for
44 For Jesus himself testified that
a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 So when he came into Galilee,
the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things that he did in
46 Once again he came to Cana of
Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain government
official whose son was sick at
47 When he heard that Jesus had
come out of Judea into
48 Jesus said to him, "Unless
you see signs and wonders, you will never believe."
49 The government official said to
him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
50 Jesus replied, "Go your way,
your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he
went his way.
51 As he was going back, his
servants met him, telling him that his son was alive.
52 So he asked them the hour when
he began to get better. They told him, "Yesterday, at the one in the
afternoon the fever left him."
53 Then the father realized that it
was at that precise hour that Jesus had told him, "Your son lives." Then
he himself believed and his whole house.
54 This again was a second miraculous
sign that Jesus did after having come out of Judea into
DASV: John 5
1 After this there was a feast of
the Jews, so Jesus went up to
2 Now there is in
3 In these there lay a large
number of sick, blind, lame and paralyzed.
[Some less significant manuscripts have:
"waiting for the moving of
the water.
4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred
the water. Whoever first stepped in
after the stirring of the waters was cured, of whatever disease he had.]
5 One man who was there had his
disability for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there,
and realized that he had been there for a long time, he asked him, "Would
you like to be made well?"
7 The sick man replied, "Sir,
I have no one, when the water stirs, to put me into the pool, but while I am
coming, someone else steps down before me."
8 Jesus said to him, "Get up,
pick up your mat and walk."
9 Immediately the man was healed,
and he picked up his mat and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.
10 The Jews
said to the one who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not
lawful for you to carry your mat."
11 But he replied, "He who healed
me told me to 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
12 They asked him, "Who told
you to 'Pick up your mat and walk'?
13 But he who was healed did not know
who it was; for Jesus had slipped away since there was a crowd in that
place.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the
temple, and said to him, "Look, you have been healed, sin no more, lest a
worse thing happen to you."
15 The man went away, and told the
Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 Because of this
the Jews started harassing Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 But Jesus defended himself to
them, "My Father is working until now, so I am working too."
18 Because of this the Jews sought all
the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also claimed
that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 So Jesus answered them, "I
tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself, but what he sees the
Father doing, for whatever things he does, these the Son does too.
20 For the Father loves the Son,
and shows him everything that he himself does.
Greater works than these the Father will show him, so that you may be
astonished.
21 For as the Father raises the
dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whomever he wants
to.
22 For the Father does not judge
anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 that everyone may honor the Son,
even as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor
the Father who sent him.
24 I tell you the truth, the one
who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and will not
be condemned, but has passed from death into life.
25 I tell you the truth, the hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those
who hear will live.
26 For just as the Father has life
in himself, so he has also given the Son to have life in himself.
27 Also he has given him authority
to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28 Do not be surprised by this, for
the hour is coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will hear his
voice
29 and will come out, those who
have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to
the resurrection of condemnation.
30 By myself I can do nothing. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is fair;
because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 If I bear witness about myself, my witness is not true.
32 It is another who testifies about
me; and I know that the testimony which he gives about me is true.
33 You have sent to John, and he has
testified to the truth.
34 But I do not accept human
testimony, yet I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 He was a lamp that burned and
shined; and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 But the testimony I have is
greater than John's; for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish,
the very works that I am doing, testify about me that the Father has sent
me.
37 The Father who sent me has testified
concerning me. You have never ever heard his voice or seen his form,
38 nor do you have his word abiding
in you, because you do not believe the one whom he has sent.
39 Search the Scriptures,
because you think that in them you have eternal life; yet it is these that
testify about me.
40 But you are unwilling to come to
me that you may have life.
41 I do not accept glory from people.
42 But I know that you do not have the
love of God in you.
43 I have come in my Father's name
and you have not accepted me. If someone
else comes in his own name, you will receive that one.
44 How can you believe since you
welcome praise from each other, but you don't seek the praise that comes from
God alone?
45 Do not think that I will accuse
you to the Father; there is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have
set your hope.
46 For if you had believed Moses, you
would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 But if you do not believe his
writings, how will you believe my words?"
DASV: John 6
1 After this Jesus went across to
the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of
2 A large crowd followed him
because they saw the signs he was doing for those who were sick.
3 Jesus went up the mountain and
there he sat with his disciples.
4 Now the Passover, the feast of
the Jews, was near.
5 Jesus, lifting up his eyes, saw
a large crowd coming to him, and said to Philip, "Where can we go to buy
bread, so that these people may eat?"
6 He said this to test him, for he
knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip replied, "Two
hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to have a
little."
8 One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9 "There is a boy here who has
five barley loaves and two fishes. But
what use is that among so many people?"
10 Jesus said, "Make the
people sit down." Now there was a lot of grass in the place. So the people
sat down, numbering about five thousand men.
11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and
having given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; and did the same
with the fish, providing as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, he said
to his disciples, "Gather up the broken fragments which were left over, so
that nothing is wasted."
13 So they picked them up, and
filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over
by those who had eaten.
14 When therefore the people saw
the miraculous sign which he did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who
is to come into the world."
15 When Jesus realized that they
were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again
into the mountain alone.
16 When
evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started to
cross the sea to
18 The sea was rough because a
great wind was blowing.
19 When they had rowed about three
or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, approaching the boat. They
were terrified.
20 But he said to them, "It is
I; do not be afraid."
21 They were desirous to take him
into the boat, and immediately the boat arrived at the land where they were
going.
22 On the next day the crowd that
stood on the other side of the sea saw that there were no other boats there, except
one, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but that his
disciples had gone out alone.
23 But some boats came from
Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given
thanks.
24 When the crowd saw that neither Jesus
nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking
for Jesus.
25 When they found him on the other
side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you arrive here?"
26 Jesus replied, "I tell you
the truth, you seek me, not because you saw the miraculous signs, but because you
ate the loaves and were filled.
27 Do not work for food which
perishes, but for the food which lasts to eternal life, which the Son of Man will
give to you. For God the Father has his stamp
of approval on him."
28 They asked
him, "What must we do that we may do the works God approves of?"
29 Jesus replied, "This is the
work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent."
30 Then they said to him, "What
miraculous sign will you do so that we may see it, and believe you? What work
can you do?
31 Our forefathers ate the manna in
the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32 Jesus said to them, "I tell
you the truth, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but now my
Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is the one
who comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 They said him, "Lord, always
give us this bread."
35 Jesus replied. "I am the
bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not hunger, and whoever believes on me will
never thirst.
36 But I told you that you have
seen me and still you don't believe.
37 Everyone the Father gives me will
come to me; and whoever comes to me I will never throw out.
38 For I have come down from
heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 Now this is the will of him who
sent me, that I should not lose one of all those he has given me, but should
raise them up on the last day.
40 For this is the will of my
Father, that everyone who looks on the Son, and believes on him, should have
eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day."
41 Then Jews complained
about him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
42 They said, "Isn't this
Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he claim,
'I have come down from heaven'?
43 Jesus replied, "Don't complain
among yourselves.
44 No one can come to me, except
the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, 'They
will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father, and learns,
comes to me.
46 Not that anyone has seen the
Father, except he who is from God, he has seen the Father.
47 I tell you the truth, whoever
believes has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your forefathers ate the manna
in the wilderness and they died.
50 This is the bread that comes
down from heaven, that a person may eat it and not die.
51 I am the living bread that came
down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh, for
the life of the world."
52 The Jews argued with each other,
saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesus said to them, "I tell
you the truth, except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you have no life in yourselves.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 For my flesh is true food, and
my blood is true drink.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks
my blood resides in me, and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent
me, and I live because of the Father; so whoever feeds on me, he also will live
because of me.
58 This is the bread come down from
heaven; not like that which your forefathers ate and died; whoever eats this
bread will live forever."
59 These things he said in the
synagogue, while he taught in
60 Many of his disciples, when they
heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can accept it?"
61 But Jesus, realizing that his
disciples complained about this, said to them, "Does this offend you?
62 Then what if you should see the
Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that gives
life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are
spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you who do
not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not
believe, and who would betray him.
65 Then he said, "This is the
reason I told you that no one can come to me, except it is granted to him by
the Father."
66 After this many of his disciples
turned back, and no longer walked with him.
67 Then Jesus asked the twelve, "You
also don't want to leave, do you?"
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord,
to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 We have believed and know that you
are the Holy One of God."
70 Jesus answered them, "Did
not I choose you, the Twelve? But one of you is a devil."
71 Now he was talking about Judas
the son of Simon Iscariot, for he was the one who was going to betray him, even
though he was one of the twelve.

1 After this Jesus traveled in
Galilee, for he refused to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to
kill him.
2 Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles
was at hand.
3 So his brothers said to him, "Leave
here, and go into Judea, so that your disciples may also see the works which you
are doing.
4 For no one who wants to be
famous does anything in secret. If you do in fact do these things, show yourself
to the world."
5 For even his brothers did not
believe in him.
6 Jesus said to them, "My
time has not yet come; but your time is always present.
7 The world cannot hate you; but it
hates me because I provide evidence against it, that its deeds are evil.
8 Go up to the feast. I am not going
up to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come."
9 After saying this to them, he stayed
in
10 But after
his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up also, not publicly but secretly.
11 The Jews were looking for him at
the feast, and asked, "Where is he?"
12 There were many rumors among the
crowd about him. Some said, "He is
a good man;" others said, "Not, but he deceives the crowds."
13 Yet no one spoke openly about
him for fear of the Jews.
14 But during
the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
15 The Jews therefore were
surprised, saying, "How does this man have such learning having never had
any formal training?"
16 Jesus replied, "My teaching
is not mine, but the one who sent me.
17 If anyone desires to do God's
will, he will know my teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak only
from myself.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks
his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is
true, and there is no dishonesty in him.
19 Didn't Moses give you the law, yet
none of you keeps the law? Why do you want to kill me?"
20 The crowd answered, "You have
a demon. Who wants to kill you?"
21 Jesus replied, "I did one
work, and all of you are astonished because of it.
22 Moses has given you circumcision
(not that it was from Moses, but from the patriarchs); yet you circumcise a man
on the Sabbath.
23 If a man receives circumcision
on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with
me because I healed a man on the Sabbath?
24 Judge not according to mere appearance,
but judge with right judgment."
25 Some of those from Jerusalem
said, "Is not this the one they are wanting to kill?
26 But here he is speaking openly,
and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the leaders really know that this
is the Messiah?
27 But we know where this man is
from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."
28 Then Jesus cried out in the
temple, while teaching, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come on my own, but he who sent me
is true, whom you do not know.
29 I know him, because I am from
him, and he sent me."
30 They sought to nab him but no one
laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But many of the crowd believed in
him. They said, "When the Messiah
comes, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering
these things about him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers
to arrest him.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be
with you yet a little longer, then I am returning to him who sent me.
34 You will seek me, but will not
find me, and where I am, you cannot come."
35 Then the Jews said among
themselves, "Where will this man go that we will not find him? Will he go
to the diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What did he mean by saying, 'You
will seek me, but will not find me;' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"
37 Now on the
last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone
is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture
has said, 'from within him will flow out rivers of living water.'"
39 But he said this about the
Spirit, which they who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given,
because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Then some of
the crowd, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."
41 Others said, "This is the Messiah."
But some said, "What, will the Messiah come out of
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that
the Messiah will come from the descendants of David, and from
43 So there arose a division among
the crowd because of him.
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him,
but no one laid a hand on him.
45 Then
officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they asked them, "Why
did you not bring him here?"
46 The officers answered, "No
one has ever spoken like this."
47 Then Pharisees replied, "Are
you also deceived?
48 Have any of the religious
leaders or Pharisees believed in him?
49 But this crowd that does not know
the law is accursed."
50 Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus
before, being one of them, said to them,
51 "Our law doesn't judge a
man without first hearing from him and knowing what he does, does it?"
52 They replied, "Are you also

DASV: John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of
Olives.
2 Early in the morning he returned
to the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught
them.
3 The religious scholars and the
Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery.
They made her stand in front of them.
4 They said to him, "Teacher,
this woman was caught committing adultery.
5 Now in the law Moses commanded
us to stone such a woman. Now what do you say?"
6 They asked this attempting to
trap him, so that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped
down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 But when they kept on asking
him, he stood up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let
him cast the first stone at her."
8 Again he stooped down and wrote
on the ground with his finger.
9 When they heard this, they left
one by one, beginning from the eldest, so Jesus was left alone with the woman still
standing in the middle of the crowd.
10 Jesus stood up, and said to her,
“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11 She replied, "No one, Lord."
Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."]
12 Again Jesus
spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in the
darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 Then Pharisees said to him, "You
testify concerning yourself; so your testimony is not true."
14 Jesus replied, "Even if I testify
concerning myself, my testimony is true; for I know where I came from, and where
I am going; but you do not know where I have come from, or where I am going.
15 You judge by appearances; but I do
not judge anyone.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my
judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent
me.
17 In your law it is written that
the testimony of two people is true.
18 I testify concerning myself, and
the Father who sent me testifies concerning me."
19 Then they asked him, "Where
is your Father?" Jesus replied, "You don’t know me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father
also."
20 These words he spoke in the
treasury, as he taught in the temple. No
one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Again Jesus said to them, "I
am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
22 The Jews wondered, "Will he
kill himself? Is that why he said, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
23 Then Jesus continued, "You
are from below; I am from above. You are
of this world; I am not of this world.
24 So I told you that you will die
in your sins; unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
25 They said therefore to him, "Who
are you?" Jesus replied, "Just who I have been telling you from the
beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to
judge concerning you, but he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard
from him I declare to the world."
27 They did not realize that he was
speaking to them about the Father.
28 Then Jesus said, "When you
have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do
nothing on my own, but I speak only the things that the Father has taught
me.
29 The one who sent me is with me;
he has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 As he spoke these things, many
believed in him.
31 Then Jesus
said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain faithful to my
word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 and you will know the truth, and
the truth will make you free."
33 They objected, "We are
Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone; how can you
say, 'You will be made free'?"
34 Jesus replied, "I tell you
the truth, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
35 The slave does not remain as a
permanent part of the family; but the son remains forever.
36 If therefore the Son will make
you free, you will be truly free.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants;
yet you are trying to kill me, because my word has found no place in you.
38 I am speaking of things that I
have seen with my Father; and you also do the things you have heard from your father."
39 They
answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you
were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did.
40 But now you are trying to kill
me, a man that has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not
do this.
41 You do the works of your father."
They said to him, "We were not born illegitimately; we have one Father,
God himself."
42 Jesus replied, "If God were
your Father, you would love me; for I came from God which is why I am here. For I have not come on my own, but he sent
me.
43 Why do you not understand what I
am saying? It is because you cannot really hear my word.
44 You are of your father the
devil, and the desires of your father is what you want to do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and stands not in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he lies, he speaks from his character, for he is a liar, and the
father of lies.
45 But because I tell you the
truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you can convict me of
sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words
of God; this is why you don’t hear them, because you do not belong to God."
48 The Jews
answered, "Aren’t we correct in saying you are a Samaritan, and have a
demon?"
49 Jesus replied, "I do not have
a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 But I seek not my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he
also judges.
51 I tell you the truth, if a man
keeps my word, he will never see death."
52 The Jews said to him, "Now
we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you claim, 'If
a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death'.
53 Are you greater than our father
Abraham, who died? The prophets are dead too.
Who are you claiming to be?"
54 Jesus replied, "If I
glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me; whom you
claim is your God.
55 You do not know him; but I know
him. If I should say, I do not know him,
I would be like to you, a liar. But I
know him and obey his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see my day; and he saw it, and was glad."
57 Then Jews said to him, "You
are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?"
58 Jesus replied, "I tell you
the truth, before Abraham was even born, I am."
59 Then they picked up stones to throw
at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the temple.
DASV: John 9
1 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man
blind from birth.
2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi,
who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3 Jesus answered, "Neither
this man nor his parents sinned; it happened so that the works of God might be revealed
in him.
4 We must do the works of him who
sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world."
6 After having said this, he spat
on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and smeared the mud on his eyes.
7 He told him, "Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam (which is translated, "Sent"). So he went away,
washed and returned seeing.
8 Then the neighbors
and those who saw him before, when he was a beggar, asked, "Is not this the
man who used to sit and beg?"
9 Others said, "It is he."
Others said, "No, but he looks like him." But he insisted, "I am
he."
10 So they kept asking him, "How
then were your eyes opened?"
11 He answered, "The man that is called Jesus made mud, and smeared
it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash'. So I went and washed, and
I received my sight."
12 They asked him, "Where is
he?" He responded, "I don't know."
13 They brought
to the Pharisees the one who had formerly been blind.
14 Now the day when Jesus made the
mud and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.
15 Then the Pharisees also asked
him how he received his sight. He told them, "He put mud on my eyes, I
washed, and now I see."
16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This
man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." But others
said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such miraculous signs?" There
was division among them.
17 So they asked the blind man
again, "What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?" He replied,
"He is a prophet."
18 The Jews refused
to believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they
called the parents of the man who had received his sight.
19 They asked them, "Is this
your son, who you allege was born blind? How then is he able to see now?"
20 His parents replied, "We
know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.
21 But how he now is able to see,
we don't know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he is of age. He can speak for himself."
22 His parents said these things
because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if
anyone should confess Jesus to be the Messiah, he would be put out of the
synagogue.
23 That is why his parents said, "He
is of age, ask him."
24 So they
called the man who was blind a second time, and told him, "Give glory to
God. We know that this man is a sinner."
25 He answered, "Whether he is
a sinner, I don't know; one thing I do know: that once I was blind, now I see."
26 They said to him, "What did
he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27 He replied, "I told you already,
and you didn't listen. Why do you want
to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?"
28 Then they ridiculed him saying, "You
are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God has spoken to
Moses; but as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."
30 The man answered, "Why, this
is amazing, that you don't know where he comes from, and yet he opened my
eyes.
31 We know that God does not listen
to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God and does his will, God listens
to him.
32 Never since the world began has it
ever been heard that someone opened the eyes of a man born blind.
33 If this man were not from God,
he could do nothing."
34 They answered, "You were totally
born in sins, and you dare teach us?" Then they threw him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown
him out. After finding him, he asked, "Do
you believe on the Son of Man?"
36 He asked, "And who is he, sir,
that I may believe in him?"
37 Jesus told him, "You have
seen him and he is talking with you."
38 He said, "Lord, I believe."
And he worshipped him.
39 Then Jesus said, "For
judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and those
who see may become blind."
40 Some of the Pharisees who were
with him heard these things, and said to him, "Certainly we are not blind,
are we?"
41 Jesus said to them, "If you
had been blind, you would have no sin; but now you claim, 'We see,' so your sin
remains."
DASV: John 10
1 "I tell you the truth, whoever
enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way is a
thief and a robber.
2 But the one who enters in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens; and
the sheep hear his voice. He calls his
own sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 When he has brought out all his
own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize
his voice.
5 They will not follow a stranger,
but will flee from him because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
6 This parable Jesus spoke to them. But they did not understand what he was
talking about.
7 Then Jesus
said to them again, "I tell you the truth, I am the door for the
sheep.
8 All who came before me were
thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and
will go in and go out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes only to steal, kill
and destroy. I came so 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 The hired hand, who is not a
shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the
sheep and runs away, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them.
13 He runs away because he is a
hired hand, and does not really care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my
own and my own know me,
15 even as the Father knows me, and
I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 Other sheep I have, which are
not from this sheepfold. I must also bring them, and they will listen to my
voice; and they will become one flock under one shepherd.
17 The Father loves me because I
lay down my life, so that I may take it up again.
18 No one takes it away from me,
but I lay it down voluntarily. I have the power to lay it down, and I have
power to take it up again. This commandment I have received from my Father."
19 There was another
division among the Jews because of these words.
20 Many of them said, "He has
a demon, and is out of his mind. Why do
you listen to him?
21 Others said, "These are not
the words of one possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
22 It was time for the Feast of the
Dedication [Hanukkah] at Jerusalem in the winter.
23 Jesus was walking in the temple area
in Solomon's Portico.
24 The Jews surrounded him, and
said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah,
tell us plainly."
25 Jesus replied, "I told you
and you did not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name testify about
me.
26 But you do not believe, because
you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice; I know
them and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life; and
they will never perish. No one can
snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's
hand.
30 I and the Father are one."
31 The Jews picked up stones again
to stone him.
32 Jesus asked them, "I have
showed you many good works from the Father; for which of those works are you
stoning me?"
33 The Jews replied, "We are
not stoning you for a good work, but for blasphemy; because you who are just a
man, claim to be God.
34 Jesus answered them, "Is it
not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?"
35 If those to whom the word of God
came were called 'gods,' and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36 can you say about him, whom the
Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'you are blaspheming,' because I
said, 'I am the Son of God'?
37 If I do not do the works of my
Father, then don't believe me.
38 But if I do them, though you
don't believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that
the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
39 They tried again to arrest him
but he escaped out of their hand.
40 He went away again across the
Jordan River into the place where John had been first baptizing, and he stayed
there.
41 Many came to him and said, "John
performed no miraculous sign, but everything John spoke concerning this man was
true."
42 And many believed in Jesus
there.
DASV: John 11
1 Now a certain man, Lazarus of
Bethany, from the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 It was Mary, who had anointed
the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus
was sick.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus,
saying, "Lord, he whom you love is sick."
4 But when Jesus heard it, he
said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the
Son of God may be glorified by it."
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, her
sister and Lazarus.
6 When therefore he heard that he
was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Then after
this he said to the disciples, "Let's go to back to Judea."
8 But the disciples objected, "Rabbi,
the Jews were just trying to stone you; and you want to go back there again?"
9 Jesus replied, "Are there
not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he won't stumble,
because he sees the light of this world.
10 But if someone walks in the
night, he will stumble, because the light is not in him."
11 After saying these things he
told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may
wake him up."
12 Then the disciples responded, "Lord,
if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Now Jesus had spoken about his
death; but they thought that he meant just normal sleep.
14 Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus
is dead.
15 But I am glad for your sakes
that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let's go to him."
16 Thomas, called Didymus [meaning
Twin], said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go too, so that we may die
with him."
17 Now when
Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, less
than two miles away.
19 Many of the Jews had come to
Martha and Mary, to console them over the loss of their brother.
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was
coming, she went and met him. But Mary remained
sitting in the house.
21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord,
if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But even now I know that,
whatever you ask from God, God will give it to you."
23 Jesus said to her, "Your
brother will rise again."
24 Martha replied, "I know
that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the
resurrection and the life. Whoever
believes in me will live even if he dies.
26 Whoever lives and believes in me
will never die. Do you believe this?"
27 She replied, "Yes, Lord. I
believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the
world."
28 After she
said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The
Teacher is here, and is asking for you."
29 When she heard it, she got up
quickly and went to him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into
the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
31 The Jews then who were with her
in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw that Mary got up quickly
and went out, followed her, assuming that she was going to the tomb to weep
there.
32 Mary therefore, when she came to
where Jesus was and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord,
if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping,
he was deeply moved in his spirit and disturbed.
34 He asked, "Where have you
laid him?" They replied, "Lord, come and see."
35 Jesus wept.
36 So the Jews said, "See how much
he loved him!"
37 But some of them said, "Could
not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man from
dying?"
38 Then Jesus,
deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was set across
its entrance.
39 Jesus said, "Remove the
stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by
this time there will be a stench because he has been dead for four days."
40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't
I tell you, that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
41 So they removed the stone. Then
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and prayed, "Father, I thank you that you have heard
me.
42 I knew that you always listen to
me; but I said it because of the crowd that stands here, that they may believe
that you have sent me."
43 After he said this, he cried
with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 He who was dead came out, bound
hand and foot with grave clothes; and his face was wrapped with a headcloth.
Jesus told them, "Loose him, and let him go."
45 So many of the Jews, who had come
to Mary and saw what he did, believed in him.
46 But some of
them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the
Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we going to do? This man
is performing many miraculous signs.
48 If we let him go on like this, everyone
will believe in him. Then the Romans
will come and take away both our holy place and our nation."
49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who
was high priest that year, said to them, "You don't know anything.
50 You don't realize that it is better
for you that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should
be destroyed."
51 Now he said this not from
himself; but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die
for the nation;
52 and not for the nation only, but
that he might also gather together into one the children of God scattered
abroad.
53 So from that day on they plotted
how they might put him to death.
54 As a result
Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the
country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was
at hand. Many went up from the country to
Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 They were looking for Jesus, and
spoke to each other, as they stood in the temple area, saying, "What do
you think? He won't come to the feast, will he?
57 Now the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given orders, that if anyone knew where he was, they should inform
them, so that they might arrest him.
DASV: John 12
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus
came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 So they prepared a dinner for
him there. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with
him.
3 Then Mary took a twelve-ounce
jar of expensive perfume made of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and
wiped his feet with her hair. The house
was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his
disciples, who would betray him, complained,
5 "Why was this perfume not sold
for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
6 Now he said this, not because he
cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and took care of the
disciples’ moneybag, and he used to steal some for himself from what was put in
it.
7 Then Jesus said, "Leave her
alone, for she did this for my burial day.
8 For you always have the poor with
you; but me you do not always have."
9 When a crowd
of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only for Jesus' sake, but
so that they might see Lazarus too, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Now the chief priests were
planning to put Lazarus to death as well,
11 because on account of him many
of the Jews were deserting and believing in Jesus.
12 The next day a large crowd had come to the feast when they heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 They took the branches from palm
trees, and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who
comes in the name of the Lord, blessed is the King of Israel."
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey,
sat on it, as it is written,
15 "Fear not, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's
colt."
16 His disciples did not understand
these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered
that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things
to him.
17 The crowd that was with him when
he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, told others
about it.
18 Because they heard that Jesus
had done this miraculous sign, the crowd went out and met him.
19 Then Pharisees said among
themselves, "Look, you can’t do anything for the world has gone after him."
20 Now there
were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 These approached Philip, who was
from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22 Philip went and told Andrew; then
Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, "The hour is
come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
24 I tell you the truth, unless a
grain of wheat fall into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies,
it produces much fruit.
25 Whoever loves his life will lose
it; and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for life
eternal.
26 If anyone wants to serve me, he
must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be as well; if anyone
serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Now is my soul troubled. What should I say? Father, save me from this
hour. But this is the very reason I have come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name."
Then a voice out of heaven said, "I have both glorified it, and will
glorify it again."
29 The crowd standing there heard
it, but thought it had thundered. Others
said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 Jesus answered, "This voice
has come for your benefit, not mine.
31 Now is the judgment of this
world; now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from
the earth, will draw all people to myself."
33 He said this, indicating by what
manner of death he would die.
34 The crowd
answered him, "We have heard from the law that
the Christ remains forever so how can you claim, 'The Son of Man must be lifted
up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 Jesus replied, "Yet a
little while the light will be with you. Walk while you have the light, so that
darkness does not overtake you. The one
who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the light,
believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus
spoke, then he left and hid from them.
37 Even though
he had done so many signs in front of them, still they did not believe in him.
38 This was so the word of Isaiah
the prophet would be fulfilled when he said, "Lord, who has believed our
report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
39 For this reason they could not
believe, for Isaiah also said,
40 "He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts; so that they would not see with their eyes, understand
with their heart and turn, and I would heal them."
41 Isaiah said these things,
because he saw his glory and spoke about him.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the
rulers believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it
publically, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
43 For they loved the praise of men
more than praise from God.
44 Then Jesus
cried out, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who
sent me.
45 and whoever sees me sees him who
sent me.
46 I have come as a light into the
world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 If anyone hears my sayings, and does
not keep them, I do not judge him. For I
did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 The one who rejects me, and does
not receive my sayings, has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken
will judge him on the last day.
49 For I did not speak from myself;
but the Father who sent me, he has given me a commandment about what I should
say and what I should speak.
50 I know that his commandment is
life eternal. The things therefore which
I speak, are just what the Father has told to me to say."
DASV: John 13
1 Now just before the feast of the
Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to his
Father. Having loved his own who were in
the world, he loved them to the end.
2 During supper, the devil had
already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.
3 Jesus, realizing
that the Father had given all the things into his hands, and that he had come
from God, and was going back to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside
his outer garments, took a towel and tied it around himself.
5 Then he poured water into a
basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them dry with the
towel that he had wrapped around him.
6 When he came
to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
7 Jesus replied, "You don't
understand what I'm doing now; but you will understand it later."
8 Peter said to him, "You will
never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "If I don't wash you, you have
no part with me."
9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord,
not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
10 Jesus replied, "One who has
bathed needs only to wash his feet, to be totally clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of
you."
11 For he knew who was going to
betray him; which is why he said, "All of you are not clean."
12 So when he
had washed their feet, he put on his clothes, and sat down again. He said to them, "Do you realize what I
have done to you?
13 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord,'
and you are right; for that is what I am.
14 If I then, the Lord and the
Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example,
that you should do just as I have done to you.
16 I tell you the truth, a servant
is not greater than his master; neither is a messenger sent greater than the
one who sent him.
17 If you understand these things,
blessed are you if you do them.
18 I am not speaking about all of
you; I know the ones I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled
that says: 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'
19 I am telling you this before it happens,
so that when it comes to pass, you may believe that I am he.
20 I tell you the truth, anyone who
receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who
sent me."
21 After Jesus had said this, he
was troubled in spirit, and testified, "I tell you the truth, one of you will
betray me."
22 The disciples looked at each
other, wondering whom he was talking about.
23 There was at the table reclining
next to Jesus, one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him to
ask Jesus who he was talking about.
25 So he, leaning back next to Jesus,
asked him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Jesus replied, "It is the
one to whom I give this piece of bread." So when he had dipped the piece
of bread, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 After Judas had taken the piece
of bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you are
going to do, do quickly."
28 Now no one at the table knew why
he said this to him.
29 Some thought that because Judas
had the moneybag, that Jesus said to him, "Buy whatever we need for the
feast", or that he should give something to the poor.
30 So after he had received the piece
of bread he went out immediately. Now it was night.
31 When
therefore he had gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and
God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, he
will glorify him in himself and will glorify him right away.
33 Children, I will be with you
just a little while longer. You will seek me and as I said to the Jews, 'Where
I go, you cannot come', so now I am telling you.
34 A new
commandment I am giving you, that you love one another; just as I have loved
you, you also should love one another.
35 By this all people will know
that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord,
where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot
follow me now; but you will follow afterward."
37 Peter said to him, "Lord,
why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
38 Jesus replied, "Will you
lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, the rooster will not crow, until
you have denied me three times."
DASV: John 14
1 "Do not let your hearts be
troubled. You believe in God, believe
also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many dwellings. If it were not so, I would have told you; because
I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and get you; that where I am, you may be also.
4 And you know the way to where I am
going."
5 Thomas asked
him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
6 Jesus replied, "I am the
way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father, except through
me.
7 If you had known me, you would
have known my Father also; from now on you know him, and have seen him."
8 Philip said
to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied."
9 Jesus replied, "Have I been
with you so long, and yet you still don't know me, Philip? He who has seen me
has seen the Father. How then can you say,
'Show us the Father'?
10 Don't you believe that I am in
the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not
from myself, but the Father who lives in me does his works.
11 Believe me that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me just because of the miraculous
works' themselves.
12 I tell you the truth, whoever
believes on me, the works that I do he will do also; and he will do even greater
works than these because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you
ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in my name, I
will do it.
15 If you love me, you will obey my
commandments.
16 And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will be with you forever;
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive; for it does not see him or know him. You know him; for he lives with you, and will
be in you.
18 I will not abandon you as
orphans; I will come to you.
19 In a little while, the world will
see me no more; but you will see me; because I live, you too will live.
20 In that day you will know that I
am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.
21 The one who has my commandments,
and obeys them, that one loves me and the one who loves me will be loved by my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
22 Judas (not Judas
Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you intend to
manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23 Jesus replied, "If someone
loves me, he will obey my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come
to him, and make our residence with him.
24 The one who does not love me does
not obey my words. The word you hear is
not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 I have spoken these things to
you, while I am still with you.
26 But the Advocate, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and
bring to your remembrance everything that I told you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace
I give to you. I am not giving it to you as the world gives it. Don't let your
heart be troubled or afraid.
28 You heard how I said to you, I am
going away, but I will come back to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice,
because I go to the Father; because the Father is greater than I.
29 Now I have
told you before it happens, so that when it takes place, you may believe.
30 I will not speak with you much
longer, for the prince of the world is coming.
He has no power over me,
31 but I am doing what the Father
commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let's get
out of here."
DASV: John 15
1 "I am the true vine, and my
Father is the gardener.
2 Every branch in me that bears
not fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, so that
it will bear more fruit.
3 Already you are clean because of
the word I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, except it remain in the vine; neither
can you, unless you remain in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the
branches. The one who remains in me, and
I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If a man does not remain in me,
he is thrown away like a branch, and withers.
They gather them up, and throw them into the fire and are burned up.
7 If you remain in me, and my
words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
8 By this my Father is glorified,
that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
9 As the
Father has loved me, I also have loved you; remain in my love.
10 If you obey my commandments, you
will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain
in his love.
11 I have told you these things so that
my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 This is my commandment: love one
another, just as I have loved you.
13 No one has greater love than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what
I command you.
15 No longer do I call you
servants; for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for everything
that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose me, but I
chose you. I appointed you to go and
bear fruit. Your fruit will last because
whatever you will ask from the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
17 These things I command you, so that
you will love one another.
18 If the
world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you belonged to the world,
the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the
world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I told
you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they
will persecute you too. If they have
obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.
21 But they will do all these
things to you for my name's sake, because they do not know the one who sent
me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to
them, they would have no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me, also hates my
Father.
24 If I had not done among them the
works which no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me
and my Father.
25 But this happened to fulfill the
word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
26 But when
the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who comes from the
Father, he will testify about me.
27 You also will testify, because you
have been with me from the beginning."
DASV: John 16
1 "I have spoken all these
things to you, so that you will not fall away.
2 They will put you out of the
synagogues; yet the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is
offering service to God.
3 They will do these things,
because they have not known the Father or me.
4 But I am telling you these
things, so that when the time comes, you may remember how I told you about them.
I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with
you.
5 But now I am going to him who
sent me; and none of you is asking me, 'Where are you going'?
6 But because I have told you these
things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the
truth, it is beneficial for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Advocate
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convict
the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe
in me;
10 of righteousness, because I go
to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 of judgment, because the prince
of this world has been condemned.
12 I still have many things to tell
you, but you cannot handle them now.
13 However, when the Spirit of
truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak on his own authority;
but whatever he hears, he will speak; and he will tell you about what is to
come.
14 He will glorify me, for he will receive
it from me, and will declare it to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is
mine; that is why I said that he will receive it from me, and declare it to
you.
16 A little
while, and you will no longer see me; and again a little while, and you will
see me."
17 Then some of his disciples said to
each other, "What does he mean, 'A little while, and you will not see me;
and again in a little while, you will see me'; and 'because I am going to the
Father'?"
18 Then they said, "What does
he mean, 'A little while'? We don't know what he is talking about."
19 Jesus perceived that they wanted
to ask him, so he said to them, "Are you asking each other about what I
said, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you
will see me'?
20 I tell you the truth, that you
will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but
your sorrow will be turned to joy.
21 When a woman is in labor she has
pain, because her hour has come; but when she has given birth to her child, she
does not remember the suffering, because of the joy that a baby has been born
into the world.
22 But you now have sorrow; but I
will see you again, then your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy
away from you.
23 In that day you will not ask me anything.
I tell you the truth, if you will ask anything of the Father in my name, he
will give it to you.
24 So far you have not asked for
anything in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made complete.
25 I have told you these things in figures
of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in abstruse
figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 In that day you will ask in my
name. I am not telling you that I will ask
the Father on your behalf;
27 for the Father himself loves
you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the
Father.
28 I came from the Father, and have
come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going back to the
Father."
29 His
disciples said, "See, now you are speaking plainly and not with abstruse
figures.
30 Now we know that you know all
things, and do not need to have anyone ask you anything. Because of this we believe that you came from
God."
31 Jesus replied, "Do you now
believe?
32 The hour is coming, indeed has
come already, when you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and I will
be left alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 I have told you these things,
that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble; but take
courage, I have overcome the world."
DASV: John 17
1 After having spoken these things,
Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come;
glorify your son, so that the son may glorify you,
2 just as you gave him authority
over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all those you have given
him.
3 This is life eternal, that they
should know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4 I glorified you on the earth by
finishing the work you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify me beside you
with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.
6 I revealed
your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me; and
they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that everything you
have given me is from you,
8 for the words which you gave me
I have given to them; and they received them, and know for sure that I came
from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
9 I pray for them. I pray not for
the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10 Everything that is mine is yours,
and yours is mine, and I am glorified by them.
11 I am no longer in the world, yet
these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, by your name watch
over those you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
12 While I was with them, I watched
over them by your name which you have given me.
I guarded them so that not one of them was lost except the son of destruction,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I am coming to you; and I
am saying these things in the world, that they may have my joy made complete in
themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and
the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world.
15 I pray not that you should take
them out the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.
16 They do not belong to the world even
as I do not belong to the world.
17 Consecrate them by the truth;
your word is truth.
18 Just as you sent me into the
world, so I sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I consecrate
myself, that they also may be consecrated by the truth.
20 I do not
pray for these only, but also for those who will believe on me through their
word,
21 that all of them may be one; just
as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they may also be in us; that the
world may believe that you have sent me.
22 The glory you have given me I have given them; that they may be
one, just as we are one.
23 I in them and you in me that
they may be brought into perfect unity; that the world may know that you sent
me, and love them, just as you love me.
24 Father, I desire that those you
have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, that you have
given me; for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world does
not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me.
26 I have made known your name to
them, and will make it known; so that the love with which you loved me may be
in them, and I in them."
DASV: John 18
1 After Jesus had spoken these
words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley. He and his disciples entered the garden there.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also
knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 So Judas brought a band of
soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They approached with lanterns, torches and
weapons.
4 Then Jesus, who knew everything
that was going to happen to him, went out, and asked them, "Who are you
looking for?"
5 They answered, "Jesus of
Nazareth." Jesus replied, "I am he." Judas who betrayed him was also
standing with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, "I
am he," they moved back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, "Who
are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8 Jesus answered, "I told you
that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these others go."
9 He said this so that the word
might be fulfilled which he spoke, "I have not lost a single one of those
whom you have given me."
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword,
drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now
the servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then Jesus told Peter, "Put
your sword back into the sheath; must I not drink the cup the Father has given to
me?"
12 So the band of soldiers, the commander
and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him.
13 First they led him to Annas; for
he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Now Caiaphas was the one who
gave counsel to the Jews that it was beneficial that one person should die for
the people.
15 Simon Peter and another disciple
followed Jesus. Now the high priest knew that disciple, so he entered with
Jesus into the court of the high priest.
16 But Peter was standing outside
the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and
spoke to the woman who kept the door, and brought Peter in.
17 The servant girl who kept the
door asked Peter, "You're not one of this man's disciples too, are you? He
said, "No, I'm not."
18 Now the servants and the
officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire; for it was cold; and
they were warming themselves. Peter also
was with them, standing there warming himself.
19 The high priest asked Jesus about
his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, "I have
spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues, and in the
temple, where all the Jews gather. I
have said nothing in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who
have heard me, what I spoke to them. They
know what I said."
22 When he said this, one of the
officers standing by slapped Jesus' face, saying, "Is this how you answer
the high priest?"
23 Jesus replied, "If I have said
something wrong, testify proving it wrong. But if I spoke what was right, why did
you slap me?"
24 Annas therefore sent him bound
to Caiaphas the high priest.
25 Now Simon
Peter was standing warming himself. Then they asked him, "Are you not one
of his disciples?" He denied it, "No, I'm not."
26 One of the high priest's servants,
being a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I
see you in the garden with him?"
27 Then Peter denied again, and immediately
the rooster crowed.
28 Then they
led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's palace. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's
palace, so that they would not become ritually defiled but be able to eat the Passover.
29 Then Pilate went out to them,
and said, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"
30 They replied, "If this man
were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you."
31 Then Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge
him according to your law." But the Jews replied, "It is not lawful
for us to put someone to death."
32 This fulfilled the word Jesus had
spoken, indicating what kind of death he would die.
33 Then Pilate
entered again into the governor's palace, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are
you the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus replied, "Are you
asking this for yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35 Pilate answered, "I am not
a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom
is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants
fight, to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from here."
37 Then Pilate asked him, "Are
you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. This is
why I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world, to testify to
the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."
38 Pilate said to him, "What
is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and told
them, "I find no criminal charge against him.
39 But you have a custom, that I
should release a prisoner to you at the Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of
the Jews?"
40 They cried out again, "Not
this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a bandit.
DASV: John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had
him severely beaten.
2 The soldiers twisted together a
crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple robe.
3 They came to him, and said, "Hail,
King of the Jews!" They repeatedly struck him in the face.
4 Then Pilate went out again, and
said to them, "Look, I bring him out to you to let you know that I find no
criminal charge against him."
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the
crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here
is the man!"
6 When the chief priests and
officers saw him, they shouted out, "Crucify him, crucify him!"
Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find no
criminal case against him."
7 The Jews answered him, "We
have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son
of God."
8 When Pilate
heard this accusation, he was even more afraid.
9 So he entered into the governor's palace again, and asked Jesus, "Where
are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to him, "Do
you not answer me? Don't you realize that I have power to release you and to
crucify you?"
11 Jesus replied, "You would
have no power against me, except it were given to you from above. Therefore the one who has handed me over to you
is guilty of a greater sin."
12 After this Pilate sought to
release him; but the Jews shouted out, "If you release this man, you are
not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes
himself a king opposes Caesar."
13 When Pilate heard these words,
he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Stone
Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabbatha).
14 Now it was about noon on the day
of the preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the Jews, "Look,
your King!"
15 Then they shouted out, "Away
with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"
Pilate asked them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests
answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to
them to be crucified.
17 So they took Jesus and carrying the cross by himself, he went to the
place called "The Place of the Skull," or as it is called in Aramaic,
Golgotha.
18 There they crucified him, along
with two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate wrote an inscription and
put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
20 This inscription was read by many
of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city and it
was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
21 Then the chief priests of the
Jews complained to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but only that
he claimed, 'I am King of the Jews'."
22 Pilate replied, "What I
have written, I have written."
23 Then the soldiers, when they had
crucified Jesus, took his garments and divided them into four parts, one for each
soldier and also the robe. Now the robe
was seamless, woven into a single piece.
24 So they said to each other, "Let
us not tear it, but cast lots for who will get it." This was done that the
Scripture might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them, and for
my clothes they cast lots."
25 So that is
what the soldiers did. Now there were standing by the cross of Jesus his
mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother, and standing
by her was the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, look,
here is your son!"
27 Then he said to the disciple, "Look,
here is your mother!" From that hour on the disciple took her to his own
home.
28 After this
Jesus knew that all things were now completed, and so that the Scripture might
be fulfilled he said, "I thirst."
29 There was a jar of sour wine
there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop, and held it up to
his mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the wine,
he said, "It is finished." Then he bowed his head and gave up his
spirit.
31 Then, because it was the day of preparation, the Jews did not
want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a special
high day. So they asked Pilate to have their
legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Then soldiers came and broke the
legs of the first, then the other that was crucified with him.
33 When they came to Jesus, they
saw that he was dead already, so they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 The one who saw this has
testified, and his witness is true and he knows that what he said is true, so that
you also may believe.
36 For these things happened, that
the Scripture might be fulfilled, "None of his bones will be broken."
37 Again another Scripture says, "They
will look on the one whom they have pierced."
38 After these
things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because
of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus.
Pilate gave him permission so he came and took away his body.
39 Nicodemus also came, who had first
come to him at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about seventy-five
pounds.
40 So they took the body of Jesus,
and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the burial customs
of the Jews.
41 Now at the place where he was crucified
there was a garden; and in the garden there was a new tomb where no one had
ever been laid.
42 Since it was the Jews' day of preparation,
for the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
DASV: John 20
1 Now on the first day of the week
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the
stone taken away from the entrance.
2 So she ran and came to Simon
Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have
taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."
3 Then Peter and the other
disciple went toward the tomb.
4 They both ran together, and the
other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb.
5 After stooping and looking in,
he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter also arrived,
following him, and he entered the tomb.
He saw the linen wrappings lying there,
7 and the face cloth, that was on
his head, lying there but not with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a separate
place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, also went in,
and saw and believed.
9 For they still did not
understand the Scripture, that Jesus must rise from the dead.
10 So the
disciples went away again to their places of residence.
11 But Mary was standing outside at
the tomb weeping. As she wept, she
stooped down and looked into the tomb.
12 She saw two angels robed in
white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had been lying.
13 They asked her, "Woman, why
are you weeping?" She replied, "Because they have taken away my Lord,
and I don't know where they have laid him."
14 When she had said this, she
turned back, and saw Jesus standing, but she didn't realize that it was
Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, "Woman,
why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, assuming he was the
gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have taken him somewhere, tell me
where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni," which means, "Teacher."
17 Jesus said to her, "Don't
cling to me; for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go to my brothers, and tell
them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God."
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the
disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that he had said these things
to her.
19 When it was
evening, on that day, the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where
the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and
said to them, "Peace be to you."
20 After he said this, he showed
them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw
the Lord.
21 Then Jesus said to them again, "Peace
be to you. As the Father has sent me, so
I am sending you."
22 After he had said this, he
breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone's sins,
they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained."
24 But Thomas,
one of the twelve, called Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 So the other disciples said to
him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see
in his hands the nail prints, and put my hand into his side, I will not
believe."
26 After eight days his disciples
were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being
shut, and stood among them, and said, "Peace be to you."
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach
here your finger, and see my hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into
my side. Don't be faithless but believe."
28 Thomas exclaimed, "My Lord
and my God."
29 Jesus said to him, "Because
you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed
are those who have not seen, and yet believed."
30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs
in the presence of the disciples, that are not written in this book.
31 But these are written, that you
may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing you
may have life in his name.
DASV: John 21
1 After these things Jesus revealed
himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself like this.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Twin,
Nathanael of Cana in
3 Simon Peter said to them, "I'm
going fishing." They said to him, "We'll go with you." They went
out and got into the boat. That night
they caught nothing.
4 But at day break, Jesus stood on
the shore, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus asked them, "Children,
you don't have any fish, do you?" They replied, "No."
6 He told them, "Cast the net
on the right side of the boat, and you will find some fish." So they cast
the net and were not able to pull it in because of the amount of fish.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus
loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that
it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he had nothing on under it),
and jumped into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in
the boat dragging the net full of fish in, for they were not far from land, only
one hundred yards out.
9 When they got to shore, they saw
a charcoal fire there, and fish laid on it along with some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some
of the fish you've just caught."
11 Then Simon Peter went up, and pulled
the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three. There were so many yet the net did not break.
12 Jesus said to them, "Come have
some breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?"
knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread,
and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14 This was now the third time that
Jesus showed himself to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
15 So when
they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of
John, do you love me more than these?" He replied, "Yes, Lord; you
know I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16 Jesus said to him a second time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord; you
know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 Jesus said to him the third
time, "Do you love me?" He replied, "Lord, you know everything; you
know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 I tell you the truth, when you were
young, you dressed yourself, and walked wherever you wanted to, but when you are
old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you
where you don't want to go."
19 Now he said this indicating the
kind of death by which Peter was going to glorify God. When he had said this,
he told him, "Follow me."
20 Peter,
turning around, saw the disciple Jesus loved following; the one who also leaned
back on Jesus at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?"
21 So Peter, seeing him, said to
Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
22 Jesus said to him, "If I want
him to stay alive until I come back, what is that to you? You need to follow
me."
23 Because of this saying a rumor
was spread among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not tell him that he would not
die; but, "If I want him to stay alive until I come back, what is that to
you?"
24 This is the disciple who testifies
of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is
true.
25 Jesus did many other things
which if they were all written down, I suppose that even the world itself could
not contain the books that would be written.
