Book 43 John 43:001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 43:001:002 The same was in the beginning with God. 43:001:003 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 43:001:004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 43:001:005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 43:001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 43:001:007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 43:001:008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 43:001:009 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 43:001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 43:001:011 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 43:001:012 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 43:001:013 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 43:001:014 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 43:001:015 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 43:001:016 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 43:001:017 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 43:001:018 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 43:001:019 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 43:001:020 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 43:001:021 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 43:001:022 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 43:001:023 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 43:001:024 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 43:001:025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 43:001:026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 43:001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 43:001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 43:001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 43:001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 43:001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 43:001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 43:001:033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 43:001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. 43:001:035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 43:001:036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 43:001:037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 43:001:038 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 43:001:039 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 43:001:040 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 43:001:041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 43:001:042 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. 43:001:043 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. 43:001:044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 43:001:045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 43:001:046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 43:001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 43:001:048 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 43:001:049 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 43:001:050 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 43:001:051 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 43:002:001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 43:002:002 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 43:002:003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 43:002:004 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 43:002:005 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 43:002:006 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 43:002:007 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 43:002:008 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 43:002:009 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 43:002:010 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 43:002:011 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. 43:002:012 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. 43:002:013 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 43:002:014 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 43:002:015 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 43:002:016 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 43:002:017 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. 43:002:018 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 43:002:019 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 43:002:020 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 43:002:021 But he spake of the temple of his body. 43:002:022 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 43:002:023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. 43:002:024 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 43:002:025 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. 43:003:001 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 43:003:002 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 43:003:003 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 43:003:004 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 43:003:005 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 43:003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 43:003:007 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 43:003:008 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 43:003:009 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 43:003:010 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 43:003:011 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 43:003:012 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 43:003:013 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 43:003:014 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 43:003:015 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 43:003:016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 43:003:017 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 43:003:018 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 43:003:019 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 43:003:020 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 43:003:021 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 43:003:022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 43:003:023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 43:003:024 For John was not yet cast into prison. 43:003:025 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. 43:003:026 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. 43:003:027 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 43:003:028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 43:003:029 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 43:003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease. 43:003:031 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 43:003:032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 43:003:033 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 43:003:034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 43:003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 43:003:036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. 43:004:001 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 43:004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 43:004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 43:004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria. 43:004:005 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 43:004:006 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 43:004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 43:004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 43:004:009 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 43:004:010 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 43:004:011 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 43:004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 43:004:013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 43:004:014 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 43:004:015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 43:004:016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 43:004:017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 43:004:018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 43:004:019 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 43:004:020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 43:004:021 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 43:004:022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 43:004:023 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 43:004:024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 43:004:025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 43:004:026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 43:004:027 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 43:004:028 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 43:004:029 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 43:004:030 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 43:004:031 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 43:004:032 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 43:004:033 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 43:004:034 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 43:004:035 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 43:004:036 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 43:004:037 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 43:004:038 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. 43:004:039 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. 43:004:040 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 43:004:041 And many more believed because of his own word; 43:004:042 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. 43:004:043 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. 43:004:044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 43:004:045 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. 43:004:046 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 43:004:047 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 43:004:048 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 43:004:049 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 43:004:050 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 43:004:051 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 43:004:052 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 43:004:053 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 43:004:054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. 43:005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 43:005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 43:005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 43:005:004 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 43:005:005 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 43:005:006 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 43:005:007 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 43:005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 43:005:009 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 43:005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 43:005:011 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 43:005:012 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 43:005:013 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. 43:005:014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 43:005:015 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 43:005:016 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 43:005:017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 43:005:018 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 43:005:019 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 43:005:020 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 43:005:021 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 43:005:022 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 43:005:023 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 43:005:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 43:005:025 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 43:005:026 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 43:005:027 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 43:005:028 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 43:005:029 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 43:005:030 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 43:005:031 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 43:005:032 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 43:005:033 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 43:005:034 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 43:005:035 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 43:005:036 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 43:005:037 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 43:005:038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 43:005:039 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 43:005:040 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 43:005:041 I receive not honour from men. 43:005:042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43:005:043 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 43:005:044 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 43:005:045 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 43:005:046 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 43:005:047 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 43:006:001 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 43:006:002 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 43:006:003 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 43:006:004 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 43:006:005 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 43:006:006 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 43:006:007 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 43:006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 43:006:009 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 43:006:010 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 43:006:011 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 43:006:012 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 43:006:013 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 43:006:014 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. 43:006:015 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. 43:006:016 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 43:006:017 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 43:006:018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 43:006:019 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 43:006:020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 43:006:021 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 43:006:022 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 43:006:023 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 43:006:024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 43:006:025 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 43:006:026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 43:006:027 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 43:006:028 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 43:006:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 43:006:030 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 43:006:031 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 43:006:032 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 43:006:033 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 43:006:034 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 43:006:035 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 43:006:036 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 43:006:037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 43:006:038 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 43:006:039 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 43:006:040 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 43:006:041 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 43:006:042 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43:006:043 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 43:006:044 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 43:006:045 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 43:006:046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 43:006:047 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 43:006:048 I am that bread of life. 43:006:049 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 43:006:050 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 43:006:051 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 43:006:052 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 43:006:053 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 43:006:054 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 43:006:055 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 43:006:056 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 43:006:057 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 43:006:058 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 43:006:059 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 43:006:060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 43:006:061 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 43:006:062 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 43:006:063 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 43:006:064 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 43:006:065 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 43:006:066 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 43:006:067 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 43:006:068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 43:006:069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 43:006:070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 43:006:071 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. 43:007:001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 43:007:002 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 43:007:003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 43:007:004 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 43:007:005 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 43:007:006 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 43:007:007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 43:007:008 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. 43:007:009 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 43:007:010 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 43:007:011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 43:007:012 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 43:007:013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. 43:007:014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 43:007:015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 43:007:016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 43:007:017 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 43:007:018 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 43:007:019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 43:007:020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 43:007:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 43:007:022 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 43:007:023 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 43:007:024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 43:007:025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 43:007:026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 43:007:027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 43:007:028 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 43:007:029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 43:007:030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 43:007:031 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 43:007:032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 43:007:033 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 43:007:034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 43:007:035 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 43:007:036 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? 43:007:037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 43:007:038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 43:007:039 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 43:007:040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 43:007:041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 43:007:042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43:007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him. 43:007:044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 43:007:045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 43:007:046 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 43:007:047 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 43:007:048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 43:007:049 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 43:007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 43:007:051 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 43:007:052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 43:007:053 And every man went unto his own house. 43:008:001 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 43:008:002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 43:008:003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 43:008:004 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 43:008:005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 43:008:006 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 43:008:007 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 43:008:008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 43:008:009 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 43:008:010 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 43:008:011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 43:008:012 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 43:008:013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 43:008:014 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 43:008:015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 43:008:016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 43:008:017 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 43:008:018 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 43:008:019 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 43:008:020 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 43:008:021 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 43:008:022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 43:008:023 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 43:008:024 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 43:008:025 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 43:008:026 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 43:008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 43:008:028 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 43:008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 43:008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 43:008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 43:008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 43:008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 43:008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 43:008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 43:008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 43:008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 43:008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 43:008:039 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 43:008:040 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 43:008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 43:008:042 Jesus said unto them, If God were
