John 1:15

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)

John 1:21

21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”

John 1:22

22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

John 1:23

23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ”

John 1:25

25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

John 1:26

26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know.

John 1:29

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John 1:30

30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’

John 1:32

32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.

John 1:33

33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

John 1:36

36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

John 1:38

38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

John 1:39

39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

John 1:41

41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).

John 1:42

42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter ).

John 1:43

43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 1:45

45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

John 1:46

46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

John 1:47

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

John 1:48

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

John 1:50

50 Jesus said, “You believebecause I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”

John 1:51

51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,youwill see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’the Son of Man.”

John 2:3

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

John 2:4

4 “Woman,why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

John 2:5

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

John 2:7

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

John 2:8

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so,

John 2:10

10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

John 2:16

16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”

John 2:18

18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

John 2:20

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”

John 2:21

21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.

John 2:22

22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

John 3:2

2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

John 3:3

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

John 3:4

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

John 3:5

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

John 3:7

7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

John 3:9

9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

John 3:10

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?

John 3:11

11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.

John 3:12

12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

John 3:26

26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”

John 3:27

27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven.

John 3:28

28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’

John 4:5

5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

John 4:7

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”

John 4:9

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. )

John 4:10

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

John 4:11

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?

John 4:13

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

John 4:15

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

John 4:16

16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

John 4:17

17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.

John 4:18

18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

John 4:19

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.

John 4:20

20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

John 4:21

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

John 4:25

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

John 4:26

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

John 4:27

27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

John 4:28

28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,

John 4:29

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”

John 4:31

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

John 4:32

32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

John 4:33

33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”

John 4:34

34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

John 4:35

35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

John 4:39

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

John 4:42

42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

John 4:48

48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

John 4:49

49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

John 4:50

50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

John 4:51

51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.

John 4:52

52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”

John 4:53

53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.

John 5:6

6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

John 5:8

8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”

John 5:10

10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”

John 5:11

11 But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”

John 5:12

12 So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”

John 5:14

14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”

John 5:15

15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

John 5:18

18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

John 5:19

19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

John 5:24

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

John 5:25

25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

John 5:34

34 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved.

John 6:5

5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”

John 6:6

6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

John 6:8

8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up,

John 6:10

10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).

John 6:12

12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

John 6:14

14 After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

John 6:20

20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

John 6:25

25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

John 6:26

26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

John 6:28

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

John 6:29

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

John 6:30

30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

John 6:32

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

John 6:34

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

John 6:35

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:36

36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.

John 6:41

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

John 6:42

42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

John 6:43

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.

John 6:47

47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.

John 6:52

52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

John 6:53

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

John 6:59

59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

John 6:60

60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

John 6:61

61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?

John 6:65

65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

John 6:67

67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.

John 6:71

71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)

John 7:3

3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.

John 7:6

6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.

John 7:9

9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

John 7:11

11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”

John 7:12

12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”

John 7:15

15 The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”

John 7:16

16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

John 7:25

25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

John 7:26

26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?

John 7:28

28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

John 7:31

31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?”

John 7:33

33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.

John 7:35

35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

John 7:36

36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

John 7:37

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

John 7:38

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

John 7:39

39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

John 7:40

40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”

John 7:41

41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?

John 7:42

42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”

John 7:45

45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”

John 7:50

50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,

John 8:4

4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

John 8:5

5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”

John 8:6

6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

John 8:7

7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

John 8:10

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

John 8:11

11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

John 8:12

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:13

13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”

John 8:14

14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.

John 8:19

19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

John 8:21

21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”

John 8:22

22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”

John 8:23

23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:24

24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”

John 8:25

25 “Who are you?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

John 8:27

27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.

John 8:28

28 So 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 speak just what the Father has taught me.

John 8:31

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

John 8:33

33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

John 8:34

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

John 8:39

39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did.

John 8:41

41 You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”

John 8:42

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.

John 8:45

45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!

John 8:46

46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?

John 8:48

48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?”

John 8:51

51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”

John 8:52

52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death.

John 8:54

54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.

John 8:55

55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.

John 8:57

57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”

John 8:58

58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

John 9:6

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.

John 9:7

7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

John 9:8

8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”

John 9:9

9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

John 9:10

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

John 9:11

11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”

John 9:12

12 “Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.

John 9:15

15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”

John 9:16

16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.

John 9:17

17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”

John 9:19

19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”

John 9:20

20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind.

John 9:22

22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.

John 9:23

23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

John 9:24

24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”

John 9:26

26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

John 9:27

27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

John 9:28

28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!

John 9:30

30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

John 9:35

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

John 9:37

37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

John 9:39

39 Jesus said,“For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

John 9:40

40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”

John 9:41

41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

John 10:1

1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.

John 10:6

6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

John 10:7

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

John 10:20

20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”

John 10:21

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

John 10:24

24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”

John 10:25

25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me,

John 10:34

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’?

John 10:35

35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—

John 10:36

36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?

John 10:41

41 and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”

John 11:3

3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”

John 11:4

4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

John 11:7

7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

John 11:8

8 “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”

John 11:11

11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”

John 11:12

12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”

John 11:13

13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

John 11:14

14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

John 11:16

16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus ) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”

John 11:21

21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

John 11:23

23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

John 11:24

24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

John 11:25

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

John 11:27

27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

John 11:28

28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”

John 11:32

32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

John 11:34

34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

John 11:36

36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

John 11:37

37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”

John 11:39

39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

John 11:40

40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

John 11:41

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

John 11:42

42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

John 11:43

43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

John 11:44

44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

John 11:46

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

John 11:47

47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.

John 11:49

49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all!

John 11:51

51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,

John 11:54

54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.

John 11:56

56 They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn’t he coming to the festival at all?”

John 12:4

4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,

John 12:6

6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

John 12:7

7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.

John 12:19

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

John 12:21

21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.”

John 12:22

22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.

John 12:23

23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

John 12:24

24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

John 12:27

27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

John 12:29

29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

John 12:30

30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine.

John 12:33

33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.

John 12:34

34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”

John 12:35

35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.

John 12:38

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

John 12:39

39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

John 12:41

41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

John 12:44

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.

John 12:49

49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.

John 12:50

50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

John 13:6

6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

John 13:7

7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

John 13:8

8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

John 13:9

9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

John 13:10

10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”

John 13:11

11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

John 13:12

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.

John 13:16

16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

John 13:18

18 “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turnedagainst me.’

John 13:19

19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.

John 13:20

20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”

John 13:21

21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”

John 13:22

22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.

John 13:24

24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

John 13:25

25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

John 13:27

27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

John 13:28

28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.

John 13:29

29 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.

John 13:31

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him.

John 13:33

33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.

John 13:36

36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

John 13:37

37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

John 13:38

38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

John 14:2

2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

John 14:5

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

John 14:6

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 14:8

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

John 14:9

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

John 14:10

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

John 14:12

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

John 14:22

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

John 14:23

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

John 14:26

26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John 14:28

28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

John 14:29

29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

John 15:15

15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:20

20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

John 16:4

4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,

John 16:7

7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

John 16:12

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.

John 16:15

15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

John 16:17

17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

John 16:18

18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

John 16:19

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’?

John 16:20

20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

John 16:23

23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

John 16:26

26 In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

John 16:29

29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.

John 17:1

1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.

John 18:1

1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

John 18:4

4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

John 18:5

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)

John 18:6

6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

John 18:7

7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

John 18:8

8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”

John 18:9

9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”

John 18:11

11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

John 18:16

16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

John 18:17

17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He replied, “I am not.”

John 18:21

21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

John 18:22

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

John 18:25

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.”

John 18:26

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”

John 18:30

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

John 18:31

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.

John 18:32

32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.

John 18:33

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

John 18:34

34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

John 18:37

37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

John 18:38

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

John 18:40

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.

John 19:3

3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.

John 19:4

4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

John 19:5

5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

John 19:6

6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”

John 19:9

9 and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.

John 19:10

10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

John 19:12

12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”

John 19:13

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).

John 19:14

14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.

John 19:15

15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

John 19:17

17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).

John 19:21

21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”

John 19:24

24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.”So this is what the soldiers did.

John 19:26

26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,here is your son,”

John 19:27

27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

John 19:28

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

John 19:30

30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

John 19:35

35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.

John 19:37

37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”

John 20:2

2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

John 20:13

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”

John 20:14

14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

John 20:15

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

John 20:16

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

John 20:17

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

John 20:18

18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

John 20:19

19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

John 20:20

20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

John 20:21

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

John 20:22

22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

John 20:24

24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus ), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.

John 20:25

25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

John 20:26

26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

John 20:27

27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

John 20:28

28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

John 20:29

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

John 21:2

2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus ), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.

John 21:3

3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

John 21:5

5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”“No,” they answered.

John 21:6

6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

John 21:7

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.

John 21:10

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”

John 21:12

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.

John 21:15

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

John 21:16

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

John 21:17

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

John 21:18

18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”

John 21:19

19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

John 21:20

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)

John 21:21

21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

John 21:22

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”

John 21:23

23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
