John 1:3

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

John 1:4

4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

John 1:5

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:6

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

John 1:7

7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

John 1:10

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

John 1:11

11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

John 1:12

12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

John 1:14

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

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 1:16

16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

John 1:19

19 Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.

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 1:25

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 1:27

27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

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 1:31

31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”

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 1:35

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

John 1:37

37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

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 1:40

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.

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 1:49

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”

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 2:2

2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

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 2:11

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

John 2:12

12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

John 2:17

17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

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 2:19

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

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 2:23

23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.

John 2:24

24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.

John 2:25

25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.

John 3:1

1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.

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 3:8

8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

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 3:15

15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:17

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

John 3:18

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

John 3:19

19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

John 3:20

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

John 3:21

21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

John 3:22

22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.

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 3:29

29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.

John 3:32

32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

John 3:33

33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.

John 3:35

35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.

John 4:2

2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.

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 4:8

8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

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 4:12

12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

John 4:13

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

John 4:14

14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

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 4:19

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

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 4:24

24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

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 4:31

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 4:38

38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

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 4:40

40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.

John 4:41

41 And because of his words many more became believers.

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 4:44

44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

John 4:45

45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.

John 4:47

47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

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 5:7

7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

John 5:8

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

John 5:9

9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,

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 5:16

16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.

John 5:17

17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”

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 5:20

20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

John 5:27

27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

John 5:28

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

John 5:35

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

John 5:36

36 “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me.

John 5:37

37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,

John 5:38

38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.

John 5:39

39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

John 6:2

2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick.

John 6:3

3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.

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 6:7

7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”

John 6:8

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

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 6:15

15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.

John 6:16

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,

John 6:20

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

John 6:21

21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

John 6:22

22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.

John 6:24

24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

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 6:31

31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

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 6:39

39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

John 6:40

40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

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 6:43

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.

John 6:44

44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

John 6:50

50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die.

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 6:54

54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

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 6:66

66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

John 6:68

68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

John 6:70

70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”

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 7:4

4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

John 7:5

5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

John 7:6

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

John 7:7

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

John 7:9

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

John 7:10

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.

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 7:13

13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.

John 7:16

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

John 7:17

17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

John 7:18

18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

John 7:21

21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.

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 7:29

29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.”

John 7:30

30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

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 7:32

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.

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 7:38

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 7:44

44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

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 7:47

47 “You mean he has deceived you also?” the Pharisees retorted.

John 7:50

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

John 7:51

51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”

John 7:52

52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

John 7:53

53 Then they all went home,

John 8:2

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.

John 8:3

3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group

John 8:4

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

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 8:20

20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

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 8:23

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

John 8:25

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 8:30

30 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.

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 8:44

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:48

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

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 8:55

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 8:59

59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

John 9:2

2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

John 9:3

3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

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 9:12

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

John 9:13

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

John 9:14

14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.

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 9:17

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 9:18

18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.

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 9:21

21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.”

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 9:31

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.

John 9:34

34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.

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 9:40

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 10:3

3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

John 10:4

4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

John 10:5

5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

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 10:11

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:12

12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

John 10:17

17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.

John 10:18

18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

John 10:20

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

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 10:27

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 10:28

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

John 10:32

32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

John 10:33

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

John 10:34

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

John 10:39

39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

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 10:42

42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.

John 11:1

1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

John 11:2

2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)

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 11:5

5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

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 11:17

17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

John 11:19

19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.

John 11:20

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

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 11:31

31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

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 11:33

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

John 11:34

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

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 11:44

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 11:48

48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”

John 11:49

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

John 11:53

53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.

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 12:2

2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him.

John 12:3

3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

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 12:11

11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.

John 12:13

13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

John 12:14

14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:

John 12:16

16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.

John 12:17

17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.

John 12:18

18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet 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 12:23

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 12:25

25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 12:26

26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

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 12:37

37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.

John 12:40

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”

John 12:41

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

John 12:42

42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;

John 12:47

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

John 12:48

48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

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 13:1

1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

John 13:3

3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;

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 13:23

23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

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 13:29

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 13:32

32 If God is glorified in him,God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.

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 14:5

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 14:7

7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

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 14:11

11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

John 14:17

17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

John 14:21

21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

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 15:2

2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunesso that it will be even more fruitful.

John 15:5

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:6

6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

John 15:10

10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

John 15:13

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

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 15:22

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

John 15:24

24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

John 15:25

25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

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 16:17

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 16:19

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 16:21

21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.

John 16:27

27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

John 16:29

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

John 16:31

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied.

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 17:2

2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.

John 17:6

6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.

John 17:8

8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

John 17:9

9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.

John 17:11

11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power ofyour name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.

John 17:12

12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe bythat name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

John 17:14

14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

John 17:15

15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

John 17:17

17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

John 17:18

18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

John 17:19

19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

John 17:20

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

John 17:21

21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

John 17:22

22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—

John 17:23

23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

John 17:26

26 I have made youknown to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

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 18:2

2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.

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 18:9

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

John 18:10

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

John 18:13

13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

John 18:18

18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.

John 18:19

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

John 18:20

20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.

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 18:23

23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”

John 18:24

24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

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 18:28

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.

John 18:29

29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

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 18:33

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 19:2

2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe

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 19:7

7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

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 19:15

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 19:16

16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

John 19:17

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

John 19:18

18 There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

John 19:23

23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

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 19:25

25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

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 19:29

29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

John 19:31

31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.

John 19:33

33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

John 19:34

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

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 19:36

36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”

John 19:40

40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

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 20:6

6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,

John 20:7

7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.

John 20:9

9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)

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 20:15

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 20:19

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 20:23

23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

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 20:28

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 20:30

30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.

John 20:31

31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

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 21:10

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 21:13

13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

John 21:14

14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

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 21:19

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 21:22

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?”

John 21:24

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

John 21:25

25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
