1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2. The same was in the beginning with God.3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1. And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:2. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.3. Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1. When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,2. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)3. He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
1. After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.2. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.3. In these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
1. After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.2. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.3. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
1. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.2. Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand.3. His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
1. Jesus went to the mount of Olives.2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.3. And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,
1. And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.2. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?3. Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
1. Truly, truly, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.2. But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
1. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.2. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)3. Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
1. Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.2. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.3. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
1. Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them to the end.2. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;3. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
1. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.2. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.2. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
1. These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service.3. And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
1. These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:2. As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.3. And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
1. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.2. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.3. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
1. Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.2. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,3. And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
1. The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher.2. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.3. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.
1. After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he himself.2. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.3. Simon Peter says to them, I go a fishing. They say to him, We also go with you. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
