John 5-6 (21st Century King James Version)

John 5

 ¹After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

   
 ²Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

   
 ³In these lay a great multitude of invalid folk -- blind, halt, withered -- waiting for the moving of the water.

   
 ⁴For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water. Whosoever then first stepped in, after the troubling of the water, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

   
 ⁵And a certain man was there who had an infirmity for thirty and eight years.

   
 ⁶When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that state a long time, He said unto him, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

   
 ⁷The infirm man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me."

   
 ⁸Jesus said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."

   
 ⁹And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

   
 ¹⁰The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, "It is the Sabbath day; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed."

   
 ¹¹He answered them, "He that made me whole said unto me, `Take up thy bed and walk.'"

   
 ¹²Then they asked him, "What man is that who said unto thee, `Take up thy bed and walk'?"

   
 ¹³And he that was healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had removed Himself away, a multitude being in that place.

   
 ¹⁴Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said unto him, "Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

   
 ¹⁵The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

   
 ¹⁶And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus and sought to slay Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath day.

   
 ¹⁷But Jesus answered them, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work."

   
 ¹⁸Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

   
 ¹⁹Then answered Jesus and said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

   
 ²⁰For the Father loveth the Son and showeth Him all things that He Himself doeth; and He will show Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

   
 ²¹For as the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will.

   
 ²²For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son,

   
 ²³that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who hath sent Him.

   
 ²⁴Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth My Word and believeth in Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.

   
 ²⁵"Verily, verily I say unto you, the hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

   
 ²⁶For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself,

   
 ²⁷and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

   
 ²⁸Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice

   
 ²⁹and shall come forth -- they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

   
 ³⁰"I can of Mine own self do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent Me.

   
 ³¹If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

   
 ³²There is Another that beareth witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesseth of Me is true.

   
 ³³"Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.

   
 ³⁴But I receive not testimony from man, but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

   
 ³⁵He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

   
 ³⁶But I have greater witness than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me that the Father hath sent Me.

   
 ³⁷And the Father Himself, who hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape.

   
 ³⁸And ye have not His Word abiding in you; for Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not.

   
 ³⁹"Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and it is they which testify of Me.

   
 ⁴⁰And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life!

   
 ⁴¹I receive not honor from men.

   
 ⁴²But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

   
 ⁴³I have come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

   
 ⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?

   
 ⁴⁵Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

   
 ⁴⁶For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me, for he wrote of Me.

   
 ⁴⁷But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?"

   

John 6

 ¹After these things Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee which is the Sea of Tiberias.

   
 ²And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.

   
 ³And Jesus went up onto a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

   
 ⁴Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

   
 ⁵And when Jesus lifted up His eyes and saw a great company coming unto Him, He said unto Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

   
 ⁶And this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

   
 ⁷Philip answered Him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little."

   
 ⁸One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said unto Him,

   
 ⁹"There is a lad here who hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?"

   
 ¹⁰And Jesus said, "Make the men sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

   
 ¹¹And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.

   
 ¹²When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost."

   
 ¹³Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above, unto them that had eaten.

   
 ¹⁴Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus had done, said, "This is in truth that Prophet who is coming into the world!"

   
 ¹⁵When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force to make Him a king, He departed again onto a mountain alone.

   
 ¹⁶And as evening had now come, His disciples went down unto the sea,

   
 ¹⁷and entered into a boat and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

   
 ¹⁸And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

   
 ¹⁹So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing nigh unto the boat; and they were afraid.

   
 ²⁰But He said unto them, "It is I; be not afraid."

   
 ²¹Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.

   
 ²²The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save the one into which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not gone with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone

   
 ²³(however there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord had given thanks)"

   
 ²⁴when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took boats and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

   
 ²⁵And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, "Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"

   
 ²⁶Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.

   
 ²⁷Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give unto you; for on Him hath God the Father set His seal."

   
 ²⁸Then said they unto Him, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"

   
 ²⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God: that ye believe in Him whom He hath sent."

   
 ³⁰They said therefore unto Him, "What sign showest thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What works dost thou do?

   
 ³¹Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written: `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"

   
 ³²Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from Heaven, but My Father giveth you the true bread from Heaven.

   
 ³³For the bread of God is He that cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world."

   
 ³⁴Then they said unto Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread."

   
 ³⁵And Jesus said unto them, "I am the Bread of Life. He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst.

   
 ³⁶But I said unto you that ye also have seen Me, and believe not.

   
 ³⁷All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me, and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

   
 ³⁸For I came down from Heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.

   
 ³⁹And this is the Father's will who hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the Last Day.

   
 ⁴⁰And this is the will of Him that sent Me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in Him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day."

   
 ⁴¹The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, "I am the Bread which came down from Heaven."

   
 ⁴²And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, `I came down from Heaven'?"

   
 ⁴³Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, "Murmur not among yourselves.

   
 ⁴⁴No man can come to Me unless the Father who hath sent Me draw him; and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

   
 ⁴⁵It is written in the Prophets: `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned from the Father cometh unto Me.

   
 ⁴⁶Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He that is of God; He hath seen the Father.

   
 ⁴⁷Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life.

   
 ⁴⁸I am that Bread of Life.

   
 ⁴⁹Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

   
 ⁵⁰This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.

   
 ⁵¹I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever; and the Bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

   
 ⁵²The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

   
 ⁵³Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.

   
 ⁵⁴Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day.

   
 ⁵⁵For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

   
 ⁵⁶He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood dwelleth in Me, and I in him.

   
 ⁵⁷As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

   
 ⁵⁸This is that Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate manna and are dead; he that eateth of this Bread shall live for ever."

   
 ⁵⁹These things said He in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

   
 ⁶⁰Many of His disciples therefore, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can hear it?"

   
 ⁶¹When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, "Doth this offend you?

   
 ⁶²What if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before?

   
 ⁶³It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

   
 ⁶⁴But there are some of you that believe not." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who believed not and who should betray Him.

   
 ⁶⁵And He said, "Therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto Me, unless it were given unto him by My Father."

   
 ⁶⁶From that time many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him.

   
 ⁶⁷Then Jesus said unto the twelve, "Will ye also go away?"

   
 ⁶⁸Then Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life,

   
 ⁶⁹and we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."

   
 ⁷⁰Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"

   
 ⁷¹He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for he it was who should betray Him, being one of the twelve.
