John 12:12-21:25

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² ¶ On the next day the multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹³ took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

¹⁴ And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat upon it, as it is written,

¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.

¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things unto him.

¹⁷ The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

¹⁸ For this cause the multitude also met him, for they had heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

²⁰ ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast;

²¹ the same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we desire to see Jesus.

²² Philip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified.

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; the one that serves me, will my Father honour.

²⁷ ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.

²⁸ Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.

²⁹ The people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him.

³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

³² And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

³³ This he said, signifying what death he should die.

³⁴ The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³⁵ Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes.

³⁶ While ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.

³⁷ ¶ But although he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who shall believe our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.

⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory and spoke of him.

⁴² ¶ Nevertheless, even among the princes many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴ ¶ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes in me, believes not in me, but in him that sent me,

⁴⁵ and he that sees me sees him that sent me.

⁴⁶ I am come as a light into the world that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.

⁴⁷ And if anyone hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.

⁴⁸ He that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

13 ¶ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto 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 had come from God and was going to God,

⁴ arose from the supper and laid aside his garments and took a towel and girded himself.

⁵ After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter, and Peter said unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou dost not understand now, but thou shalt understand afterwards.

⁸ Peter said unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only to wash his feet because he is completely clean, and ye are clean, but not all.

¹¹ For he knew who should betray him; therefore, said he, Ye are not all clean.

¹² So after he had washed their feet and had taken his garments and had sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am.

¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, ye shall be blessed if ye do them.

¹⁸ ¶ I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me,

¹⁹ now I tell you before it is done, so that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

²¹ When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

²² Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.

²³ And one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was seated at the table beside Jesus.

²⁴ Simon Peter therefore beckoned to this one that he should ask him who it was of whom he spoke.

²⁵ He then, reclining on Jesus’ breast, said unto him, Lord, who is it?

²⁶ Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

²⁷ And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said unto him, That which thou shalt do, do it more quickly.

²⁸ Now no one at the table understood for what purpose he spoke this unto him.

²⁹ For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰ He then having received the sop went immediately out, and it was now night.

³¹ ¶ Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man clarified, and God is clarified in him.

³² If God is clarified in him, God shall also clarify him in himself and shall straightway clarify him.

³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, so now I say to you.

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

³⁵ By this shall everyone know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

³⁶ ¶ Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

³⁷ Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my soul for thy sake.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy soul for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow until thou hast denied me three times.

14 ¶ Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.

² In my Father’s house are many dwelling places; 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 take you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

⁴ ¶ So that ye know where I go, and ye know the way.

⁵ Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where thou goest; how, therefore, can we know the way?

⁶ Jesus said unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes unto the Father, but by me.

⁷ If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from now on ye know him and have seen him.

⁸ Philip said unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice us.

⁹ Jesus said unto him, Have I been such a long time with you, and yet thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.

¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

¹² ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.

¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments;

¹⁶ and I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever,

¹⁷ even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him, or know him; but ye know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.

¹⁸ ¶ I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me; because I live, ye shall live also.

²⁰ At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

²² Judas, not Iscariot, said unto him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?

²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, He who loves me will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and dwell with him.

²⁴ He that does not love me does not keep my words, and the word which ye have heard is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.

²⁵ ¶ I have spoken these things unto you, being yet present with you.

²⁶ But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things that I have said unto you.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

²⁸ ¶ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice because I said, I go unto the Father; for my Father is greater than I.

²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

³⁰ Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me.

³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

15 ¶ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

² Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

⁵ I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

⁶ He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.

⁷ If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

⁸ In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.

⁹ ¶ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

¹¹ These things I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.

¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹⁵ From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.

¹⁷ This I command you, that ye love one another.

¹⁸ ¶ If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹ But they will do all these things unto you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him that sent me.

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

²³ He that hates me hates my Father also.

²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other man has done, they would not have sin; but now they have seen them and hate both me and my Father.

²⁵ But this comes to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

²⁶ ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me;

²⁷ and ye also shall bear witness because ye have been with me from the beginning.

16 ¶ These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.

² They shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

³ And they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.

⁴ But I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.

⁵ But now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?

⁶ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they do not believe in me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will cause you to know the things which are to come.

¹⁴ He shall clarify me, for he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

¹⁵ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

¹⁶ ¶ A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me; and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot understand what he says.

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ The woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.

²³ ¶ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁴ Until now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

²⁵ I have spoken these things unto you in proverbs, but the hour comes when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name, and I do not say unto you that I will ask the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ ¶ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.

³⁰ Now we understand that thou knowest all things and needest not that anyone should ask thee; by this we believe that thou didst come forth from God.

³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

³² Behold, the hour comes and is now come, that ye shall be scattered, each one to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

³³ These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

17 ¶ Jesus spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; clarify thy Son, that thy Son may also clarify thee,

² as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

³ And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

⁴ I have clarified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou didst give me to do.

⁵ And now, O Father, clarify thou me with thine own self with that clarity which I had with thee before the world was.

⁶ ¶ I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou didst give me out of the world; thine they were, and thou didst give them me; and they have kept thy word.

⁷ Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

⁸ For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

⁹ I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine.

¹⁰ And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I have been clarified in them.

¹¹ ¶ And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, those whom thou hast given me, keep them in thy name, that they may be one, as we are.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³ And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁵ I do not pray that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil.

¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ ¶ Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is the truth.

¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified in the truth.

²⁰ ¶ Neither do I pray for these alone, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²² And the clarity which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one:

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect in one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

²⁴ ¶ Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my clarity, which thou hast given me, for thou hast loved me from before the foundation of the world.

²⁵ O righteous Father, the world has not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁶ And I have manifested unto them thy name and will manifest it still, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

18 ¶ When Jesus had spoken these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.

² And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus gathered there often with his disciples.

³ Judas then, taking a company of soldiers and ministers of the high priests and of the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

⁵ They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, I AM. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

⁶ And when he said unto them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground.

⁷ Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM; if, therefore, ye seek me, let these go away,

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of those whom thou gavest me I have lost none.

¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.

¹¹ Then Jesus said unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath; the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

¹² Then the company of soldiers and the tribune and the ministers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him

¹³ ¶ and led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest of that year and he sent him bound unto Caiaphas, the high priest.

¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple; that disciple was known unto the high priest and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. Then that other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spoke unto her that kept the door and brought in Peter.

¹⁷ Then the damsel that kept the door said unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He said, I am not.

¹⁸ And the slaves and servants stood there, who had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves; and Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

¹⁹ The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have said nothing in secret.

²¹ Why dost thou ask me? Ask those who heard me what I have said unto them; behold, they know what I said.

²² And when he had thus spoken, one of the servants who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³ Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why dost thou smite me?

²⁴ Thus Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁵ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said, I am not.

²⁶ One of the slaves of the high priest, kinsman of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

²⁷ Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crew.

²⁸ ¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment, and it was early; and they themselves did not go into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the passover.

²⁹ Pilate then went out unto them and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

³⁰ They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

³¹ Then Pilate said unto them, Take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death;

³² that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

³³ Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

³⁴ Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it unto thee of me?

³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me; what hast thou done?

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; now, therefore, my kingdom is not from here.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I AM king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

³⁸ Pilate said unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find no fault at all in him.

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

⁴⁰ Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

19 ¶ 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 a purple robe on him

³ and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

⁴ Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

⁵ Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!

⁶ When the princes of the priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him, crucify him. {Gr. stauroo – hang him on a stake} Pilate said unto them, Take him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.

⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.

⁸ Therefore when Pilate heard that word, he was the more afraid

⁹ and went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Then Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee {Gr. stauroo – hang thee on a stake} and have power to release thee?

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou could have no power at all against me, unless it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee has the greater sin.

¹² And from then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend; whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

¹³ Therefore when Pilate heard that word, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; then he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁵ But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶ ¶ So that then, he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁷ And he, bearing his cross, {Gr. stauros – stake} went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,

¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹ ¶ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it above the cross. {Gr. stauros – stake} And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰ And many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

²¹ Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts (to each soldier a part); and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my raiment they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁵ Now there stood by the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Jesus his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it upon hyssop and put it to his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave up the Spirit.

³¹ ¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} on the sabbath day (for that sabbath day was a high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who were crucified with him.

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

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith blood and water came out.

³⁵ And he that saw it gives testimony, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he says the truth, that ye also might believe.

³⁶ For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸ ¶ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

³⁹ Then Nicodemus came also, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ And they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews to bury.

⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no one had yet been laid.

⁴² Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews’ preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.

20 ¶ The first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

² Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

³ Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

⁴ So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulchre.

⁵ And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet he did not go in.

⁶ Then came Simon Peter following him and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen clothes lying

⁷ and the napkin, that had been placed over his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

⁸ Then that other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also and he saw and believed.

⁹ For as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

¹⁰ Then the disciples went away again unto their own.

¹¹ ¶ But Mary stood outside near the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre

¹² and saw two angels in white sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been placed.

¹³ And they said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She said unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴ And when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said unto him, Lord, if thou didst carry him off, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, Mary! Turning herself around, she said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.

¹⁷ Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came giving the news to the disciples, That I have seen the Lord, and he spoke these things unto me.

¹⁹ ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first of the sabbaths, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said unto them, Peace be unto you.

²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.

²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit;

²³ unto those whose sins ye release, they shall be released; and unto those whose sins ye retain, they shall be retained.

²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶ ¶ And again eight days later, his disciples were within and Thomas with them; then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you.

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach here thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not unbelieving, but faithful.

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹ Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed.

³⁰ And Jesus truly did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³¹ but these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

21 ¶ After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and he manifested himself in this manner:

² Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two other of his disciples were together.

³ Simon Peter said unto them, I am going fishing. They said unto him, Let us also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not understand that it was Jesus.

⁵ Then Jesus said unto them, Children, have ye any food? They answered him, No.

⁶ And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right hand side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

⁷ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.

⁸ And the other disciples came in the little ship (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits), dragging the net with the fishes.

⁹ As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and a fish laid thereon, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

¹¹ Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three; and being so many, yet the net was not broken.

¹² Jesus said unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples dared to ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³ Jesus then came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise.

¹⁴ This was now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

¹⁵ ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He said unto him, Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my lambs.

¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said unto him, Yes, Lord thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ He said unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said unto him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁸ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself and walk where thou wouldest, but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and carry thee where thou wouldest not.

¹⁹ This he spoke, signifying by what death he should clarify God. And when he had spoken this, he said unto him, Follow me.

²⁰ ¶ Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrays thee?

²¹ Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

²² Jesus said unto him, If I will that he tarry until I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

²³ Then this saying went abroad among the brethren that that disciple should not die; yet Jesus did not say unto him, He shall not die, but, If I will that he tarry until I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴ This is the disciple who testifies of these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one, I think that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
