Read the Gospels in 40 Days
5 After these things there was a feast day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. [Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.]
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving of the water.
4 For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the [standing] water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held [was made whole of whatever sickness he was holden with].
5 And a man was there [Forsooth some man was there], having eight and thirty years in his sickness.
6 And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time [and had known, for now he had much time], he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, that when the water is moved [that when the water is troubled], to put me into the cistern; for while I come, another goeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. [Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and wander.]
9 And at once the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth [And anon the man is made whole, and took up his bed, and wandered]. And it was sabbath in that day.
10 Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed.
11 He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go [Take thy bed, and wander].
12 Therefore they asked him, What man is that, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? [Therefore they asked him, Who is that man, that said to thee, Take thy bed and wander?]
13 But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place [Forsooth Jesus bowed him from the company ordained, or set, in the place].
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole; now do not thou do sin [now do not thou sin], lest any worse thing befall to thee.
15 That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.
16 Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath.
17 And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but [and] he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even to God [making him even to God].
19 Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son may not of himself do any thing, but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things [whatever things soothly he doeth, these things and the Son also doeth].
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, that ye wonder.
21 For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, [and] so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son [but hath given all the doom to the Son],
23 that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, but passeth from death into life [hath everlasting life, and cometh not into doom, but passed from death into life].
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear, shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;
27 and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man's Son.
28 Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God's Son.
29 And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. [And they that have done good things, shall come forth into rising again of life; forsooth they that have done evil things, into rising again of doom.]
30 I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem [I may not of myself do any thing, but as I hear, I judge], and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.
31 If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true;
32 another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me.
33 Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to [the] truth.
34 But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe.
35 He was a lantern burning and shining [He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light]; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light.
36 But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them [forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them], those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me. Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness [neither saw his likeness, or form].
38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.
39 Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess [in which ye ween] to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye have life.
41 I take not clearness of men;
42 but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me. If another [shall] come in his own name, ye shall receive him.
44 How be ye able to believe [How may ye believe], that receive glory each of (the) other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone?
45 Do not ye guess, that I am to accuse you with the Father; it is Moses that accuseth you, in whom ye hope.
46 For if ye believed to Moses, peradventure ye should believe also to me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not to his letters, how shall ye believe to my words?
6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him; for they saw the tokens, that he did on them that were sick.
3 Therefore Jesus went into an hill, and sat there with his disciples [and there he sat with his disciples].
4 And the pask was full nigh, a feast day of the Jews.
5 Therefore when Jesus had lifted up his eyes, and had seen, that a great multitude came to him, he saith to Philip, Whereof shall we buy loaves, that these men eat?
6 But he said this thing, tempting him; for he knew what he was to do.
7 Philip answered to him, The loaves of two hundred pence suffice not to them, that each man take a little what.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him,
9 A child is here, that hath five barley loaves and two fishes; but what be these among so many?
10 Therefore Jesus saith, Make them sit to the meat [Make ye men to sit at the meat]. And there was much hay in the place. And so men sat to the meat, as five thousand in number [Therefore men sat at the meat, in number as five thousand].
11 And Jesus took [the] five loaves, and when he had done thankings, he parted to the men that sat to the meat [he parted to men sitting at the meat], and also of the fishes, as much as they would.
12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather ye the remnants that be left [Gather ye the reliefs that be left], that they perish not.
13 And so they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of the remnant of the five barley loaves and two fishes [Therefore they gathered, and filled twelve coffins of reliefs of the five barley loaves and two fishes], that left to them that had eaten.
14 Therefore those men, when they had seen the sign [when they had seen the token, or miracle,] that he had done, said, For this is verily the prophet, that is to come into the world.
15 And when Jesus had known, that they were to come to take him, and make him king, he flew alone again into an hill.[a]
16 And when eventide was come [Soothly as even was made], his disciples went down to the sea.
17 And they went up into a boat, and they came over the sea into Capernaum. And darknesses were made then, and Jesus was not come to them [And darknesses were now made, and Jesus had not come to them].
18 And for a great wind blew, the sea rose up.
19 Therefore when they had rowed as five and twenty furlongs or thirty, they see Jesus walking on the sea/they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and to be nigh the boat; and they dreaded.
20 And he said to them, I am; do not ye dread.
21 Therefore they would take him into the boat, and at once [and anon] the boat was at the land, to which they went.
22 On the tother day the people, that stood over the sea, saw, that there was none other boat there but that one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples alone went [but his disciples went alone].
23 But other boats came from Tiberias beside the place, where they had eaten bread [where they ate bread], and did thankings to God.
24 Therefore when the people had seen, that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went up into boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 And when they had found him over the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, how camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered to them, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me, not for ye saw the miracles, but for ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Work ye not (for) meat that perisheth, but that that dwelleth into everlasting life, which meat man's Son shall give to you; for God the Father hath marked him.
28 Therefore they said to him, What shall we do, that we work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered, and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe to him, whom he sent.
30 Therefore they said to him, What token then doest thou, that we see, and believe to thee? what workest thou?
31 Our fathers ate manna in desert, as it is written, He gave to them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you very bread from heaven;
33 for it is very bread that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.
34 Therefore they said to him, Lord, ever give us this bread. [Therefore they said to him, Lord, evermore give to us this bread.]
35 And Jesus said to them, I am bread of life; he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth in me, shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you, that ye have seen me, and ye believe not. [But I said to you, for and ye have seen me, and believed not.]
37 All thing, that the Father giveth to me, shall come to me; and I shall not cast him out [and I shall not cast out him], that cometh to me.
38 For I came down from heaven, not that I do my will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the will of the Father that sent me, that all thing that the Father gave to me, I lose not of it [I lose nought of it], but again-raise it in the last day.
40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me, that each man that seeth the Son, and believeth in him, have everlasting life; and I shall again-raise him in the last day.
41 Therefore the Jews grumbled of him, for he had said [Therefore Jews grutched of him, for he said], I am bread that came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Whether this is not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known. How then saith he this, That I came down from heaven [Therefore how saith he this, I came down from heaven]?
43 Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Do not ye grumble together [Do not ye grutch together].
44 No man may come to me, but if the Father that sent me, draw him [no but the Father that sent me, draw him]; and I shall again-raise him in the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And all men shall be able to be taught of God. Each man that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.
46 Not for any man hath seen the Father, but this that is of God, hath seen the Father.
47 Soothly, soothly, I say to you, he that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.
48 I am [the] bread of life. [I am the bread of life.]
49 Your fathers ate manna in desert, and be dead.
50 This is bread coming down from heaven, that if any man [shall] eat thereof, he die not.
51 I am living bread, that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live without end. And the bread that I shall give, is my flesh for the life of the world.
52 Therefore the Jews chided together, and said [saying], How may this give to us his flesh to eat?
53 Therefore Jesus saith to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, but ye eat the flesh of man's Son, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.
54 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life, and I shall again-raise him in the last day.
55 For my flesh is very meat, and my blood is very drink.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As my Father living sent me, and I live for the Father, and he that eateth me, he shall live for me.
58 This is bread, that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna, and be dead; he that eateth this bread, shall live without end.
59 He said these things in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.
60 Therefore many of his disciples hearing [this], said, This word is hard, who may hear it?
61 But Jesus witting at himself, that his disciples grumbled of this thing [Forsooth Jesus witting with himself, for his disciples grutched of this thing], said to them, This thing offendeth you?
62 Therefore if ye [shall] see man's Son ascending [up], where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life.
65 And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man may come to me, but it were given to him of my Father.
66 From this time many of his disciples went aback, and went not now with him.
67 Therefore Jesus said to the twelve, Whether ye will also go away?
68 And Simon Peter answered to him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life;
69 and we believe, and have known [and we have believed, and know], that thou art Christ, the Son of God.
70 Therefore Jesus answered to them, Whether I chose not you twelve, and one of you is a fiend [and one of you is a devil]?
71 And he said this of Judas of Simon Iscariot, for this was to betray him, when he was one of the twelve.
