John Chapter 1

The Word made flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 This was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made.
4 In him was life, and life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not prevail against it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came as a testimony, to bear witness to the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but that he might bear witness to the light.
9 That true light, which illuminates every man, came into this world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him; but the world did not know him.
11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God;
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And that Word became flesh, and he dwelt among us (and we saw the glory of him, glory of him as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of him, and cried out, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is before me; because he was first than me.
16 For we all take from the fullness of him, and grace upon grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

Testimony of John the Baptist

19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?
20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? He said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 They said to him: Who then are you? so that we may respond to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.
24 And those who had been sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him and said to him, Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water; but among you is one whom you do not know.
27 This is he who comes after me, who is before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things happened in Bethabara, on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The lamb of God

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man, who is before me; because he was first than me.
31 And I did not know him; but that he might be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.
32 John also bore witness, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33 And I did not know him; But he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me: On whomever you see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, it is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
34 And I saw him, and have testified that this is the Son of God.

The first disciples

35 The next day there was John again, and two of his disciples.
36 And looking at Jesus walking there, he said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 And Jesus turning, and seeing that they followed him, said unto them, What seek ye? They said to him: Rabbi (which is translated, Teacher), where do you dwell?
39 He said to them, Come and see. They went and saw where he lived, and they stayed with him that day; because it was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who had heard John and followed Jesus.
41 This man first found his brother Simon, and said to her, We have found the Messiah (which is translated, the Christ).
42 And he brought Jesus to him. And Jesus looking at him, he said, You are Simon, son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas (which means, Peter).

Jesus calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and he found Philip, and said to him, Follow me.
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law wrote, as well as the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
46 Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Felipe said to him: Come and see.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching him, he said of him, Behold, a true Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
48 Nathanael said to him: Where do you know me from? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You see greater things than these.
51 And he said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.

John Chapter 2

The wedding at Cana

1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3 And when there was no wine, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her: What have you to do with me, woman? My time has not yet come.
5 His mother said to those who served: Do everything I tell you.
6 And there were six stone jars for water, according to the rite of purification of the Jews, in each of which held two or three jugs.
7 Jesus said to them, Fill these jars with water. And they filled them to the top.
8 Then he said to them, Draw him out now, and take him to the master. And they took him away.
9 When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, not knowing where it came from, although the servants who had drawn the water knew, he called the bridegroom,
10 and said to him, “Every man serves good wine first, and when they have drunk much, then the inferior; but you have reserved the good wine until now.
11 Jesus did this beginning of signs in Cana of Galilee, and he manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this they went down to Capernaum, he, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they were there not many days.

Jesus purifies the temple

13 The Passover of the Jews was near; And Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 and found those in the temple who were selling oxen, sheep, and doves, and the money changers sitting there.
15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he scattered the money changers’ coins, and overturned the tables;
16 And he said to those who sold doves, Take this away from here, and make not my Father’s house a market house.

17 Then his disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for your house consumes me.
18 And the Jews answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, since you do this?
19 Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then the Jews said, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?
21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
22 Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Jesus knows all men

23 While he was in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many believed in his name, seeing the signs he did.
24 But Jesus himself did not trust them, because he knew everyone,
25 and he did not need anyone to testify to him about the man, because he knew what was in the man.

John Chapter 3

Jesus and Nicodemus

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; because no one can do these signs that you do, if God is not with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?
5 Jesus answered: Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you: You must be born again.
8 The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear its sound; but you do not know where it comes from, nor where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can this be done?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not this?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak about what we know, and about what we have seen we testify; and you do not receive our testimony.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 No one ascended into heaven except he who came down from heaven; the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

God so loved the world

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18 He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe, he has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his deeds may not be rebuked.
21 But he who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be evident that his works are done in God.

husband's friend

22 After this, Jesus came with his disciples to the land of Judea, and was there with them, and baptized.
23 John also baptized in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
24 Because John had not yet been imprisoned.
25 Then there was a discussion between John’s disciples and the Jews about purification.
26 And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, see that he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, of whom you testified, baptizes, and all come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man cannot receive anything except it be given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him.
29 He who has a wife, he is her husband; but the husband’s friend, who is next to her and hears him, greatly rejoices in the husband’s voice; So this my joy is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

The one who comes from above

31 He who comes from above is above all; He who is of the earth is earthly, and speaks earthly things; he who comes from heaven, he is above all.
32 And what he saw and heard, this testifies; and no one receives the testimony of him.
33 He who receives testimony from him testifies that God is true.
34 For he whom God sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand.
36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; But he who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God is upon him.

John Chapter 4

Jesus and the Samaritan woman

1 Now when the Lord understood that the Pharisees had heard it said: Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John
2 (although Jesus did not baptize, but his disciples),
3 he left Judea and went again to Galilee.
4 And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
5 So he came to a city in Samaria called Sychar, next to the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 And Jacob’s well was there. Then Jesus, tired from the journey, sat down like this by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to him, Give me a drink.
8 Well, his disciples had gone to the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How come you, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, a Samaritan woman?” Because Jews and Samaritans did not treat each other.
10 Jesus answered and said to him, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink; you would ask him, and he would give you living water.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw it with, and the well is deep.” Where then do you have living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, from which he and his sons and his livestock drank?
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks this water will thirst again;
14 But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will be in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not thirst and come here to draw it.”
16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You have said well: I have no husband;
18 because you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband; You have said this with truth.
19 The woman said to him, Lord, it seems to me that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you say that Jerusalem is the place where we should worship.
21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know; because salvation comes from the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and is now, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; because the Father also seeks such worshipers to worship him.
24 God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25The woman said to him: I know that the Messiah, called the Christ, is coming; When he comes he will declare all things to us.
26 Jesus said to him: I am he who speaks with you.
27 At this his disciples came and marveled that he was speaking with a woman; However, none said: What questions? or, What do you talk to her?
28 Then the woman left her waterpot, and she went into the city, and she said to the men,
29 Come, see a man who told me everything I have done. Could this not be the Christ?
30 Then they left the city, and came to him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32 He said to them: I have food to eat, of which you do not know.
33 Then the disciples said to one another, Has anyone brought him something to eat?
34 Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Don’t you say, There are still four months until the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you: Lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest.

36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that he who sows may have joy with him who reaps.
37 For in this the saying is true: One is he who sows, and another is he who reaps.
38 I have sent you to reap what you did not till; Others worked, and you have entered into their work.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, saying: She told Me everything that I have done.
40 Then the Samaritans came to him and begged him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his word,
42 and said to the woman: We no longer believe only because of your saying, because we ourselves have heard, and we know that truly this is the Savior of the world, the Christ.

Jesus heals the son of a nobleman

43 Two days later, he left there and went to Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified that the prophet has no honor in his own land.
45 When he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; because they had also gone to the party.
46 So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was an officer of the king in Capernaum, whose son was sick.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he came to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
49 The king’s official said to him, Sir, come down before my son dies.
50 Jesus said to him: Go, your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus told him, and he went away.
51 When he was already descending, his servants came out to meet him and told him, saying, “Your son lives.”
52 Then he asked them what time he began to feel better. And they told him: Yesterday at seven o’clock his fever left him.
53 The father then understood that that was the hour in which Jesus had said to him: Your son lives; and he believed with all his house.
54 This second sign Jesus did, when he went from Judea to Galilee.

John Chapter 5

The Paralytic of Bethesda

1 After these things there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep gate, a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, which has five porches.
3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame and paralyzed, waiting for the movement of the water.
4 For an angel descended from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water; and whoever first descended into the pool after the movement of the water, he was healed of whatever illness he had.
5 And there was a man there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying down, and he knew that he had been like this for a long time, he said to him: Do you want to be healed?
7 Sir, the sick man answered, I have no one to put me in the pond when the water is agitated; and while I go, another descends before me.
8 Jesus said to him, Get up, take up your bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the Sabbath that day.
10 Then the Jews said to him who was healed, It is the Sabbath; It is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
11 He answered them, He who healed me, himself said to me, Take up your bed and walk.
12 Then they asked him, Who is he who said to you, Take up your bed and walk?
13 And he who was healed did not know who he was, because Jesus had separated himself from the people who were in that place.
14 Then Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, See, you are healed; Sin no more, lest something worse come to you.
15 The man went away and told the Jews that Jesus was the one who had healed him.
16 And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath day.
17 And Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 For this reason the Jews sought even more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal to God.

The authority of the Son

19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, except what he sees the Father doing; because whatever the Father does, the Son also does equally.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he does; and greater works than these he will show you, so that you will marvel.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to those whom he wills.
22 For the Father judges no one, but gave all judgment to the Son,
23 so that everyone may honor the Son as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son, he does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life; and he will not come into condemnation, but he has passed from death to life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear it will live.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he also has given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 and he also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel at this; for the time will come when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice;
29 and those who did good will come out to the resurrection of life; but those who did evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

Witnesses of Christ

30 I can do nothing by myself; as I hear, so I judge; and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my will, but the will of the one who sent me, the Father’s.
31 If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he testifies about me is true.
33 You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.
34 But I receive no testimony from any man; but I say this, that you may be saved.
35 He was a torch that burned and gave light; and you wanted to rejoice for a time in the light of it.
36 But I have a greater testimony than that of John; because the works that the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Also the Father who sent me has testified about me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his appearance,
38 nor have you had his word dwelling in you; for whom he sent, you do not believe.
39 Search the Scriptures; because it seems to you that in them you have eternal life; and they are the ones who testify about me;
40 and you do not want to come to me that you may have life.
41 I do not receive glory from men.
42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; If another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
44 How can you believe, since you receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Do not think that I am going to accuse you before the Father; There is someone who accuses you, Moses, in whom you have your hope.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?

John Chapter 6

Feeding of the five thousand

1 After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of ​​Galilee, that of Tiberias.
2 And a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs that he did on the sick.
3 Then Jesus went up a mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
4 And the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.
5 When Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw that a great crowd had come to him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread for these to eat?
6 But he said this to test him; because he knew what he had to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii of bread would not be enough for each of them to take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
9 Here is a boy, who has five barley loaves and two small fish; but what is this for so many?
10 Then Jesus said, Make the people lie down. And there was a lot of grass in that place; and they sat down, about five thousand men in number.
11 And Jesus took those loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed them among the disciples, and the disciples among those who were reclining; also of the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather up the pieces that were left, so that nothing is lost.
13 So they gathered and filled twelve baskets with pieces, so that of the five barley loaves there was left over to those who had eaten.
14 Those men then, seeing the sign that Jesus had done, said, This truly is the prophet who was to come into the world.
15 But when Jesus knew that they were coming to take him and make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone.

Jesus walks on the sea

16 When it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 and getting into a boat, they crossed the sea toward Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose with a great wind blowing.
19 When they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat; and they were afraid.
20 But he said to them, I am he; do not fear.
21 They then gladly received him into the boat, which immediately arrived at the land where they were going.

People look for Jesus

22 The next day, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone alone.
23 But other boats had arrived from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
24 So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they entered the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus, the bread of life

25 And finding him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26 Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the bread and were filled.
27 Work, not for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; because God the Father appointed him.
28 Then they said to him, What must we do to carry out the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.
30 Then they said to him, What sign then do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 And Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is that which came down from heaven and gives life to the world.
34 They said to him, Lord, give us this bread always.
35 Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life; He who comes to me will never hunger; and he who believes in me will never thirst.
36 But I have told you that although you have seen me, you do not believe.
37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me; and whoever comes to me I will not cast out.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me.

39 And this is the will of the Father, who sent me: That of all that he gives me, I should lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
40 And this is the will of him who sent me: That everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.
41 Then the Jews murmured about him, because he had said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does this man say: I have come down from heaven?
43 Jesus answered and said to them, Do not murmur among yourselves.

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Therefore, everyone who heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, but he who came from God; He has seen the Father.
47 Truly, truly, I say to you: He who believes in me has eternal life.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.
50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that whoever eats it may not die.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 Then the Jews contended among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will also live because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna and died; He who eats this bread will live forever.
59 These things he said in the synagogue, teaching in Capernaum.

Words of eternal life

60 When many of his disciples heard them, they said, This is a hard word; who can hear it?
61 Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them: Does this offend you?
62 What then if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was first?
63 The spirit is what gives life; the meat is useless; The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64 But there are some of you who do not believe. Because Jesus knew from the beginning who those who did not believe were, and who would betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore I have told you that no one can come to me unless he is given to him from the Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Do you also want to go away?
68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69 And we have believed and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; because this was the one who was going to betray him, and he was one of the twelve.

John Chapter 7

Disbelief of Jesus' brothers

1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee; Well, he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him.
2 The festival of the Jews, the festival of tabernacles, was near;
3 And his brothers said to him, Get out of here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works you do.
4 For no one who seeks to make himself known does anything in secret. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
5 Because not even his brothers believed in him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but he hates me, because I testify of him that his works are evil.
8 Go up to the party; I am not going up to that party yet, because my time has not yet come to an end.
9 And when he had told them this, he remained in Galilee.

Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles

10 But after his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as if in secret.
11 And the Jews looked for him at the festival, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was a great murmur about him among the crowd, for some said, He is good; But others said: No, but he deceives the people.
13 But no one spoke openly about him, for fear of the Jews.
14 But in the middle of the festival Jesus went up to the temple and was teaching.
15 And the Jews were amazed, saying, How does this man know letters, without having studied?
16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 He who wants to do the will of God will know whether the doctrine is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
18 He who speaks on his own account seeks his own glory from him; But whoever seeks the glory of Him who sent him, this is true, and there is no injustice in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you keep the law? Why are you trying to kill me?
20 The crowd answered and said, You have a demon; who is trying to kill you?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, A work I did, and you all marvel.
22 By the way, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers); and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I completely healed a man on the Sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.

Is this the Christ?

25 Then some from Jerusalem said, Is this not the one they seek to kill?
26 Well, look, he speaks publicly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
27 But this one, we know where he is from; but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.
28 Then Jesus, teaching in the temple, lifted up his voice and said, You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 But I know him, because I came from him, and he sent me.
30 Then they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his time had not yet come.
31 And many of the crowd believed in him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more signs than this one does?

The Pharisees send officers to arrest Jesus

32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things about him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, and I will go to him who sent me.”
34 You will search for me, and you will not find me; and where I will be, you will not be able to come.
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, Where shall this man go, that we may not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and will he teach the Greeks?
36 What does this mean that he said, You will seek me, and you will not find me; Now where I will be, you will not be able to come?

Rivers of living water

37 On the last and great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and lifted up his voice, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.”
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within him.
39 This he said of the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Division among the people

40 Then some of the crowd, hearing these words, said, Truly this is the prophet.
41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Will the Christ come from Galilee?
42 Does not the Scripture say that from the lineage of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was, the Christ will come?
43 Then there was dissension among the people because of him.
44 And some of them wanted to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him.

Never has a man spoken like that!

45 The officers came to the chief priests and the Pharisees; and these said to them: Why have you not brought him?
46 The officers answered, “No man has ever spoken like this man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them: Have you also been deceived?
48 Has any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in him?
49 But these people who do not know the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus, who came to him by night, who was one of them, said to them:
51 Does our law judge a man unless it first hears him and knows what he has done?
52 They answered and said to him, Are you also a Galilean? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen from Galilee.
53 Each one went to his house;

John Chapter 8

The adulterous woman

1 and Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 And in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a woman caught in adultery; and putting her in the midst of her,
4 they said to him: Master, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery.
5 And in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?
6 But they said this, tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus, leaning towards the ground, wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 And when they persisted in asking him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 And bowing down again to the ground, he continued writing on the ground.
9 But when they heard this, being accused by their conscience, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest to the last; and only Jesus was left, and the woman who was in the middle.
10 Jesus straightened up, and seeing no one but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those who accused you? Did no one condemn you?
11 She said: None, Lord. Then Jesus said to him: Neither do I condemn you; Go away and sin no more.

Jesus, the light of the world

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
13 Then the Pharisees said to him, “You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: Although I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I don’t judge anyone.
16 And if I judge, my judgment is true; because it is not I alone, but I and the one who sent me, the Father.
17 And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am he who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.
19 They said to him: Where is your Father? Jesus answered: You neither know me nor my Father; If you knew me, you would also know my Father.
20 These words Jesus spoke in the place of offerings, teaching in the temple; and no one arrested him, because his time had not yet come.

Where I go, you cannot come

21 Again Jesus said to them: I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin; Where I go, you cannot come.
22 Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself, for he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
23 And he said to them, You are from below, I am from above; You are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.
25 Then they said to him, Who are you? Then Jesus said to them: What I have told you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and judge about you; but he who sent me is true; and I, what I have heard from him, this I speak to the world.
27 But they did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
28 So Jesus said to them: When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am, and that I do nothing of Myself, but as the Father taught me, so I speak.
29 For he who sent me is with me; The Father has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.
30 When he spoke these things, many believed in him.

The truth will make you free

31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him: If you continue in my word, you will truly be my disciples;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
33 They answered him: We are Abraham’s lineage, and we have never been slaves to anyone. How do you say: You will be free?
34 Jesus answered them: Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.
35 And the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.

36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I speak what I have seen near the Father; and you do what you have heard from your father.

You belong to your father the devil

39 They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this.
41 You do the works of your father. Then they said to him: We are not born of fornication; We have one father, who is God.
42 Jesus then said to them: If your father were God, you would surely love me; for I have come forth from God, and have come; for I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why don’t you understand my language? Because you can not hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He has been a murderer from the beginning, and has not abided in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of himself; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 And you do not believe me, because I speak the truth.
46 Which of you accuses me of sin? Well, if I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me?
47 He who belongs to God hears the words of God; This is why you do not hear them, because you are not from God.

The preexistence of Christ

48 Then the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say correctly, that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?
49 Jesus answered: I have no demon, but I honor my Father; and you dishonor me.
50 But I do not seek my glory; there are those who seek it, and judge.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.
52 Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say: He who keeps my word, he will never suffer death.
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself?
54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; My Father is the one who glorifies me, the one you say is your God.
55 But you do not know him; but I know him, and if I said that I did not know him, he would be a liar like you; but I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day; and he saw it, and he rejoiced.
57 Then the Jews said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and left the temple; and passing through their midst, he departed.

John Chapter 9

Jesus heals a man blind from birth

1 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered: It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
4 It is necessary for me to do the works of him who sent me, while the day lasts; The night comes, when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the saliva, and anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
7 and said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, Sent). So he went, and he washed, and came back seeing.
8 Then the neighbors, and those who had seen before that he was blind, said, Is not this the one who sat and begged?
9 Some said: He is he; and others: He looks like him. He said: I am.
10 And they said to him, How were your eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, The man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and received my sight.
12 Then they said to him, Where is he? He said: I don’t know.

The Pharisees question the healed blind man

22Esto dijeron sus padres, porque tenían miedo de los judíos, por cuanto los judíos ya habían acordado que si alguno confesase que Jesús era el Mesías, fuera expulsado de la sinagoga.
23Por eso dijeron sus padres: Edad tiene, preguntadle a él.
24Entonces volvieron a llamar al hombre que había sido ciego, y le dijeron: Da gloria a Dios; nosotros sabemos que ese hombre es pecador.

25Entonces él respondió y dijo: Si es pecador, no lo sé; una cosa sé, que habiendo yo sido ciego, ahora veo.
26Le volvieron a decir: ¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?
27El les respondió: Ya os lo he dicho, y no habéis querido oir; ¿por qué lo queréis oír otra vez? ¿Queréis también vosotros haceros sus discípulos?
28Y le injuriaron, y dijeron: Tú eres su discípulo; pero nosotros, discípulos de Moisés somos.
29Nosotros sabemos que Dios ha hablado a Moisés; pero respecto a ése, no sabemos de dónde sea.
30Respondió el hombre, y les dijo: Pues esto es lo maravilloso, que vosotros no sepáis de dónde sea, y a mí me abrió los ojos.
31Y sabemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores; pero si alguno es temeroso de Dios, y hace su voluntad, a ése oye.
32Desde el principio no se ha oído decir que alguno abriese los ojos a uno que nació ciego.
33Si éste no viniera de Dios, nada podría hacer.
34Respondieron y le dijeron: Tú naciste del todo en pecado, ¿y nos enseñas a nosotros? Y le expulsaron.

Ceguera espiritual

35Oyó Jesús que le habían expulsado; y hallándole, le dijo: ¿Crees tú en el Hijo de Dios?
36Respondió él y dijo: ¿Quién es, Señor, para que crea en él?
37Le dijo Jesús: Pues le has visto, y el que habla contigo, él es.
38Y él dijo: Creo, Señor; y le adoró.
39Dijo Jesús: Para juicio he venido yo a este mundo; para que los que no ven, vean, y los que ven, sean cegados.
40Entonces algunos de los fariseos que estaban con él, al oír esto, le dijeron: ¿Acaso nosotros somos también ciegos?
41Jesús les respondió: Si fuerais ciegos, no tendríais pecado; mas ahora, porque decís: Vemos, vuestro pecado permanece.

Juan Capítulo 10

Parábola del redil

1 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in by another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To this one the gatekeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4 And when he has brought out all his own, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 But they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.
6 This allegory Jesus told them; but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Jesus the good shepherd

7 So Jesus said to them again: Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the gate of the sheep.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door; He who enters through me will be saved; and he will go in, and he will go out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it in abundance.
11 I am the good shepherd; The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 But the hireling, who is not the shepherd, whose sheep are not his own, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.
13 So the hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and does not care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep, and mine know me,
15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 I also have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must also bring those, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock, and one shepherd.
17 That is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have the power to put it down, and I have the power to take it back. This commandment I received from my Father.
19 There was again dissension among the Jews because of these words.
20 Many of them said: He has a demon, and he is out of his mind; why do you listen to him?
21 Others said: These words are not those of a demon possessed. Can the devil open the eyes of the blind?

Jews reject Jesus

22 The festival of dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem. It was winter,
the 23rd , and Jesus was walking in the temple through Solomon’s porch.

24 And the Jews surrounded him and said to him, How long will you trouble our souls? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and you do not believe; The works that I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness to me;
26 But you do not believe, because you are not one of my sheep, as I told you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,
28 and I give them eternal life; and they will never perish, nor will anyone snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father; for who of them do you stone at me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, become God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
35 If he called gods those to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
36 him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
39 They tried again to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
40 And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had first been baptizing; and he stayed there.
41 And many came to him, and said, John, indeed, did no sign; but everything that John said about him was true.
42 And many believed in him there.

John Chapter 11

Death of Lazarus

1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick, from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.)
3 So the sisters sent to Jesus to say, Lord, behold, the one you love is sick. .
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 And Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus.
6 So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, Let us go to Judea again.
8 The disciples said to him, Rabbi, now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?
9 Jesus answered: Is there not twelve hours in the day? He who walks by day does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;
10 But he who walks at night stumbles, because there is no light in him.
11 Having said this, he said to them afterwards: Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to wake him up.
12 Then his disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he will recover.
13 But Jesus said this about the death of Lazarus; and they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.
14 Then Jesus told them clearly: Lazarus is dead;
15 and I am glad for you that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let’s go to him.
16 Then Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Jesus, the resurrection and life

17 So Jesus came and found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs away;
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them for her brother.
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Maria stayed at home.
21 And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I also know now that whatever you ask of God, God will give it to you.
23 Jesus said to him, Your brother will rise again.
24 Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.
25 She said to him, Jesus, I am the resurrection and the life; He who believes in me, even though he is dead, he will live.
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me will not die forever. Do you believe this?
27 She said to him: Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world.

Jesus cries at the tomb of Lazarus

28 Having said this, he went and called Mary his sister, secretly saying to her, The Master is here and is calling for you.
29 When she heard it, she quickly got up and came to him.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village, but he was in the place where Martha had found him.
31 Then the Jews who were in the house with her and were comforting her, when they saw that Mary had arisen quickly and had left her, they followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there.
32 When Mary came to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
33 Jesus then, seeing her weeping, and the Jews who were with her also weeping for her, was shaken in spirit and moved,
34 and said, Where did you put him? They said to him: Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus cried.
36 Then the Jews said, See how he loved him.
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, also have prevented Lazarus from dying?

Resurrection of Lazarus

38 Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and had a stone placed over.
39 Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him: Lord, it is already stinking, because it has been four days.
40 Jesus said to him, Have I not told you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?
41 Then they removed the stone from where the dead man had been laid. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes on high, said: Father, I thank you for having heard me.
42 I knew that you always hear me; But I said it for the sake of the crowd that is around, so that they may believe that you have sent me.
43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!
44 And he who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped in a napkin. Jesus said to them: Untie him, and let him go.

The plot to kill Jesus

45 Then many of the Jews who had come to accompany Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the council, and said, What shall we do? Because this man does many signs.
48 If we leave him like this, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and destroy our holy place and our nation.
49 Then Caiaphas, one of them, high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing;
50 Nor do you think that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.
51 He did not say this himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation;
52 and not only for the nation, but also to gather together the children of God who were scattered abroad.
53 So from that day they agreed to kill him.
54 Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but he departed from there to the region adjacent to the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and he stayed there with his disciples.
55 And the Passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from that region to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 And they sought Jesus, and while they were in the temple, they asked one another: What do you think? Do not come to the party?
57 And the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should reveal it, so that they could arrest him.

Juan Capítulo 12

Jesus is anointed in Bethany

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom he had raised from the dead.
2 And they made him a supper there; Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of very precious pure nard ointment, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; And the house was filled with the smell of perfume.
4 And one of her disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, who was to betray her, said:
5 Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the purse, he stole what was put in it.
7 Then Jesus said, Leave her; He has saved this for the day of my burial.
8 Because you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.

The plot against Lazarus

9 A great multitude of the Jews then learned that he was there, and they came, not only for Jesus’ sake, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests also agreed to kill Lazarus,
11 because because of him many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus.

The triumphal entry into Jerusalem

12 The next day, large crowds that had come to the festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 And Jesus found a donkey, and sat upon it, as it is written:
15 Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King comes, Riding on a donkey’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 about him, and that they had been done to him.
17 And the people who were with him bore witness when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead.
18 Therefore the people also had come to meet him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 But the Pharisees said among themselves, You see that you get nothing. Look, the world is going after him.

Some Greeks are looking for Jesus

20 There were certain Greeks among those who had gone up to worship at the festival.
21 These therefore came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and besought him, saying, Lord, we would like to see Jesus.
22 Philip went and told Andrew; so Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 He who loves his life will lose it; and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 If anyone serves me, follow me; and where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, my Father will honor him.

Jesus announces his death

27 Now my soul is troubled; and what will I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this I have come to this hour.

28 Father, glorify your name. Then a voice came from heaven: I have glorified him, and I will glorify him again.
29 And the crowd that was there, and had heard the voice, said that it was thunder. Others said: An angel has spoken to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice has not come because of me, but because of you.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to myself.
33 And he said this, signifying what death he was going to die of.
34 The people answered him: We have heard of the law, that the Christ abides forever. How then do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?
35 Then Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while; walk while you have light, so that darkness does not overtake you; because he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. These things Jesus spoke, and he went away and hid himself from them.

Disbelief of the Jews

37 But even though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him;
38 that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, who said: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah also said:
40 He blinded their eyes, and hardened his heart; So that they do not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, And convert and I heal them.
41 Isaiah said this when he saw his glory, and spoke about him.
42 With all this, even among the rulers, many believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue.
43 Because they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

The words of Jesus will judge men

44 Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me does not believe in me, but in him who sent me;
45 and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 I, the light, have come into the world, so that whoever believes in me will not remain in darkness.
47 He who hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge; because I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He who rejects me and does not receive my words, he has someone to judge him; the word that I have spoken, it will judge him on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken on my own authority; The Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, what I speak, I speak as the Father has told me.

John Chapter 13

Jesus washes the feet of his disciples

1 Before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come for him to pass from this world to the Father, just as he had loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 And when they were dining, as the devil had already put it in 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 out from God, now God was going,
4 he got up from supper, and took off his cloak, and took a towel, and wrapped it around him.
5 Then he put water in 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 to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do, you do not understand now; but you will understand it later.
8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him: If I do not wash you, you will have no part with me.
9 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus said to him: He who is washed, he only needs to wash his feet, for he is all clean; and you are clean, although not all of you.
11 Because he knew who was going to betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, he took his cloak, returned to the table, and said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
13 You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, because I am.
14 For if I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also must wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, you also should do.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master, neither is the messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
18 I am not talking about all of you; I know who I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled: He who eats bread with me, he lifted up his heel against me.
19 From now on I tell you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that it is I.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whom I send, he receiveth me; and he who receives me, he receives him who sent me

Jesus announces the betrayal of Judas

21 When Jesus had said this, he was moved in spirit, and declared and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, One of you is going to betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked at one another, doubting who was speaking.
23 And one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying beside Jesus.

24 Simon Peter then made signs to him to ask who he was of whom he spoke.
25 Then he, lying close to Jesus’ chest, said to him, Lord, who is he?
26 Jesus answered: To whomever I give the wet bread, he is the same. And dipping the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
27 And after the bite, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you are going to do, do it sooner.
28 But none of those at the table understood why he said this to him.
29 For some thought, since Judas had the purse, that Jesus was saying to him: Buy what we need for the festival; or give something to the poor.
30 So when he had taken the morsel, immediately he went out; and it was already night.

The new commandment

31 Then when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and immediately glorify him.
33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will look for me; But as I said to the Jews, so I say to you now: Where I am going, you cannot go.
34 A new commandment I give you: That you love one another; As I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

Jesus announces Peter's denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him: Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you will follow me later.
37 Peter said to him, Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.
38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you: The rooster will not crow unless you have denied me three times.

John Chapter 14

Jesus, the way to the Father

1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house there are many mansions; If it were not so, I would have told you; So I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am, you may also be.
4 And you know where I am going, and you know the way.
5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; How then can we know the way?
6 Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you knew me, you would also know my Father; and from now on you know him, and you have seen him.
8 Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
9 Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me, he has seen the Father; How then do you say: Show us the Father?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; Otherwise, believe me for the works themselves.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth in me, the works that I do, he shall do also; and he will do even greater things, because I go to the Father.
13 And whatever you ask the Father in my name, I will do it, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

The promise of the Holy Spirit

15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may be with you forever:
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, because he dwells with you, and he will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; Because I live, you will also live.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

22 Judas (not the Iscariot) said to him: Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?
23 Jesus answered and said to him, He who loves me will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you have heard is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 I have told you these things while I was with you.
26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and he will remind you of everything I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard that I said to you, I go and come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I have said that I am going to the Father; because the Father is greater than me.
29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.
30 I will not speak much with you anymore; for the prince of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Get up, let’s get out of here.

John Chapter 15

Jesus, the true vine

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he will take away; and everyone who bears fruit will cleanse it, so that it may bear more fruit.
3 Now you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches; He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; because apart from me you can do nothing.
6 He who does not abide in me will be cast out like a branch and wither; and they gather them up, and throw them into the fire, and they burn.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
8 In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so are my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; just as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
11 I have spoken these things to you, so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be fulfilled.
12 This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 I will no longer call you servants, because the servant does not know what his master is doing; But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 This I command you: That you love one another.

The world will hate you

18 If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; But because you are not of the world, but I chose you from the world, that is why the world hates you.

20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; If they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 But they will do all this to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He who hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done works among them that no one else has done, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and hated me and my Father.
25 But this is so that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled: They hated me without cause.
26 But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 And you will also bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

John Chapter 16

1 I have spoken these things to you, so that you may not stumble.
2 They will expel you from the synagogues; And the hour is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is serving God.
3 And they will do this because they do not know the Father or me.

The work of the Holy Spirit

4 But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you will remember that I already told you. I did not tell you this at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go to him who sent me; and none of you ask me: Where are you going?
6 But because I have told you these things, sadness has filled your hearts.
7 But I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; because if I did not go, the Comforter would not come to you; But if he goes away, I will send him to you.
8 And when he comes, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
9 Of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will see me no more;
11 and of judgment, because the prince of this world has already been judged.
12 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own account, but he will speak whatever he hears, and he will make known to you the things that are to come.
14 He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and he will make it known to you.
15 Everything the Father has is mine; That is why I said that he will take what is mine, and he will let you know.

Sadness will turn into joy

16 Still a little while, and you will not see me; and again a little, and you will see me; because I go to the Father.
17 Then some of his disciples said to each other, What is this that he says to us: A little while and you will not see me; and again a little, and you will see me; And, why do I go to the Father?

21 When a woman gives birth, she is in pain, because her time has come; but after she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for the joy that a man has been born into the world.
18 So they said, What does she mean by, Still a little while? We don’t understand what she’s talking about.
19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them: Do you ask among yourselves about this thing that I said: A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me?

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; But even if you are sad, your sadness will turn into joy.

22 You also now have sadness; But I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
23 On that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.

I have overcome the world

25 These things I have spoken to you in allegories; The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will clearly announce to you about the Father.
26 On that day you will ask in my name; and I do not tell you that I will pray to the Father for you,
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
28 I came out from the Father, and I have come into the world; again he left the world, and went to the Father.
29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak clearly, and you speak no allegory.
30 Now we understand that you know all things, and you do not need anyone to ask you; This is why we believe that you have come from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do you believe now?
32 Behold, the hour is coming, and has already come, when you will be scattered every one to his side, and you will leave me alone; but I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble; but trust, I have overcome the world.

John Chapter 17

Jesus prays for his disciples

1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may also glorify you;
2 just as you have given him power over all flesh, so that he may give eternal life to all those whom you have given him.
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on earth; I have finished the work that you gave me to do.
5 Now therefore, Father, glorify me at your side, with that glory that I had with you before the world was.
6 I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world; They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7 Now they have known that all the things you have given me come from you;
8 for the words that you gave me, I have given them; and they received them, and have truly known that I came from you, and have believed that you sent me.
9 I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those you gave me; for they are yours,
10 and all that is mine is yours, and that which is yours is mine; and I have been glorified in them.
11 And I am no longer in the world; but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me in your name, so that they may be one, just as we are.
12 When I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name; Those whom you gave me I kept, and none of them was lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I come to you; and I speak this in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, any more than I am of the world.
15 I do not pray that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from evil.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in your truth; Your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19 And through them I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in the truth.
20 But I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,

21 so that all may be one; as you, O Father, are in me, and I in you, may they also be one in us; so that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfect in unity, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
24 Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory that you have given me; for you have loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you sent me.
26 And I have made your name known to them, and I will make it known even more, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.

John Chapter 18

Arrest of Jesus

1 When Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the Kidron brook, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 And Judas, who betrayed him, also knew that place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore, taking a company of soldiers, and officers of the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches, and with weapons.
4 But Jesus, knowing all things that would come upon him, went forward and said to them, Whom are you looking for?
5 They answered him: To Jesus of Nazarene. Jesus said to them: I am. And Judas, the one who betrayed him, was also with them.
6 When he said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 So he asked them again: Whom are you looking for? And they said: To Jesus of Nazarene.
8 Jesus answered: I have told you that I am; Well, if you look for me, let these go;
9 so that what he had said might be fulfilled: Of those you gave me, I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the servant’s name was Malchus.
11 Jesus then said to Peter, Put your sword into its sheath; the cup that the Father has given me, should I not drink it?

Jesus before the high priest

12 Then the company of soldiers, the tribune and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,
13 and took him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 It was Caiaphas who had given the advice to the Jews that it was appropriate for one man to die for the people.

Peter in the courtyard of Annas

15 And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. And this disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 But Peter was outside at the door. So the disciple who was known to the high priest came out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 Then the maid-servant said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man’s disciples? He said: I am not.
18 And the servants and the officers who had kindled a fire were standing; because it was cold, and they warmed themselves; And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.

Annas questions Jesus

19 And the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken publicly to the world; I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather, and I have not spoken anything in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing there slapped him, saying, “Is this how you answer the high priest?”
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, testify wherein the evil is; And if so, why are you hitting me?
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

Peter denies Jesus

25 So Peter was standing, warming himself. And they said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said to him, Did I not see you in the garden with him?
27 Peter denied again; and immediately he crowed.

Jesus before Pilate

28 They took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning, and they did not enter the praetorium so as not to defile themselves, and thus be able to eat the Passover.
29 Then Pilate came out to them and said to them, What accusation do you bring against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.
31 Then Pilate said to them, Take him and judge him according to your law. And the Jews said to him: It is not permitted for us to kill anyone;
32 that the word that Jesus had spoken might be fulfilled, signifying what death he was going to die.
33 Then Pilate entered again into the praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him: Do you say this for yourself, or have others told you about me?
35 Pilate answered him: Am I a Jew? Your nation, and the chief priests, have handed you over to me. What have you done?
36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; But my kingdom is not from here.
37 Then Pilate said to him: Are you then a king? Jesus answered: You say that I am king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate said to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said unto them, I find no crime in him.
39 But it is your custom that I release one to you at the Passover. Do you then want me to release to you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a thief.

John Chapter 19

1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and clothed him with a purple robe;
3 and they said to him: Hail, King of the Jews! and they slapped him.
4 Then Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may understand that I find no crime in him.
5 And Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them: Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them: Take him and crucify him; because I find no crime in him.
7 The Jews answered him: We have a law, and according to our law he must die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate heard this said, he was even more afraid.
9 And he entered again into the praetorium, and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then he said to him, Pilate, Are you not speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have authority to crucify you, and that I have authority to release you?
11 Jesus answered: You would have no authority against me unless it were given to you from above; Therefore, he who handed me over to you has the greater sin.
12 From then on Pilate tried to release him; But the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar; Everyone who becomes king opposes Caesar.
13 Then Pilate, hearing this, brought Jesus out, and sat down at the judgment seat in the place called the Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabathah.
14 It was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. Then he said to the Jews: Behold your King!
15 But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
16 So he then handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

Crucifixion and death of Jesus

17 And he, carrying his cross, went out to the place called the Skull, and in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18 And there they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate also wrote a title, which he placed on the cross, which said: JESUS ​​OF NAZARENE, KING OF THE JEWS.
20 And many of the Jews read this title; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the title was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write: King of the Jews; but, he said: I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic, which was seamless, made of one fabric from top to bottom.
24 Then they said among themselves, Let us not break it, but let us cast lots for it, to see whose it will be. This was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says: They divided my clothes among themselves, And they cast lots for my clothes. And so did the soldiers.
25 His mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene, were standing at the cross of Jesus.
26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing present, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son.
27 Then he said to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple received her into his house.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that everything was now finished, he said, that the Scripture might be fulfilled: I thirst.
29 And there was a vessel full of vinegar; Then they soaked a sponge in vinegar, and putting it on a hyssop, they put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And bowing his head, he gave up the spirit.

Jesus' side pierced

31 Then the Jews, because it was the preparation of the Passover, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath day was of great solemnity), besought Pilate that their legs, and were taken away from there.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and also of the other who had been crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, seeing him already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he speaks truth, so that you also may believe.
36 For these things took place to fulfill the Scripture: No bone of his will be broken.
37 And also another Scripture says: They will look at him whom they pierced.

Jesus is buried

38 After all this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, begged Pilate to allow him to take the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted it. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.
39 Nicodemus also, who had previously visited Jesus at night, came bringing a compound of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with spices, according to the custom of burial among the Jews.
41 And in the place where he had been crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
42 There therefore, because of the preparation of the Passover of the Jews, and because that tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

John Chapter 20

The resurrection

1 On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark; and she saw the stone removed from the tomb.
2 Then she ran, and she went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and she said to them: They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.
3 And Peter and the other disciple went out and went to the tomb.
4 They both ran together; but the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and reached the tomb first.
5 And going down to look, she saw the linen cloths laid there, but she did not enter.
6 Then Simon Peter came after him and entered the tomb, and saw the linen cloths laid there,
7 and the shroud, which had been on Jesus’ head, not placed with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a separate place.
8 Then the other disciple also entered, who had come first to the tomb; and he saw, and believed.
9 For they had not yet understood the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10 And the disciples returned to their own.

Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary was outside weeping at the tomb; and while she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb;
12 she and she saw two angels in white garments, sitting one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
13 And they said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them: Because they have taken my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.
14 When she had said this, she turned, and she saw Jesus standing there; but she did not know it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for? She, thinking that it was the gardener, said to him: Lord, if you have taken him, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.
16 Jesus said to her: Mary! Turning around, he said to her: Raboni! (which means, Master).
17 Jesus said to him, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
18 Then Mary Magdalene went to tell the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had told her these things.

Jesus appears to the disciples

19 When the evening of that same day, the first of the week, came, the doors being closed in the place where the disciples were gathered for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, Peace be with you.
20 And when he had told them this, he showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21 Then Jesus said to them again: Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit.
23 Whose sins you remit, they are remitted; and from whom you retain them, they are retained.

Thomas' disbelief

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. He said to them: Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside him again, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being closed, and he stood in the middle and said to them: Peace be with you.
27 Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger here, and look at my hands; and reach out your hand and put it in my side; and do not be an unbeliever, but a believer.
28 Then Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!
29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me, Thomas, you believed; Blessed are those who have not seen, but have believed.

The purpose of the book

30 Jesus also did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

John Chapter 21

Jesus appears to seven of his disciples

1 After this, Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the Sea of ​​Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way:
2 There were together Simon Peter, Thomas called the Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him: Let us also go with you. They went and entered a boat; and that night they caught nothing.
4 When it was already dawn, Jesus appeared on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 And he said to them, Little children, do you have anything to eat? They answered him: No.
6 He said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find it. Then they threw it out, and they couldn’t take it out anymore, due to the large number of fish.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! Simon Peter, when he heard that he was the Lord, put on his clothes (because he had put them off), and threw himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net of fish, since they were not far from land but about two hundred cubits.
9 When they went down to land, they saw burning coals laid out, and a fish on them, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish you have just caught.
11 Simon Peter went up and brought the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the network was not broken.
12 Jesus said to them: Come, eat. And none of the disciples dared to ask him: Who are you? knowing that he was the Lord.
13 So Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and also some of the fish.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples, after having risen from the dead.

Feed my sheep

15 When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He answered him: Yes, Lord; You know that I love you. He said to him: Feed my lambs.
16 He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? Peter answered him: Yes, Lord; You know that I love you. He said to him: Shepherd my sheep.
17 He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? Pedro was saddened that he said to him the third time: Do you love me? and he answered him: Lord, you know everything; You know that I love you. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep.

18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and went wherever you wanted; But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you, and take you where you do not want to go.
19 This he said, showing by what death he was to glorify God. And having said this, he added: Follow me.

The beloved disciple

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them, the same one who had reclined next to him at supper and had said to him, “Lord, who is it that will betray you?”
21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about this one?
22 Jesus said to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.
23 This saying then spread among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but rather: If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things, and he wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I think that not even the world would fit the books that would be written. Amen.
