I did. So when the Samaritans 40 came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days. And 41 many more believed because of his word; and they said to 42 the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, worship him must worship in 25 spirit and truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all 26 things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that 1 Or, white and know that this is indeed 27 unto harvest. Already he that reapeth &c. he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest 28 thou with her? So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to 29 the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: can this be the 30 Christ? They went out of the city, and were coming to 31 him. In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, 20r, king's 32 Rabbi, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that 33 ye know not. The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him 34 aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and 35 to accomplish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four officer the Saviour of the world. And after the two days he 43 went forth from thence into Galilec. For Jesus himself tes- 44 tified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. So 45 when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast for they also went unto the feast. He came therefore again 46 unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain 2 nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard 47 that Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was months, and then cometh the 3 Or, Lord at the point of death. Jesus 48 harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are 1 white already unto har36 vest. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth 37 may rejoice together. For therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. The 2 nobleman saith 49 unto him, 3 Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith un- 50 to him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto herein is the saying true, One 4 Gr. bond- him, and he went his way. soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour. servants. And as he was now going 51 down, his 4 servants met him, saying, that his son lived. So 52 he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father 53 knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, 1 Many ancient ties read ancient by the sheep gate a pool, which 2 Some is called in Hebrew 2 Bethesda, 3 having five porches. In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, wither5 ed3. And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infir6 mity. When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Would7 est thou be made whole? The sick man answered him, 4Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before 8 me. Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and 9 walk. And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on 10 that day. So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy 11 bed. But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up 12 thy bed, and walk. They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, 13 and walk? But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being 14 in the place. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou authori- saida, others, Bethzatha. 3 Many went down which had made him whole. Jesus therefore answered and 19 said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. For the Father lov- 20 eth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye I may marvel. For as the Father 21 raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will. For neither doth the Father 22 at certain judge any man, but he hath given all judgement unto the Son; that all may honour the 23 Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, 24 He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and comethi not into judgement, but hath passed out of death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, 25 The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. For 26 as the Father hath life in him seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever after the then first troubling of the water stepped in was made soever he was art made whole: sin no more, 4 Or, Lord self, even so gave he to the lest a worse thing befall thee. 15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus Son also to have life in himself: and he gave him autho- 27 rity to execute judgement, be cause he is 1 the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear 29 his voice, and shall come forth; 30 receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can 44 ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and the glory they that have done good, unto 1 Or, a son that cometh from the only of man 2 Or, practised 3 Or, Search the scriptures the resurrection of life; and they that have 2 done ill, unto the resurrection of judgement. I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that 31 sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witness33 eth of me is true. Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth. 34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that 35 ye may be saved. He was the lamp that burneth and shineth and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his 36 light. But the witness which I have is greater than that of ties read John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his 38 form. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe 39 not. 3 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear 40 witness of me; and ye will not come to me, that ye.may 41 have life. I receive not glory 42 from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of 43 God in yourselves. I am come in my Father's name, and yel 4 Some ancient authori the only one. 5 Gr. loaves. 6 See marginal note on Matt. xviii. 28. God ye seek not? Think not 45 that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye 46 would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not 47 his writings, how shall ye believe my words? After these things Jesus went 6 away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great mul- 2 titude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick. And Jesus went up into the 3 mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. Now the 4 passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Jesus therefore 5 lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy 5 bread, that these may eat? And this 6 he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two 7 hundred pennyworth of 5 bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, 8 Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, 9 which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? Jesus 10 said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. Jesus therefore took 11 the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as 12 they would. And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, 13 that nothing be lost. So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. 14 When therefore the people saw the 1sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world. 15 Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone. 16 And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the 17 sea; and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that 19 blew. When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and sus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. And 25 when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered 26 them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Work not for 27 the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you for him the Father, even God, hath sealed. They said 28 therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered 29 and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto 30 him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou? Our fathers ate the 31 manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. drawing nigh unto the boat: Gr. little Jesus therefore said unto them, 32 20 and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be 21 not afraid. They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. 22 boats. he sent On the morrow the multitude which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there 4 Or, was none other 2 boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples 23 went away alone (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had 24 given thanks): when the multitude therefore saw that Je Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. For 33 the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. They said therefore unto him, 34 Lord, evermore give us this bread. Jesus said unto them, 35 I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said 36 unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not. All 37 that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will 38 in no wise cast out. For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the 39 will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up 1 Or, that 40 at the last day. For this is the 41 will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of 43 heaven? Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not 44 among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him and I will raise him up 45 in the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath 46 learned, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is from God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eter48 nal life. I am the bread of 49 life. Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and 50 they died. This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat I should raise him up 2 Gr. true meat. 3 Gr. true drink. 4 Or, a synagogue 51 thereof, and not die. I am the 5 Or, him living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said 53 unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. He that eat- 54 eth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is 2 meat 55 indeed, and my blood is 3 drink indeed. He that eateth my 56 flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, 57 and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me. This is the bread which came 58 down out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. These things said 59 he in 4 the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disci- 60 ples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear 5 it? But Jesus knowing 61 in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble? What then if ye 62 should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? It is the spirit that 63 quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life. But there 64 are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him. And 65 he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father. Upon this many of his dis- 66 ciples went back, and walked no more with him. Jesus said 67 |
