Synopsis: Jesus as the embodiment (more than just incarnation) of Yahweh Himself. A concept arguably counterintuitive to human thought, but one that also is infinitely more profound than wordly human relationships. By becoming human, God has entered into His own creation; a reassuring affirmation that we, as part of that creation, are chosen by God to be one with Him.
Salient Points:
- 1:3 All things were made by him; and
outside him was not any thing made that was made.
- 1:5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
- 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
- 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
- 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
- 1:18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
- 1:32 And John bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost.
- 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!
- 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says unto him, Come and see.
- 1:49 Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe? you shall see greater things than these.
1:51 And he says unto him, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
- 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says unto him, They have no wine.
- 2:4 Jesus says unto her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour is not yet come.
- 2:5 His mother says unto the servants, Whatsoever he says unto you, do it.
- 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
- 2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has eaten me up.
- 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
- 2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
- 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
- 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
- 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
- 3:15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
- 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
- 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
- 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
- 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
- 3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
- 3:28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I [John the Baptist] am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
- 3:29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
- 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
- 3:31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
- 3:32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
- 3:33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
- 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure [i.e. without limit or restriction] unto him.
- 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
- 3:36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
- 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her [the woman at the well], If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
- 4:14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
- 4:21 Jesus says unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
- 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
- 4:25 The woman says unto him, I know that Messiah comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
4:26 Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto you am he.
- 5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
- 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
- 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
- 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
- 5:21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives life to them; even so the Son gives life to whom he will.
- 5:23 That all men should honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
- 5:24 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
- 5:25 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
- 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
- 5:37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
- 5:38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
- 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
- 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
- 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
- 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
- 7:18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
- 7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
- 7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have you not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
- 8:12 Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
- 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of yourself; your record is not true.
- 8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and to where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and to where I go.
- 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, you neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.
- 8:23 And he said unto them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
- 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
- 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
- 8:34 Jesus answered them, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
- 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
- 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
- 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
- 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
- 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
- 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
- 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
10:15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
- 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
- 10:17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
10:18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
- 10:30 I and my Father are one.
- 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
- 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because you, being a man, make yourself God.
- 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods?
10:36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
- 10:38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
=========================================================
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and outside him was not any thing
made that was made.
1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
1:5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might believe.
1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
1:9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into
the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.
1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
1:15 John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom
I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ.
1:18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is
in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
———————————————————————————–
1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
stands one among you, whom you know not;
1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John
was baptizing.
1:29 The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold
the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.
1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
1:32 And John bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy
Ghost.
1:34 And I saw, and bore record that this is the Son of God.
1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of
God!
1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says unto them,
What do you seek? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being
interpreted, Master,) where do you dwell?
1:39 He says unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
dwelled, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
1:41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says unto him, We have
found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said,
You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by
interpretation, A stone.
1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds
Philip, and says unto him, Follow me.
1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
1:45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says unto him, We have found him, of
whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth,
the son of Joseph.
1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of
Nazareth? Philip says unto him, Come and see.
1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
1:48 Nathanael says unto him, >From where know you me? Jesus answered
and said unto him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under
the fig tree, I saw you.
1:49 Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, you are the Son of
God; you are the King of Israel.
1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw
you under the fig tree, you believe? you shall see greater things than
these.
1:51 And he says unto him, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you,
Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending
and descending upon the Son of man.

2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says unto him, They
have no wine.
2:4 Jesus says unto her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour is
not yet come.
2:5 His mother says unto the servants, Whatsoever he says unto you, do
it.
———————————————————————————–
2:13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.
2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves,
and the changers of money sitting:
2:15 And when he had made a whip of small cords, he drove them all out
of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make
not my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
your house has eaten me up.
2:18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign do you show
unto us, seeing that you are doing these things?
2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.
2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and will you rear it up in three days?
2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the
scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day,
many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all
men,
2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what
was in man.
———————————————————————————–
3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from
heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up:
3:15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes
not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were
evil.
3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to
the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
———————————————————————————–
3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and
the Jews about purifying.
3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same
baptizes, and all men come to him.
3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be
given him from heaven.
3:28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ,
but that I am sent before him.
3:29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of
the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
3:31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above
all.
3:32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man
receives his testimony.
3:33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God
is true.
3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives
not the Spirit by measure unto him.
3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
3:36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that
believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides
on him.
———————————————————————————–
4:5 Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near
to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with
his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
4:7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says unto her,
Give me to drink.
4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
4:9 Then says the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you,
being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God,
and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked
of him, and he would have given you living water.
4:11 The woman says unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and
the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
4:12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well,
and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water
shall thirst again:
4:14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall
never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a
well of water springing up into everlasting life.
4:15 The woman says unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst
not, neither come to here to draw.
4:16 Jesus says unto her, Go, call your husband, and come to here.
4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto
her, You have well said, I have no husband:
4:18 For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not
your husband: in that said you truly.
4:19 The woman says unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
4:21 Jesus says unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the
Father.
4:22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for
salvation is of the Jews.
4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such
to worship him.
4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth.
4:25 The woman says unto him, I know that Messias comes, which is
called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
4:26 Jesus says unto her, I that speak unto you am he.
4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked
with the woman: yet no man said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk
with her?
4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city,
and says to the men,
4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not
this the Christ?
4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
4:31 In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
4:32 But he said unto them, I have food to eat that you know not of.
4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought
him anything to eat?
4:34 Jesus says unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent
me, and to finish his work.
4:35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then comes
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest.
4:36 And he that reaps receives wages, and scatters fruit unto life
eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice
together.
4:37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon you bestowed no labor: other men
labored, and you are entered into their labors.
4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the
saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
4:40 So when the Samaritans had come unto him, they asked him that he
would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;
4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of your
saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed
the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
———————————————————————————–
5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
5:11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me,
Take up your bed, and walk.
5:12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto you, Take
up your bed, and walk?
5:13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
5:14 Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him,
Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
you.
5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had
made him whole.
5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not
only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God.
5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Truthfully, truthfully, I
say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the
Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son
likewise.
5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that
himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you
may marvel.
5:21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives life to them;
even so the Son gives life to whom he will.
5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto
the Son:
5:23 That all men should honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.
He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
5:24 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, He that hears my word,
and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
5:25 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they
that hear shall live.
5:26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son
to have life in himself;
5:27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he
is the Son of man.
5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are
in the graves shall hear his voice,
5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.
5:30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the
Father which has sent me.
5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
5:32 There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the
witness which he witnesses of me is true.
5:33 You sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth.
5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say,
that you might be saved.
5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a
season to rejoice in his light.
5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which
the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear
witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
5:37 And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of
me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
5:38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent,
him you believe not.
5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me.

7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple,
and taught.
7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters,
having never learned?
7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his
that sent me.
7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
7:18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks
his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is
in him.
———————————————————————————–
7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers
to take him.
7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, yet a little while am I with you, and
then I go unto him that sent me.
7:34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, to
there you cannot come.
7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, To where will he go, that we
shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,
and teach the Gentiles?
7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, You shall seek me,
and shall not find me: and where I am, to there you cannot come?
7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus
was not yet glorified.)
7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said,
Of a truth this is the Prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come
out of Galilee?
7:42 Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of
David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on
him.
7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
they said unto them, Why have you not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
———————————————————————————–
8:12 Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.
8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of
yourself; your record is not true.
8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and to
where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and to where I go.
8:15 You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but
I and the Father that sent me.
8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is
true.
8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me
bears witness of me.
8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered,
you neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should
have known my Father also.
8:20 These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and you shall seek
me, and shall die in your sins: to where I go, you cannot come.
8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, To
where I go, you cannot come.
8:23 And he said unto them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you
are of this world; I am not of this world.
8:24 I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for
if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
8:25 Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them,
Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent
me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard
of him.
8:27 They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of
man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of
myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone;
for I do always those things that please him.
8:30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you
continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?
8:34 Jesus answered them, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you,
Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
8:35 And the servant abides not in the house forever: but the Son
abides ever.
8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free
indeed.
8:37 I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me,
because my word has no place in you.
8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that
which you have seen with your father.
8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
says unto them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works
of Abraham.
8:40 But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth,
which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
8:41 You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not
born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me.
8:43 Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear
my word.
8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he
speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
8:45 And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
8:46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do
you not believe me?
8:47 He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not,
because you are not of God.
8:48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that
you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and
you do dishonor me.
8:50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
8:51 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you have a devil.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my
saying, he shall never taste of death.
8:53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the
prophets are dead: who do you think you are?
8:54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my
Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
8:55 yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say,
I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and
keep his saying.
8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and
was glad.
8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and
have you seen Abraham?
8:58 Jesus said unto them, Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.
8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself,
and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so
passed by.
———————————————————————————–
9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they
which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words,
and said unto him, Are we blind also?
9:41 Jesus said unto them, If you were blind, you should have no sin:
but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
10:1 Truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, He that enters not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a
thief and a robber.
10:2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3 To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
10:4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and
the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for
they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This parable spoke Jesus unto them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spoke unto them.
10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Truthfully, truthfully, I say
unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.
10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10:10 The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the
sheep.
10:12 But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees:
and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
10:13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for
the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
10:15 As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the sheep.
10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
10:17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
10:18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.
10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
sayings.
10:20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear you
him?
10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a devil.
Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
———————————————————————————–
10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long
do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly.
10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works
that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
10:26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said
unto you.
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
10:30 I and my Father are one.
10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my
Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not;
but for blasphemy; and because you, being a man, make yourself God.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, you
are gods?
10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into
the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
10:38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that
you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand,
———————————————————————————–
14:8 Philip says unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices
us.
14:9 Jesus says unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
Have You not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the
Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
14:10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father
that dwells in me, he does the works.
14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
else believe me for the very works’ sake.
