Gospel of John 5-10

John 5:1

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to

Jerusalem.

John 5:2

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called

in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

John 5:3

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt,

withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

John 5:4

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and

troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the

water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

John 5:5

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight

years.

John 5:6

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in

that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

John 5:7

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is

troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another

steppeth down before me.

John 5:8

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

John 5:9

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and

walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

John 5:10

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath

day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

John 5:11

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take

up thy bed, and walk.

John 5:12

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up

thy bed, and walk?

John 5:13

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed

himself away, a multitude being in that place.

John 5:14

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold,

thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

John 5:15

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made

him whole.

John 5:16

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him,

because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

John 5:17

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

John 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.

John 5:19

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto

you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father

do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son

likewise.

John 5:20

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that

himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye

may marvel.

John 5:21

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so

the Son quickeneth whom he will.

John 5:22

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto

the Son:

John 5:23

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.

He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath

sent him.

John 5:24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and

believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not

come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:25

Verily, verily, 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.

John 5:26

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son

to have life in himself;

John 5:27

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is

the Son of man.

John 5:28

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are

in the graves shall hear his voice,

John 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.

John 5:30

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my

judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of

the Father which hath sent me.

John 5:31

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 5:32

There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the

witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

John 5:33

Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

John 5:34

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye

might be saved.

John 5:35

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a

season to rejoice in his light.

John 5:36

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the

Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear

witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

John 5:37

And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.

Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

John 5:38

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him

ye believe not.

John 5:39

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and

they are they which testify of me.

John 5:40

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

John 5:41

I receive not honour from men.

John 5:42

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

John 5:43

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another

shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

John 5:44

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not

the honour that cometh from God only?

John 5:45

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that

accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

John 5:46

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of

me.

John 5:47

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

John 6:1

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the

sea of Tiberias.

John 6:2

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles

which he did on them that were diseased.

John 6:3

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his

disciples.

John 6:4

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

John 6:5

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto

him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may

eat?

John 6:6

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

John 6:7

Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not

sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

John 6:8

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

John 6:9

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small

fishes: but what are they among so many?

John 6:10

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in

the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

John 6:11

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he

distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set

down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

John 6:12

When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the

fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

John 6:13

Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with

the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and

above unto them that had eaten.

John 6:14

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,

This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

John 6:15

When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by

force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself

alone.

John 6:16

And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

John 6:17

And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And

it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

John 6:18

And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

John 6:19

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they

see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and

they were afraid.

John 6:20

But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

John 6:21

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the

ship was at the land whither they went.

John 6:22

The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of

the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one

whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with

his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away

alone;

John 6:23

(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place

where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

John 6:24

When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his

disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking

for Jesus.

John 6:25

And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said

unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

John 6:26

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek

me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the

loaves, and were filled.

John 6:27

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which

endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto

you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

John 6:28

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the

works of God?

John 6:29

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye

believe on him whom he hath sent.

John 6:30

They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we

may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

John 6:31

Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave

them bread from heaven to eat.

John 6:32

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave

you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true

bread from heaven.

John 6:33

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth

life unto the world.

John 6:34

Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

John 6:35

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to

me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:36

But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

John 6:37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh

to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:38

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of

him that sent me.

John 6:39

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which

he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again

at the last day.

John 6:40

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth

the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will

raise him up at the last day.

John 6:41

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which

came down from heaven.

John 6:42

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and

mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

John 6:43

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among

yourselves.

John 6:44

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:

and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:45

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.

Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,

cometh unto me.

John 6:46

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he

hath seen the Father.

John 6:47

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath

everlasting life.

John 6:48

I am that bread of life.

John 6:49

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

John 6:50

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat

thereof, and not die.

John 6:51

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of

this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is

my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 6:52

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man

give us his flesh to eat?

John 6:53

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye

eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life

in you.

John 6:54

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and

I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:55

For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

John 6:56

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I

in him.

John 6:57

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he

that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

John 6:58

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers

did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live

for ever.

John 6:59

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

John 6:60

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This

is an hard saying; who can hear it?

John 6:61

When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said

unto them, Doth this offend you?

John 6:62

What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the

words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 6:64

But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the

beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

John 6:65

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me,

except it were given unto him of my Father.

John 6:66

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more

with him.

John 6:67

Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

John 6:68

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast

the words of eternal life.

John 6:69

And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the

living God.

John 6:70

Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is

a devil?

John 6:71

He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that

should betray him, being one of the twelve.

John 7:1

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in

Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

John 7:2

Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

John 7:3

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into

Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

John 7:4

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself

seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to

the world.

John 7:5

For neither did his brethren believe in him.

John 7:6

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is

alway ready.

John 7:7

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it,

that the works thereof are evil.

John 7:8

Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my

time is not yet full come.

John 7:9

When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

John 7:10

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the

feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

John 7:11

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

John 7:12

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for

some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the

people.

John 7:13

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

John 7:14

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and

taught.

John 7:15

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having

never learned?

John 7:16

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that

sent me.

John 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.

John 7:18

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that

seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no

unrighteousness is in him.

John 7:19

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

Why go ye about to kill me?

John 7:20

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to

kill thee?

John 7:21

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all

marvel.

John 7:22

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of

Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a

man.

John 7:23

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of

Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a

man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

John 7:24

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

John 7:25

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek

to kill?

John 7:26

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the

rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

John 7:27

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man

knoweth whence he is.

John 7:28

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me,

and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that

sent me is true, whom ye know not.

John 7:29

But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

John 7:30

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because

his hour was not yet come.

John 7:31

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh,

will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

John 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.

John 7:33

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then

I go unto him that sent me.

John 7:34

Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye

cannot come.

John 7:35

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we

shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,

and teach the Gentiles?

John 7:36

What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and

shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

John 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.

John 7:38

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly

shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7:39

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him

should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that

Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 7:40

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a

truth this is the Prophet.

John 7:41

Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out

of Galilee?

John 7:42

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David,

and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

John 7:43

So there was a division among the people because of him.

John 7:44

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

John 7:45

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they

said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

John 7:46

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

John 7:47

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

John 7:48

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

John 7:49

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

John 7:50

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one

of them,)

John 7:51

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he

doeth?

John 7:52

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search,

and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

John 7:53

And every man went unto his own house.

John 8:1

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

John 8:2

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the

people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

John 8:3

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in

adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

John 8:4

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the

very act.

John 8:5

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but

what sayest thou?

John 8:6

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But

Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as

though he heard them not.

John 8:7

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said

unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a

stone at her.

John 8:8

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

John 8:9

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,

went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and

Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

John 8:10

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said

unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man

condemned thee?

John 8:11

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn

thee: go, and sin no more.

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the

world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall

have the light of life.

John 8:13

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of

thyself; thy record is not true.

John 8:14

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself,

yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go;

but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

John 8:15

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

John 8:16

And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I

and the Father that sent me.

John 8:17

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

John 8:18

I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me

beareth witness of me.

John 8:19

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye

neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have

known my Father also.

John 8:20

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple:

and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

John 8:21

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me,

and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

John 8:22

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I

go, ye cannot come.

John 8:23

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are

of this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:24

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye

believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:25

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,

Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

John 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.

John 8:27

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

John 8:28

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,

then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but

as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

John 8:29

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone;

for I do always those things that please him.

John 8:30

As he spake these words, many believed on him.

John 8:31

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue

in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

John 8:32

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:33

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to

any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

John 8:34

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever

committeth sin is the servant of sin.

John 8:35

And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son

abideth ever.

John 8:36

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

John 8:37

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my

word hath no place in you.

John 8:38

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which

ye have seen with your father.

John 8:39

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith

unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of

Abraham.

John 8:40

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which

I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

John 8:41

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born

of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

John 8:42

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for

I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he

sent me.

John 8:43

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my

word.

John 8:44

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will

do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,

because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh

of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 8:45

And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

John 8:46

Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye

not believe me?

John 8:47

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not,

because ye are not of God.

John 8:48

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou

art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

John 8:49

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do

dishonour me.

John 8:50

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

John 8:51

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall

never see death.

John 8:52

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil.

Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my

saying, he shall never taste of death.

John 8:53

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the

prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

John 8:54

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my

Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

John 8:55

Yet ye 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.

John 8:56

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was

glad.

John 8:57

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and

hast thou seen Abraham?

John 8:58

Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham

was, I am.

John 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.

John 9:1

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

John 9:2

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man,

or his parents, that he was born blind?

John 9:3

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but

that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

John 9:4

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night

cometh, when no man can work.

John 9:5

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

John 9:6

When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the

spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

John 9:7

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by

interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and

came seeing.

John 9:8

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he

was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

John 9:9

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am

he.

John 9:10

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

John 9:11

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and

anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and

wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

John 9:12

Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

John 9:13

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

John 9:14

And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his

eyes.

John 9:15

Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his

sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed,

and do see.

John 9:16

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because

he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a

sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

John 9:17

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he

hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

John 9:18

But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind,

and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had

received his sight.

John 9:19

And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born

blind? how then doth he now see?

John 9:20

His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and

that he was born blind:

John 9:21

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his

eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

John 9:22

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the

Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was

Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

John 9:23

Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

John 9:24

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him,

Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

John 9:25

He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one

thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

John 9:26

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine

eyes?

John 9:27

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear:

wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

John 9:28

Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are

Moses' disciples.

John 9:29

We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not

from whence he is.

John 9:30

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous

thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened

mine eyes.

John 9:31

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a

worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

John 9:32

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes

of one that was born blind.

John 9:33

If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

John 9:34

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins,

and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

John 9:35

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he

said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

John 9:36

He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?

John 9:37

And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that

talketh with thee.

John 9:38

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

John 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.

John 9:40

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and

said unto him, Are we blind also?

John 9:41

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but

now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

John 10:1

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into

the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief

and a robber.

John 10:2

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

John 10:3

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he

calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

John 10:4

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and

the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

John 10:5

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they

know not the voice of strangers.

John 10:6

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what

things they were which he spake unto them.

John 10:7

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am

the door of the sheep.

John 10:8

All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep

did not hear them.

John 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.

John 10:10

The thief cometh 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.

John 10:11

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the

sheep.

John 10:12

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep

are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:

and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

John 10:13

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for

the sheep.

John 10:14

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:15

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down

my life for the sheep.

John 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.

John 10:17

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I

might take it again.

John 10:18

No man taketh 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.

John 10:19

There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

John 10:20

And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

John 10:21

Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a

devil open the eyes of the blind?

John 10:22

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was

winter.

John 10:23

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

John 10:24

Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost

thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

John 10:25

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that

I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

John 10:26

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto

you.

John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 10:28

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 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.

John 10:30

I and my Father are one.

John 10:31

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

John 10:32

Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my

Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

John 10:33

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but

for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

John 10:34

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are

gods?

John 10:35

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the

scripture cannot be broken;

John 10:36

Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the

world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

John 10:37

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

John 10:38

But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may

know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

John 10:39

Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their

hand,

John 10:40

And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first

baptized; and there he abode.

John 10:41

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all

things that John spake of this man were true.

John 10:42

And many believed on him there.
