CHAPTER 7
John 7:1-13
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in
Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the feast of the Jews,
the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto
him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold
thy works which thou doest. 4 For no man doeth anything in secret, and
himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest
thyself to the world. 5 For even his brethren did not believe on him. 6
Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is
always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that its works are evil. 8 Go ye up unto the feast: I go not
up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled. 9 And having said
these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 10 But when his brethren
were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it
were in secret. 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said,
Where is he? 12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes
concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he
leadeth the multitude astray. 13 Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of
the Jews. John 7:14-36
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the
temple, and taught. 15 The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth
this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus therefore answered them
and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man
willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of
God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He that speaketh from himself
seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him,
the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19 Did not Moses give
you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me? 20
The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee? 21
Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel
because thereof. 22 Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of
Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. 23 If a
man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be
broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the
sabbath? 24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous
judgment. 25 Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom
they seek to kill? 26 And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto
him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? 27
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one
knoweth whence he is. 28 Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and
saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself,
but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29 I know him; because I am
from him, and he sent me. 30 They sought therefore to take him: and no man
laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31 But of the
multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come,
will he do more signs than those which this man hath done? 32 The Pharisees
heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief
priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him. 33 Jesus therefore
said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me. 34
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come. 35
The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we
shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and
teach the Greeks? 36 What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and
shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
John 7:37-44
37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. 38 He that
believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow
rivers of living water. 39 But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that
believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because
Jesus was not yet glorified. 40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they
heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. 41 Others said,
This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of
Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed
of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? 43 So there
arose a division in the multitude because of him. 44 And some of them would
have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. John 7:45-53
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they
said unto them, Why did ye not bring him? 46 The officers answered, Never
man so spake. 47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led
astray? 48 Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? 49
But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed. 50 Nicodemus
saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them), 51 Doth
our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he
doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And they went
every man unto his own house:
CHAPTER 8
John 8:1-11
1 but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 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. 3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman
taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, 4 they say unto him,
Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in
the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? 6
And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7 But 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. 8 And
again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 9 And they,
when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even
unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in
the midst. 10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where
are they? did no man condemn thee? 11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus
said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.
John 8:12-20
12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have
the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest
witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said
unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know
whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither
I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 Yea and if I judge,
my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me
beareth witness of me. 19 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy
Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me,
ye would know my Father also. 20 These words spake he in the treasury, as
he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet
come. John 8:21-30
21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and
shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 The Jews therefore
said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? 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. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall
die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your
sins. 25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them,
Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26 I have
many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me
is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the
world. 27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 Jesus
therefore said, 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 the Father taught me,
I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left
me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 30 As he
spake these things, many believed on him. John 8:31-37
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in
my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered unto him, We are
Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest
thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 And
the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for
ever. 36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my
word hath not free course in you.
John 8:38-45
38 I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the
things which ye heard from your father. 39 They answered and said unto him,
Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's
children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me,
a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not
Abraham. 41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not
born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come
from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye
not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of
your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof. 45 But because I say the
truth, ye believe me not.
John 8:46-50
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe
me? 47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear
them not, because ye are not of God. 48 The Jews answered and said unto
him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 49 Jesus
answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. 50
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. John
8:51-59
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never
see death. 52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon.
Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he
shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham,
who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus
answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that
glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 55 and ye have not
known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be
like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 56 Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews
therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou
seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was born, I am. 59 They took up stones therefore to cast at
him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
CHAPTER 9
John 9:1-7
1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 2 And his
disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents,
that he should be born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin,
nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can work. 5 When I am in the world, I am the light of
the world. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay
of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, 7 and said unto him,
Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went
away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. John 9:8-12
8 The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a
beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Others said, It is he:
others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10 They said
therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered, The
man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto
me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received
sight. 12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not. John
9:13-34
13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 Now it was
the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15
Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And
he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. 16
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he
keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do
such signs? And there was division among them. 17 They say therefore unto
the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes?
And he said, He is a prophet. 18 The Jews therefore did not believe
concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until
they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 19 and asked
them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he
now see? 20 His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son,
and that he was born blind: 21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who
opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for
himself. 22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be
Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his
parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 So they called a second time the man
that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man
is a sinner. 25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not:
one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 They said
therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes? 27 He
answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye
hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 28 And they reviled him,
and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know
that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he
is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that
ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 31 We know that God
heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his
will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any
one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God,
he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast
altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
John 9:35-38
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost
thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, And who is he,
Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both
seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I
believe. And he worshipped him.
John 9:39-41
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see
not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 40 Those of the
Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we
also blind? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no
sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. CHAPTER 10
John 10:1-18
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the
fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and
a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 When he hath put
forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they
know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from
him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus
unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them. 7 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that came before me are thieves
and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find
pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and
destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. 11 I
am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
12 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf
snatcheth them, and scattereth them: 13 he fleeth because he is a hireling,
and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine
own, and mine own know me, 15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the
Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my
voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth the
Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No
one taketh it away 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 received I
from my Father. John 10:19-21
19 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. 20
And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21
Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a
demon open the eyes of the blind?
John 10:22-38
22 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: 23 it was winter;
and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24 The Jews
therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold
us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered
them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's
name, these bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not
of my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and
no one shall snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who hath given them
unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the
Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one. 31 The Jews took up stones
again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed
you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews
answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and
because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them,
Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? 35 If he called them
gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou
blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works
of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do them, though ye believe not
me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is
in me, and I in the Father.
John 10:39-42
39 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand. 40
And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at
the first baptizing; and there be abode. 41 And many came unto him; and
they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of
this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.
