CHAPTER 18
John 18:1-12
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over
the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and
his disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for
Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having
received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the
Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus
therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth,
and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was
standing with them. 6 When therefore he said unto them, I am he, they went
backward, and fell to the ground. 7 Again therefore he asked them, Whom
seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8 Jesus answered, I told you
that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9 that the
word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I
lost not one. 10 Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck
the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's
name was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into
the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized
Jesus and bound him, John 18:13-27
13 and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who
was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the
Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 15 And
Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple
was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of
the high priest; 16 but Peter was standing at the door without. So the
other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto
her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 The maid therefore that
kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples?
He saith, I am not. 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing
there, having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming
themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. 19
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever
taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together;
and in secret spake I nothing. 21 Why askest thou me? Ask them that have
heard me, what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I
said. 22 And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck
Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus
answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well,
why smitest thou me? 24 Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the
high priest. 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said
therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and
said, I am not. 26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman
of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden
with him? 27 Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.
John 18:28-40
28 They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium: and it was
early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might
not be defiled, but might eat the passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out
unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? 30 They
answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not
have delivered him up unto thee. 31 Pilate therefore said unto them, Take
him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto
him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 32 that the word of
Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of
death he should die. 33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium,
and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34
Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee
concerning me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the
chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36 Jesus
answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37 Pilate therefore said unto
him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To
this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I
should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth
my voice. 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said
this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime
in him. 39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.)
CHAPTER 19
John 19:1-15
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers
platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a
purple garment; 3 and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews!
and they struck him with their hands. 4 And Pilate went out again, and
saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I
find no crime in him. 5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of
thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man!
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried
out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Take him
yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him. 7 The Jews
answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he
made himself the Son of God. 8 When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he
was the more afraid; 9 and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith
unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate
therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that
I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? 11 Jesus
answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given
thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.
12 Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying,
If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that
maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 13 When Pilate therefore
heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat
at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the
Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto
the Jews, Behold, your King! 15 They therefore cried out, Away with him,
away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your
King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. John 19:16-18
16 Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified. 17 They took
Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the
place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha: 18
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and
Jesus in the midst.
John 19:19
19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written,
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. John 19:20-30
20 This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus
was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in
Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to
Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the
Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 23 The
soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and
made four parts,
to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam,
woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore one to another, Let
us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture
might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And
upon my vesture did they cast lots. 25 These things therefore the soldiers
did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus
therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he
saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the
disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto
his own home. 28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now
finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 29
There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of
the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus
therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed
his head, and gave up his spirit.
John 19:31-37
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies
should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that
sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that they might be taken away. 32 The soldiers therefore came, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:
33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they
brake not his legs: 34 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his
side, and straightway there came out blood and water. 35 And he that hath
seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he
saith true, that ye also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced. John 19:38-42
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away
the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took
away his body. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came
to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
pounds. 40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths
with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place
where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb
wherein was never man yet laid. 42 There then because of the Jews'
Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus. CHAPTER 20
John 20:1-10
1 Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it
was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the
Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter
therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the
tomb. 4 And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter,
and came first to the tomb; 5 and stooping and looking in, he seeth the
linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in. 6 Simon Peter therefore also
cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the
linen cloths lying, 7 and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying
with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 Then entered
in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he
saw, and believed. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must
rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again unto their own
home. John 20:11-18
11 But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she
stooped and looked into the tomb; 12 and she beholdeth two angels in white
sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain. 13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have
laid him. 14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth
Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the
gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where
thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her,
Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is
to say, Teacher. 17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I
ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. 18 Mary
Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that
he had said these things unto her.
John 20:19-25
19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week,
and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the
Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto
you. 20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his
side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus
therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent
me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them,
and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: 23 whose soever sins ye
forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are
retained. 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We
have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands
the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John 20:26-31
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and
see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be
not faithless, but believing. 28 Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord
and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 30
Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples,
which are not written in this book: 31 but these are written, that ye may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may
have life in his name.
CHAPTER 21
John 21:1-14
1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself on this wise. 2 There was
together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in
Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon
Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with
thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took
nothing. 4 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore saith unto them,
Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto
them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They
cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of
fishes. 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is
the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat
about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. 8 But the
other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the
land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fishes. 9
So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and
fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish
which ye have now taken. 11 Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net
to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all
there were so many, the net was not rent. 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come
and break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who
art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus cometh, and taketh the
bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. 14 This is now the third
time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen
from the dead. John 21:15-19
15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He
saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He
saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
him, Tend my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst
whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth
thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou
wouldest not. 19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he
should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow
me. John 21:20-25
20 Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who
also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he
that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord,
and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he
tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. 23 This saying
therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die:
yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he
tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 24 This is the disciple that
beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that
his witness is true. 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus
did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the
world itself would not contain the books that should be written.
