John 18
[1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples
over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and
his disciples.
[2] And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes
resorted thither with his disciples. [3] Judas then, having received a band
of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither
with lanterns and torches and weapons. [4] Jesus therefore, knowing all
things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek
ye? [5] They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am
he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. [6] As soon then
as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the
ground.
[7] Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
[8] Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me,
let these go their way:
[9] That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou
gavest me have I lost none.
[10] Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's
servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. [11]
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which
my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? [12] Then the band and the
captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
[13] And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas,
which was the high priest that same year. [14] Now Caiaphas was he, which
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: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with
Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
[16] But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other
disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that
kept the door, and brought in Peter.
[17] Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also
one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. [18] And the servants and
officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and
they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
[19] The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
doctrine. [20] Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever
taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort;
and in secret have I said nothing.
[21] Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto
them: behold, they know what I said. [22] And when he had thus spoken, one
of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of 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] Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. [25] And
Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not
thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. [26] One
of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut
off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? [27] Peter then
denied again: and immediately the cock crew. [28] Then led they Jesus from
Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves
went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they
might eat the passover. [29] Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What
accusation bring ye against this man?
[30] They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have delivered him up unto thee. [31] Then said Pilate unto them, Take
ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto
him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
[32] That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
signifying what death he should die.
[33] Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus,
and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? [34] Jesus answered him,
Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
[35] Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have 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 was I
born, and for this cause came I 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 in him no fault at
all.
[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] Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.

John 19
[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 they put on
him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring
him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. [5] Then
came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And
Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! [6] When the chief priests
therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him,
crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I
find no fault in him. [7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our
law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. [8] When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; [9] And went
again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But
Jesus gave him no answer. [10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou
not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have
power to release thee? [11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at
all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
[12] And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried
out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend:
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. [13] When Pilate
therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour:
and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! [15] But they cried out, Away
with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I
crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We have no king but Caesar.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.
[17] And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a
skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: [18] Where they crucified
him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing
was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. [20] This title then read many
of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city:
and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
[21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews 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] Then the soldiers, when they had
crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a
part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top
throughout. [24] They said therefore among themselves, 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 raiment among them, and for my
vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. [25]
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister,
Mary the wife of Cleophas, 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 that disciple took her unto his own
home. [28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. [29] Now there was
set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and
put it upon hyssop, and put 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 the ghost. [31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for
that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him. [33] But when they came to Jesus, and
saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might believe. [36] For these things were done,
that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the
body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the
body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by
night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner 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
sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. [42] There laid they Jesus
therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh
at hand.

John 20
[1] The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet
dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the
sepulchre. [2] Then she runneth, 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 sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
[3] Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre.
[4] So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and
came first to the sepulchre.
[5] And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet
went he not in.
[6] Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and
seeth the linen clothes lie,
[7] And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen
clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. [8] Then went in also
that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and
believed. [9] For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead.
[10] Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. [11] But Mary
stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down,
and looked into the sepulchre, [12] And seeth two angels in white sitting,
the one at the head, and the other 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] And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw 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 have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
laid him, and I will take him away. [16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
[17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father,
and your Father; and to my God, and your God. [18] Mary Magdalene came and
told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these
things unto her. [19] Then the same day at evening, being the first day of
the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for
fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you. [20] And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his
hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
[21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my 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 Ghost:
[23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and 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 finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand
into his side, I will not believe.
[26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them: then came Jesus, 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 behold my hands;
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not
faithless, but believing.
[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus
saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. [30] And many
other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not
written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have
life through his name.

John 21
[1] After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. [2] There were
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
go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and
that night they caught nothing.
[4] But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was Jesus. [5] Then Jesus saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
[6] And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and
ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it
for the multitude of fishes.
[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's
coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. [8]
And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from
land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. [9]
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and
fish laid thereon, and bread.
[10] Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
[11] Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes,
and hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was
not the net broken.
[12] Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst
ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. [13] Jesus then
cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
[14] This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead. [15] So when they had dined, Jesus
saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 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 the second time, Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I
love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
[17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said 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] This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And
when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. [20] Then Peter,
turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also
leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth
thee?
[21] Peter 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] Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I
will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? [24] This is the
disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we
know that his testimony 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 could not contain the books that should be
written. Amen.
