CHAP. IV. WHEN therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 3 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his jour ney, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 9 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? (for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me, to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thist again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, Dether come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy Bustard, and come father. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, 1 perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusa lem is the place where men ought to worship. 91 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, telieve me, the Lour cometh, when e shail neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hear cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spuit and in truth. for the Father secheth such te wership him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, le will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, 1 that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no inan said, What seekest thou? or, Why talest thou with her? 29 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the cny, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto bitn. 31 in the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal, that both he that soweth and be that reapeth may rejoice together 37 And herein is that saving true, One soweth, and another reaseth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other mea laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. 30 And many of the Sumar es of that city be levet on lims! The pool of Bethesda. ST. JOHN. saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he aoode there two days. 41 And many more believed, because of his own word, 42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. 43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own Country. The Jeans persecute Jesu which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time n that case, he saith unto him, Wilt the be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him. Sir, I have no man, when the water s troubled, to put me into the pool: bu while I am coming, another steppet down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take m thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man w made whole, and took up his bed, ant walked and on the sanie day was the sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said unte 45 Then when he was come into him that was cured, It is the sabbatGalilee, the Galileans received him,day: it is not lawful for thee to car having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast for they also went unto the feast. 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that Le would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 49 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe 40 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, mts servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth." 59 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto Lim, Yesterday at the sevento aour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son haseth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Gailee. CHAP. V. A this bed. 11 He answered them, He that inade me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 1hen asked they hnm, What ma is that which said unto thee, Take? thy bed, and walk? 13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyer himself away, a multitude being i that place. 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Be hold, thou art made whole: sin n more, lest a worse thing come un thee. 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews pe secute Jesus, and sought to slay bu because he had done these things c the sabbath-day. 17 But Jesus answered them. Mr. Father worketh bitoerto, and i wcr.. 18 Therefore the Jews sought t more to kill him, because he not on bad broken the sabbath, but said a that God was his Father, making hinself equal with God. 10 Then answered Jesus, and si unto them, Verily, verily, I say e you, The Son can do nothing of hit(self, but what he seeth the Father o for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20 For the Father loveth the So", and sheweth him all things that his self doeth and be will shew tim greater works than these, that ye Lay marvel. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called 21 For as the Father raiseth up the in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, hav-dead, and quickeneth them; even so ing five porches. the Son quickeneth whom he will. 3 In these lay a great moltitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 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 be had. 6 22 For the Father judgeth no man; but hath committed all judganent ante the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.

CHAP. VI. AFTER these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them, that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a moun tain, and there he sat with his dis 97 Ard hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because le isciples. the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the bour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 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. 301 can of mine ewn self de nothing: as I hear, judge and my judgment is just; because I seek not inne own will, but the will of the Father which bath sent me. 31f 1 bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in bis light. 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father bath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 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. 39 And ye have not his word abiding in you for whom he bath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in thein ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And we will not come to me, that ye might have life. 411 receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 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. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that acruseth you, even Moses in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me for he wrote of me. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 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? 6 And this he said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two bundred pennyworth of bread is not suthcient for them, that every one of them may take a little. s One of his disciples, Andrew, Si mon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which th five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many? 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. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, be distri buted to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 1 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the tragments of the live barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that bad eaten. 14 Then those men, when they bad seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into the world. 15 When Jesus therefore nerceived tha: they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, be departed again into a mountain him. self alone. 16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 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. 20 But he saith unto them It is I: be not afraid. 1Then they willingly received fm into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 28 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; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks :) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither is disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him) on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when cainest thou bither? 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. the bread of life. thing, but should raise it up again a the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent ine, that every one which sees the Son, and believeth on him, a have everlasting life and I will ra him up at the last day. 41 The Jews then murmured at hmm. because he said, I am the bread whic came down from heaven. 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? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me die him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of G Every man therefore that hath beard, and hath learned of the Father, com eth unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, be bath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me bath ever 27 Labour not for the meat which perisbeth, but for that meat which en-lasting life. dureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you for him bath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he sent. hath 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 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. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 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. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shali come to me and bim that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 3 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of bim that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he Lath given me i should lose no 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: f any man eat of this bread, he shall five for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which 1 will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 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. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is a ink indeed. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and 1 in bim. 57 As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he thak eateth me,even be shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which cams down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. be that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the syna gogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Go Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying, who can hear it? 6! When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? Peter's confession. CHAP. VII. Christ teacheth in the temple. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 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. 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. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto ine, except it were given unto hiin of ny Father. 65 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 65 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe, and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray hur being one of the twelve CHAP. VII. A FTER these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto aim, Depart hence, and go into Judea, ahat thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 16 Jesus answered them, and said My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 It any man will do his will, he shall, Enow of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. is 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. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 2: Jesus answered and said unto them. I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 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. 23 If a man on the sabbath day re-. ceive 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 sabbathday? 24 Judge not according to the ap-.. perance, but judge righteous judg inent. 25 Then said some of them of Jeru salem, Is not this be whom they seek to kill 16 But lo, be speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these 27 Howbeit we know this man things, shew thyself to the world. whence he is: but when Christ cometh 5 For neither did his breturen be-no man knoweth whence he is. lieve in him.
