The Gospel According to John
CHAPTER 1
John 1:1-4
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through
him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was
life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:5-14
5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. 6
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for
witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe
through him. 8 He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the
light. 9 There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man,
coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through
him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and they that were
his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the
right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 who
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his
glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
John 1:15-18
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said,
He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me. 16 For of
his fulness we all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen
God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he
hath declared him.
John 1:19-28
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem
priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied
not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered,
No. 22 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer
to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said
Isaiah the prophet. 24 And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 And they
asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the
Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I
baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, 27even he
that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. 28
These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
John 1:29-36
29 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of
God, that taketh away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, After
me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew
him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I
baptizing in water. 32 And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit
descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him
not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever
thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that
baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen, and have borne witness that
this is the Son of God. 35 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of
his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the
Lamb of God! John 1:37-42
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus
turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they
said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where
abideth thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came
therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was
about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two that heard John speak, and followed
him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He findeth first his own brother
Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being
interpreted, Christ). 42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and
said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by
interpretation, Peter).
John 1:43-51
43 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip:
and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me. 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the
city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We
have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of
Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing
come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47 Jesus saw
Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom
is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the
fig tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of
God; thou art King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I
said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt
see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and
descending upon the Son of man.
CHAPTER 2
John 2:1-11
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of
Jesus was there: 2 and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the
marriage. 3 And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They
have no wine. 4 And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he
saith unto you, do it. 6 Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after
the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus
saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the
brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the
feast. And they bare it. 9 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now
become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the
water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto
him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely,
then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This
beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory;
and his disciples believed on him.
John 2:12-22
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren,
and his disciples; and there they abode not many days. 13 And the passover of
the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the
temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money
sitting: 15 and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple,
both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and
overthrew their tables; 16 and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these
things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. 17 His
disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.
18 The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto
us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 The Jews
therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou
raise it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body. 22 When
therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake
this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. John
2:23-25
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many
believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did. 24 But Jesus did not
trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, 25 and because he needed not
that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was
in man.
CHAPTER 3
John 3:1-21
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2
the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art
a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except
God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus
saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second
time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into
the kingdom of God! 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be
born anew. 8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice
thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every
one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can
these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of
Israel, and understandest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and
ye receive not our witness. 12 If I told you earthly things and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 And no one hath ascended
into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is
in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up; 15 that whosoever believeth may in him have
eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the
world should be saved through him. 18 He that believeth on him is not judged:
he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on
the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the
light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light;
for their works were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. 21 But he that
doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that
they have been wrought in God.
John 3:22-36
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and
there he tarried with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in
Enon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized. 24 For John was not yet cast into prison. 25 There arose therefore a
questioning on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying. 26 And
they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the
Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all
men come to him. 27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except
it have been given him from heaven. 28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I
said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. 29 He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 He that
cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of
the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 32 What he hath
seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to this, that God is
true. 34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not
the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things
into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that
obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
