___Luke chapter 1
 1 Since many have written in order a declaration of the things that are most surely believed among us,
 2 Just as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word,
 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very beginning, to write to you in order, most excellent lover of God,
 4 So that you would know the certainty of the things about which you've been instructed.
 5 In the days of Herod the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord without fault.
 7 And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they were both senior citizens by then.
 8 And while he performed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
 9 According to the custom of the priest's office, he happened to be assigned to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense.
 11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled and became afraid.
 13 But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
 14 And you'll have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn toward the Lord their God.
 17 And he'll go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
 18 And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this?  For I am an old man, and my wife is an old woman."
 19 And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to you, and to bring you this happy news.
 20 And see, you'll be unable to speak, until the day that these things are performed, because you don't believe my words, which shall be fulfilled at the proper time."
 21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and were surprised that he remained in the temple for so long.
 22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.
 23 And as soon as the days of his ministering had ended, he went to his own house.
 24 And after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
 25 "Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men."
 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
 27 To a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
 28 And the angel came to her, and said, "Hail, you who are highly favored, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women."
 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and wondered in her mind what kind of greeting that was.
 30 And the angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
 31 And, see, you'll conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and shall call his name Jesus.
 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David.
 33 And he shall rule over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end."
 34 Then Mary said to the angel, "How will that happen, since I'm not married?"
 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Ghost shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you, therefore also the holy thing that shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
 36 And, see, your cousin Elisabeth, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her, who had been called barren.
 37 For with God nothing shall be impossible."
 38 And Mary said, "I'm the handmaid of the Lord, let it be as you have said."  And the angel departed from her.
 39 And Mary got up in those days, and hurried into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
 40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth.
 41 And when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby jumped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost,
 42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
 43 And why does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me?
 44 For, see, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby jumped for joy in my womb.
 45 And blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a performance of the things that she was told from the Lord."
 46 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
 48 For he has seen the low estate of his handmaiden, for see, from now on, all generations shall call me blessed.
 49 For he that is mighty has done to me great things, and holy is his name.
 50 And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.
 51 He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
 52 He has put down the mighty from their seats, and lifted up those of low degree.
 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and he has sent the rich away empty.
 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
 55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his children forever."
 56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
 57 Now Elisabeth's full time came for her to receive deliverance, and she gave birth to a son.
 58 And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
 59 And on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they called him Zacharias, like his father.
 60 And his mother answered, "Not so, but he shall be called John."
 61 And they said to her, "There is none of your kindred that is called by this name."
 62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
 63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John."  And they were all amazed.
 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
 65 And fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were told around throughout all the hill country of Judea.
 66 And all of those who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What kind of child shall this be!"  And the hand of the Lord was with him.
 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
 68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people,
 69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
 70 As he said by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began,
 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
 73 The oath that he swore to our father Abraham,
 74 That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies can serve him without fear,
 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
 76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest, for you'll go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
 77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
 78 Through the tender mercy of our God, by which the day spring from on high has visited us,
 79 To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
 80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.

___Luke chapter 2
 1 And in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
 3 And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.
 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David,)
 5 To be taxed with Mary his wife, who was large with child.
 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished for her to receive deliverance.
 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough for animals, because there was no room for them in the inn.
 8 And there were shepherds in the same country, staying in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
 9 And, see, the angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shined around them, and they were very afraid.
 10 And the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for, see, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be to all people.
 11 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
 12 And this shall be a sign to you, you'll find the baby wrapped in cloth, lying in a feeding trough for animals."
 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
 15 And after the angels had gone away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Let's go now to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, that the Lord has made known to us."
 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the baby lying in a feeding trough for animals.
 17 And when they had seen it, they made known all around what they'd been told about this child.
 18 And all of those who heard it wondered at the things that had been told them by the shepherds.
 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
 21 And when eight days had gone by for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
 22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses had been accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
 23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,)
 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
 25 And, see, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Ghost was on him.
 26 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he wouldn't see death, until he had seen the Lord's Christ.
 27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
 28 Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
 29 "Lord, now you're letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word,
 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
 31 That you've prepared before the face of all people,
 32 A light to illuminate the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel."
 33 And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken by him.
 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, "See, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign that shall be spoken against,
 35 (Yes, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also,) so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed."
 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.  She was very old, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
 37 And she was a widow of about eighty four years, who didn't depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
 38 And she coming in that moment gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke about him to all of those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
 39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
 40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother didn't know about it.
 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their family and friends.
 45 And when they didn't find him, they turned back again to Jerusalem, looking for him.
 46 And after three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way?  See, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow."
 49 And he said to them, "How is it that you looked for me?  Didn't you know that I must be doing my Father's business?"
 50 And they didn't understand what he said to them.
 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

___Luke chapter 3      
 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
 3 And he came into all the country around Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of someone shouting in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth,
 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
 7 Then he said to the multitude that came out to be baptized by him, "O generation of snakes, who has warned you to flee from the anger to come?
 8 Therefore produce fruits consistent with repentance, and don't begin to say inside yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children of Abraham.
 9 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees, every tree therefore that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down, and thrown into the fire."
 10 And the people asked him, "What shall we do then?"
 11 He answered them, "He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none, and he that has food, let him do likewise."
 12 Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Master, what shall we do?"
 13 And he said to them, "Collect no more than that which has been appointed."
 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, "And what shall we do?"  And he said to them, "Do violence to no man, nor accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages."
 15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men pondered in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ, or not,
 16 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water, but someone mightier than I is coming, whose shoelaces I am not worthy to untie, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire,
 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
 18 And in his exhortation, he preached many other things to the people.
 19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reprimanded by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils that Herod had done,
 20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove on him, and a voice came from heaven, that said, "You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased."
 23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years old, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
 24 Who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Janna, who was the son of Joseph,
 25 Who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Amos, who was the son of Naum, who was the son of Esli, who was the son of Nagge,
 26 Who was the son of Maath, who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Semei, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Juda,
 27 Who was the son of Joanna, who was the son of Rhesa, who was the son of Zorobabel, who was the son of Salathiel, who was the son of Neri,
 28 Who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Addi, who was the son of Cosam, who was the son of Elmodam, who was the son of Er,
 29 Who was the son of Jose, who was the son of Eliezer, who was the son of Jorim, who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi,
 30 Who was the son of Simeon, who was the son of Juda, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Jonan, who was the son of Eliakim,
 31 Who was the son of Melea, who was the son of Menan, who was the son of Mattatha, who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David,
 32 Who was the son of Jesse, who was the son of Obed, who was the son of Boaz, who was the son of Salmon, who was the son of Nahshon,
 33 Who was the son of Amminadab, who was the son of Ram, who was the son of Hezron, who was the son of Pharez, who was the son of Judah,
 34 Who was the son of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who was the son of Terah, who was the son of Nahor,
 35 Who was the son of Serug, who was the son of Reu, who was the son of Peleg, who was the son of Eber, who was the son of Salah,
 36 Who was the son of Arphaxad, who was the son of Shem, who was the son of Noah, who was the son of Lamech,
 37 Who was the son of Methuselah, who was the son of Enoch, who was the son of Jared, who was the son of Mahalaleel, who was the son of Cainan,
 38 Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God.

___Luke chapter 4
 1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
 2 Being forty days tempted by the devil.  And in those days he ate nothing.  And when they had ended, afterward he was hungry.
 3 And the devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to be made bread."
 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
 5 And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
 6 And the devil said to him, "I will give you all this power, and the glory of them, for that has been given to me, and to whomever I choose I give it.
 7 If you therefore will worship me, all shall be yours."
 8 And Jesus answered him, "Get behind me, Satan, for it is written, you shall  worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve."
 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you're the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
 10 For it is written, He'll give his angels charge over you, to keep you,
 11 And in their hands they'll lift you up, so you won't at any time dash your foot against a stone."
 12 And Jesus answered him, "It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God."
 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a while.
 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and his fame went throughout all the region around there.
 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
 17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him.  And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set free those who are bruised,
 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.  And the eyes of all of those who were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
 21 And he began to say to them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
 22 And all were his witnesses, and wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth.  And they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"
 23 And he said to them, "You will surely say to me this proverb, physician, heal yourself, whatever we've heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your country."
 24 And he said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
 25 But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land,
 26 But Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian."
 28 And all of those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with anger,
 29 And got up, and pushed him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, so they could throw him down head first.
 30 But he passing through the middle of them went his way,
 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days.
 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power.
 33 And in the synagogue there was a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and shouted with a loud voice,
 34 Saying, "Let us alone, what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth?  Have you come to destroy us?  I know who you are, the Holy One from God."
 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him."  And when the devil had thrown him among them, he came out of him, and didn't hurt him.
 36 And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word is this!  For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
 37 And his fame went out into every place of the country around there.
 38 And he went out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house.  And Simon's wife's mother had a bad fever, and they asked him to help her.
 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she got up and waited on them.
 40 Now when the sun was setting, all of those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
 41 And devils also came out of many, shouting out, and saying, "You are Christ the Son of God."  And he rebuking them wouldn't allow them to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.
 42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place, and the people looked for him, and came to him, and asked him to stay longer.
 43 And he said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, for that's why I've been sent."
 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

___Luke chapter 5
 1 And as the people pressed on him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
 2 And saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and asked him to move out a little from the land.  And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
 4 Now when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draw."
 5 And Simon answered him, "Master, we have worked hard all the night, and have taken nothing, nevertheless at your word I will let down the net."
 6 And when they had done that, they enclosed a great multitude of fish, and their net broke.
 7 And they waved at their partners, who were in the other ship, so they would come and help them.  And they came, and filled both ships, so that they began to sink.
 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord."
 9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the draw of the fish they had taken,
 10 And so were also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.  And Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid, from now on, you'll catch men."
 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they gave up everything, and followed him.
 12 And when he was in a certain city, there was a man full of leprosy, who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and asked him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."
 13 And he put out his hand, and touched him, and said, "I will, be clean."  And immediately the leprosy went out of him.
 14 And he commanded him to tell no man, but, "Go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
 15 But so much the more, his fame went around, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him from their sicknesses.
 16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
 17 And on a certain day, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
 18 And, men brought in a bed a man who had palsy, and they looked for a way to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
 19 And when they couldn't find a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up on the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the area before Jesus.
 20 And when he saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven."
 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies?  Who can forgive sins, except only God?"
 22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, "What do you reason in your hearts?
 23 Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk?'
 24 But so that you'll know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins," (he said to the man sick with palsy,) "I say to you, get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house."
 25 And immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he was laying on, and went to his own house, glorifying God.
 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."
 27 And after these things, he went out, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting and collecting taxes, and he said to him, "Follow me."
 28 And he left all, got up, and followed him.
 29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house, and there was a large group of tax collectors and of others that sat down with them.
 30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
 31 And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well don't need a doctor, but those who are sick.
 32 I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
 33 And they said to him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?"
 34 And he said to them, "Can you make the children of the bride's room fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
 35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they'll fast in those days."
 36 And he spoke also a parable to them, "No man puts a piece of a new garment on an old, otherwise, then both the new makes a tear, and the piece that was taken out of the new doesn't agree with the old.
 37 And no man puts new wine into old bottles, otherwise the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
 38 But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved.
 39 No man also having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, The old is better."

___Luke chapter 6
 1 And on the second Sabbath after the first, he went through the corn fields, and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
 2 And certain of the Pharisees said to them, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath days?"
 3 And Jesus answered them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
 4 How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to those who were with him, which it's not lawful to eat except only for the priests?"
 5 And he said to them, "The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."
 6 And on another Sabbath, he entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
 7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day, so they could find an accusation against him.
 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Get up, and stand up in the middle."  And he got up and stood.
 9 Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing, is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil?  To save life, or to destroy it?"
 10 And looking around on them all, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."  And he did so, and his hand was restored well, like the other one.
 11 And they were filled with insanity, and consulted with each other what they could do to Jesus.
 12 And in those days, he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
 13 And when it was day, he called to him his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles,
 14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
 16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
 17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Zidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed from their diseases,
 18 And those who were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed.
 19 And the whole multitude tried to touch him, for power went out of him, and healed them all.
 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you that are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
 21 Blessed are you that hunger now, for you'll be filled.  Blessed are you that cry now, for you shall laugh.
 22 Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
 23 Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, for see, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did like that to the prophets.
 24 But woe to you that are rich!  For you've received your consolation.
 25 Woe to you that are full!  For you'll be hungry.  Woe to you that laugh now!  For you'll mourn and cry.
 26 Woe to you, when all men speak well about you!  For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
 27 But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
 28 Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
 29 And to him that slaps you on one cheek offer also the other cheek, and him that takes away your overcoat don't forbid to take your coat also.
 30 Give to every man that asks from you, and of him that takes away your goods don't ask for them back.
 31 And as you want men to do to you, do also to them likewise.
 32 For if you love those who love you, what thanks do you have?  For sinners also love those that love them.
 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you have?, for sinners also do the same.
 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks do you have?, for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward shall be great, and you'll be the children of the Highest, for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
 36 Therefore be merciful, like your Father also is merciful.
 37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged, don't condemn, and you won't be condemned, forgive, and you'll be forgiven.
 38 Give, and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measuring tool that you measure out with, it shall be measured back to you.
 39 And he spoke a parable to them, can the blind lead the blind?  Won't they both fall into the ditch?
 40 The disciple is not above his master, but everyone that is perfect shall be like his master.
 41 And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't notice the plank that is in your own eye?
 42 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself don't see the plank that is in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first remove the plank out of your own eye, and then you'll see clearly to remove the speck that's in your brother's eye.
 43 For a good tree doesn't produce corrupt fruit, nor does a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
 44 For every tree is known by its own fruit.  For from thorns men don't gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes.
 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart produces that which is evil, for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
 46 And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and don't do the things that I say?
 47 Whoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like,
 48 He is like a man who built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock, and when the flood came, the stream beat forcefully on that house, and couldn't shake it, for it had a rock for its foundation.
 49 But he that hears, and doesn't do, is like a man that without a foundation built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat forcefully, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

___Luke chapter 7
 1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.
 3 And when he heard about Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, asking him to please come and heal his servant.
 4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him immediately, saying that he was worthy for whom he should do this,
 5 "For he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue."
 6 Then Jesus went with them.  And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof,
 7 So I also didn't think myself worthy to come to you, but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
 8 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
 9 When Jesus heard these things, he was surprised at him, and turned around, and said to the people that followed him, "I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."
 10 And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.
 11 And the next day, he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
 12 Now when he came near the gate of the city, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and many people of the city were with her.
 13 And when the Lord saw her, he took pity on her, and said to her, "Don't cry."
 14 And he came and touched the bier, and those who carried him stood still.  And he said, "Young man, I say to you, get up."
 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to talk.  And he gave him to his mother.
 16 And fear came on all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us," and, "God has visited his people."
 17 And this rumor of him went throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region around there.
 18 And the disciples of John showed him all these things.
 19 And John calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you he that was supposed to come?  Or should we look for someone else?"
 20 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he that was supposed to come?  Or should we look for someone else?"
 21 And in that same hour he cured many from their sicknesses and diseases, and from evil spirits, and to many that were blind he gave sight.
 22 Then Jesus answered them, "Be on your way, and tell John the things that you've seen and heard, how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
 23 And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me."
 24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?  Some bamboo shaken by the wind?
 25 But what did you go out to see?  A man clothed in soft clothing?  See, those who are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
 26 But what did you go out to see?  A prophet?  Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
 27 This is he, about whom it is written, 'See, I send my messenger before your face, who'll prepare your way before you.'
 28 For I say to you, among those that have been born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
 29 And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.
 31 And the Lord said, "To what then shall I liken the men of this generation?  And to what are they like?
 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling to each other, and saying, 'We have piped to you, and you haven't danced, we have mourned to you, and you haven't cried.'
 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a devil.'
 34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "See, a glutton, and a wino, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
 35 But wisdom is justified by all her children."
 36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him.  And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.
 37 And, see, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat to eat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
 38 And stood at his feet behind him crying, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said inside himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what kind of woman this is that touches him, for she is a sinner."
 40 And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you."  And he said, "Master, go ahead."
 41 "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors, the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both.  Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?"
 43 Simon answered and said, "I suppose he to whom he forgave most."  And he said to him, "You've rightly judged."
 44 And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman?  I entered into your house, you didn't give me any water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
 45 You gave me no kiss, but this woman since the time I came in hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
 46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
 47 So, I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much, but to whom little has been forgiven, the same loves little."
 48 And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
 49 And those who sat to eat with him began to say inside themselves, "Who is this that forgives sins also?"
 50 And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you, go in peace."

___Luke chapter 8
 1 Afterward, he went through every city and village, preaching and showing the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him,
 2 And a certain woman, who had been healed from evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven devils,
 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who gave to him out of their possessions.
 4 And when many people had gathered together, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable,
 5 "A planter went out to plant his seed, and as he planted, some fell by the way side, and it was walked on, and the birds of the air ate it.
 6 And some fell on a rock, and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and produced fruit a hundredfold."  And when he had said these things, he shouted, "He that has ears to hear, let him hear."
 9 And his disciples asked him, "What is this parable?"
 10 And he said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables, so that seeing, they won't see, and hearing, they won't understand.
 11 Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
 12 Those by the way side are those who hear, then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, so they won't believe and be saved.
 13 Those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
 14 And that which fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go on, and are choked by cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
 15 But that on the good ground are those who, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and produce fruit with patience.
 16 No man, when he has lit a candle, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a candlestick, so those who enter in can see the light.
 17 For nothing is secret, that won't be made clear, nor anything hidden, that won't be known and come out.
 18 Be careful therefore how you hear, for whoever has, to him shall be given, and whoever doesn't have, from him shall be taken even what he seems to have."
 19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him, and couldn't get close to him because of the crowd.
 20 And some people told him, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
 21 And he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
 22 Now on a certain day, he went into a ship with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake."  And they launched out.
 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep, and a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger.
 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we're going to die."  Then he got up, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they stopped, and there was a calm.
 25 And he said to them, "Where is your faith?"  And they being afraid wondered, saying to each other, "What kind of man is this!  For he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him."
 26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
 27 And when he went out to land, a certain man met him out of the city, who had devils for a long time, and didn't wear any clothes, nor live in any house, but in the tombs.
 28 When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high?  I beg you, don't torment me."
 29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.  For often it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters, and he broke the bands, and was driven by the devil into the wilderness.)
 30 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"  And he said, "Legion," because many devils had entered into him.
 31 And they asked him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
 32 And there was a herd of many pigs there, feeding on the mountain, and they asked him to let them enter into them.  And he gave them permission to do so.
 33 Then the devils went out of the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.
 34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they ran off, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
 36 Those also who saw it, told them how the man that had been possessed by the devils was healed.
 37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes around there asked him to go away from them, for they were taken by great fear, and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
 38 Now the man out of whom the devils had departed asked him if he could be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
 39 "Return to your own house, and show how God has done great things to you."  And he went his way, and proclaimed throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done to him.
 40 And when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him, for they were all waiting for him.
 41 And, a man named Jairus came, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked him to come into his house,
 42 For he had only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying.  But as he went the people crowded him.
 43 And a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years, who had spent all her living on doctors, and couldn't be cured by any of them,
 44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
 45 And Jesus said, "Who touched me?"  When all denied, Peter and those who were with him said, "Master, the multitude crowd you and press you, and do you say, Who touched me?"
 46 And Jesus said, "Someone has touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out of me."
 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
 48 And he said to her, "Daughter, be of good comfort, your faith has made you well, go in peace."
 49 While he yet spoke, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead, don't trouble the Master."
 50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, "Don't be afraid, only believe, and she shall be made well."
 51 And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the girl.
 52 And all wept, and bewailed her, but he said, "Don't cry, she's not dead, but sleeping."
 53 And they laughed at him scornfully, knowing that she was dead.
 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, "Girl, get up."
 55 And her spirit came again, and she got up immediately, and he commanded to give her some food.
 56 And her parents were amazed, but he commanded them not to tell any man what had happened.

___Luke chapter 9
 1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
 3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, don't take a walking stick, nor paper money, nor bread, nor coins, and don't have two coats each.
 4 And whatever house you enter into, stay there until you leave that city.
 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
 6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead,
 8 And by some, that Elijah had appeared, and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen again.
 9 And Herod said, "I've beheaded John, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?"  And he desired to see him.
 10 And the apostles, when they had returned, told him all that they had done.  And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him, and he received them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
 12 And when the day began to wear away, then the twelve came and said to him, "Send the multitude away, so they can go into the towns and country around here, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a desert place."
 13 But he said to them, "You give them food."  And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people."
 14 For there were about five thousand men.  And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down by groups of fifty."
 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
 17 And they ate, and were all filled, and they took up twelve baskets of remaining pieces.
 18 And as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Whom do the people say I am?"
 19 They answered, "John the Baptist, but some say, Elijah, and others say, that one of the old prophets has risen again."
 20 He said to them, "But whom do you say that I am?"  Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
 21 And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing,
 22 Saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day."
 23 And he said to them all, "If any man wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
 24 For whoever wants to save his life shall lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
 25 For what advantage does a man have, if he gains the whole world, and loses himself, or is thrown away?
 26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here, that shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God."
 28 And about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
 29 And as he prayed, the shape of his face was changed, and his clothing was white and shining.
 30 And see, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
 31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke about his dying that he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
 32 But Peter and those who were with him were deep in sleep, and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
 33 And as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here, and let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
 34 While he thus spoke, a cloud came, and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
 35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, listen to him."
 36 And after the voice, Jesus was seen alone.  And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of the things that they had seen.
 37 And on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.
 38 And, a man of the company called out, "Master, please, look at my son, for he is my only child.
 39 And, see, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly shouts out, and it tears him so that he foams again, and bruising him hardly departs from him.
 40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they couldn't."
 41 And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and endure you?  Bring your son here."
 42 And as he was yet coming, the devil threw him down, and tore him.  And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
 43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.  But while they wondered everyone at all things that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
 44 "Let these sayings sink down in your ears, for the Son of man shall be given into the hands of men."
 45 But they didn't understand this saying, and it was hidden from them, so that they didn't perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about that saying.
 46 Then a reasoning arose among them, which of them would be greatest.
 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
 48 And said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him that sent me, for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."
 49 And John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out devils in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't follow with us."
 50 And Jesus said to him, "Don't stop him, for he that is not against us is for us."
 51 And when the time had come for him to be received up, he steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem,
 52 And sent messengers before his face, and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, like Elijah did?"
 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, "You don't know what kind of spirit you are of.
 56 For the Son of man hasn't come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."  And they went to another village.
 57 And as they went, on the way, a certain man said to him, "Lord, I will follow you wherever you go."
 58 And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man doesn't have a place to lay his head."
 59 And he said to another, "Follow me."  But he said, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
 60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God."
 61 And another also said, "Lord, I will follow you, but let me go say goodbye first to those at home at my house."
 62 And Jesus said to him, "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

___Luke chapter 10
 1 After these things, the Lord chose seventy others also, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place, where he himself would go.
 2 Therefore he said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few, pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out laborers into his harvest.
 3 Go your ways, see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
 4 Carry neither purse, nor paper money, nor shoes, and greet no man on the way.
 5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
 6 And if the son of peace is there, your peace shall rest on it, if not, it shall return to you.
 7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire.  Don't go from house to house.
 8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you,
 9 And heal the sick that are there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near you.'
 10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go your ways out into the streets of it, and say,
 11 'Even the very dust of your city, that sticks to us, we wipe off against you, anyway be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'
 12 But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
 13 Woe to you, Chorazin!  Woe to you, Bethsaida!  For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Zidon, that have been done in you, they would have repented a long time ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
 14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Zidon at the judgment, than for you.
 15 And you, Capernaum, that is lifted up to heaven, shall be thrown down to hell.
 16 He that hears you hears me, and he that despises you despises me, and he that despises me despises him that sent me."
 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, "Lord, even the devils are subject to us through your name."
 18 And he said to them, "I saw Satan like lightning fall from heaven.
 19 See, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall in any way hurt you.
 20 However, don't rejoice that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
 21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you've hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babies, even so, Father, for so it seemed good in your sight.
 22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no man knows who the Son is, but the Father, and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him."
 23 And he turned to his disciples, and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see the things that you see,
 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and haven't seen them, and to hear the things that you hear, and haven't heard them."
 25 And a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
 26 He said to him, "What is written in the law?  What do you read?"
 27 And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor like yourself."
 28 And he said to him, "You've answered right, do that and you'll live."
 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
 30 And Jesus answered, "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothes, and wounded him, and left, leaving him half dead.
 31 And by chance a certain priest came down that way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked at him, and passed by on the other side.
 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
 34 And went to him, and bandaged his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own animal, and brought him to a hotel, and took care of him.
 35 And on the next day when he left, he took out two pence, and gave them to the hotel keeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him, and whatever you spend more, when I come back, I'll repay you.'
 36 Now which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?"
 37 And he said, "He that showed mercy on him."  Then Jesus said to him, "Go, and do likewise."
 38 Now as they went, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
 40 But Martha was burdened with much serving, and came to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone?  Tell her therefore to help me."
 41 And Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are careful and troubled about many things,
 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, that won't be taken away from her."

 1 And as he was praying in a certain place, when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, like John also taught his disciples."
 2 And he said to them, "When you pray, say, Our Father who is in heaven, honored be your name.  Your kingdom come.  Your will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
 3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
 4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us.  And don't lead us into temptation, but give us deliverance from evil."
 5 And he said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves,
 6 For a friend of mine in his journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?'
 7 And he from inside shall answer and say, 'Don't trouble me, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I can't get up and give to you.'
 8 I say to you, though he will not get up and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he'll rise and give him as many as he needs."
 9 And I say to you, "Ask, and it shall be given to you, seek, and you'll find, knock, and it shall be opened to you. 
 10 For everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
 11 If a son asks bread from any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a snake?
 12 Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
 14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was the kind that prevents the host from talking.  And when the devil had gone out, the dumb spoke, and the people wondered.
 15 But some of them said, "He casts out devils through Beelzebub the head of the devils."
 16 And others, tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?  Because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out?  Therefore they'll be your judges.
 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God has come to you.
 21 When an armed strong man keeps his palace, his goods are in peace,
 22 But when a stronger than he shall come to him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
 23 He that is not with me is against me, and he that doesn't gather with me scatters.
 24 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will return to my house that I came out of.'
 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.
 26 Then he goes, and takes to himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in, and live there, and the last condition of that man is worse than the first."
 27 And as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that gave you birth, and the breasts that you've sucked."
 28 But he said, "Yes rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
 29 And when the people were gathered thickly together, he began to say, "This is an evil generation, they look for a sign, and there shall no sign be given it, except for the sign of Jonah the prophet.
 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be a sign to this generation.
 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them, for she came from the farthest parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and, see, a greater than Solomon is here.
 32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and, see, a greater than Jonah is here.
 33 No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, nor under a basket, but on a candlestick, so those who come in will see the light.
 34 The light of the body is the eye, therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light, but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
 35 Therfore, be careful that the light that is in you isn't darkness.
 36 If your whole body therefore is full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, like when the bright shining of a candle gives you light."
 37 And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to eat with him, and he went in, and sat down to eat.
 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed before dinner.
 39 And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
 40 You fools, didn't he that made that which is outside make that which is inside also?
 41 But rather give alms of such things as you have, and see, all things are clean to you.
 42 But woe to you, Pharisees!  For you tithe mint and rue and all kinds of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God.  These ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
 43 Woe to you, Pharisees!  For you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  For you're like graves that are hidden, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
 45 Then one of the lawyers answered, and said to him, "Master, when you talk like that, you reproach us also."
 46 And he said, "Woe to you also, you lawyers!  For you load men with burdens grievous to be carried, and you yourselves won't touch he burdens with one of your fingers.
 47 Woe to you!  For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
 48 Truly you testify that you allow the deeds of your fathers, for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,'
 50 So that the blood of all the prophets, that was spilled from the foundation of the world, will be required of this generation,
 51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple, truly I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
 52 Woe to you, lawyers!  For you've taken away the key of knowledge, you didn't enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
 53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him forcefully, and to provoke him to speak about many things,
 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, so that they could accuse him.

___Luke chapter 12
 1 In the meantime, when an uncountable multitude of people was gathered together, so much that they stepped on each other, he began to say to his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
 2 For there is nothing covered that won't be revealed, nor hidden that won't be known.
 3 Therefore whatever you've spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light, and what you've spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house tops.
 4 And I say to you my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
 5 But I will warn you whom to fear, fear him, who after he has killed has power to throw into hell, yes I say to you, fear him.
 6 Aren't five sparrows sold for two farthings?  And not one of them is forgotten by God.
 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Therefore, don't be afraid, you are of more value than many sparrows.
 8 Also I say to you, whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God,
 9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
 10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
 11 And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, don't think about how or what you'll answer, or what you'll say,
 12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what to say."
 13 And one of the company said to him, "Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
 14 And he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"
 15 And he said to them, "Be careful, beware of covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses."
 16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully,
 17 And he thought within himself, 'What shall I do, because I don't have enough space to put my produce?'
 18 And he said, 'Here's what I'll do, I'll pull down my barns, and build larger, and there I'll put all my fruits and my goods.
 19 And I will say to my soul, soul, you have a lot of goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.'
 20 But God said to him, 'You fool, tonight your soul shall be required from you, then whose shall those things be that you've provided?'
 21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
 22 And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I say to you, don't worry about your life, what you'll eat, nor for the body, what to wear.
 23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither plant nor reap, which neither have storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them, how much more are you better than the birds?
 25 And which of you by thinking can add to his height eighteen inches?
 26 So if you're not able to do the thing that's least, why think about the rest?
 27 Consider the lilies how they grow, they don't work, they don't spin, and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
 28 If then God dresses up the grass that way, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
 29 And don't seek what you'll eat, or what you'll drink, and don't be of doubtful mind.
 30 'Cause the nations of the world seek for all these things, and your Father knows that you need these things.
 31 But rather, seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
 32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
 33 Sell what you have, and give to the poor, provide for yourselves bags that don't grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn't fail, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts.
 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
 35 Have your pants on, and your lights on,
 36 And you yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they will open to him immediately.
 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find awake, truly I say to you, that he'll dress himself, and make them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
 38 And if he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and finds them so, blessed are those servants.
 39 And this know, that if the householder had known what hour the thief would come, he would have stayed awake, and not have let his house be broken into.
 40 Therefore, you be ready also, for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not."
 41 Then Peter said to him, "Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or to all?"
 42 And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
 44 Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
 45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and shall begin to beat the menservants and young women, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
 46 The lord of that servant will come on a day when he doesn't look for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in pieces, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
 47 And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare himself, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many strokes of the whip.
 48 But he that didn't know, and committed things worthy of strokes, shall be beaten with few strokes of the whip.  For to whomever much has been given, from him shall much be required, and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.
 49 I've come to send fire on the earth, and what do I need, if the fire's already started?
 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how much I'm restricted until it has been accomplished!
 51 Do you suppose that I've come to give peace on earth?  I tell you, no, but rather division,
 52 For from now on there'll be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
 54 And he said also to the people, "When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and that's right.
 55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, 'There will be heat,' and it happens.
 56 You hypocrites, you can figure out the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it that you don't figure out this time?
 57 Yes, and why even of yourselves don't you judge what is right?
 58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are on the way, give diligence so that you'll obtain deliverance out of his hand, so he doesn't turn you over to the judge, and the judge turns you over to the officer, and the officer throws you into prison.
 59 I tell you, you won't get out of there, until you've paid the very last penny."

___Luke chapter 13
 1 There were present at that season some that told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
 2 And Jesus answered them, "Do you suppose that those Galileans were sinners more than all the Galileans, because such things happened to them?
 3 I tell you no, but unless you repent, you'll all likewise be destroyed.
 4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that they were sinners more than all men that lived in Jerusalem?
 5 I tell you no, but unless you repent, you'll all likewise be destroyed."
 6 He spoke also this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and looked for fruit on it, and found none.
 7 Then he said he to the worker in his vineyard, 'See, these three years I've come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none, cut it down, why should it be a burden to the ground?'
 8 And he answered him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it,
 9 And if it bears fruit, well, and if not, then after that we'll cut it down."
 10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
 11 And, there was a woman who had a spirit of sickness eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no way lift up herself.
 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, "Woman, you're loosed from your sickness."
 13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
 14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said to the people, "There are six days in which men ought to work, in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."
 15 The Lord then answered him, and said, "You hypocrite, doesn't each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
 16 And shouldn't this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?"
 17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed, and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
 18 Then he said, "To what is the kingdom of God like?  And to what shall I liken it?
 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, that a man took, and threw into his garden, and it grew, and became a large tree, and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it."
 20 And again he said, "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
 21 It is like yeast, that a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until all of it was leavened."
 22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
 23 Then someone said to him, "Lord, are there few that get saved?"  And he said to them,
 24 "Try hard to enter in at the restricted gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and won't be able.
 25 When once the master of the house has risen up, and has locked the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us,' and he shall answer you, 'I don't know where you're from.'
 26 Then you'll begin to say, 'We've eaten and drunk in your presence, and you've taught in our streets.'
 27 But he'll say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you're from, go away from me, all you doers of sin.'
 28 There shall be crying and gnashing of teeth, when you'll see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves pushed out.
 29 And they'll come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
 30 And there are last that shall be first, and there are first that shall be last."
 31 The same day certain of the Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out, and go from here, for Herod will kill you."
 32 And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'See, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.'
 33 However, I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following, for it can't be that a prophet dies outside of Jerusalem.
 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, like a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you weren't willing!
 35 See, your house is left to you desolate, and truly I say to you, you won't see me until the time comes when you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord."

___Luke chapter 14
 1 And as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, they watched him.
 2 And, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
 3 And Jesus answering said to the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?"
 4 And they kept quiet.  And he took him, and healed him, and let him go,
 5 And answered them, "Which of you shall have an ass or an ox that's fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?"
 6 And they couldn't answer him back about these things.
 7 And he put out a parable to those who had been invited, when he saw how they chose out the best rooms, saying to them,
 8 "When you are invited by any man to a wedding, don't sit down in the highest room, 'cause a more honorable man than you might have been invited by him,
 9 And he that invited you and him come and say to you, 'give this man the room,' and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
 10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest room, so that when he that invited you comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, go up higher,' then you'll have admiration in the presence of those who sit to eat with you.
 11 For whoever lifts himself up shall be brought low, and he that humbles himself shall be lifted up."
 12 Then he said also to him that invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors, or they'll also invite you back, and you'll be repaid.
 13 But when you make a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
 14 And you'll be blessed, for they can't repay you, for you'll be repaid at the rising of the just from the dead."
 15 And when one of those who sat to eat with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."
 16 Then he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and invited many,
 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to those who'd been invited, 'Come, for everything's now ready.'
 18 And they all began to make excuses.  The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it, please have me excused.'
 19 And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them, please have me excused.'
 20 And another said, 'I have married a wife, and that's why I can't come.'
 21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things.  Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and those who walk with difficulty, and the blind.'
 22 And the servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you've commanded, and yet there is room.'
 23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, so my house will be filled.
 24 For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper."
 25 And great multitudes went with him, and he turned, and said to them,
 26 "If any man comes to me, and doesn't hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.
 27 And whoever doesn't carry his cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, doesn't sit down first, and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?
 29 Otherwise, perhaps after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to make fun of him,
 30 Saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'
 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, doesn't sit down first, and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
 33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that doesn't forsake all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
 34 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be seasoned?
 35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the manure pile, but men throw it out.  He that has ears to hear, let him hear."

___Luke chapter 15
 1 Then all the tax collectors and sinners came near to hear him.
 2 And the Pharisees and scribes grumbled, "This man receives sinners, and eats with them."
 3 And he spoke this parable to them:
 4 "What man of you, who has a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, doesn't leave the ninety nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one, until he finds it?
 5 And when he's found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'
 7 I say to you, that likewise, there'll be joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety nine righteous people, who don't need repentance.
 8 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, doesn't light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
 9 And when she's found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, and says, 'Rejoice with me, for I've found the piece that I had lost.'
 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents."
 11 And he said, "A certain man had two sons,
 12 And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that will be mine.'  And he divided to them his living.
 13 And not many days later the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and wasted his substance with riotous living there.
 14 And when he had spent all, a mighty famine arose in that land, and he began to lack what he needed.
 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
 16 And he would preferably have filled his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, and no man gave to him.
 17 And when he came to himself, he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I'm dying of hunger!
 18 I'll get up and go to my father, and will say to him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,
 19 And am no more worthy to be called your son, make me like one of your hired servants.'
 20 And he got up, and went to his father.  But when he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
 21 And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.'
 22 But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet,
 23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry,
 24 For this, my son, was dead, and is alive again, he was lost, and is found.'  And they began to be merry.
 25 Now his elder son was in the field, and as he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
 27 And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.'
 28 And he was angry, and wouldn't go in, so his father came out, and reasoned with him.
 29 And he answered his father, 'See, these many years I've served you, I never disobeyed your orders, and yet you never gave me a young goat so I could party with my friends,
 30 But as soon as this son of yours has come, who has consumed your living with prostitutes, you've killed for him the fatted calf.'
 31 And he said to him, Son, you're always with me, and all that I have is yours.
 32 It was right that we should make merry, and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead, but is alive again, and was lost, and is found."

___Luke chapter 16
 1 And he said also to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man, who had an employee who had been accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
 2 And he called him, and said to him, 'How is it that I hear this about you?  Give an account of your stewardship, for you'll no longer be steward.'
 3 Then the steward said inside himself, 'What shall I do?, for my lord is taking away from me the stewardship, I can't dig, to beg I am ashamed.
 4 Here's what I'll do, so that when I've been put out of the stewardship, they'll receive me into their houses.'
 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors to him, and said to the first, 'How much do you owe my lord?'
 6 And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.'  And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
 7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?'  And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.'  And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
 8 And the lord complimented the sloppy steward, because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
 9 And I say to you, make for yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when you fail, they'll receive you into everlasting houses.
 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much, and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
 11 If therefore you haven't been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who'll commit to your trust the true riches?
 12 And if you haven't been faithful in what is another man's, who'll give you that which is your own?
 13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  You can't serve God and money."
 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they made fun of him.
 15 And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts, for that which is highly esteemed among men is hated in the sight of God.
 16 The law and the prophets were until John.  Since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to go away, than for one period or comma of the law to fail.
 18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery, and whoever marries her that has been put away from her husband commits adultery.
 19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted every day.
 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who laid at his gate, full of sores,
 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, also the dogs came and licked his sores.
 22 And the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom, the rich man also died, and was buried.
 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being tormented, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
 24 And he shouted, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, so he can dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in these flames.'
 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things, but now he is comforted, and you're tormented.
 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a large gulf fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you can't, nor can they pass to us, that want to come from there.'
 27 Then he said, 'Please, therefore, father, send him to my father's house,
 28 For I have five brothers, so that he'll testify to them, so that they won't also come into this place of torment.'
 29 Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.'
 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham.  But if someone went back to them from the dead, they'll repent.'
 31 And he said to him, If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be persuaded, even if someone rose from the dead."

___Luke chapter 17
 1 Then he said to the disciples, "It is impossible that offences won't come, but woe to him, through whom they come!
 2 It would have been better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
 3 Be careful about yourselves, if your brother wrongs you, rebuke him, and if he's sorry, forgive him.
 4 And if he wrongs you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, and says, 'I'm sorry,' you shall forgive him."
 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.'
 6 And the Lord said, "If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this sycamore tree, 'Be plucked up roots and all, and be planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.
 7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say to him by and by, when he has come from the field, 'Go and sit down to eat?'
 8 And won't rather say to him, 'Make ready so I can eat, and gird yourself, and serve me, until I've have eaten and drunk, and afterward you'll eat and drink?'
 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that had been commanded him?  Certainly not.
 10 So likewise you, when you've done all the things you've been commanded, say, We are not exceptional achievers, we've merely done what was our duty to do."
 11 And as he went to Jerusalem, he passed through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
 12 And as he entered into a certain village, ten men that were lepers met him, who stood far off.
 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
 14 And when he saw them, he said to them, "Go show yourselves to the priests."  And as they went, they were healed.
 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks, and he was a Samaritan.
 17 And Jesus answered, "Weren't there ten healed?  But where are the other nine?
 18 There are not found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger."
 19 And he said to him, "Get up, go your way, your faith has made you well."
 20 And when the Pharisees demanded to know when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God doesn't come with observation,
 21 Nor shall they say, 'See here!'  Or, 'see there!'  For, the kingdom of God is inside you."
 22 And he said to the disciples, "The days will come, when you'll desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you won't see it.
 23 And they'll say to you, 'See here,' or, 'see there,' don't go after them, nor follow them.
 24 For like the lightning, that shines out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
 25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot, they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built,
 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
 30 That's how it shall be on the day when the Son of man is revealed.
 31 In that day, he that's on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away, and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
 32 Remember Lot's wife.
 33 Whoever shall try to save his life shall lose it, and whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
 34 I tell you, in that night there'll be two men in one bed, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
 35 Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 36 Two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left."
 37 And they answered him, "Where, Lord?"  And he said to them, "Wherever the body is, that's where the eagles will be gathered together."

___Luke chapter 18
 1 And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint,
 2 Saying, "There was a judge in a city, who didn't fear God, nor regarded man.
 3 And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, 'Avenge me of my adversary.'
 4 And he wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said inside himself, Though I don't fear God, nor regard man,
 5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, so that by her continual coming, she doesn't tire me."
 6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the dishonest judge says.
 7 And won't God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he bears long with them?
 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.  However, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
 9 And he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others,
 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed like this with himself, 'God, I thank you that I'm not like other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
 12 I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I have.'
 13 And the tax collector, standing far off, wouldn't lift up as much as his eyes to heaven, but struck his chest, saying, 'God be merciful to me a sinner.'
 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other, for everyone that lifts himself up shall be brought low, and he that humbles himself shall be lifted up."
 15 And they also brought to him infants, so he would touch them, but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
 16 But Jesus called them to him, and said, "Allow little children to come to me, and don't forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
 17 Truly I say to you, whoever won't receive the kingdom of God like a little child shall in no case enter into it."
 18 And a certain ruler asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
 19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good?  No one is good except one, that is God.
 20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother."
 21 And he said, "I have kept all these since my youth."
 22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, "You still lack one thing, sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you'll have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me."
 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
 24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, "How hardly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
 26 And those who heard it said, "Who then can be saved?"
 27 And he said, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God."
 28 Then Peter said, "See, we've left all and followed you."
 29 And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
 30 Who won't receive many times as much in this present time, and in the world to come everlasting life."
 31 Then he took to himself the twelve, and said to them, "See, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that have been written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
 32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and mistreated and spat on,
 33 And they shall whip him, and put him to death, and the third day he shall rise again."
 34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, nor did they know the things that were spoken.
 35 And as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging,
 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
 38 And he shouted, "Jesus, you Son of David, have mercy on me."
 39 And those who went before rebuked him, so he would be quiet, but he shouted so much the more, "You Son of David, have mercy on me."
 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him, and when he had come near, he asked him,
 41 Saying, "What do you want me to do to you?"  And he said, "Lord, I want to receive my sight."
 42 And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight, your faith has saved you."
 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God, and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

___Luke chapter 19
 1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
 2 And, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the top tax collector, and he was rich.
 3 And he tried to see Jesus who he was, but couldn't because of the crowd, 'cause he was a short man.
 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry up, and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
 6 And he hurried, and came down, and received him joyfully.
 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying that he was going to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
 8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord, "See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I've taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore to him four times as much."
 9 And Jesus said to him, "This day has salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
 10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
 12 He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Occupy until I return.'
 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, 'We won't have this man to rule over us.'
 15 And when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded those servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, so he would know how much every man had gained by trading.
 16 Then the first came, and said, 'Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.'
 17 And he said to him, 'Well, you good servant, because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'
 18 And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.'
 19 And he said likewise to him, 'You are also over five cities.'
 20 And another came, saying, 'Lord, see, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin,
 21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man, you take up what you didn't lay down, and reap what you didn't plant.'
 22 And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I'll judge you, you wicked servant.  You knew that I was an austere man, taking up what I didn't lay down, and reaping what I didn't plant,
 23 Why then didn't you put my money in the bank, so that at my return I could have required my own plus interest?
 24 And he said to those who stood by, take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.'
 25 (And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds.')
 26 For I say to you, that to everyone who has shall be given, and from him that doesn't have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
 27 But those enemies of mine, who didn't want me to rule over them, bring here, and kill them before me."
 28 And when he had said that, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
 29 And when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
 30 And said, "Go into the village opposite you, in which at your entering you'll find a colt tied, on which man has never sat, untie him, and bring him here.
 31 And if any man asks you, Why do you untie him?'  You say, 'Because the Lord needs him."
 32 And those who'd been sent went their way, and found like he had said to them.
 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
 34 And they said, "The Lord has need of him."
 35 And they brought him to Jesus, and they threw their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.
 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
 37 And when he had come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
 38 Saying, "Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, "Master, rebuke your disciples."
 40 And he answered them, "I tell you that if these would be quiet, the stones would immediately cry out."
 41 And when he had come near, he saw the city, and wept over it,
 42 Saying, "If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things that belong to your peace!, but now they are hidden from your eyes.
 43 For the days shall come on you, that your enemies shall dig a trench around you, and surround you, and keep you in on every side,
 44 And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you, and they won't leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."
 45 And he went into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold there, and those who bought,
 46 Saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is the house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of thieves."
 47 And he taught daily in the temple.  But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people tried to destroy him,
 48 And couldn't find anything to do, for all the people listened closely to him.

___Luke chapter 20
 1 And on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came to him with the elders,
 2 And spoke to him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority you do these things?  Or who is he that gave you this authority?"
 3 And he answered them, "I will also ask you one thing, and answer me,
 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?"
 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then didn't you believe him?'
 6 But if we say, 'Of men,' all the people will stone us, for they're persuaded that John was a prophet."
 7 And they answered, that they couldn't tell where it was from.
 8 And Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
 9 Then he began to speak to the people this parable, "A certain man planted a vineyard, and rented it to vineyard keepers, and went into a far country for a long time.
 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the vineyard keepers, so they would pay him of the fruit of the vineyard, but the vineyard keepers beat him, and sent him away empty.
 11 And again he sent another servant, and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
 12 And again he sent a third, and they wounded him also, and threw him out.
 13 Then the lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do?  I'll send my beloved son, perhaps they'll respect him when they see him."
 14 But when the vineyard keepers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir, come, let's kill him, so the inheritance will be ours.'
 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.  Therefore what shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
 16 He shall come and destroy those vineyard keepers, and shall give the vineyard to others."  And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
 17 And he looked at them, and said, "What is this then that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the cornerstone?'
 18 Whoever shall fall on that stone shall be broken, but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
 19 And the same hour, the chief priests and the scribes tried to arrest him, and they feared the people, for they understood that he had spoken this parable against them.
 20 And they watched him, and sent out spies, who would pretend to be righteous men, so they could take hold of his words, so they could deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
 21 And they asked him, "Master, we know that you say and teach rightly, nor do you accept the person of any, but teach the way of God truly,
 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you tempt me?
 24 Show me a penny.  Whose image and writing does it have?"  They answered, "Caesar's."
 25 And he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
 26 And they couldn't take hold of his words before the people, and they were amazed at his answer, and kept quiet.
 27 Then certain of the Sadducees came to him, who deny that there is any rising from the dead, and they asked him,
 28 "Master, Moses wrote to us, 'If any man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.'
 29 There were therefore seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and died without children.
 30 And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.
 31 And the third took her, and similarly the seven also, and they left no children, and died.
 32 Last of all the woman died also.
 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she?  For seven had her as wife."
 34 And Jesus answering said to them, "The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage,
 35 But those who'll be counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage,
 36 Nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him."
 39 Then certain of the scribes answered, "Master, you've well said."
 40 And after that they didn't dare ask him any question at all.
 41 And he said to them, "How can they say that Christ is David's son?
 42 And David himself said in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
 43 Until I make your enemies your footstool.'
 44 David therefore calls him Lord, how is he then his son?"
 45 Then in the audience of all the people he said to his disciples,
 46 "Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the main rooms at feasts,
 47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers, they'll receive greater damnation."

___Luke chapter 21
 1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men throwing their gifts into the treasury.
 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow throwing in there two mites.
 3 And he said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has thrown in more than all of them,
 4 For all these have of their abundance thrown in to the offerings of God, but she in her poverty has thrown in all the living that she had."
 5 And as some spoke about the temple, how it was adorned with good stones and gifts, he said,
 6 "As for these things that you see, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone on another, that won't be thrown down."
 7 And they asked him, saying, "Master, but when shall these things be?  And what sign will there be when these things shall happen?"
 8 And he said, "Be careful that you're not deceived, for many shall come in my name, saying, 'I am Christ, and the time draws near,' therefore don't follow them.
 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, don't be terrified, for these things must first happen, but the end is not yet."
 10 Then he said to them, "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
 11 And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and there shall be great signs from heaven.
 12 But before all these, they'll lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
 13 And it will be a testimony for you.
 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to think before what you'll answer,
 15 For I'll give you a mouth and wisdom, that all your adversaries won't be able to contradict nor resist.
 16 And you'll be betrayed both by parents, and brothers, and kinsfolk, and friends, and some of you they'll cause to be put to death.
 17 And you'll be hated by all men for my name's sake.
 18 But not a hair of your head will be destroyed.
 19 In your patience possess your souls.
 20 And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it is near.
 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside it go out, and let those who are in the countries not enter into it.
 22 For these are the days of vengeance, so that all things that are written will be fulfilled.
 23 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who breast feed, in those days!  For there shall be great distress in the land, and anger at these people.
 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be walked on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring,
 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking at the things that are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
 27 And then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
 28 And when these things begin to happen, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near."
 29 And he spoke to them a parable, "See the fig tree, and all the trees.
 30 When they now shoot out branches, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now near.
 31 So likewise you, when you see these things happen, know that the kingdom of God is near.
 32 Truly I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, until all has been fulfilled.
 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
 34 And watch yourselves, so that your hearts won't become overloaded by excessive indulgence, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day takes you by surprise.
 35 For like a trap it shall come on all of those who live on the face of the whole earth.
 36 Stay awake therefore, and pray always, so that you'll be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall happen, and to stand before the Son of man."
 37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple, and at night he went out, and stayed in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
 38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

___Luke chapter 22
 1 Now the feast of unleavened bread came near, which is called the Passover.
 2 And the chief priests and scribes tried to find a way to kill him, for they feared the people.
 3 Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, being one of the twelve.
 4 And he went, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he could betray him to them.
 5 And they were glad, and promised to give him money.
 6 And he promised, and looked for opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.
 7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed.
 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the Passover, so we can eat."
 9 And they said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?"
 10 And he said to them, "See, when you've entered into the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, follow him into the house that he goes into.
 11 And say to the householder, 'The Master says to you, where is the guest room, where I'll eat the Passover with my disciples?'
 12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready."
 13 And they went, and found like he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
 14 And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
 15 And he said to them, "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
 16 For I say to you, I will not anymore eat of it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves,
 18 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God has come."
 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body that is given for you, do this in remembrance of me."
 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, that will be shed for you.
 21 But, see, the hand of him that betrays me is with me on the table.
 22 And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"
 23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it would be that would do this thing.
 24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them would be counted the greatest.
 25 And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority on them are called benefactors.
 26 But it won't be like that with you, but he that is greatest among you, let him be like the younger, and he that is chief, like he that serves.
 27 For which is greater, he that sits to eat, or he that serves?  Isn't he that sits to eat?  But I am among you as he that serves.
 28 You are those who've continued with me in my temptations.
 29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed to me,
 30 So that you'll eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
 31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, see, Satan has desired to have you, so he can sift you like wheat,
 32 But I have prayed for you, so that your faith doesn't fail, and when you've been converted, strengthen your brothers."
 33 And he said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison, and to death."
 34 And he said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster won't crow this day, before you'll three times deny that you know me."
 35 And he said to them, "When I sent you without purse, and paper money, and shoes, did you lack anything?"  And they said, "Nothing."
 36 Then he said to them, "But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his paper money, and he that doesn't have a sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
 37 For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, 'And he was reckoned among the criminals,' for the things concerning me have an end."
 38 And they said, "Lord, see, here are two swords."  And he said to them, "It is enough."
 39 And he came out, and went, as he was usually did, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples also followed him.
 40 And when he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray so that you don't enter into temptation."
 41 And he was removed from them about a stone's throw, and kneeled down, and prayed,
 42 Saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, however, not my will, but yours be done."
 43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him.
 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was as it were large drops of blood falling down to the ground.
 45 And when he got up from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
 46 And said to them, "Why do you sleep?  Get up and pray, so you won't enter into temptation."
 47 And while he yet spoke, see, a lot of people, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and came near Jesus to kiss him.
 48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of man with a kiss?"
 49 When those who were around him saw what was going to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
 51 And Jesus answered, "That's far enough."  And he touched his ear, and healed him.
 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who had come to him, "Have you come out like against a thief, with swords and clubs?
 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you didn't stretch out hands against me, but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
 54 Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house.  And Peter followed far off.
 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the hall, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
 56 But a certain maid saw him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked at him, and said, "This man was also with him."
 57 And he denied him, saying, "Woman, I don't know him."
 58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, "You are also of them."  And Peter said, "Man, I am not."
 59 And about the space of one hour afterward someone else confidently affirmed, saying, "Truly this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
 60 And Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about."  And immediately, while he yet spoke, the rooster crowed.
 61 And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter.  And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times."
 62 And Peter went out, and cried bitterly.
 63 And the men that held Jesus made fun of him, and struck him.
 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, "Prophesy, who is it that struck you?"
 65 And they blasphemously spoke against him many other things.
 66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
 67 "Are you the Christ?  Tell us."  And he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe,
 68 And if I also ask you, you won't answer me, nor let me go.
 69 After this the Son of man shall sit at the right hand of the power of God."
 70 Then they all said, "Then are you the Son of God?"  And he said to them, "You say that I am."
 71 And they said, "Why do we need any further witnesses?  For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."

___Luke chapter 23
 1 And the whole multitude of them got up, and led him to Pilate.
 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbiding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King."
 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?"  And he answered him, "You say it."
 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, "I find no fault in this man."
 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place."
 6 When Pilate heard about Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.
 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him, and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
 9 Then he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.
 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and strongly accused him.
 11 And Herod with his men of war treated him as though he were dirt, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him back to Pilate.
 12 And the same day Pilate and Herod became friends together, for before there was friction between them.
 13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
 14 Said to them, "You've brought this man to me, as someone who perverts the people, and see, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man concerning the things about which you accuse him,
 15 No, nor yet Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death is done by him.
 16 I will therefore whip him, and release him."
 17 (For of necessity he must release someone to them at the feast.)
 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas,"
 19 (Who for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder, was thrown into prison.)
 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
 21 But they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him."
 22 And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has he done?  I have found no cause of death in him, I will therefore whip him, and let him go."
 23 And instantly they demanded with loud voices that he be crucified.  And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it would be as they required.
 25 And he released to them him that for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison, whom they had desired, but he delivered Jesus to their will.
 26 And as they led him away, they grabbed Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, so he would carry it after Jesus.
 27 And a large crowd of people followed him, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him.
 28 But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't cry for me, but cry for yourselves, and for your children.
 29 For, see, the days are coming, in which they'll say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.'
 30 Then they'll begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
 32 And there were also two others, criminals, led with him to be put to death.
 33 And when they had come to the place that is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
 34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing."  And they divided his clothes, and drew straws.
 35 And the people stood watching.  And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, "He saved others, let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God."
 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
 37 And saying, "If you're the king of the Jews, save yourself."
 38 And a sign also was written above him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, "This is the King of the Jews."
 39 And one of the criminals who were crucified railed at him, saying, "If you are Christ, save yourself and us."
 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, "Don't you fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation?
 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."
 42 And he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
 43 And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you'll be with me in heaven."
 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
 46 And when Jesus had shouted with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit," and having said that, he yielded up the spirit.
 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."
 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, seeing the things that were done, struck their chests, and returned.
 49 And everyone who knew him, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood far off, watching these things.
 50 And, see, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, and he was a good man, and fair,
 51 (He had not agreed with the advice and deed of them,) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
 52 This man went to Pilate, and begged for the body of Jesus.
 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that had been cut out of stone, in which no one had ever before been placed.
 54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath was approaching.
 55 And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body had been laid.
 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.

___Luke chapter 24
 1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices that they had prepared, and certain others with them.
 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
 3 And they entered in, and didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.
 4 And as they were much frustrated about it, see, two men stood by them in shining garments,
 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
 6 He is not here, but has risen, remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,
 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
 8 And they remembered his words,
 9 And returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.
 11 And their words seemed to them like fairy tales, and they didn't believe them.
 12 Then Peter got up, and ran to the tomb, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at what had happened.
 13 And, see, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
 14 And they talked together about all these things that had happened.
 15 And while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
 16 But their eyes were hindered such that they didn't recognize him.
 17 And he said to them, "What kind of communications are these that you have with each other, as you walk, and are sad?"
 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, "Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and haven't known the things that have happened there in these days?"
 19 And he said to them, "What things?"  And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
 21 But we trusted that it had been he that would have redeemed Israel, and beside all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
 22 Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, who were at the tomb early,
 23 And when they didn't find his body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
 24 And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it like the women had said, but they didn't see him."
 25 Then he said to them, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken,
 26 Shouldn't Christ have suffered these things, and entered into his glory?"
 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
 28 And they came near the village where they were going, and he made as though he would have gone further.
 29 But they detained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent."  And he went in to wait with them.
 30 And as he sat to eat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them.
 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he disappeared out of their sight.
 32 And they said to each other, "Didn't our heart burn within us, while he talked with us on the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"
 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
 34 Saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon."
 35 And they told what things were done on the way, and how he was known by them in breaking of bread.
 36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the middle of them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
 37 But they were terrified and afraid, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
 38 And he said to them, "Why are you troubled?  And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
 39 Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself, handle me, and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, like you see me have."
 40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
 41 And while they didn't yet believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have any food here?"
 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
 43 And he took it, and ate before them.
 44 And he said to them, "These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, about me."
 45 Then he opened their understanding, so that they would understand the scriptures,
 46 And said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day,
 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
 48 And you are witnesses of these things.
 49 And, see, I send the promise of my Father on you, but wait in the city of Jerusalem, until you are endued with power from on high."
 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
 51 And while he blessed them, he was separated from them, and carried up into heaven.
 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
 53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.  Amen.

___John chapter 1
 1 The Word was there in the beginning, 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 by him, and nothing that was made was made without him.
 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
 5 And the light shined in darkness, and the darkness didn't understand it.
 6 A man was sent from God whose name was John.
 7 He came for a witness, to testify about the Light, so all men through him would believe.
 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to testify about that Light.
 9 That was the true Light, that illuminates every man that comes into the world.
 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world didn't know him.
 11 He came to his own, and his own didn't receive him.
 12 But to as many as did receive him he gave power to become the sons of God, to those who 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 was made flesh, and lived among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as of God's only child,) full of grace and truth.
 15 John testified about him, and shouted, "This is the one about whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me."
 16 And of his fullness, all of us have received, and grace for grace.
 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
 18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
 19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
 20 And he confessed, and didn't deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."
 21 And they asked him, "What then?  Are you Elijah?"  And he said, "I am not."  "Are you that prophet?"  And he answered, "No."
 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you?  So we can give an answer to those who sent us.  What do you say about yourself?"
 23 He said, "I am the voice of someone shouting in the wilderness, 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' like the prophet Isaiah said."
 24 And those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
 25 And they asked him, "Why do you baptize then, if you aren't the Christ, nor Elijah, nor that prophet?"
 26 John answered them, "I baptize with water, but someone stands among you whom you don't know.
 27 He's the one, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoelaces I am not worthy to untie."
 28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "See, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
 30 This is he about whom I said, after me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.
 31 And I didn't know him, but that he would be presented to Israel, that's why I've come baptizing with water."
 32 And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it stayed on him.
 33 And I didn't know him, but he that sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he that baptizes with the Holy Ghost.'
 34 And I saw, and testified that this is the Son of God."
 35 Again the next day John stood, and two of his disciples,
 36 And looking at Jesus as he walked, he said, "See, the Lamb of God!"
 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?"  They said to him, "Rabbi," (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) "Where do you live?"
 39 He said to them, "Come and see."  They came and saw where he lived, and stayed with him that day, for 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 first found his own brother, Simon, and told him, "We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
 42 And he brought him to Jesus.  And when Jesus saw him, he said, "You are Simon the son of Jona, you'll be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.
 43 The day following, Jesus went into Galilee, and found Philip, and said to him, "Follow me."
 44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
 46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"  Philip said to him, "Come and see."
 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "See, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceitfulness!"
 48 Nathanael said to him, "Where do you know me from?"  Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
 49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel."
 50 Jesus answered him, "Do you believe because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree?  You'll see greater things than these."
 51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, After this you'll see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from and descending on the Son of man."

___John chapter 2
 1 And the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
 2 And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
 3 And when they ran out of wine, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine."
 4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what do I have to do with you?  My hour has not yet come."
 5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
 6 And six water pots of stone were set there, the way the Jews purify water, containing two or three firkins each.
 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water."  And they filled them up to the brim.
 8 And he said to them, "Draw out now, and carry it to the governor of the feast."  And they carried it.
 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was changed to wine, and didn't know where it came from, (but the servants who drew the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
 10 And said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse, but you've kept the good wine until now."
 11 Jesus did this beginning of miracles in Cana of Galilee, and demonstrated his glory, and his disciples believed on him.
 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there not many days.
 13 And the Jews' Passover was approaching, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
 14 And found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
 15 And when he had made a scourge from small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money, and overturned the tables,
 16 And said to those who sold doves, "Take these things from here, don't make my Father's house a house of merchandise."
 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal of your house has eaten me up."
 18 Then the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us, since you're doing these things?"
 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
 20 Then the Jews said, "It took forty six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
 21 But he was talking about the temple of his body.
 22 So, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, on the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles that he did.
 24 But Jesus did not commit himself to them, because he knew all men,
 25 And didn't need any man to testify, for he knew what was in man.

___John chapter 3
 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
 2 He came to Jesus at night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who came from God, for no man can do these miracles that you do, unless God is with him."
 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a man is born again, he can't see the kingdom of God."
 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old?  Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he can't 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 Don't be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
 8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound of it, but can't tell where it comes from, nor where it's going.  So is everyone that is born of the Spirit."
 9 Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?"
 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a master of Israel, and don't know these things?
 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen, and you don't accept our testimony.
 12 If I have told you earthly things, and you don't believe, how will you believe, if I tell you about heavenly things?
 13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, who is 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 So that whoever believes in him won't be destroyed, but have eternal life.
 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him won't be destroyed, but have everlasting life.
 17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so the world through him would be saved.
 18 He that believes on him is not condemned, but he that doesn't believe is already condemned, because he hasn't believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
 19 And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
 20 For everyone that does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, so that his wrongdoing won't be found out.
 21 But he that does truth comes to the light, so that his deeds will be shown to be done in God."
 22 After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he stayed with them, and baptized.
 23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was a lot of water there, and they came, and were baptized.
 24 For John had not yet been put in prison.
 25 Then a question arose between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
 26 And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he that was with you on the other side of Jordan, about whom you testified, see, he's baptizing, and all men come to him."
 27 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it is given to him from heaven.
 28 You yourselves know that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before him.'
 29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice, therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled.
 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
 31 He that comes from above is above all, he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth, he that comes from heaven is above all.
 32 And what he has seen and heard, he testifies about, and no man receives his testimony.
 33 He that has received his testimony believes that God is righteous.
 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit to him without limit.
 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
 36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he that doesn't believe the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains on him."

___John chapter 4
 1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
 2 (Though Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples did,)
 3 He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
 4 And he had to go through Samaria.
 5 Then he came to a city of Samaria that is called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
 6 Now Jacob's well was there.  Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat on the well, and it was about the sixth hour.
 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
 8 (For his disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.)
 9 Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink from me, who am a woman of Samaria?, for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans."
 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep, from where then do you have that living water?
 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?"
 13 Jesus answered her, "Whoever drinks of this water will get thirsty again,
 14 But whoever drinks of the water that I give him shall never get thirsty, but the water that I give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don't get thirsty, nor come here to draw."
 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
 17 The woman answered, "I have no husband."  Jesus said to her, "You have well said, I have no husband,
 18 For you've had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband, in that you spoke truly."
 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I can see that you're a prophet.
 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
 21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when you'll neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem worship the Father.
 22 You don't know what you worship, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him.
 24 God is a Spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
 25 The woman said to him, "I know the Messiah is coming, who is called Christ, when he has come, he will tell us all things."
 26 Jesus said to her, "I that speak to you am he."
 27 And then his disciples came, and were surprised that he talked with the woman, yet no man said, "What are you looking for?", or "Why are you talking with her?"
 28 Then the woman left her water pot, and went into the city, and said to the men,
 29 "Come and see a man, who told me everything I ever did, isn't this the Christ?"
 30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
 31 In the mean time his disciples asked him, "Please eat, Master."
 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."
 33 Therefore the disciples said to each other, "Has anyone brought him anything to eat?"
 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
 35 Don't you say, there are yet four months, and then comes the harvest?  See, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, for they are white already for harvesting.
 36 And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit yielding eternal life, so that both he that plants and he that reaps will rejoice together.
 37 And this is how that saying is true, 'One plants, and another harvests.'
 38 I sent you to harvest what you didn't work for, other men labored, and you have entered into their labors."
 39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything I ever did."
 40 So when the Samaritans had come to him, they asked him to remain with them, and he stayed there two days.
 41 And many more believed because of his own word,
 42 And said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your words, for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
 43 Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.
 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
 45 Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he'd turned the water to wine.  And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and asked him to come down, and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
 48 Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you won't believe."
 49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
 50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way, your son will live."  And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.
 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, "Your son will live."
 52 Then he asked them what hour he began to get better.  And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole family.
 54 This is the second miracle that Jesus did, after he had come out of Judea into Galilee.

___John chapter 5
 1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, that is called in the Hebrew language Bethesda, having five porches.
 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, of blind, those who walked with difficulty, 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.  Whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in, was healed of whatever disease he had.
 5 And a certain man was there, who had had an infirmity for thirty eight years.
 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that condition, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"
 7 The invalid man answered him, "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool, but while I am coming, someone else steps down before me."
 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your bed, and walk."
 9 And immediately the man was healed, and picked up his bed, and walked, and that day was the Sabbath day.
 10 The Jews therefore said to him that had been healed, "It is the Sabbath day, it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."
 11 He answered them, "He that made me well said to me, Pick up your bed, and walk."
 12 Then they asked him, "Which man is that who told you to pick up your bed, and walk?"
 13 And he that had been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had gone away, a multitude being in that place.
 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you've been healed, don't sin anymore, or something worse could happen to you."
 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
 16 And so the Jews persecuted Jesus, and looked for a way to kill him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
 17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father works up 'til now, and so do I."
 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
 19 Then Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do, for whatever things he does, these also the Son does likewise.
 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you'll be amazed.
 21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and makes them live, even so the Son makes alive whomever he wants to.
 22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
 23 So that all men would honor the Son, just like they honor the Father.  He that doesn't honor the Son, doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death to life.
 25 Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.
 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself,
 27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
 28 Don't be surprised at this, for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
 29 And shall come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
 30 I can of my own self do nothing, as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I don't seek my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
 31 If I testify of myself, my witness is not true.
 32 There is another that testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is true.
 33 You sent to John, and he testified to the truth.
 34 But I don't receive testimony from man, but these things I say, so that you'll be saved.
 35 He was a burning and a shining light, and you were willing for a while to rejoice in his light.
 36 But I have more important witness than from John, for the works that the Father has given me to finish, those works that I do, testify about me that the Father has sent me.
 37 And the Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me.  You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
 38 And you don't have his word living in you, for whom he has sent, you don't believe.
 39 Search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and they testify about me.
 40 And you will not come to me, so that you can have life.
 41 I don't receive honor from men.
 42 But I know you, that you don't have the love of God in you.
 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me.  If another comes in his own name, him you'll receive.
 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from each other, and don't seek the honor that comes from God only?
 45 Don't think that I will accuse you to the Father, there is one that accuses you, and that's Moses, in whom you trust.
 46 For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for he wrote about me.
 47 But if you don't believe his writings, how shall you believe my words?"

___John chapter 6
 1 After these things Jesus went across the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles that he did on those who were diseased.
 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
 4 And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was approaching.
 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a large multitude that had come to him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, so that these can eat?"
 6 And this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred penny's worth of bread is not enough for them, so that every one of them can take a little."
 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
 9 There is a boy here, "Who has five barley loaves, and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"
 10 And Jesus said, "Make the men sit down."  Now there was a lot of 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, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, and likewise of the fish as much as they wanted.
 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the pieces that are left, so that nothing is lost."
 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, that were left over after the people had eaten.
 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, "This is certainly that prophet that's supposed to come into the world."
 15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain by himself.
 16 And when evening had come, his disciples went down to the sea,
 17 And entered into a ship, and went across the sea toward Capernaum.  And it was now dark, and Jesus hadn't come to them.
 18 And the sea was stirred up by a great wind that blew.
 19 So when they had rowed about twenty five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the ship, and they were afraid.
 20 But he said to them, "It is I, don't be afraid."
 21 Then they willingly received him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land where they had been heading.
 22 The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus didn't go with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone,
 23 (But other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks,)
 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his 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 to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
 26 Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you don't seek me because you saw the miracles, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
 27 Don't work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give you, for him has God the Father sealed."
 28 Then they said to him, "What shall we do, so that we can do the works of God?"
 29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent."
 30 They said therefore to him, "What sign do you show then, so that we can see, and believe you?  What do you do?
 31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."
 32 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses didn't give you that bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
 33 For the bread of God is he that came down from heaven, and gives life to the world.
 34 Then they said to him, "Lord, always, increasingly give us this bread."
 35 And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life.  He that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst.
 36 But I said to you, that you also have seen me, and don't believe.
 37 Everyone that the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will in no way throw out.
 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
 39 And this is the Father's will who sent me, that of all that he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes on him, will have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
 41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
 42 And they said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?  How is it then that he says, I came down from heaven?"
 43 Jesus therefore answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.
 44 No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
 45 It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall be all taught by God.'  Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned from the Father, comes to me.
 46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he that is from God, he has seen the Father.
 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes on me has everlasting life.
 48 I am that bread of life.
 49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that a man can eat of it, and not die.
 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven, if any man eats of this bread, he'll live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world."
 52 The Jews therefore argued among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
 53 Then Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
 54 Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
 56 He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, lives in me, and I in him.
 57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me shall live by me.
 58 This is that bread that came down from heaven, not like your fathers ate manna, and are dead.  He that eats of this bread shall live forever.
 59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a difficult saying, who can understand it?"
 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, "Does this offend you?
 62 What if you see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
 63 It is the spirit that makes alive, the flesh doesn't profit, the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.
 64 But there are some of you that don't believe."  For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that didn't believe, and who would betray him.
 65 And he said, "That's why I said to you that no man can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father."
 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and didn't walk with him anymore.
 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Will you also go away?"
 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.
 69 And we believe and are sure that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
 70 Jesus answered them, "Haven't I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
 71 He was talking about Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for he it was that would betray him, being one of the twelve.

___John chapter 7
 1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Jewry, because the Jews were trying to kill him.
 2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was near.
 3 His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, so that your disciples also can see the works that you do.
 4 For there is no man that does anything in secret, and he himself wants to be known openly.  If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
 5 For his brothers didn't believe in him, either.
 6 Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
 7 The world can't hate you, but me it hates, because I testify about it, that it's doings are evil.
 8 You go up to this feast, I won't go up yet to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come."
 9 When he had said these words to them, he remained in Galilee.
 10 But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but secretly.
 11 Then the Jews looked for him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
 12 And there was a lot of murmuring among the people concerning him, for some said, "He is a good man."  Others said, "No, he deceives the people."
 13 But no man spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.
 14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
 15 And the Jews were surprised and said, "How does this man know letters, since he has no education?"
 16 Jesus answered them, "My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I'm speaking on my own.
 18 He that speaks on his own seeks his own glory, but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
 19 Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law?  Why are you trying to kill me?"
 20 The people answered and said, "You have a demon, who's trying to kill you?"
 21 Jesus answered them, I "have done one work, and you're all surprised.
 22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.
 23 If a man on the Sabbath day receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me, because I have made a man completely well on the Sabbath day?
 24 Don't judge according to appearances, but judge righteous judgment."
 25 Then some of those of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he, whom they're trying to kill?
 26 But, see, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him.  Do the rulers know indeed that this is the actual Christ?
 27 But we know where this man is from, but when Christ comes, no one knows where he's from."
 28 Then Jesus said loudly in the temple as he taught, saying, "You know me, and you also know where I'm from, and I haven't come on my own, but he that sent me is true, whom you don't know.
 29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he has sent me."
 30 Then they looked for a way to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
 31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, "When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these that this man has done?"
 32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him.
 33 Then Jesus said to them, "I am with you yet a little while, and then I go to him that sent me.
 34 You'll look for me, and won't find me, and where I am you can't come.
 35 Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where will he go so that we won't find him?  Will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
 36 What kind of saying is this, You'll look for me, and won't find me, and where I am you can't come?"
 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and shouted, "If any man's thirsty, let him come to me, and drink.
 38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
 39 (But he spoke this about the Spirit, that those who believe on him would receive, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
 40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."
 41 Others said, "This is the Christ."  But some said, "Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
 42 Don't the scriptures say that Christ comes from the descendants of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
 44 And some of them would have arrested him, but no man laid hands on him.
 45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why haven't you brought him?"
 46 The officers answered, "No man ever talked like this man."
 47 Then the Pharisees answered, "Are you also deceived?
 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
 49 But these people who don't know the law are cursed."
 50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
 51 "Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and knows what he's doing?"
 52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee?  Search, and look, for no prophet arises out of Galilee."
 53 And every man went to his own house.

___John chapter 8
 1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down, and taught them.
 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman arrested for adultery, and when they had set her among them,
 4 They said to him, "Master, this woman was arrested in adultery, in the very act.
 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned, but what do you say?"
 6 This they said, tempting him, so that they could have something to accuse him with.  But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he didn't hear them.
 7 So when they continued asking him, he stood up, and said to them, "He that is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
 9 And those who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, until the last, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing there.
 10 When Jesus had stood up, and saw no one but the woman, he said to her, "Woman, where are your accusers?  Doesn't anyone condemn you?"
 11 She said, "No man, Lord."  And Jesus said to her, "Nor do I condemn you, go, and sin no more."
 12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, "I am the light of the world, he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself, your record is not true."
 14 Jesus answered them, "Though I testify about myself, yet my record is true, for I know where I came from, and where I'm going, but you can't tell where I came from, nor where I'm going.
 15 You judge after the flesh, I judge no one.
 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
 18 I am one that testifies about myself, and the Father that sent me testifies about me."
 19 Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?"  Jesus answered, "You don't know me or my Father, if you had known me, you would have known my Father also."
 20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple, and no man laid hands on him, for his hour had not yet come.
 21 Then Jesus said again to them, "I go my way, and you'll look for me, and shall die in your sins, where I go, you can't come."
 22 Then the Jews said, "Will he kill himself?"  Because he said, "Where I go, you can't come."
 23 And he said to them, "You are from beneath, I am from above, you are of this world, I am not of this world.
 24 I said therefore to you, that you'll die in your sins, for if you don't believe that I am he, you'll die in your sins."
 25 Then they said to him, "Who are you?"  And Jesus said to them, "I'm the same one I've been telling you about from the beginning.
 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you, but he that sent me is true, and I speak to the world the things that I've heard from him."
 27 They didn't understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
 28 Then Jesus said to them, "When you've lifted up the Son of man, then you'll know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
 29 And he that sent me is with me, the Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that please him."
 30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
 31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, "If you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed,
 32 And you'll know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and were never in bondage to any man, what do you mean, You'll be made free?"
 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
 35 And the servant doesn't live in the house forever, but the Son lives forever.
 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you'll be free indeed.
 37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you're trying to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and you do that which you have seen with your father."
 39 They answered him, "Abraham is our father."  Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
 40 But now you're trying to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard from God.  Abraham didn't do that.
 41 You do the deeds of your father."  Then they said to him, "We're not born from fornication, we have one Father, God."
 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and came from God, nor did I come on my own, but he sent me.
 43 Why don't you understand my speech?  Because you can't hear my word.
 44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you'll do.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and didn't stay in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar, and the father of it.
 45 And because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me.
 46 Which of you can show me to be a sinner?  And if I say the truth, why don't you believe me?
 47 He that is of God hears God's words, you therefore don't hear, because you are not of God."
 48 Then the Jews answered him, "Don't we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
 49 Jesus answered, "I don't have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
 50 And I don't seek my own glory, there is one that seeks and judges.
 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if a man keeps my sayings, he'll never see death."
 52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon.  Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and you say, 'If a man keeps my sayings, he'll never taste of death.'
 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?  And the prophets are dead.  Whom are you trying to make of yourself?"
 54 Jesus answered, "If I honor myself, my honor is nothing, it is my Father that honors me, about whom you say, that he is your God,
 55 Yet you haven't known him, but I know him, and if I were to say I don't know him, I would be a liar like you.  But I know him, and keep his sayings.
 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and was glad."
 57 Then the Jews said to him, "You're not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am."
 59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by.

___John chapter 9
 1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
 2 And his disciples asked him, "Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, so that he was born blind?"
 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man, nor his parents, but so that the works of God would be revealed through him.
 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day, the night comes, when no man can work.
 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
 6 When he had said that, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the saliva, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
 7 And said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam," (which is by interpretation, "sent.")  He went his way therefore, and washed, and returned with good eyesight.
 8 The neighbors therefore, and those who had seen before that he was blind, said, "Isn't this he that sat and begged?"
 9 Some said, "This is he."  Others said, "He is like him," but he said, "I am he."
 10 Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?"
 11 He answered, "A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash,' and I went and washed, and I received sight."
 12 Then they said to him, "Where is he?"  He said, "I don't know."
 13 They brought to the Pharisees him that had been blind.
 14 And it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.  He said, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
 16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not of God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath day."  Others said, "How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?"  And there was a division among them.
 17 They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about him, that he has opened your eyes?"  He said, "He is a prophet."
 18 But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called for the parents of him that had received his sight.
 19 And they asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind?  How then does he now see?"
 20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
 21 But by what means he now sees, we don't know, or who has opened his eyes, we don't know, he is of age, ask him, he'll speak for himself."
 22 His parents spoke these words, because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
 23 That's why his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."
 24 Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise, we know that this man is a sinner."
 25 He answered, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know.  One thing I know, that although I was blind, now I see."
 26 Then they said to him again, "What did he do to you?  How did he open your eyes?"
 27 He answered them, "I've told you already, and you didn't hear.  Why would you hear it again?  Do you also want to be his disciples?"
 28 Then they made fun of him, and said, "You are his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, as for this fellow, we don't know where he's from."
 30 The man answered them, "Why in this is a marvelous thing, that you don't know where he's from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
 31 Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he hears him.
 32 Since the world began it wasn't heard that any man opened the eyes of someone born blind.
 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing."
 34 They answered him, "You were completely born in sins, and do you teach us?"  And they threw him out.
 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he had found him, he said to him, "Do you believe on the Son of God?"
 36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, so I can believe on him?"
 37 And Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he that talks with you."
 38 And he said, "Lord, I believe."  And he worshiped him.
 39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who don't see can see, and so that those who see will be made blind."
 40 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said to him, "Are we blind also?"
 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, 'We see,' therefore your sin remains."

___John chapter 10
 1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he that doesn't enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.
 2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
 3 To him the door keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
 4 And when he sends out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
 5 And they won't follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they don't know the voice of strangers."
 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand the things that he spoke to them.
 7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
 8 All that ever came prior to my coming are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
 9 I am the door, by me if anyone enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
 10 The thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, I have come so they can have life, and so they can have it more abundantly.
 11 I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
 12 But he that is a hired hand, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
 13 The hired hand flees, because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care about the sheep.
 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known by them.
 15 As the Father knows me, even so, I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
 16 And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold, them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
 17 Therefore my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, so that I can take it again.
 18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own.  I have the ability to lay it down, and I have the ability to take it again.  I have received this commandment from my Father."
 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
 20 And many of them said, "He has a demon, and is crazy, why do you listen to him?"
 21 Others said, "These are not the words of him that has a demon.  Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
 22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
 24 Then the Jews came around him, and said to him, "How long will you make us doubt?  If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
 25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you didn't believe, the works that I do in my Father's name, they testify about me.
 26 But you don't believe because you are not of my sheep, like I said to you.
 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,
 28 And I give them eternal life, and they'll never be destroyed, nor will anyone pluck them out of my hand.
 29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
 30 I and my Father are one."
 31 Then the Jews picked up stones again to throw at him.
 32 Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I shown you from my Father, for which of those works do you stone me?"
 33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God."
 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, You are gods?'
 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture can't be broken,
 36 Do you say about him whom the Father has made holy, and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, I am the Son of God?
 37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.
 38 But if I do, though you don't believe me, believe the works, so that you'll know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him."
 39 Therefore they tried again to find a way to arrest him, but he escaped out of their hand,
 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized, and he lived there.
 41 And many resorted to him, and said, "John did no miracle, but all things that John spoke about this man were true."
 42 And many believed on him there.

___John chapter 11
 1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
 2 (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
 3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, see, he whom you love is sick."
 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, "This sickness is not fatal, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God will be glorified by it."
 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he remained two days still in the same place where he was.
 7 Then after that he said to his disciples, "Let's go into Judea again."
 8 His disciples said to him, "Master, the Jews recently tried to stone you, and are you going there again?"
 9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours in the day?  If any man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
 10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him."
 11 He said these things, and after that he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps.  But I go, so I can awake him out of sleep."
 12 Then his disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps, he's doing well."
 13 But Jesus meant he was dead.  But they thought that he'd spoken about taking of rest in sleep.
 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you'll believe, anyway, let's go to him."
 16 Then Thomas who is called Didymus said, to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so we can die with him."
 17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had been laying in the grave four days already.
 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him.  But Mary sat still in the house.
 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
 22 But I know, that even now, whatever you ask God for, God will do for you."
 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother shall rise again."
 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection, and the life.  He that believes in me, though he were dead, yet he will live,
 26 And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.  Do you believe this?"
 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, that was supposed to come into the world."
 28 And when she had said that, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The Master has come, and asks for you."
 29 As soon as she heard that, she got up quickly, and went to him.
 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him.
 31 The Jews then, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her saying, "She's going to the grave to cry there."
 32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
 33 When Jesus therefore saw her crying, and the Jews also crying who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
 34 And said, "Where have you laid him?"  They said to him, "Lord, come and see."
 35 Jesus wept.
 36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
 37 And some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man would not have died?"
 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself went to the grave.  It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone."  Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time he stinks, for he has been dead four days."
 40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I say to you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God?"
 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead had been laid.  And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
 42 And I knew that you hear me always, but because of the people that stand by I said it, so that they will believe that you have sent me."
 43 And when he thus had spoken, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
 44 And he that had been dead came out, bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a napkin.  Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." 
 45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed on him.
 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them the things Jesus had done.
 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we going to do?  For this man is doing many miracles.
 48 If we let him alone, all men will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation."
 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
 50 Nor consider that it is best for us that one man should die for the people, so that the whole nation is not destroyed."
 51 And he didn't speak this on his own, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for that nation,
 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he would gather together the children of God that were scattered abroad.
 53 Then from that day onward they plotted together to put him to death.
 54 Jesus therefore didn't walk any more openly among the Jews, but went from there to a country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and continued there with his disciples.
 55 And the Jews' Passover had nearly arrived, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
 56 Then they looked for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think, that he will not come to the feast?"
 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment that if any man knew where he was, he must tell them, so they could arrest him.

___John chapter 12
 1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
 2 They made him a supper there.  And Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
 3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
 4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, Simon's son, who would betray him, said,
 5 "Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?"
 6 This he said, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and carried what was put in it.
 7 Then Jesus said, "Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of my burying.
 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don't always have me."
 9 Many of the Jews therefore knew that he was there, and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but so they could see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
 10 But the chief priests consulted about also putting Lazarus to death,
 11 Since because of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
 12 On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and shouted, "Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord."
 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat on it, as it is written,
 15 "Fear not, daughter of Zion.  See, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt."
 16 His disciples didn't understand these things at first, but after Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
 17 The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, became witnesses.
 18 For this reason the people also met him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you don't prevail at all?  See, the world follows him."
 20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
 21 So they went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
 22 Philip went and told Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
 23 And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone.  But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
 25 He that loves his life shall lose it.  And he that hates his life in this world shall keep it and have life eternal.
 26 If any man serves me, let him follow me.  And where I am, my servant will be there also.  If any man serves me, my Father will honor him.
 27 Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say?  'Father, save me from this hour?,' but for this reason I came to this hour.
 28 Father, glorify your name."  Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered.  Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
 30 Jesus answered, "This voice didn't come because of me, but for your sakes.
 31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the prince of this world be thrown out.
 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me."
 33 This he said, signifying what death he would die.
 34 The people answered him, "We have heard out of the law that Christ lives forever, so how can you say, 'The Son of man must be lifted up?'  Who is this Son of man?"
 35 Then Jesus said to them, "For yet a little while, the light is with you.  Walk while you have the light, so that darkness doesn't come on you, for he that walks in darkness doesn't know where he's going.
 36 While you have light, believe in the light, so that you'll be the children of light."  Jesus spoke these things, and departed, and hid himself from them.
 37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they didn't believe on him,
 38 So that the saying of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, that he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report?  And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
 39 Therefore they couldn't believe, because Isaiah said again,
 40 "He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so they wouldn't see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I would heal them."
 41 Isaiah said these things, when he saw his glory, and spoke about him.
 42 However, among the top rulers also many believed on him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess him, so they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,
 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
 44 Jesus shouted and said, "He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
 45 And he that sees me sees him that sent me.
 46 I have come a light into the world, so that whoever believes on me won't remain in darkness.
 47 And if any man hears my words, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him, for I didn't come to judge the world, but to save the world.
 48 He that rejects me, and doesn't receive my words, has one that judges him, the word that I have spoken shall judge him at the last day.
 49 For I haven't spoken of myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting.  Whatever I speak therefore, just as the Father said to me, so I speak."

___John chapter 13
 1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come that he was to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them until the end.
 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and went to God,
 4 He got up from supper, and laid aside his garments, and took a towel, and wrapped it around himself.
 5 After that he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel.
 6 Then he came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
 7 Jesus answered him, "What I do you don't know now, but you'll know later."
 8 Peter said to him, "You'll never wash my feet."  Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash them, you have no part with me."
 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
 10 Jesus said to him, "He that is washed only needs his feet washed, but is every bit clean, and you are clean, but not all."
 11 For he knew who would betray him.  That's why he said, "You're not all clean."
 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
 13 You call me Master and Lord, and you're right, because I am.
 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other's feet.
 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor is he that is sent greater than the one who sent him.
 17 If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.
 18 I'm not talking about you all.  I know whom I have chosen, but so that the scripture will be fulfilled, 'He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.'
 19 Now I tell you before it happens, so that, when it has happened, you'll believe that I am he.
 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that receives whomever I send receives me.  And he that receives me receives him that sent me."
 21 When Jesus had said that, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
 22 Then the disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant.
 23 Now one of his disciples was leaning on Jesus' chest, whom Jesus loved.
 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it was about whom he spoke.
 25 He then lying on Jesus' chest said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
 26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I'll give a sop, after I've have dipped it."  And after he dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
 27 And after the sop, Satan entered into him.  Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
 28 Now no man at the table knew why he said that to him.
 29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy the things that we need for the feast," or, that he should give something to the poor.
 30 He then, having received the sop went immediately out, and it was night.
 31 Therefore, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
 32 If God is glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall immediately glorify him.
 33 Little children, I am with you yet a little while.  You'll seek me, and as I said to the Jews, where I go, you can't come, so I say now to you.
 34 A new commandment I give you, that you love each other, as I have loved you, that you also love each other.
 35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for each other."
 36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?"  Jesus answered him, "Where I'm going, you can't follow me now, but you'll follow me afterward."
 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now?  I will lay down my life for your sake."
 38 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for my sake?  Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster won't crow, until you've denied me three times."

___John chapter 14
 1 "Don't let your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me.
 2 In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.
 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you'll be there also.
 4 And where I'm going you know, and the way you know."
 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you're going, and how can we know the way?"
 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father, except by me.
 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also, and from now on you know him, and have seen him."
 8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it will be sufficient for us."
 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been such a long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip?  He that has seen me has seen the Father, and how then can you say, 'Show us the Father?'
 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?  The words that I speak to you I don't speak on my own, but the Father that lives in me.  He does the works.
 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works' sake.
 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do, he shall do also.  And greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father.
 13 And whatever you ask in my name, that's what I'll do, so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
 14 If you ask anything in my name, I'll do it.
 15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
 16 And I will pray to the Father, and he'll give you another Comforter, so that he will live with you forever,
 17 Who is the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive, because it doesn't see him, nor know him.  But you know him, for he lives with you, and shall be in you.
 18 I will not leave you comfortless.  I will come to you.
 19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more.  But you see me.  Because I live, you'll live also.
 20 At that day you'll know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
 21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me.  And he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
 22 Judas said to him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how is it that you'll reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
 23 Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and live with him.
 24 He that doesn't love me doesn't keep my sayings.  And the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
 25 I've spoken these things to you while yet present with you.
 26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he'll teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.  Not like the world gives, do I give to you.  Don't let your heart be troubled, and don't let it be afraid.
 28 You've heard how I said to you, I go away, and come again to you.  If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father, for my Father is greater than I am.
 29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that, when it has happened, you will believe.
 30 From now on I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
 31 But so that the world will know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, so I do.  Get up, let's go from here."

___John chapter 15
 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vineyard keeper.
 2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit he takes away.  And every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, so it will produce more fruit.
 3 Now you are clean through the word that I've spoken to you.
 4 Remain in me, and I in you.  As the branch can't bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, no more can you, unless you remain in me.
 5 I am the vine, you are the branches.  He that remains in me, and I in him, the same produces a lot of fruit, for without me you can do nothing.
 6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and is withered, and men gather them, and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
 7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you'll ask whatever you want, and it shall be done to you.
 8 In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit.  So shall you be my disciples.
 9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you, continue in my love.
 10 If you keep my commandments, you'll remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.
 11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy will remain in you, and so your joy will be full.
 12 This is my commandment, that you love each other, like I have loved you.
 13 No man has greater love than this, that a man lays down his life for his friends.
 14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
 15 From now on I don't call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord is doing, but I have called you friends, for all things that I've heard from my Father I've made known to you.
 16 You haven't chosen me, but I've chosen you, and ordained you, so that you'll go and produce fruit, and so your fruit will remain, so that whatever you ask from the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
 17 These things I command you, that you love each other.
 18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own.  But because you're not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
 20 Remember the word that I said to you, the servant is not greater than his lord.  If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.  If they've kept my sayings, they will keep yours also.
 21 But they will do all these things to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him that sent me.
 22 If I hadn't come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no covering for their sin.
 23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
 24 If I hadn't done among them the works that no other man did, they would not have had sin.  But now they've seen and hated both me and my Father.
 25 But this happens so that the word is fulfilled that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a reason.'
 26 But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, who is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he'll testify about me.
 27 And you'll also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning."

___John chapter 16
 1 "These things I have spoken to you, so that you won't be offended.
 2 They'll put you out of the synagogues.  Yes, the time will come, that whoever kills you will think that he's doing God a service.
 3 And these things they'll do to you, because they haven't known the Father, nor me.
 4 But these things I've told you, so that when the time comes, you'll remember that I told you about them.  And these things I didn't say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me.  And none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
 7 Even so, I tell you the truth, It's best for you that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Comforter won't come to you.  But if I depart, I'll send him to you.
 8 And when he has come, he'll reveal the sin of the world, and will show righteousness, and will show justice.
 9 Of sin, because they don't believe on me.
 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more.
 11 Of justice, because the prince of this world is judged.
 12 I still have many things to say to you, but you can't cope with them now.
 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever he shall hear, he will speak.  And he'll show you things to come.
 14 He'll glorify me, for he'll receive of mine, and shall show it to you.
 15 All things that the Father has are mine.  That's why I said, he'll take of mine, and shall show it to you.
 16 A little while, and you won't see me.  And again, a little while, and you'll see me, because I go to the Father."
 17 Then some of his disciples said among themselves, "What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you won't see me, and again, a little while, and you'll see me, and, because I go to the Father?"
 18 They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?'  We can't tell what he's saying."
 19 Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves about the saying, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again, a little while, and you'll see me?'
 20 Truly, truly, I say to you that you'll cry and lament, but the world will rejoice.  And you'll be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
 21 A woman, when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come, but as soon as she gets deliverance from the baby, she no longer remembers the pain, for the joy that a man has been born into the world.
 22 And you now therefore have sorrow.  But I'll see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
 23 And in that day you'll ask me nothing.  Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he'll give it to you.
 24 Until now you've asked nothing in my name, ask, and you'll receive, so that your joy will be full.
 25 I have spoken these things to you in proverbs.  But the time will come, when I'll no longer speak to you in proverbs, but I'll show you plainly from the Father.
 26 At that day you'll ask in my name.  And I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you.
 27 For the Father himself loves you, because you've loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
 28 I came from the Father, and have come into the world.  Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
 29 His disciples said to him, "See, now you're speaking plainly, and not speaking a proverb.
 30 Now we're sure that you know all things, and don't need for any man to ask you.  By this we believe that you came from God."
 31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
 32 See, the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you'll be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone.  And yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me.
 33 These things I have spoken to you so that in me you'll have peace.  In the world you'll have tribulation.  But be of good cheer, I've overcome the world."

___John chapter 17
 1 Jesus spoke these words, and looked up toward heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come.  Glorify your Son, so that your Son will also glorify you.
 2 As you've given him power over all flesh, so that he'd give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
 3 And this is life eternal, that they'll know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you've sent.
 4 I have glorified you on the earth.  I've finished the work that you gave me to do.
 5 And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self, with the glory that I had with you before the world was.
 6 I have revealed your name to the men that you gave me out of the world.  They were yours, and you gave them to me.  And they have kept your word.
 7 Now they have known that all things that you've given me are from you.
 8 For I've given them the words that you gave me.  And they've received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they've believed that you sent me.
 9 I pray for them.  I don't pray for the world, but for those that you've given me, for they are yours.
 10 And all of mine are yours, and yours are mine.  And I'm glorified in them.
 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you.  Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you've given me, so that they'll be one, as we are.
 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name.  Those that you gave me I've kept, and none of them is lost, except for the son of hell, so that the scripture would be fulfilled.
 13 And now come I to you.  And these things I speak in the world, so that they'll have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
 14 I've given them your word.  And the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
 15 I don't pray that you'll take them out of the world, but that you'll keep them from the evil.
 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
 17 Make them holy through your truth.  Your word is truth.
 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I've also sent them into the world.
 19 And for their sakes I purify myself, so that they also will be made holy through the truth.
 20 Nor do I pray for these only, but for those also who will believe on me through their word,
 21 So that they'll all be one, as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, so that they'll also be one in us, so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
 22 And the glory that you gave I've given them, so that they'll be one, just as we are one,
 23 I in them, and you in me, so that they'll be made perfect in one, and so the world will know that you've sent me, and have loved them, like you've loved me.
 24 Father, I also want those that you've given me to be with me where I am, so that they'll see my glory that you've given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
 25 O righteous Father, the world hasn't known you.  But I've known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
 26 And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it, so that the love with which you've loved me will be in them, and I in them."

___John chapter 18
 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
 2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
 3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would happen to him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
 5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth."  Jesus said to them, "I am he."  And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
 6 As soon then as he had told them, "I am he," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
 7 Then he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?"  And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
 8 Jesus answered, "I've told you that I am he.  If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
 9 So that the saying would be fulfilled that he said, "Of those that you gave me, I've lost none."
 10 Then Simon Peter having a sword pulled it out, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear.  The servant's name was Malchus.
 11 Then Jesus said to Peter, "Put away your sword into the sheath.  The cup that my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"
 12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and tied him,
 13 And led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.
 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who gave advice to the Jews that it was best for one man to die for the people.
 15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple.  That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
 16 But Peter stood outside at the door.  Then that other disciple went out, who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
 17 Then the young woman that kept the door said to Peter, "Aren't you also one of this man's disciples?"  He said, "I'm 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 Then the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teachings.
 20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world.  I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always go.  And I've said nothing in secret.
 21 Why do you ask me?  Ask those who heard me what I've said to them.  See, they know what I said."
 22 And when he had said this, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, and said, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"
 23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify about the evil, but if well, why do you strike me?"
 24 Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
 25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself.  They said therefore to him, "Aren't you also one of his disciples?"  He denied it, saying, "I'm not."
 26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"
 27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment.  And it was early.  And they themselves didn't go into the judgment hall, so they wouldn't be defiled, but so they could eat the Passover.
 29 Then Pilate went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
 30 They answered him, "If he weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have brought him to you."
 31 Then Pilate said to them, "You take him and judge him according to your law."  The Jews therefore said to him, "It is not lawful for us to execute anyone,"
 32 So that the saying of Jesus would be fulfilled, that he spoke, signifying what death he would die.
 33 Then Pilate went into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
 34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this thing on your own, or did others say this to you about me?"
 35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew?  Your own nation and the chief priests have brought you to me.  What have you done?"
 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world.  If my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, so that I wouldn't be given to the Jews.  But now is my kingdom not from here."
 37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"  Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king.  That's why I was born, and I came into the world for this reason, so that I would testify to the truth.  Everyone that is of the truth hears my voice."
 38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"  And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault at all in him.
 39 But you have a custom, that I should set someone free for you at the Passover.  So do you want me to set free the King of the Jews for you?"
 40 Then they all shouted again, "Not this man, but Barabbas."  Now Barabbas was a robber.

___John chapter 19
 1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and whipped him.
 2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him,
 3 And said, "Hail, King of the Jews!"  And they struck him with their hands.
 4 Pilate therefore went out again, and said to them, "See, I bring him out to you, so you'll know that I find no fault in him."
 5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.  And Pilate said to them, "Look at the man!"
 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him, crucify him."  Pilate said to them, "You take 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 more afraid,
 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?"  But Jesus gave him no answer.
 10 Then Pilate said to him, "You won't answer me?  Don't you know that I have the authority to crucify you, and have authority to set you free?"
 11 Jesus answered, "You could have no authority at all over me, unless it had been given to you from above, therefore he that brought me to you has the greater sin."
 12 And from then on Pilate looked for a way to release him, but the Jews shouted, "If you let this man go, you're not Caesar's friend.  Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
 13 When Pilate therefore heard that, he brought Jesus out, 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 said to the Jews, "Look at your King!"
 15 But they shouted, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him."  Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"  The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
 16 Then he gave him therefore to them to be crucified.  And they took Jesus, and led him away.
 17 And he, carrying his cross went out into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,
 18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
 19 And Pilate wrote a sign, and put it on the cross.  And the sign said, "Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews."
 20 Then many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city.  And it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Don't write, 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 divided them into four parts, to each 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's not tear it, but draw straws for it, to see who gets it," so that the scripture would be fulfilled, that says, "They divided my clothing among them, and for my vesture they drew straws."  These things therefore the soldiers did.
 25 Now Jesus' mother stood by his cross, 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 said to his mother, "Woman, look at your son!"
 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Look at your mother!"  And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
 28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things had now been accomplished, so that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, "I'm thirsty."
 29 Now a container full of vinegar was sitting there.  And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on 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 yielded up the spirit.
 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, so the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was a high day,) asked Pilate for their legs to be broken, and that they would be taken away.
 32 Then the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who were crucified with him.
 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs.
 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately blood and water came out.
 35 And he that saw it testified, and his testimony is true.  And he knows that he's telling the truth, so that you'll believe.
 36 For these things were done, so that the scripture would be fulfilled, "No bone of him shall be broken."
 37 And again, another scripture says, "They shall look at him whom they pierced."
 38 And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take away the body of Jesus.  And Pilate gave him permission.  He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
 39 And Nicodemus also came, who at the first came to Jesus at night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds in weight.
 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloth with the spices, the way the Jews bury people.
 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been buried.
 42 Therefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews' preparation day, for the tomb was nearby.

___John chapter 20
 1 The first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early, when it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
 2 Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They've taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've laid him."
 3 Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple, and came to the tomb.
 4 So they both ran together.  And the other disciple outran Peter, and arrived first at the tomb.
 5 And stooping down, and looking in, he saw the linen clothes lying.  But he didn't go in.
 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb, and saw the linen clothes lie,
 7 And the napkin, that had been around his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
 8 Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.
 9 For they didn't yet know the scripture that he must rise again from the dead.
 10 Then the disciples went away again to their own home.
 11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb crying.  And as she cried, she stooped down, and looked into the tomb,
 12 And saw 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 said to her, "Woman, why are you crying?"  She said to them, "Because they've taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they've laid him."
 14 And when she had said that, she turned around, and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know it was Jesus.
 15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you crying?  Who are you looking for?"  She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you've carried him from here, tell me where you've laid him, and I will take him away."
 16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."  She turned around, and said to him, "Rabboni," which is to say, "Master."
 17 Jesus said to her, "Don't touch me, 'cause I haven't yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to 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 said these things to 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, Jesus came and stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
 20 And when he had so said, he showed them his hands and his side.  Then the disciples were glad, when they saw the Lord.
 21 Then Jesus said to them again, "Peace be to you, as my Father has sent me, so I send you."
 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Ghost.
 23 Whoever's sins you cancel, they are cancelled for them, and whoever's sins you 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 to him, "We've seen the Lord."  But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
 26 And after eight days again his disciples were indoors, and Thomas with them.  Then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood among them, and said, "Peace be to you."
 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and see my hands, and reach your hand here, and put it into my side, and don't be faithless, but believing."
 28 And Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God."
 29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you've believed, blessed are those who haven't seen, and yet have believed."
 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, that are not written in this book,
 31 But these are written, so that you'll believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you'll have life through his name.

___John chapter 21
 1 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and here's how he showed himself.
 2 Gathered together were 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 said to them, "I'm going fishing."  They said to him, "We'll go, too."  They went out, and entered into a ship immediately.  And that night they caught nothing.
 4 But when the morning had come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus.
 5 Then Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?"  They answered him, "No."
 6 And he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you'll find."  They threw therefore, and now they were not able to pull it for the multitude of fish.
 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord."  Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his fisherman's coat, (for he was naked,) and jumped into the sea.
 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship, (for they weren't far from land, but about a hundred yards,) dragging the net with fish.
 9 As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you've now caught."
 11 Simon Peter went up, and pulled the net to land full of large fish, one hundred fifty three fish, and though there were so many, yet the net was not broken.
 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat."  And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?," knowing that it was the Lord.
 13 Then Jesus came, and took bread, and gave it to them, and also fish.
 14 This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
 15 So when they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jona, do you love me more than you love these?"  He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you."  He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
 16 He said to him again the second time, "Simon, son of Jona, do you love me?"  He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you."  He said to him, "Feed my sheep."
 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jona, do you love me?"  Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?"  And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything, you know I love you."  Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to, but when you're old, you'll reach out your hands, and someone else will dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go."
 19 This he spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God.  And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."
 20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his chest at supper, and said, "Lord, who is it that will betray you?"
 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, and what shall this man do?"
 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to wait until I come, what is that to you?  Follow me."
 23 Then this saying went around among the brothers, that that disciple wouldn't die, yet Jesus didn't say to him, "He won't die," but, "If I want him to wait until I come, what is that to you?"
 24 This is the disciple who's testifying about these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
 25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were all to be written, I suppose even the world itself couldn't contain the books that would be written.  Amen.
