35 to accomplish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are 1 white already unto 36 harvest. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another 38 reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour. 39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I 40 did. So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there 41 two days. And many more believed because of his word; 42 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. 43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into 44 Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own coun45 try. So when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all 1 Or, white unto harvest. officer 3 Or, Lord rities read the feast. things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. He came therefore again 46 unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard 47 that Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Jesus 48 therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. The 2 nobleman saith 49 unto him, 3Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith 50 unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now 51 going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived. So he inquired of 52 them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew 53 that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second sign 54 that Jesus did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee. After these things there 15 was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Already he that reapeth &c. 2 Or, king's 2 Afterward Jesus findeth him 14 in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee. The 15 man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole. And 16 for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered 17 them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work. For this cause therefore the 18 Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five 3 porches. In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered 2. 5 And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. 6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest 7 thou be made whole? The sick man answered him, 3 Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another step-making himself equal with 8 peth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take 9 up thy bed, and walk. And straightway the man made whole, and took up his bed and walked. was 10 Now it was the sabbath on that day. So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy 11 bed. But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up 12 thy bed, and walk. They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up 13 thy bed, and walk? But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place. God. Jesus therefore answered 19 and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. For the Father lov-20 eth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel. For as 21 the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also_quickeneth whom he will. For neither 22 doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgement unto the Son; 2 Many 1 Some ancient authorities read Bethsaida, others, Bethzatha. ancient authorities insert, wholly or in part, waiting for the moving of the water: 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden. 3 Or, Lord 23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgement, but hath passed out of death 25 into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they 26 that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in him27 self: and he gave him authority to execute judgement, because he is the Son of 28 man. Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall 29 hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have 2 done ill, unto the resurrection of judgement. 30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that 31 sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not 32 true. It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth. But the witness 34 which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved. He was the lamp that burn- 35 eth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. But the witness 36 which I have is greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father 37 which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. And 38 ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. 3 Ye 39 search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; and ye will 40 not come to me, that ye may have life. I receive not glory 41 from men. But I know you, 42 that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. I am 43 come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, 44 which receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from 4the only God ye seek not? Think not that 45 I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your 8 Or, Search the scriptures 1 Or, a son of man 2 Or, practised Some ancient authorities read the only one. 46 hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; 47 for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 61 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is 2 the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that 3 were sick. And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disci4 ples. Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at 5 hand. Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy 1 bread, 6 that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he 7 would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred 2pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every 8 one may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith 9 unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are 10 these among so many? Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five 11 thousand. Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as Jesus therefore perceiving 15 that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone. And when evening came, 16 his disciples went down unto the sea; and they entered 17 into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. And the sea was rising 18 by reason of a great wind that blew. When therefore 19 they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid. But 20 he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. They were 21 willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. 1 Gr. loaves. 2 See marginal note on Matt. xviii, 28. ancient authorities read signs. 3 Some 22 On the morrow the multitude which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other 1boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone 23 (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had 24 given thanks): when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the 2 boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when 26 camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, 27 and were filled. Work not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed. 28 They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him 30 whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest 1 Gr. little boat. should raise him up thou? Our fathers ate the 31 manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. Jesus therefore said unto 32 them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of 33 God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. They said therefore unto 34 him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. Jesus said unto 35 them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall: not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, 36 that ye have seen me, and yet believe not. All that 37 which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I am 38 come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him 39 that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. For this is the 40 will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
