John
the
Baptist's Testimony of Jesus John 3 26 And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, [He] who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to whom you have begotten witness, Behold this [one] baptizes and all come to him. 27 John answered and said: [a] man is able to be receiving nothing unless it have been given to him out of heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said: I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before that [one]. 29 The [one] having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, the [one] who has stood and has heard him, rejoices with joy because of the sound of the bridegroom. So my joy has been fulfilled. 30 He must be increasing, but I must be diminishing. 31 The [one] coming from above is over all; the [one] being from the earth is out of the earth and speaks out of the earth. The [one] being from heaven is over all. 32 What he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no one receives his testimony. 33 The [one] having received his testimony has set his seal [to this], that God is true. 34 For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the spirit by measure. 35 The father agape-loves the son, and has given everything into his hand. 36 The [one] believing in the son has eternal zoe-life, but the [one] disobeying the son will not see zoe-life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
LIFE
THROUGH
THE SON John 5 24
Truly truly I say
to you that the [one] hearing my word and believing
the [one] having sent me has eternal zoe-life , and does not come
into judgment, but is moved out of death into
zoe-life. 25 Truly truly I say to
you that [the] hour comes and now is when the dead
will hear the
cry of the son of God and those having heard will zoe-live. 26
For as the father has zoe-life in himself, likewise
also to the son he has given zoe-life to be having in
himself. 27 And
he gave him authority to be doing judgment,
because he is [a] son of man. 28
Be not marveling at this, that [the] hour comes
in which all those in the graves will hear his
voice, 29
[but] those having
done [as a practice] worthless [things] will come out
to [the] resurrection of judgment. 30
For I am not
able to be doing anything from myself; just as I
hear
do I judge, and my
judgment is just, because I do not seek my own
will but the will of the [one] having sent me.
31 If I
witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
32
Another is witness concerning me, and I know that
the witness is true that he witnessed concerning
me. 33 You
sent to John, and he has witnessed to the truth;
34 but I
do not receive witness by man, but I say these
[things] that you be saved. 35
That [one] was the
burning and shining lamp and you wanted to rejoice
for [hour] in his light. 36 But I have [a] witness
greater than John; for the works that the father
has given me in order that I complete them, these works
themselves which I do witness concerning me that
the father has sent me. 37And the father having
sent me, that [one] has witnessed concerning me.
Neither his voice have you ever heard
nor
his visible-form have you ever seen, 38
and his word you do
not have abiding in you, because he whom that
[one] has sent, in this [one] do you not believe.
39 You
search
the Scriptures, because you suppose in them to be
having eternal zoe-life, and these are those
witnessing concerning me. 40 And you do not want to
come to me in order that you have zoe-life.
and those
having done good will come out to [the] resurrection
of zoe-life. THOSE
WHO
HEAR THE FATHER COME TO JESUS John
6 45
It is written in the prophets,
And
they will all be taught by God. Everyone having heard
the father and
having learned [from him] comes toward me. 46 Not that anyone has seen
the father, except the [one] being from God, this
[one] has seen the father. 47 Truly truly I say to
you, the [one] believing has eternal zoe-life. JESUS
HEARS
FROM THE FATHER John 8 25 So they were saying to
him, Who are you? Jesus said to them:
What I told you
from the beginning. 26 I have many
[things] concerning you to be saying and to be
judging. But the [one] having sent me is true,
and I, what I heard from him, these
[things] I speak to the world. John 8 37
I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to
kill me, because my word does not have room in you.
38 What
I have seen beside the father I speak, and
therefore what you heard from your father you
do. 39 They answered and said
to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus says to them:
If you are children
of Abraham, you would have done the works of
Abraham. 40 But
now you seek to kill me [a] man who has spoken
to you the truth, which I heard
from God; this
Abraham did not do. 41 You do the works
[of your] father.
They said to him: We were not born out of
fornication, We have one father - God. 42
Jesus said to them:
If God were your
father, you would have agape-loved me, for I
have gone out from God and have come. For
neither am I come from myself, but that [one]
sent me. 43 Why
do you not know my speech? Because you are not
able to be hearing my word. 44
You are from
your father the devil and you want to be
doing the desires [of your] father. That [one]
was murderer from the beginning, and he has
not stood in the truth, because truth is not
in him. When he speaks the "lie", he speaks
from his own [self], because he is [a] liar
and his father [also]. 45 But because I tell
you the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Who among you
convicts me of sin? If I say [the] truth, why
do you not believe me? 47 The [one] being
from God hears the words of God;
because of this you do not hear
[me],
because you are not from God. HIS
SHEEP
HEAR HIS VOICE John 10 1
Truly truly I say
to you, the [one] not coming in through the gate
into the sheep-pen but coming up from elsewhere,
that [one] is [a] thief and [a] robber. 2
But the [one]
coming in through the gate is [the] shepherd of
the sheep. 3 The
gatekeeper opens [the gate] to this [one], and the
sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name,
and he leads them out. 4 When he has brought out
all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep
follow him, because they know his voice. 5
They will not
follow [the voice belonging] to [a] stranger, but
will flee from him, because they do not know the
voice of strangers. 6 Jesus told them this
parable; but these [ones] did not know what it was
that he was speaking to them. 7 So Jesus said again, Truly
truly I say to you that I am the gate of the
sheep. 8 All
who came before me are thieves and robbers.
But the sheep have not heard them. 9
I am the gate.
If anyone enter through me, he will be saved,
and he will come in and will go out and will
find pasture. 10 The
thief does not come except in order that he
steal and slaughter and destroy ; I came in order
that they have zoe-life and have [it]
exceedingly. 11 I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd appoints his
psyche-life in behalf of the
sheep. 12 But
the hired-hand also not being shepherd, of
whom the sheep are not his own, he sees the
wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees -
and the wolf seizes them and scatters [them] -
13
[he flees] because he is [a] hired-hand and
the sheep are not [a] concern to him. 14
I am the good
shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, 15 just as the father
knows me, and I know the father, and I
lay-down my psyche-life in behalf of the
sheep. 16 And
I have other sheep that are not of this
sheep-pen, and I must lead [these], and they
will hear
my voice, and
they will become one flock, one shepherd. 17 Because
of this the father agape-loves me, because I
lay-down my psyche-life, in order that I
again receive it. 18 No one takes it
from me, but I dedicate it myself. I have
authority to dedicate it, and I have authority
to again receive it; this commandment I
received from my father.19
[A] division again
came to pass among the Jews because of these
words. 20
And many among them were saying, He has [a] demon
and is insane; why do you hear him? 21
Others were saying,
These words are not [those] of [one]
demon-possessed. Is [a] demon able to open [the]
eyes of [the] blind ? 22 The Festival of
Rededication then came to pass in JESUS
THANKS
THE FATHER FOR ALWAYS HEARING HIM John 11 40 Jesus says to her: Did
I not say to you that: If you believe, you will
see the glory of God? 41 So they removed the
stone. Now Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father,
I thank you that you heard me. 42
For I have
known that you always hear me, but because of
the crowd standing around I spoke, in order
that they believe that you have sent me.
43
And having said
these [things] he cried out with [a] great voice:
Lazarus! Come out!
44 And
the [one] having been dead came out, his feet and
hands having been bound with bandages, and his
face was bound with [a] handkerchief. Jesus says
to them, Loose him and let him
be going. WARNING
TO
THOSE WHO DO NOT HEAR AND GUARD THE WORD John 12 44
But Jesus cried out and said: The
[one] believing in me does not believe in me
but [rather] in the [one] having sent me, 45 and the [one]
beholding me beholds the [one] having sent me.
46
I am light come into the world, in order that
everyone believing in me not abide in
darkness. 47
And if anyone hear
my words
and not guard [them], I do not judge him, for
I came not in order that I judge the world,
but in order that I save the world. 48 The [one] setting
me aside and not receiving my words has [one]
judging him: the word that I spoke - that will
judge him in the last day. 49 Because I have not
spoken from myself, but the [one] having sent
me, [the] father himself has given to me
commandment what I should say and what I
should speak. 50 And I know that
his commandment is eternal
zoe-life. What therefore I
speak, just as the father has spoken to me,
thusly I speak. THE
WORD
YOU HEAR IS FROM THE FATHER John 14 24 The [one] not
agape-loving me does not keep to my words. And the
word that you hear is not mine but of the father
having sent me. 25
These [things] have I spoken while dwelling with
you. 26
But the advocate, the Holy Spirit,
which the father will send in my name, that [one]
will teach you everything and will remind you of
everything which I spoke to you. 27 Peace I leave you, my
peace I give you, not just as the world gives do I
give to you. Let your heart not be being
troubled, neither let it be being cowardly.
28 You heard
what I said to you: I go, and come [back] to you.
If you were agape-loving me, you would have
rejoiced that I go to the father, because the
father is greater than I. YOU
ARE
PHILIA-BELOVED John 15 15
No longer do I say you
[are] slaves, because the slave does not know what
his lord does; but I have called you philia-beloved,
because everything that I heard
from my father I made known to you. REGARDING
THE
HOLY SPIRIT John 16 12 I
have yet many [things] to be telling you, but you
are not now able to be bearing [them]. 13
But when that [one] comes, the spirit of truth, he
will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak
from himself, but as much as he hears
will he speak, and the coming [things] will he
disclose to you. JESUS
RESPONDS
TO BEING QUESTIONED John 18 19 The chief-priest
therefore asked Jesus concerning his disciples and
his teaching.20 Jesus answered him: I
have openly spoken to the world. I always
taught in the synagogue and in the temple,
where the Jews all gather, and I spoke nothing
in secret. 21 Why
do you ask me? Ask those
having heard what I spoke to
them. Behold these know what I said to them. THOSE
ON
THE SIDE OF TRUTH HEAR HIS VOICE John 18 37 Pilate therefore said to him: So are you [a] king? Jesus answered: You say that I am king. I am born for this and am come into the world for this, in order that I witness to the truth. All those being from the truth hear my voice. Pilate says to him: What is truth? |
