Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Do not be
amazed at this,
for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
And shall come
forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation.
and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
He was a burning and a
shining light: and ye were willing
for a season to
rejoice in his light.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing
for a season to
bask in his light.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John.
For the works that the Father has given Me to
accomplish—the very works I am doing—
testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
And the Father who sent Me has Himself
testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His
form,
And ye have not his word
abiding in you:
for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
nor does His word
abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which
testify of me.
You
pore over the Scriptures because you
presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that
testify about Me,
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we
buy bread, that these may eat?
When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we
buy bread
for these people to eat?”
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
Philip answered him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Philip answered, “Two hundred
denarii would not
buy enough bread
for each of them to have a small piece.”
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
Then Jesus,
realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by
force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking
for Jesus.
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to
Capernaum to look
for Him.
Jesus answered them and said,
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the
loaves, and were filled.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking
for Me, but because you
ate the
loaves and had your fill.
Labour not
for the meat which perisheth, but
for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you:
for him hath God the Father sealed.
Do not work
for food that perishes, but
for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of
approval.”
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have
everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
For it is My Father’s will that
everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If
anyone eats of this bread, he will live
forever. And this bread, which I will give
for the life of the world, is My flesh.”
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat
manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live
for ever.
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who
ate the
manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live
forever.”
But there are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should
betray him.
However, there are some of you who do not believe.” (
For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would
betray Him.)
He spake of
Judas Iscariot the son of Simon:
for he it was that should
betray him, being one of the twelve.
He was speaking about
Judas, the son of Simon
Iscariot.
For although
Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to
betray Jesus.
After these things Jesus walked in
Galilee:
for he would not walk in
Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
After this, Jesus traveled throughout
Galilee. He did not want to travel in
Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,
shew thyself to the world.
For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show
Yourself to the world.”
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
And there was much
murmuring among the people concerning him:
for some said, He is a good man: others said,
Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
Many in the crowds were
whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
Howbeit no man spake openly of him
for fear of the Jews.
Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
If a man on the sabbath day receive
circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye
angry at me, because I have made a man every
whit whole on the sabbath day?
If a boy can be
circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you
angry with Me
for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)
He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.
For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been
glorified.
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of
Galilee? Search, and look:
for out of
Galilee ariseth no prophet.
“Aren’t you also from
Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of
Galilee.”
This they said,
tempting him, that they might have to
accuse him. But Jesus
stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis
for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true:
for I know whence I came, and
whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and
whither I go.
Jesus replied, “Even if I
testify about Myself, My testimony is
valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins:
whither I go, ye cannot come.
Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it
forever.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God.
You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not
illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a
liar, and the father of it.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to
uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a
liar and the father of lies.
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and
begged?
At this, his neighbors and those who had
formerly seen him
begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and
beg?”
Therefore said some of the
Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a
sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Because of this, some of the
Pharisees said, “This man is not from God,
for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
But by what means he now
seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak
for himself.
But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did
confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue.
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews.
For the Jews had already determined that
anyone who
confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the
synagogue.
Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a
sinner.
So a second time they called
for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a
sinner.”
We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
The gatekeeper opens the gate
for him, and the sheep
listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on
ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will
flee from him:
for they know not the voice of strangers.
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will
flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”
Then said Jesus unto them again,
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
The
thief cometh not, but
for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The
thief comes only to
steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
The man runs away because he is a
hired servant and is unconcerned
for the sheep.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
But Jesus
responded, “I have shown you many good works from the Father.
For which of these do you stone Me?”
The Jews answered him, saying,
For a good work we stone thee not; but
for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest
thyself God.
“We are not stoning You
for any good work,” said the Jews, “but
for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare
Yourself to be God.”
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath
sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
then what about the One whom the Father
sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you
accuse Me of
blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but
for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby.
When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is
for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be
glorified through it.”
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
So on hearing that
Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was
for two days,
And I am
glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
and
for your sake I am
glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
After
Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking
for you.”
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone.
Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been dead four days.
“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said
Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
And when he thus had spoken, he
cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come
forth.
After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “
Lazarus, come out!”
And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with
graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a
napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face
wrapped in a cloth. “
Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
Then gathered the chief priests and the
Pharisees a council, and said, What do we?
for this man doeth many miracles.
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
You do not
realize that it is better
for you that one man die
for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he
prophesied that Jesus should die
for that nation;
Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was
prophesying that Jesus would die
for the nation,
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
So from that day on they
plotted to kill Him.
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
There they made him a
supper; and
Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
Why was not this
ointment sold
for three hundred
pence, and given to the poor?
“Why wasn’t this
perfume sold
for three hundred
denarii and the money given to the poor?”
This he said, not that he cared
for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and had the
bag, and bare what was put therein.
Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a
thief. As keeper of the money
bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my
burying hath she kept this.
“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this
perfume in preparation
for the day of My burial.
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not
for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see
Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see
Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
Took branches of palm trees, and went
forth to meet him, and
cried,
Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
They took palm branches and went out to meet Him,
shouting: “
Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
For this cause the people also met him,
for that they heard that he had done this
miracle.
That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be
glorified.
But Jesus replied, “The hour has come
for the Son of Man to be
glorified.
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth
forth much fruit.
Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a
kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Whoever loves his life will lose it, but
whoever hates his life in this world will keep it
for eternal life.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
In
response, Jesus said, “This voice was not
for My benefit, but yours.
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain
forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not
whither he goeth.
Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
