The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.

These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.

At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:

For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

I am come out from the Father, and came into the worlde: againe I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.

His disciples saide vnto him, Loe, nowe speakest thou plainely, and thou speakest no parable.

Nowe knowe wee that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should aske thee. By this we beleeue, that thou art come out from God.

Iesus answered them, Doe you beleeue nowe?

Beholde, the houre commeth, and is already come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man into his owne, and shall leaue me alone: but I am not alone: for the Father is with me.

These thinges haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace: in the world ye shall haue affliction, but be of good comfort: I haue ouercome the world.

These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,

As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him.

And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.

I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.

And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.

I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.

Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.

For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.

And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are.

While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

And now come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues.

I haue giuen them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keepe them from euill.

They are not of the worlde, as I am not of the world.

Sanctifie them with thy trueth: thy word is trueth.

As thou diddest send me into the world, so haue I sent them into the world.

And for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also may bee sanctified through the trueth.

I praie not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in mee, through their woorde,

That they all may bee one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: euen that they may be also one in vs, that the worlde may beleeue that thou hast sent me.

And the glory that thou gauest me, I haue giuen them, that they may be one, as we are one,

I in them, and thou in mee, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me.

Father, I will that they which thou hast giuen me, be with me euen where I am, that they may beholde that my glorie, which thou hast giuen mee: for thou louedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the worlde also hath not knowen thee, but I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.

And I haue declared vnto the thy Name, and will declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them.

When Iesus had spoken these things, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entred, and his disciples.

And Iudas which betraied him, knewe also the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples.

Iudas then, after hee had receiued a band of men and officers of the high Priests, and of the Pharises, came thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.

Then Iesus, knowing all things that shoulde come vnto him, went foorth and said vnto them, Whom seeke yee?

They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them, I am hee. Nowe Iudas also which betraied him, stoode with them.

Assoone then as hee had saide vnto them, I am hee, they went away backewardes, and fell to the grounde.

Then he asked them againe, Whome seeke yee? And they sayd, Iesus of Nazareth.

Iesus answered, I said vnto you, that I am he: therefore if ye seeke me, let these go their way.

This was that the worde might be fulfilled which hee spake, Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none.

Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the hie Priests seruant, and cut off his right eare. Nowe the seruants name was Malchus.

Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sworde into the sheath: shall I not drinke of the cuppe which my Father hath giuen me?

Then the bande and the captaine, and the officers of the Iewes tooke Iesus, and bound him,

And led him away to Annas first (for he was father in lawe to Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yeere)

And Caiaphas was he, that gaue counsel to the Iewes, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Nowe Simon Peter folowed Iesus, and another disciple, and that disciple was knowen of the hie Priest: therefore he went in with Iesus into the hall of the hie Priest:

But Peter stood at the doore without. Then went out the other disciple which was knowen vnto the hie Priest, and spake to her that kept the doore, and brought in Peter.

Then saide the maide that kept the doore, vnto Peter, Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He sayd, I am not.

And the seruants and officers stoode there, which had made a fire of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed themselues. And Peter also stood among them, and warmed himselfe.

(The hie Priest then asked Iesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world: I euer taught in the Synagogue and in the Temple, whither the Iewes resort continually, and in secret haue I sayde nothing.

Why askest thou mee? aske them which heard mee what I sayde vnto them: beholde, they knowe what I sayd.

When he had spoken these thinges, one of the officers which stoode by, smote Iesus with his rod, saying, Answerest thou the hie Priest so?

Iesus answered him, If I haue euill spoken, beare witnes of the euil: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me?

Nowe Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the hie Priest)

And Simon Peter stoode and warmed himselfe, and they said vnto him, Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

One of the seruaunts of the hie Priest, his cousin whose eare Peter smote off, saide, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

Peter then denied againe, and immediatly the cocke crewe.

Then led they Iesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Nowe it was morning, and they themselues went not into the common hall, least they should be defiled, but that they might eate the Passeouer.

Pilate then went out vnto them, and said, What accusation bring yee against this man?

They answered, and saide vnto him, If hee were not an euill doer, we woulde not haue deliuered him vnto thee.

Then sayde Pilate vnto them, Take yee him, and iudge him after your owne Lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death.

It was that the worde of Iesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

So Pilate entred into the common hall againe, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto him, Art thou the king of the Iewes?

Iesus answered him, Saiest thou that of thy selfe, or did other tell it thee of me?

Pilate answered, Am I a Iewe? Thine owne nation, and the hie Priestes haue deliuered thee vnto me. What hast thou done?

Iesus answered, My kingdome is not of this worlde: if my kingdome were of this worlde, my seruants would surely fight, that I should not be deliuered to the Iewes: but nowe is my kingdome not from hence.

Pilate then said vnto him, Art thou a King then? Iesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King: for this cause am I borne, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should beare witnes vnto the trueth: euery one that is of the trueth, heareth my voyce.

Pilate said vnto him, What is trueth? And when he had saide that, hee went out againe vnto the Iewes, and said vnto them, I finde in him no cause at all.

But you haue a custome, that I shoulde deliuer you one loose at the Passeouer: will yee then that I loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes?

Then cried they all againe, saying, Not him, but Barabbas: nowe this Barabbas was a murtherer.

Then Pilate tooke Iesus and scourged him.

And the souldiers platted a crowne of thornes, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple garment,

And saide, Haile, King of the Iewes. And they smote him with their roddes.

Then Pilate went foorth againe, and said vnto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may knowe, that I finde no fault in him at all.

Then came Iesus foorth wearing a crowne of thornes, and a purple garment. And Pilate said vnto them, Beholde the man.

Then when the hie Priests and officers sawe him, they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him. Pilate said vnto them, Take yee him and crucifie him: for I finde no fault in him.

The Iewes answered him, We haue a lawe, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himselfe the Sonne of God.

When Pilate then heard that woorde, he was the more afraide,

And went againe into the common hall, and saide vnto Iesus, Whence art thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere.

Then saide Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to loose thee?

Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therefore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne.

From thence foorth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Iewes cried, saying, If thou deliuer him, thou art not Cesars friende: for whosoeuer maketh himselfe a King, speaketh against Cesar.

When Pilate heard this woorde, hee brought Iesus foorth, and sate downe in the iudgement seate in a place called the Pauement, and in Hebrewe, Gabbatha.

And it was the Preparation of the Passeouer, and about the sixt houre: and hee sayde vnto the Iewes, Beholde your King.

But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate sayde vnto them, Shall I crucifie your King? The high Priestes answered, We haue no King but Cesar.

Then deliuered he him vnto them, to be crucified. And they tooke Iesus, and led him away.

And he bare his owne crosse, and came into a place named of dead mens Skulles, which is called in Hebrewe, Golgotha:

Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Iesus in the middes.

And Pilate wrote also a title, and put it on the crosse, and it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWES.

This title then read many of the Iewes: for the place where Iesus was crucified, was neere to the citie: and it was written in Hebrewe, Greeke and Latine.

Then saide the hie Priests of the Iewes to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Iewes, but that he sayd, I am King of the Iewes.

Pilate answered, What I haue written, I haue written.

Then the souldiers, when they had crucified Iesus, tooke his garments (and made foure partes, to euery souldier a part) and his coat: and the coat was without seame wouen from the toppe throughout.

Therefore they sayde one to another, Let vs not deuide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which sayth, They parted my garments among them, and on my coate did cast lots. So the souldiers did these things in deede.
