| 13 And the Jews' passover was at
hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 14 And found in the temple those
that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves,
and the changers of money, sitting: |
| 15 And when he had made a
scourge of small cords, he drove them
all out of the temple, and the sheep,
and the oxen; and poured out the
changers' money, and overthrew the
tables; |
| 16 And said unto them that sold
doves, Take these things hence:
make not my Father's house an house
of merchandise. |
| 17 And his disciples remembered
that it was written,[115] The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up. |
| 18 Then answered the Jews, and
said unto him, What sign shewest
thou unto us, seeing that thou dost
these things? |
| 19 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up. |
| 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and
six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days? |
| 21 But he spake of the temple of
his body. |
| 22 When therefore he was risen
from the dead, his disciples remembered
that he had said this unto them:
and they believed the scripture, and
the word which Jesus had said. |
| 23 Now, when he was in Jerusalem
at the passover, in the feast-day,
many believed in his name, when they
saw the miracles which he did. |
| 24 But Jesus did not commit himself
unto them, because he knew all
men. |
| 25 And needed not that any should
testify of man: for he knew what was
in man. |
| John. |
| CH. III. 1-21. |
| There was a man of the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
Jews: |
| 2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto him, Rabbi, we know
that thou art a teacher come from
God: for no man can do these miracles
that thou doest, except God be
with him. |
| 3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born again, he cannot see
the kingdom of God. |
| 4 Nicodemus saith unto 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, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born
of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot
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 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again. |
| 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth: so is every
one that is born of the Spirit. |
| 9 Nicodemus answered and said
unto him, How can these things be? |
| 10 Jesus answered and said unto
him, Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these things? |
| 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
We speak that we do know, and testify
that we have seen; and ye receive
not our witness. |
| 12 If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not, how shall ye believe
if I tell you of heavenly things? |
| 13 And no man hath ascended up
to heaven, but he that came down from
heaven, even the Son of man which is
in heaven. |
| 14 And as[116] Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of man be lifted up: |
| 15 That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life. |
| 16 For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him, should
not perish, but have everlasting life. |
| 17 For God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world, but
that the world through him might be
saved. |
| 18 He that believeth on him, is not
condemned: but he that believeth not,
is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. |
| 19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. |
| 20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved. |
| 21 But he that doeth truth, cometh
to the light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought
in God. |

| CH. III. 22-36. |
| 22 After these things came Jesus
and his disciples into the land of
Judea; and there he tarried with them,
and baptized. |
| 23 And John also was baptizing in
Ænon, near to Salim, because there
was much water there: and they
came, and were baptized. |
| 24 For John was not yet cast into
prison. |
| 25 Then there arose a question between
some of John's disciples and the
Jews, about purifying. |
| 26 And they came unto John and
said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
with thee beyond Jordan, to whom
thou bearest witness, behold, the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him. |
| 27 John answered and said, A man
can receive nothing, except it be given
him from heaven. |
| 28 Ye yourselves bear me witness,
that I said, I am not the Christ, but
that I am sent before him. |
| 29 He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth
him, rejoiceth greatly, because of
the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled. |
| 30 He must increase, but I must
decrease. |
| 31 He that cometh from above, is
above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he
that cometh from heaven is above all. |
| 32 And what he hath seen, and
heard, that he testifieth; and no man
receiveth his testimony. |
| 33 He that hath received his testimony,
hath set to his seal that God is
true. |
| 34 For he whom God hath sent,
speaketh the words of God: for God
giveth not the Spirit by measure unto
him. |
| 35 The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand. |
| 36 He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son, shall not see
life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him. |

| 12 Now, when Jesus had heard that
John was cast into prison, he departed
into Galilee. | 14 Now, after that John was put in
prison, Jesus came into Galilee. |
| CH. XIV. 3-5. | CH. VI. 17-20. |
| 3 For Herod had laid hold on John,
and bound him, and put him in prison
for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's
wife. | 17 For Herod himself had sent
forth and laid hold upon John, and
bound him in prison for Herodias'
sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he
had married her. |
| 4 For John said unto him, It is not
lawful for thee to have her. | 18 For John had said unto Herod,
It is not lawful for thee to have thy
brother's wife. |
| 5 And when he would have put him
to death, he feared the multitude, because
they counted him as a prophet. | 19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed
him; but she could not: |
| 20 For Herod feared John, knowing
that he was a just man and an holy,
and observed him: and when he heard
him, he did many things, and heard
him gladly. |

| When therefore the Lord knew
how the Pharisees had heard that
Jesus made and baptized more disciples
than John, |
| 2 (Though Jesus himself baptized
not, but his disciples,) |
| 14 And Jesus returned in the power
of the Spirit into Galilee: | 3 He left Judea, and departed again
into Galilee. |
| CH. III. 19, 20. | |
| 19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved
by him for Herodias his brother
Philip's wife, and for all the evils
which Herod had done, | |
| 20 Added yet this above all, that he
shut up John in prison. | |
