52 Week Bible Reading Plan

John 5

1

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

2

and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

3

in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

4

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

5

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

6

him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?'

7

The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

8

Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

9

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

10

the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

11

He answered them, `He who made me whole -- that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'

12

they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

13

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

14

After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

15

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

16

and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

17

And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

18

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

19

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

20

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

21

`For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

22

for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

23

that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

24

`Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

25

`Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

26

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

27

and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

28

`Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

30

`I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

31

`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

32

another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

33

ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

34

`But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

35

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

36

`But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

37

`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

38

and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

39

`Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

40

and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

41

glory from man I do not receive,

42

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

43

`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

44

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

45

`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped;

46

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

47

but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'

John 6

1

After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

2

and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

3

and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

4

and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

5

Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' --

6

and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

7

Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

8

one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

9

`There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?'

10

And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

11

and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

12

And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'

13

they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

14

The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'

15

Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

16

And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

17

and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

18

the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised,

19

having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

20

and he saith to them, `I am [he], be not afraid;'

21

they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

22

On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

23

(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

24

when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

25

and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

26

Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

27

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- [even] God.'

28

They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?'

29

Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

30

They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

31

our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

32

Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

33

for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

34

They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.'

35

And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

36

but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

37

all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

38

because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

39

`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

40

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

41

The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

42

and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?'

43

Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

44

no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

45

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

46

not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father.

47

`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

48

I am the bread of the life;

49

your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

50

this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

51

`I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

52

The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?'

53

Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

54

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

55

for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

56

he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

57

`According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me;

58

this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.'

59

These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

60

many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

61

And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

62

if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

63

the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

64

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

65

and he said, `Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.'

66

From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

67

Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?'

68

Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

69

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

70

Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you -- the twelve? and of you -- one is a devil.

71

And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.
