Joshua
23, 24
Jos
23:1 It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to
Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well
advanced in years,
Jos
23:2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for
their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to
them, "I am old and well advanced in years.
Jos
23:3 You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these
nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for
you.
Jos
23:4 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be
an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations
that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of
the sun.
Jos
23:5 Yahweh your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive
them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as Yahweh
your God spoke to you.
Jos
23:6 Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is
written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from
it to the right hand or to the left;
Jos
23:7 that you not come among these nations, these that remain among
you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to
swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
Jos
23:8 but hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
Jos
23:9 For Yahweh has driven great and strong nations out from before
you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
Jos
23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your
God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
Jos
23:11 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh
your God.
Jos
23:12 Else if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of
these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages
with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
Jos
23:13 know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive
these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a
trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until
you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given
you.
Jos
23:14 Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in
all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed
of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you.
All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
Jos
23:15 It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you
of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so Yahweh will bring on you
all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good
land which Yahweh your God has given you,
Jos
23:16 when you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he
commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves
to them. Then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and
you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to
you."
Jos
24:1 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called
for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for
their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Jos
24:2 Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says Yahweh, the God
of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even
Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they
served other gods.
Jos
24:3 I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him
throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave
him Isaac.
Jos
24:4 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir,
to possess it. Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Jos
24:5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that
which I did in its midst: and afterward I brought you out.
Jos
24:6 I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea.
The Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with
horsemen to the Red Sea.
Jos
24:7 When they cried out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and
the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and
your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness
many days.
Jos
24:8 I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond
the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand.
You possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Jos
24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought
against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse
you;
Jos
24:10 but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you
still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
Jos
24:11 You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of
Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the
Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
and I delivered them into your hand.
Jos
24:12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before
you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor
with your bow.
Jos
24:13 I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities
which you didn't build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards
and olive groves which you didn't plant.'
Jos
24:14 Now therefore fear Yahweh, and serve him in sincerity and in
truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River,
in Egypt; and serve Yahweh.
Jos
24:15 If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom
you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were
beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you
dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."
Jos
24:16 The people answered, "Far be it from us that we should
forsake Yahweh, to serve other gods;
Jos
24:17 for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our fathers up out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those
great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we
went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.
Jos
24:18 Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the
Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve Yahweh;
for he is our God."
Jos
24:19 Joshua said to the people, "You can't serve Yahweh; for
he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your
disobedience nor your sins.
Jos
24:20 If you forsake Yahweh, and serve foreign gods, then he will
turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good."
Jos
24:21 The people said to Joshua, "No; but we will serve
Yahweh."
Jos
24:22 Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against
yourselves that you have chosen Yahweh yourselves, to serve him."
They said, "We are witnesses."
Jos
24:23 "Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among
you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel."
Jos
24:24 The people said to Joshua, "We will serve Yahweh our God,
and we will listen to his voice."
Jos
24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made
for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Jos
24:26 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he
took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the
sanctuary of Yahweh.
Jos
24:27 Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall
be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh
which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you,
lest you deny your God."
Jos
24:28 So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
Jos
24:29 It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
Jos
24:30 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in
Timnathserah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north
of the mountain of Gaash.
Jos
24:31 Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days
of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of
Yahweh, that he had worked for Israel.
Jos
24:32 They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel
brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which
Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred
pieces of money. They became the inheritance of the children of
Joseph.
Jos
24:33 Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of
Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
Judges
1, 2
Jdg
1:1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel
asked of Yahweh, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the
Canaanites, to fight against them?
Jdg
1:2 Yahweh said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the
land into his hand.
Jdg
1:3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot,
that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with
you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
Jdg
1:4 Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten
thousand men.
Jdg
1:5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him,
and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Jdg
1:6 But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught
him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Jdg
1:7 Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and
their great toes cut off, gathered their
food under my table: as I have done, so
God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died
there.
Jdg
1:8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and
struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Jdg
1:9 Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the
Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in
the lowland.
Jdg
1:10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the
name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai.
Jdg
1:11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the
name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)
Jdg
1:12 Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Jdg
1:13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and
he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Jdg
1:14 It happened, when she came to him,
that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted
from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What would you like?
Jdg
1:15 She said to him, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me
in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. Caleb gave
her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Jdg
1:16 The children of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out
of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the
wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and
lived with the people.
Jdg
1:17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the
Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name
of the city was called Hormah.
Jdg
1:18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its
border, and Ekron with its border.
Jdg
1:19 Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the
inhabitants of the hill country; for he
could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had
chariots of iron.
Jdg
1:20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove
out there the three sons of Anak.
Jdg
1:21 The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who
inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of
Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Jdg
1:22 The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and
Yahweh was with them.
Jdg
1:23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of
the city before was Luz.)
Jdg
1:24 The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they
said to him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we
will deal kindly with you.
Jdg
1:25 He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the
city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his
family.
Jdg
1:26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city,
and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Jdg
1:27 Manasseh did not drive out the
inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns,
nor of
Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor
the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of
Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Jdg
1:28 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the
Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Jdg
1:29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but
the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
Jdg
1:30 Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the
inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and
became subject to forced labor.
Jdg
1:31 Asher didn't drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the
inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor
of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Jdg
1:32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants
of the land; for they did not drive them out.
Jdg
1:33 Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor
the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the
inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh
and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
Jdg
1:34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country;
for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Jdg
1:35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in
Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they
became subject to forced labor.
Jdg
1:36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim,
from the rock, and upward.
Jdg
2:1 The angel of Yahweh came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, I
made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land
which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my
covenant with you:
Jdg
2:2 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this
land; you shall break down their altars. But you have not listened to
my voice: why have you done this?
Jdg
2:3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before
you; but they shall be as thorns
in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
Jdg
2:4 It happened, when the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all
the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and
wept.
Jdg
2:5 They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed
there to Yahweh.
Jdg
2:6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel
went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
Jdg
2:7 The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the
days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great
work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
Jdg
2:8 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one
hundred ten years old.
Jdg
2:9 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath
Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain
of Gaash.
Jdg
2:10 Also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and
there arose another generation after them, who didn't know Yahweh,
nor yet the work which he had worked for Israel.
Jdg
2:11 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of
Yahweh, and served the Baals;
Jdg
2:12 and they forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought
them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods
of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to
them: and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
Jdg
2:13 They forsook Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Jdg
2:14 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he
delivered them into the hands of spoilers who despoiled them; and he
sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they
could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Jdg
2:15 Wherever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them for
evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them: and they
were sore distressed.
Jdg
2:16 Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of
those who despoiled them.
Jdg
2:17 Yet they didn't listen to their judges; for they played the
prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they
turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked,
obeying the commandments of Yahweh; but
they didn't do so.
Jdg
2:18 When Yahweh raised them up judges, then Yahweh was with the
judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days
of the judge: for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by
reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
Jdg
2:19 But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned
back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other
gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they didn't cease from
their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Jdg
2:20 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel; and he said,
Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded
their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;
Jdg
2:21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of
the nations that Joshua left when he died;
Jdg
2:22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way
of Yahweh to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
Jdg
2:23 So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily;
neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

John 3
Joh 3:1
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
Jews.
Joh 3:2
The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know
that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs
that you do, unless God is with him."
Joh 3:3
Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is
born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God."
Joh 3:4
Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
Joh 3:5
Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born
of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
Joh 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7
Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
Joh 3:8
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don't
know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is
born of the Spirit."
Joh 3:9
Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?"
Joh
3:10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and
don't understand these things?
Joh
3:11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and
testify of that which we have seen, and you don't receive our
witness.
Joh
3:12 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will
you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Joh
3:13 No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of
heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
Joh
3:14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up,
Joh
3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
Joh
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
Joh
3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world,
but that the world should be saved through him.
Joh
3:18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe
has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of
the one and only Son of God.
Joh
3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world,
and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works
were evil.
Joh
3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to
the light, lest his works would be exposed.
Joh
3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works
may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
Joh
3:22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land
of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized.
Joh
3:23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was
much water there. They came, and were baptized.
Joh
3:24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
Joh
3:25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's
disciples with some Jews about purification.
Joh
3:26 They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was
with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the
same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him."
Joh
3:27 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has
been given him from heaven.
Joh
3:28 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but,
'I have been sent before him.'
Joh
3:29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the
bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.
Joh
3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Joh
3:31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the Earth
belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from
heaven is above all.
Joh
3:32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one
receives his witness.
Joh
3:33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that
God is true.
Joh
3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives
the Spirit without measure.
Joh
3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his
hand.
Joh
3:36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who
disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on
him."
John 4
Joh 4:1
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus
was making and baptizing more disciples than John
Joh 4:2
(although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),
Joh 4:3
he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
Joh 4:4
He needed to pass through Samaria.
Joh 4:5
So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
Joh 4:6
Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his
journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Joh 4:7
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give
me a drink."
Joh 4:8
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Joh 4:9
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you,
being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For
Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Joh
4:10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who
it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him,
and he would have given you living water."
Joh
4:11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw
with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living
water?
Joh
4:12 Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well,
and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
Joh
4:13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water
will thirst again,
Joh
4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never
thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a
well of water springing up to eternal life."
Joh
4:15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I
don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
Joh
4:16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
Joh
4:17 The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said
to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
Joh
4:18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not
your husband. This you have said truly."
Joh
4:19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a
prophet.
Joh
4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that
in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
Joh
4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes,
when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the
Father.
Joh
4:22 You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we
know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Joh
4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will
worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to
be his worshippers.
Joh
4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit
and truth."
Joh
4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes,"
(he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to
us all things."
Joh
4:26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
Joh
4:27 At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking
with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?"
or, "Why do you speak with her?"
Joh
4:28 So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city,
and said to the people,
Joh
4:29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can
this be the Christ?"
Joh
4:30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
Joh
4:31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi,
eat."
Joh
4:32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't
know about."
Joh
4:33 The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone
brought him something to eat?"
Joh
4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who
sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Joh
4:35 Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?'
Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that
they are white for harvest already.
Joh
4:36 He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life;
that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
Joh
4:37 For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
Joh
4:38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others
have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
Joh
4:39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because
of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything
that I did."
Joh
4:40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay
with them. He stayed there two days.
Joh
4:41 Many more believed because of his word.
Joh
4:42 They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of
your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is
indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
Joh
4:43 After the two days he went out from there and went into
Galilee.
Joh
4:44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his
own country.
Joh
4:45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him,
having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for
they also went to the feast.
Joh
4:46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made
the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick
at Capernaum.
Joh
4:47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he
went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son,
for he was at the point of death.
Joh
4:48 Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and
wonders, you will in no way believe."
Joh
4:49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child
dies."
Joh
4:50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The
man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Joh
4:51 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported,
saying "Your child lives!"
Joh
4:52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better.
They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the
fever left him."
Joh
4:53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said
to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole
house.
Joh
4:54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out
of Judea into Galilee.
