Thematic Bible




These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Render them holy in thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou sentest me into the world, I also sent them into the world. And for them I render myself holy, that they also be rendered holy in the truth; And I ask not for these alone, but also for them believing in me through their word; That all might be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that they also be one in us; that the world might believe that thou sentest me. And I, the honour which thou hast given me, have-given them; that they might be one, as we are one. I in them, and thou in me, that they might be perfected in one: and that the world might know that thou sentest me, and lovedst them, as thou lovedst me. O Father, those thou hast given me, I will that where I am these also be with me: that they might behold my glory, which thou gavest me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O just Father, the world knew thee not: but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me. And I made known to them thy name, and I will make known: that the love with which thou lovedst me might be in them, and I in them.

Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our stay with him. He not loving me will not keep my words.: and the word which ye hear is not of me, but of the Father having sent me. These have I spoken to you, remaining with you. read more.
But the Intercessor, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, the same shall teach you all things, and he shall remind you of all things which I spake to you. Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be timid. Ye have heard that I said to you, I retire, and I am coming to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now have I told you before it shall be, that when it should be, ye might believe. I will no more speak much with you: for the ruler of this world comes, and has nothing in me. But that the world might know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise ye, let us go thence.


Then said Jesus again to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, That I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not. I am the door: if any come in through me, he shall be saved, and he shall me in, and go out, and find pasture. read more.
The thief comes not, except that he steal, and sacrifice, and destroy: I came that they might have life, and have above measure. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. But the hired one, and not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and he leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf plunders them, and scatters the sheep. The hired flees, because he is hired, and no care is to him for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine, and am known by mine. As the Father knows me, I also know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd. Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love.
