'May' in the Bible

because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,

And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.

And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

Peter saith to him, 'Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he;

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

And now I have said it to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

'These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- 'Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

'And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

'And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one;

I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away,

they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;'

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'

the other disciples, therefore, said to him, 'We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, 'If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.
