¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good.

And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.

And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. ¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many dwellings, and if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will take you along to myself, so that where I am, ye may be also. ⁴ And ye know where I go, and ye know the way. ⁵ Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou go. How can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also. And from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. ⁹ Jesus says to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and thou do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can thou say, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The sayings that I speak to you I speak not from myself, but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me. But if not, believe me because of the works themselves. ¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, that man will also do. And he will do greater than these, because I go to the Father. ¹³ And anything whatever ye may ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye will ask me anything in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, so that he may dwell with you into the age, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it does not see nor know it. But ye know it, because it dwells with you, and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphaned. I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more, but ye see me. Because I live, ye will also live. ²⁰ In that day ye will know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that man it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, and what has happened that thou are going to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make a dwelling with him. ²⁴ He who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you while remaining with you. ²⁶ But the helper, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly. ²⁸ Ye heard that I said to you, I go, and I come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced because I said I go to the Father, because my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, ye might believe. ³⁰ I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of the world comes. And he has nothing on me, ³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father. And as the Father commanded me, thus I do. Arise, let us go from here.

¹ I am the TRUE grapevine, and my Father is the farmer. ² Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he removes it. And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, so that it may bear more fruit. ³ Now ye are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. ⁴ Dwell in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it dwells in the grapevine, so neither ye, if ye do not dwell in me. ⁵ I am the grapevine, ye are the branches. He who dwells in me, and I in him, this man bears much fruit, because without me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any man does not dwell in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and are burned. ⁷ If ye dwell in me, and my sayings dwell in you, ye will ask whatever ye may want, and it will be done to you. ⁸ By this my Father is glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye will become my disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Dwell ye in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye will dwell in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and dwell in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you that my joy may dwell in you, and your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you. ¹⁶ Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and appointed you, so that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain, so that anything whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, he may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, so that ye may love each other.

¹¹ So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
