Jesus Walks on Water John 6:16-21 // Matt 14:22-33 // Mark 6:45-52
16That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.17But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum.18Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough.19They had rowed three or four …
1After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias.2A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick.3Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him.4(It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration.)5Jesus soon …
Witnesses to Jesus
31“If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid.32But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure you that everything he says about me is true.33In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true.34Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but …
25“And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.26The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.27And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.28Don’t …
Jesus Claims to Be the Son of God
16So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules.17But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”18So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
19So …
Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath
1Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days.2Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches.3Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches.5One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years.6When Jesus saw him and knew he had …
Jesus Heals a Government Official’s Son
43At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee.44He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown.45Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.
46As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had …
Many Samaritans Believe
39Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”40When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days,41long enough for many more to hear his message and believe.42Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just …
31Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32But Jesus replied, “I have a kind of food you know nothing about.”
33“Did someone bring him food while we were gone?” the disciples asked each other.
34Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.35You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and …
19“Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet.20So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?”
21Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in …
