Gospel

The Greek word “Believe” (4100) occurs 98 times in the gospel of John. Read through the passages and ask God to speak to you through His Word.

John 1:7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God–

John 1:50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that.”

John 2:11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

John 2:22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

John 2:23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name.

John 2:24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.

John 3:12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

John 3:15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”

John 4:21 Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

John 4:39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

John 4:41 And because of his words many more became believers.

John 4:42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

John 4:48 “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

John 4:50 Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

John 4:53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and all his household believed.

John 5:24 “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

John 5:38 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent.

John 5:44 How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?

John 5:46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

John 5:47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

John 6:29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

John 6:30 So they asked him, “What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?

John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.

John 6:40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:47 I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.

John 6:64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.

John 6:69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”

John 7:5  For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

John 7:31 Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?”

John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

John 7:39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

John 7:48 “Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

John 8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am, you will indeed die in your sins.”

John 8:30 Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him.

John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

John 8:45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!

John 8:46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?

John 9:18 The Jews still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.

John 9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

John 9:36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”

John 9:38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

John 10:25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me,

John 10:26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.

John 10:37 Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.

John 10:38 But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

John 10:42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.

John 11:15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;

John 11:26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

John 11:27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

John 11:40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

John 11:42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

John 11:45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.

John 11:48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

John 12:11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and putting their faith in him.

John 12:36 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.

John 12:37 Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.

John 12:38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

John 12:39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:

John 12:42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;

John 12:44 Then Jesus cried out, “When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.

John 12:46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

John 12:47 “As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.

John 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

John 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

John 14:29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

John 16:9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

John 16:27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

John 16:30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”

John 16:31 “You believe at last!” Jesus answered.

John 17:8  For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

John 17:20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

John 17:21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

John 19:35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.

John 20:8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.

John 20:25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.”

John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

John 20:31 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
