But when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed over for two days in the place where He was.

but if he travels in the nighttime, he does stumble, because he has no light."

He said this, and after that He added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

But Jesus had spoken about his death. However, they supposed that He was referring to falling into a natural sleep.

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there so that you may come to have real faith in me. But let us go to him."

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.

But even now I know that whatever you ask God for He will give you."

for He had not yet come into the village, but He was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who made that blind man see, have kept Lazarus from dying?"

yes, I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the crowd that is standing by, that they may come to believe that you have sent me."

but some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing about this;

Now he did not say this on his own authority, but because he was high priest that year he uttered this prophecy from God, that Jesus was to die for the nation,

and not only for the nation, but also to unite the scattered children of God.

It was for this reason that Jesus no more appeared in public among the Jews, but He left that part of the country and went to the district near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with His disciples.

So they gave a dinner there in honor of Jesus, and Martha was waiting on them, but Lazarus was one of the guests with Jesus.

But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was going to betray Him, said,

He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and as the carrier of the purse for the Twelve he was in the habit of taking what was put into it.

for you always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."

A goodly number of the Jews learned that He was at Bethany, and so they came there, not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

But the high priests planned to kill Lazarus,

His disciples at the time did not understand this, but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that this had been written about Him and that they had fulfilled it in His case.

I most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains a single grain. But if it does die, it yields a great harvest.

Whoever loves his lower life will lose the higher, but whoever hates his lower life in this world preserves the higher for eternal life.

Jesus answered, "This voice did not come for my sake, but for yours.

And yet in spite of all this, even among the leading men many came to believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not own it, for fear of being turned out of the synagogue,

But Jesus cried aloud, "Whoever believes in me believes not merely in me but in Him who has sent me;

If anyone hears my words and fails to keep them, it is not I that judge him, for I have not come to judge but to save the world.

This is because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who has sent me has given me orders Himself what to say and what to tell.

Jesus answered him, "You do not now understand what I am doing, but by-and-by you will learn."

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, do not stop with my feet, then, but wash my hands and face too!"

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has taken a bath has no need of washing anything but his feet, but he is clean all over. And you are now clean, though not all of you are."

I do not mean all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but I know that the Scriptures must be fulfilled: 'The man who is eating my bread has lifted his heel against me.'

The disciples kept looking at one another, but were at a loss to know which one He meant.

But no one else at the table knew what He meant by this,

Dear children, I am to be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, but, as I told the Jews, so I now tell you, you cannot just now go where I am going.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "I am going where you cannot follow me just now, but you will later follow me."

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and that the Father is in union with me? I am not saying these things on my own authority, but the Father who always remains in union with me is doing these things Himself.

In just a little while the world will not see me any more, but you will be seeing me. Because I am to live on, you too will live on.

Whoever does not really love me does not observe my teaching; and yet the teaching which you are listening to is not mine but comes from the Father who has sent me.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send to represent me, will teach you everything Himself, and cause you to remember everything that I have told you.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what the Father has ordered me to do. Get up and let us go away."

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what is its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, that the world hates you.

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done things among them that no one else has ever done, they would not be guilty of sin. But now the fact is, they have seen and even hated both my Father and me.

But this is so that the saying written in their law may be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a cause.'

But I have told you these things that when the time does come, you may remember that I told you. I did not tell you these things at the start, because I was with you.

But now I am going away to Him who has sent me, and not one of you is asking me where I am going,

but sorrow has taken complete possession of your hearts, because I have told you these things.

Yet it is nothing but the truth I now tell you, that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go away, the Helper will not come into close fellowship with you, but if I do go away, I will send Him to be in close fellowship with you.

"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot grasp it now.

But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into the whole truth, for He will not speak on His own authority but will tell what is told Him, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

I most solemnly say to you, you will weep and wail, but the world will be glad; you will grieve but your grief will be turned into gladness.

When a woman is in labor, she is in pain, for her time has come, but when the baby is born, she forgets her pain because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.

So you too are now in sorrow, but I am going to see you again, and then your hearts will be happy, and no one can rob you of your happiness.

Up to this time you have not asked for anything as bearers of my name, but now you must keep on asking, and you will receive, that your cup of joy may be full to the brim.

"I have told you these things in allegories, but a time is coming when I shall not do so any longer, but will plainly tell you about the Father.

I have told you these things, that you through union with me may have peace. In the world you have trouble, but be courageous! I have conquered the world."

"I have made your very self known to the men whom you have given me out of the world. At first they were yours, but now you have given them to me, and they have obeyed your message.

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world now, but only for those whom you have given me, because they are yours --

And now I am no longer to be in the world, but they are to stay on in the world, while I am going to be with you. Holy Father, keep them by the power which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil in it.

"I make this petition, not for them only, but for all who ever come to believe in me through their message,

but Peter stood outside before the door. So this other disciple, who was acquainted with the high priest, stepped out and spoke to the woman doorkeeper and brought Peter in.

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, on oath tell what it is, but if what I have said is true, why do you slap me?"

But Simon Peter still stood warming himself. So they said to him, "You too are not one of His disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "No, I am not."

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would have been fighting to keep me from being turned over to the Jews. But as a matter of fact, my kingdom does not come from such a source."

Then they all shouted back, "No! Not Him, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

and went back into the governor's palace and asked Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus made no answer.

Because of this Pilate kept on trying to set Him free, but the Jews shouted, "If you set Him free, you are no friend to the emperor. Anyone who claims to be a king is uttering treason against the emperor!"

But they shouted, "Kill Him! Kill Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Must I crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor!"

So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "You must not write, 'The king of the Jews,' but write, 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.'"

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, "They divided my clothes among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." Now this was what the soldiers did.

But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs,

but one of the soldiers thrust a lance into His side and blood and water at once flowed out.

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked permission of Pilate to remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate granted it. So he went and removed His body.

And they both kept running, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.

And he stooped down and peered in and saw the bandages lying on the ground, but he did not go in.

but the handkerchief which had been over His face was not lying with the bandages, but was folded up by itself in another place.

But Mary stood just outside the tomb and kept weeping. So, as she was weeping, she stooped down and peered into the tomb

On saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to me so, for I have not yet gone up to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

So the rest of the disciples kept saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger into them, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe it!"

Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and look at my hands, and take your hand and put it in my side, and stop being an unbeliever, but be a believer!"

But these have been recorded, in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life, as bearers of His name.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you too." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

I most solemnly say to you, when you were young, you used to put on your own belt and go where you pleased, but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will put a belt on you and you will go where you do not please to go."

So when Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "But, Lord, what about him?"

So the report got out among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; He said only, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you?"
