nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'

and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

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,

Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

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;'

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

Jesus saith to him, 'He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

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.

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;

having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

Simon Peter saith to him, 'Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

Peter saith to him, 'Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Jesus answered him, 'Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

Thomas saith to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'

Jesus saith to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

Jesus saith to him, 'So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

'I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?'

he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

'Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

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.

'I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

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;

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to 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.

if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

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

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

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;

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear them now;

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;

a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

they said then, 'What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

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;

'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

'Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

'And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

'Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

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?'

Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, 'Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, 'I am not;'

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.'

One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'

Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

Pilate, therefore, saith to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'

Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

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.

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 having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

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

and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.
