Because many for him retired, and believed in Jesus.

The morrow a great crowd, having come to the festival, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,

And Jesus having found a small ass, sat upon it; as it is written,

And these the disciples knew not at first: but when Jesus was honoured, then remembered they that these were written of him, and they did these things to him.

These then came to Philip, him of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we wish to see Jesus.

Philip comes and says to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip say to Jesus.

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man should be honoured.

Jesus answered and said, This voice has not been for me, but for you.

Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have light, lest darkness overtake you: and he walking in darkness knows not where he retires.

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye might be the sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and having departed, he was hid from them.

Jesus cried and said, He believing in me, believes not in me, but in him having sent me.

And before the feast of the pascha, Jesus knowing that his hour had come that he should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end.

Jesus knowing that the Father has given all things to him into the hands, and that he came out from God, and retired to God;

Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know after these.

Peter says to him, Thou shouldest never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me.

Jesus says to him, He washed has no need but to have the feet washed, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all.

These things Jesus having spoken, was troubled in spirit, and he testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

And there was one of his disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom he loved.

And he reclining upon Jesus' breast says to him, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answers, This is he to whom I, having dipped a small morsel, shall bestow. And having dipped the small morsel, he gives to Judas Iscariot, of Simon.

And after the small morsel then came Satan into him. Then says Jesus to him, What thou doest, do quickly.

For some thought, since Judas had the small coffer, that Jesus says to him, Purchase of what we have need for the festival; or, that he might give something to the poor.

Jesus says, Now was the Son of man honoured, and God was honoured in him.

Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where retirest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I retire, thou shalt not be able to follow me now; and afterwards thou shalt follow me.

Jesus answered, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me Truly, truly, I say to thee, The cock shall not utter a sound, till thou deny me thrice.

Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

Jesus says, to him, So long time am I with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he having seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?,

Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our stay with him.

Then knew Jesus that they wished to ask him, and he said to them, For this seek ye with one another that I said, A little while, and ye see me not; and again a little, and ye shall see me

Jesus answered them, Now do ye believe?

These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee:

And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

Jesus having said these, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Kedron, where was a garden, into which he came, he and his disciples.

And Judas also knew the place, he delivering him up: for Jesus was many times gathered there with his disciples.

Jesus then, knowing all coming upon him, having come out, said to them, Whom seek ye

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, he delivering up, was standing with them.

Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarite.

Jesus answered, I said to you, that I am: if then ye seek me, leave these to retire:

Then said Jesus to Peter, Put thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it

Then the band and captain of a thousand and attendants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest.

Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.

Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so?

Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me?

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha.

That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die.

Then came Pilate again into the pretorium, and asked Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Jesus answered him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee of me?

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had contended, that I be not delivered to the Jews; and now my kingdom is not hence.

Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

Then went forth Jesus without, bearing a crown of thorns, and a purple garment. And he says to them, Behold the man!

And went into the pretorinm again, and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered, Thou bast no power against me, if it were not given thee from above: therefore he delivering me to thee has greater sin.

Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha.

And they took Jesus, and led away: and bearing his cross he went out into a place called Kranium, which in Hebraic is called Golgotha:

Where they crucified him, and with him two others, hence and thence, and Jesus in the midst.

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARITE, KING OF THE JEWS.

Then read many of the Jews this title: for the place was near the city where Jesus was crucified: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Roman.

Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part: and also the coat: and the coat was unsewn through the whole, having been woven from above.

And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Jesus then having seen the mother, and the disciple standing near, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already completed, that the writing might be finished, says, I thirst.

When Jesus therefore took the vinegar, he said, It has been finished: and having bent the head, he delivered up the spirit.

And upon having come to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they brake not his legs:

And after these, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, in secret, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might takeaway the body of Jesus: and Pilate conceded. He came then, and took the body of Jesus..

And Nicodemus also came, he having come to Jesus at first by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds.

Then took they the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen bandages with spices, as the custom is to the Jews to prepare a body for interment.

There, therefore, on account of the Jews' preparation, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb; and we know not where they laid him.

And sees two messengers in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.

And having said these, she was turned back, and sees Jesus standing, and she knew not that it is Jesus.

Jesus says to her, Woman, why weepest thou a whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if thou didst bear him away, say where thou bast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus says to her, Mary. She having turned, says to him, Rabboni; which is called, Teacher.

Jesus says to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: and go thou to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God.

Then it being evening, in that one day of the sabbaths, and the doors shut where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you.

Then said Jesus again to them, Peace to you: as the Father has sent me, I also send you.

And Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

And after eight days again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them: Jesus comes, the doors shut, and said, Peace to you.

Jesus says to him, Because thou bast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: happy they not having seen, and having believed.

Then truly many other signs did Jesus also before his disciples, which are not written in this small book:

But these have been written, that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life in his name.

After these things Jesus again manifested himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias and so he made manifest.

And morning being already come, Jesus stood on the sea-shore: yet the disciples knew not that it is Jesus.

Then says Jesus to them, Children, have ye nothing cooked to eat? They answered him, No.

Then that disciple says, whom Jesus loved, to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter having heard that it is the Lord, girded round the upper garment, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea.

Jesus says to them, Bring ye from the little fishes which ye have now caught.

And Jesus says to them, Come, dine. And none of the disciples dared to inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it is the Lord.

Then comes Jesus, and takes bread, and gives them, and fish likewise.

This already the third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having risen from the dead.

Then, when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

Jesus says to him again the second time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep.

He says to him the third time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved that he said the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

And Peter having turned back, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined in the supper upon his breast, and said, Lord, who is he delivering thee up

Peter having seen him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what this

Jesus says to him, If I will him to remain till I come, what to thee? follow me.

Then went out the word to the brethren, That this disciple dies not: and Jesus said not to him, That he dies not; but, If I will him to remain till I come, what to thee?

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they be written every one, neither do I suppose the world itself will receive the books written. Amen.

Truly the first word had I made of all things, O Theophilus, of which Jesus began to do and also to teach,
