If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice!

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the one who receives and welcomes whomever I send receives Me; and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me [in that same way].”

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly.

And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, so that he may dwell with you into the age,

if a man abide not in me, he is cast away as withered branches that are gather'd up to be thrown into the fire, where they are burned.

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.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these'shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

a woman when she is in travail, is afflicted at the approach of her pains: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, the remembrance of her anguish, is lost in her joy, that a man is born into the world.

I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father.

as thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

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?'

Simon Peter followed Jesus, with another disciple, who being known to the high priest, was admitted into his palace at the same time with Jesus,

& 25] Simon Peter followed Jesus along with another disciple; and as this disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, he passed into the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus,

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;

Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art the King of the Jews?'

Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, I should have had my guards to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews: whereas my kingdom is of another nature.

“You are a king then?” Pilate asked.

“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”

The soldiers wove thorny twigs into a crown and placed it on His head and dressed Him in a purple robe.

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.

Jesus answered, you could not have any power over me, except you deriv'd it from above: therefore they who delivered me into your hands are the most culpable.

And he bare his cross, and went forth into a place called the place of dead men's skulls: which is named in Hebrew, Golgotha:

When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.

Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

but one of the soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

and the napkin, which was upon his head, not, with the linen-bandages, lying, but apart, folded up into one place.

then the other disciple, who arriv'd first, went into the cave likewise, and he saw, and believed what Mary had said.

But Mary stood outside facing the tomb, crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.

she stooped down into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, where the body of Jesus had laid, one at the head, and one at the feet.

And having said this, he breathed into them, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit:

So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe!”

Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.

So Simon Peter got into [the boat] and hauled the net to the land, full of large fish--one hundred fifty-three--and [although there] were so many, the net was not torn.
