So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,

On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, [when they] heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(His disciples did not understand these [things] at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these [things] had been written about him and they did these [things] to him.)

Because of this also the crowd went to meet him, for they had heard [that] he had performed this sign.

But as many signs [as] he had performed before them, they did not believe in him,

For this [reason] they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with [their] eyes and understand with [their] hearts and turn, and I heal them."

Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.

For they loved the praise of men more than praise from God.

If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

Remember the word that I said to you: 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

But they will do all these [things] to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But [this happened] so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a reason.'

{They will expel you from the synagogue}, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.

And they will do these [things] because they do not know the Father or me.

concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,

So they kept on saying, "What is this that he is saying, 'A little [while]'? We do not understand what he is speaking about!"

Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, "Are you deliberating with one another about this--that I said, 'A little [while], and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me'?

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

"I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word.

Now they understand that all [the things] that you have given me are from you,

because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,

And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these [things] in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

And for them I sanctify myself, so that [they] themselves also may be sanctified in the truth.

that they all may be one, just as you, Father, [are] in me and I [am] in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we [are] one--

I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

"Father, [those] whom you have given to me--I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

They replied to him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am [he]." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)

So when he said to them, "I am [he]," {they drew back} and fell to the ground.

Then he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

(Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing there with them and warming himself.)

Now Simon Peter was standing there and warming himself. So they said to him, "You are not also [one] of his disciples, [are you]?" He denied [it] and said, "I am not!"

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor's residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.

They answered and said to him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have handed him over to you!"

Then they shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)

So when they saw him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them, "You take him and crucify [him]! For I do not find a basis for an accusation against him."

where they crucified him, and with him two others, {one on each side}, and Jesus in the middle.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing and made four shares--for each soldier a share--and the tunic. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top {in a single piece}.)

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it apart, but cast lots for it, [to see] whose it will be," so that the scripture would be fulfilled that says, "They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots." Thus the soldiers did these [things].

A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so [they] put a sponge full of the sour wine on a [branch of] hyssop [and] brought [it] to his mouth.

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.

But [when they] came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

And again another scripture says, "They will look on [the one] whom they have pierced."

So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in [strips of] linen cloth with the fragrant spices, as is the Jews' custom to prepare for burial.

So there, on account of the day of preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was close by, they buried Jesus.

So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!"

(For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)

And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!"

And [when he] had said this, he showed [his] hands and [his] side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced [when they] saw the Lord.

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain [the sins] of any, they are retained."

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

So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish to eat, [do you]? They answered him, "No."

And he said to them, "Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find [some]." So they threw [it], and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.

But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away.

So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire laid [there], and a fish lying on [it], and bread.

Jesus said to them, "Come, eat breakfast!" But none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" [because they] knew that it was the Lord.

Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs!"

Now there are also many other [things] that Jesus did, which--if they were written down one after the other--I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
