and they went to Philip who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and kept making this request of him, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

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

Now my soul is troubled; what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour of agony! And yet it was for this very purpose that I came to this hour of agony.

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

This world is now in process of judgment; the prince of this world is now to be expelled.

He said this to show the kind of death He was going to die.

The crowd answered Him, "We have learned from the law that the Christ is to remain here forever, and so how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

While you have the light believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." On saying this Jesus went away and hid Himself.

Isaiah said this, because he saw His glory; yes, he spoke about Him.

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,

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.

For He knew who was going to betray Him; this is why He said, "You are not all clean."

If you know all this, happy are you if you practice it.

After saying this Jesus was deeply moved in spirit and solemnly said, "I most solemnly say to you, one of you is going to betray me."

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

By this everybody will know that you are my disciples, if you keep on showing love for one another."

"I have told you this while I am still staying with you.

And now I have told you this before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe in me.

"I shall not talk much more with you, for the evil ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in common with me,

By your continuously bearing abundant fruit and in this way proving yourselves to be real disciples of mine, my Father is glorified.

This is my command to you, to keep on loving one another as I have loved you.

No one can show greater love than this, the giving of his life for his friends.

They will do all this to you on account of me, because they do not know Him who has sent me.

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

They will do this, because they have never come to know God nor me.

about judgment, because the evil ruler of this world has been condemned.

Everything that the Father has is mine; this is why I have told you, 'He will take the things that are mine and tell them to you.'

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him a question, and so He said to them, "Are you inquiring of one another about this saying of mine, 'In just a little while you will not see me, and yet in just a little while after you will see me again'?

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.

Now we know that you know everything and do not need that anyone should ask you questions. For this reason we believe that you have come from God."

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

He said this that the statement He had just made might be fulfilled, "I have not lost one of those whom you have given me."

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.

Then the servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You too are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He answered, "No, I am not."

After He had said this, one of the attendants standing by slapped Jesus in the face, and said, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"

So Pilate came outside and asked, "What is the charge you bring against this man?"

This made it possible for the word of Jesus to be fulfilled which He spoke to indicate what sort of death He was to die.

Jesus answered him, "Do you ask me this on your own initiative, or have others suggested it to you about me?"

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 Pilate said to Him, "So you are a king then?" Jesus answered, "Certainly I am a king. For this very purpose I was born, for this very purpose I have come into the world, to testify for truth. Everybody who is a friend of truth listens to my voice."

Pilate asked Him, "What is truth?" On saying this he went outside again to the Jews, and said to them, "As far as I can see, I can find no ground for a charge against Him.

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!"

On hearing this Pilate had Jesus brought out and had Him sit on the judge's bench at the place called the Stone Platform, or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Many of the Jews read this placard, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

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.

After this, as Jesus knew that everything was now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, "I am thirsty."

For this took place that this Scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of His will be broken."

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.

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

Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had told her this.

On saying this, He showed them His hands and His side, and the disciples were thrilled with joy over seeing their Lord.

On saying this, He breathed upon them, and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit!

Now there are many other wonder-works which Jesus performed in the disciples' presence which are not recorded in this book.

After this Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and this is the way He showed Himself.

This was now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead.

He said this to point out the sort of death by which Peter was to glorify God. So after He had said this, He said to Peter, "Keep on following me!"

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?"

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down, and we know that his testimony is true.
