took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and began crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!"

(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.)

So the crowd who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify.

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

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and began asking him saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Now the crowd that stood [there] and heard [it] said {it had thundered}. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him!"

Then the crowd replied to him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains {forever}! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

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

Isaiah said these [things] because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.

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.

And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

And [as] a dinner was taking place, [when] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,

[because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,

Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these [things]."

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet {forever}!" Jesus replied to him, "Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me."

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head!"

Jesus said to him, "The one who has bathed {only needs} to wash [his] feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all [of you]."

(For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, "Not all [of you] are clean.")

Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

He leaned back accordingly against Jesus' chest [and] said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus replied, "It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give [it] to him." Then [after] dipping the piece of bread, he gave [it] to Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot.

And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you are doing, do quickly!"

(Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what [reason] he said this to him.

For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Purchase {what we need} for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.)

Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How are we able to know the way?"

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him."

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

Jesus said to him, "Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, 'Show us the Father?'

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know [him]. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

The one who has my commandments and keeps them--that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and {will take up residence with him}.

"I am the vine; you [are] the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him--this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.

But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

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'?

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

(Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, also knew about the place, because Jesus often gathered there with his disciples.)

Then Jesus, [because he] knew all the things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

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.)

Then the cohort and the military tribune and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and tied him up,

and brought [him] to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Jesus replied to him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple [courts] where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.

Jesus replied to him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what [is] wrong! But if [I have spoken] correctly, why do you strike me?"

Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.

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!"

One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

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

So Pilate said to them, "You take him and judge him according to your law!" The Jews said to him, "It is not permitted for us to kill anyone,"

Then Pilate entered again into the governor's residence and summoned Jesus and said to him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

Then Pilate said to him, "So then you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this [reason] I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world: in order that I can testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" And [when he] had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, "I find no basis for an accusation against him.

So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and placed [it] on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

and were coming up to him and saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" and were giving him slaps in the face.

And Pilate came outside again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing him outside to you, so that you will know that I find no basis for an accusation against him."

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."

The Jews replied to him, "We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be the Son of God!"

and he entered into the governor's residence again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus did not give him an answer.

So Pilate said to him, "Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I have authority to crucify you?"

Jesus replied to him, "You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this [reason] the one who handed me over to you has greater sin."

From this [point on] Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar! Everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!"

Then those shouted, "Away [with him]! Away [with him]! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests replied, "We do not have a king except Caesar!"

So then he handed him over to them in order that he could be crucified.

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

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.

And Nicodemus--the one who had come to him formerly at night--also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes [weighing] about a hundred pounds.

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!"

Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the [strips of] linen cloth lying there,

(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!"

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She thought that it was the gardener, [and] said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him."

Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned around [and] said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni" (which means "Teacher").

So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!"

Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed [are] those who have not seen and have believed."

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."

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!"

He said to him again a second time, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Shepherd my sheep!"

He said to him a third [time], "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed because he said to him a third [time], "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep!

(Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God.) And [after he] had said this, he said to him, "Follow me!"

Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? You follow me!"

So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but "If I want him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you?"
