And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.

They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

Then, after washing their feet and putting on his robe again, he took his seat and said to them, Do you see what I have done to you?

If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

Truly I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; and he who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.

Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.

And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.

They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.

While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

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.

And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;
