I command you to do these things so that you will [demonstrate your] love for one another. [Note: Or this may mean that His command was to love one another, as in verse 12].

Remember what I told you: "A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

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

"When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father the Spirit of Truth, who comes from the Father he will testify on my behalf.

You will testify also, because you have been with me from the beginning.

"I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away.

You'll be thrown out of the synagogues. Yes, a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he's serving God.

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. "I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

However, I'm telling you the truth. It's for your advantage that I'm going away, because if I don't go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment

[The world will be proven guilty] of sin for not believing in me.

of righteousness, because I'm going to the Father and you will no longer see me;

[And it will be shown] judgment, because the ruler of this world [i.e., Satan. See 12:31] has been condemned [i.e., by Jesus' death and resurrection].

Yet when the Spirit of Truth comes, he'll guide you into all truth. He won't speak on his own accord, but he'll speak whatever he hears and will declare to you the things that are to come.

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, "He will take what is mine and declare it to you.'

In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again."

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he asked them, "Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again'?

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you'll cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You'll be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.

Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

On that day, you won't ask me for anything. Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whatever you ask the Father for in my name, he will give it to you.

So far you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."

"I have said these things to you in figurative language. The time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

At that time, you will make your requests in my name, so that I will have no need to ask the Father on your behalf,

for the Father Himself loves you [i.e., and will grant your requests without my persuasion], because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Listen, the time is coming, indeed it has already come, when you will be scattered, each of you to his own home, and you will leave me all by myself. Yet I'm not alone, because the Father is with me.

I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

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.

My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

Just as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent [i.e., will send] them into the world.

I ask not only on behalf of these men, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message,

that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

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

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them."

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

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 Pilate said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

So the soldiers said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it." This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice." So the soldiers did these things.

And the person who saw this happen is giving a true testimony about it. He knows it is true [and is giving it] so that you will believe [it, also].

because these things happened so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "None of his bones will be broken."

In addition, another passage of Scripture says, "They will look on the one whom they pierced."

Jesus asked her, "Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

the other disciples, therefore, said to him, 'We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, 'If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

But these [signs] are written down so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that when you believe [this], you will have [never ending] life in His name [i.e., through His person and work].

Simon Peter said to them, I am going a fishing. They said to him, We will also go with you. They went out and entered into the ship; and on that night caught nothing,

They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude of fishes.

Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep. "Truly, I tell you emphatically, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."

Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he will glorify God. And after saying this, he says to him, Follow me.

And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;

Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man?

Jesus told him, "If it's my will for him to remain until I come back, how does that concern you? You must keep following me!"

So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to Peter that he wasn't going to die, but, "If it's my will for him to remain until I come back, how does that concern you?"

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they be written every one, neither do I suppose the world itself will receive the books written. Amen.
