So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon him, as it is written:

At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen.

because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him.

He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever.

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

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

(He spake this, signifying what death he should die.) The people answered him,

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,

Isaiah said this when he saw his glory and spoke about him.

Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,

Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

By supper time, the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.

Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

riseth from supper, and turneth aside his clothes, and took a towel and tied it about Him;

Then he put water into a basin and was washing the feet of the disciples and drying them with the cloth which was round him.

Then he came to Simon Peter, who asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Jesus answered him, "You don't realize now what I'm doing, but later on you'll understand."

Peter told him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you cannot be involved with me."

Simon Peter told him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

Jesus told him, "Whoever has bathed is entirely clean. He doesn't need to wash himself further, except for his feet. And you men are clean, though not all of you."

For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, "Not all of you are clean."

And when He had washed their feet, and taken his clothes about Him, He sat down again, and said to them, Do ye know the intent of what I have been doing to you?

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, a servant isn't greater than his master, and a messenger isn't 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.

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

Then Simon Peter made signs to this man, and said to him, Ask who it is of whom he speaks.

Leaning forward on Jesus' chest, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Do quickly what you are going to do!"

Now no one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him.

Some thought that, since Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the destitute.

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

If God has been glorified by him, God himself also will glorify the Son of Man, and he will do so quickly.

Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "I'm going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later on."

"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

Jesus answered him, "Would you lay down your life for me? I tell you emphatically, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times."

Thomas asked him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

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

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

Philip told him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us."

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

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

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

Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.

He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.

I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me [no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me];

I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father.

You have not chosen me; I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, that your fruit may remain too, so that the Father may grant you, as bearers of my name, whatever you ask Him for.

Remember [and continue to remember] that 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 keep yours also.

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

"But the Helper will come, that is, the Holy Spirit of truth [i.e., who reveals truth]. He comes from the Father and I will send Him to you from the Father. [When He comes] He will give testimony about me.

and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?

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.

and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him.

But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].

he shall glorify me: for he will commuincate to you, the information, which I shall give him.

all that the father has is mine: that is the reason of my saying, "he shall communicate to you the information that I shall give him."

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'?

At that time you will ask me no more questions. I most solemnly say to you, the Father will give you, as bearers of my name, whatever you ask Him for.

At that time you will ask Him [i.e., for things in prayer], in my name; I do not say that I will ask the Father for you,

His disciples say to him, 'Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes and said, Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh,

For you have given him authority over all humanity so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with his disciples over the brook Kedron; where there was a garden, into which He entred, and his disciples. Now Judas who was gone to betray Him,

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, 'Whom do ye seek?'

They answered him, "Jesus from Nazareth." Jesus told them, "I AM." Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

At this, Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it, and struck the High Priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Then the soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus and tied him up.

First they brought him to Annas, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the Temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?"

Then Annas sent him, with his hands tied, to Caiaphas the high priest.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"

One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

They answered him, "If he weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you."

Pilate told them, "You take him and try him according to your Law."

The Jewish leaders told him, "It is not legal for us to put anyone to death." This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.

So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

Jesus answered him, 'From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'

Jesus answered him. "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants have fought hard that I should not be handed the Jews; but in reality my kingdom is not of such origins."

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."

Pilate asked him, "What is "truth'?" and then he went out to the Jewish leaders again and told them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
