But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,

“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and [the money] given to the poor?”

But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it.

Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial;

When the large crowd of Jews realized that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem.

took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

And Jesus got a young ass and sat thereon, according to that which was 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.

The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign.

the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life.

"Now my soul is in turmoil, and what should I say "Father, save me from this hour'? No! It was for this very reason that I came to this hour.

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."

"It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes.

Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world shall be driven out;

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?"

Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

Now for all the Signs he had performed before them, they did not believe in him ??38 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what they heard from us, And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

so that what the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the Lord's power been revealed?"

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."

Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ's glory; and it was of him that he spoke.

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.

And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him that sent me;

and he that beholds me beholds him that sent me.

I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

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,

For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

Because Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his control, that he had come from God, and that he was returning to God,

Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel that was tied around his waist.

He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, 'Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only that his feet should be washed, but is wholly pure; and you are pure, but not all.

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

You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right because that is what I am.

I've set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you.

I tell you most truly, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor the apostle greater than he that sent him.

Now that you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

I'm telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may believe that I AM.

I tell you most truly, He that receives one that I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake.

and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'

Jesus answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost -- do quickly;'

But none of those that sat at table knew wherefore He 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.

having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

Little children, yet a little am I with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, That where I retire, ye cannot come; and I say to you now.

'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one 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.

There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there weren't, I wouldn't have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you, would I?

And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

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

Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father?

You believe, don't you, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I don't speak on my own. It is the Father who dwells in me and who carries out his work.

believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.

and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.

At that time, you'll know that I am in my Father, that you are in me, and that I am in you.

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest 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, he that loves me, will observe my precepts: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

this is what I have to tell you, for the little time that I am with you.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you.

Peace I leave with you: my own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.

You have heard me tell you, "I'm going away, but I'm coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I'm going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

I've told you this now, before I leave, so that when I do leave, you will believe.

I shall not have much more conversation with you: for the prince of this world is coming; not that he hath any thing in me,

But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place."

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away;

He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit.

already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

Continue in me, and let me continue in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself--that is, if it does not continue in the vine--so neither can you if you do not continue in me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing.

if a man abide not in me, he is cast away as withered branches that are gather'd up to be thrown into the fire, where they are burned.

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

I've told you this, so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.

"This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
