Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.

no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

'These things I command you, that ye love one another;

if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what is its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, that the world hates you.

'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me.

They would not be guilty of sinning if I had not come and spoken to them. But now [that I have], they have no excuse for their sin.

he that hateth me, hateth my father also.

if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father--that one will testify about me.

'These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going?

And now that I have told you these things, your hearts are full of grief.

'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

And when He does come, He will bring conviction to the world regarding sin [i.e., exposing it and producing guilt], regarding what is right [i.e., upholding godly standards], and regarding judgment [i.e., showing that sin condemns].

about uprightness, because I go away to the Father so that you can no longer see me;

As to Judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these'shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

He will glorify me, because He will take the things that belong to me and tell them to you.

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?"

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

So with you. Just now you are in sorrow, but I shall see you again and your heart will rejoice ??with a joy that no one can take from you.

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

"Do you believe that already?" Jesus answered.

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- 'Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

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

I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

'And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

I have manifested your name unto the men that you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.

now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them that you have given me; for they are yours.

for every thing that is mine is thine, and what is thine is mine, and I am glorified by them.

and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

'And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

'And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one;

I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love 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.

'Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.

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

Jesus saith unto them, I am He. And Judas that betrayed Him, was standing with them.

Then, when he said to them, That I am, they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

So once more He asked them, "Who is it that you are looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus answered, 'I said to you that I am he; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'

that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name to that servant was Malchus.

Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

whilst Peter stood without at the door. but that other disciple, who was known to the high priest went out, and spoke to her that kept the door, who let Peter in.

then said the damsel, that kept the door, to Peter, are you also one of this man's disciples? I am not, said he.

now the servants and officers that were there, had made a coal-fire, for it was cold, to warm themselves: and Peter stood warming himself among them.

Why askest thou me? Ask them that have heard me , what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said.

When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there struck Him [in the face], saying, "Is that any way to talk to the head priest?"

"If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, Are thou not also of his disciples? That man therefore denied, and said, I am not.

Then Peter again denied it, and at that moment a cock crowed.

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

After that, Pilate went into the Government House again, and calling Jesus up, asked him: "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus answered him, is it your opinion that I am, or did others give it you as theirs?

Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, 'Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

Pilate said unto him, "What thing is truth?" And when he had said that, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, "I find in him no cause at all.

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?'

Then cried they all again saying, "Not him, but Barabbas." That Barabbas was a robber.

After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.

Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

Pilate upon hearing that, was still more apprehensive.

Pilate, therefore, saith to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'

Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.

From that moment Pilate made every effort to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”

When Pilate heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down to give sentence, in a place called the pavement: But in the Hebrew tongue, Gabbatha.

At that they shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Have him crucified!" Pilate said to them, "Am I to crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor!"
