Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained 20 or 30 gallons.

When the chief servant tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

since John had not yet been thrown into prison.

He had to travel through Samaria,

so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.

“For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem during the festival. For they also had gone to the festival.

Then He went again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum.

When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

because an angel would go down into the pool from time to time and stir up the water. Then the first one who got in after the water was stirred up recovered from whatever ailment he had].

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It’s illegal for you to pick up your mat.”

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

The man went and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.

When the people saw the sign He had done, they said, “This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world!”

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.

After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil.

After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.

After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly.

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple complex. But no one seized Him, because His hour had not come.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples.

His neighbors and those who formerly had seen him as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging?”

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

When Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out, He found him and asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

So He departed again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing earlier, and He remained there.

When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.

Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.

Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met Him.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet and told Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died!”

When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He was angry in His spirit and deeply moved.

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it so they could arrest Him.

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.

Then a large crowd of the Jews learned He was there. They came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus the one He had raised from the dead.

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

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.

This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign.

While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.

Even though He had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in Him.

Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Now by the time of supper, the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, to betray Him.

Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into His hands, that He had come from God, and that He was going back to God.

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His spirit and testified, “I assure you: One of you will betray Me!”

Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.” When He had dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence
with that glory I had with You
before the world existed.

After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.

This was to fulfill the words He had said: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. (The slave’s name was Malchus.)

Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was advantageous that one man should die for the people.

Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

“If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?”

One of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

“What is truth?” said Pilate.

After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging Him.

Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

The soldiers also twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and threw a purple robe around Him.

Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was:

JESUS THE NAZARENE

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.

Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes.

There was a garden in the place where He was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it.

On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

The wrapping that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.

The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.

She saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body had been lying.

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Feed My lambs,” He told him.

So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them. That disciple was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray You?”
