On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and told them, "Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

After this, he told the disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."

For your sake I'm glad that I wasn't there, so that you may believe. But let's go to him."

Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, told his fellow disciples, "Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!"

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation."

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.

I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

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."

Jesus replied, "I told you that I am the one, so if you are looking for me, let these men go."

Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

So they told each other, "Let's not tear it. Instead, let's throw dice to see who gets it." This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they threw dice." So that is what the soldiers did.

Later on, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, and he came and removed his body.
