Now the leading priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he was to report it, so they could arrest Him.

Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and raised to life again.

So they gave a dinner there in honor of Jesus, and Martha was waiting on them, but Lazarus was one of the guests with Jesus.

but Mary taking a pound of the oil of spikenard which was very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair: so that the house was filled with the odour of the perfume.

But one of Jesus' disciples named Judas Iscariot, who later turned Him over [i.e., to the Jewish authorities], said,

then said Jesus, let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

The Chief Priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,

because he was the occasion that many of the Jews left them, and believed on Jesus.

The next day, a crowd of people that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,

that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm-trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.

now Jesus was riding upon a young ass, which he got by the way; as it is written,

this passage his disciples did not understand at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, they remembred how they had mounted him, and perceiv'd that those words related to him.

The crowd of people that was with Jesus [and saw Him] when He called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead, gave testimony [about all this].

But the crowd that went out to meet Jesus [i.e., as He entered Jerusalem] did so because they had heard about Him performing this [miraculous] sign [i.e., of raising Lazarus].

there were certain Greeks, who address'd themselves to Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, saying, sir, we would fain see Jesus.

Philip went to tell Andrew: and then both of them mention'd it to Jesus.

but Jesus answered them, saying, the time is come, when the son of man is to be glorified.

The crowd that was standing around heard this [i.e., the sound of the Father's voice], but said it was thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to Him [i.e., Jesus]."

Jesus said, this voice came not for my sake, but for yours.

This said Jesus signifying what death he should die.

Jesus answer'd them, yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have the light, lest darkness surprize you: for he that walketh in darkness, does not know whither he goes.

while ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. after having said these things, Jesus retir'd, and conceal'd himself from them.

But [even] though Jesus had performed so many [miraculous] signs in front of the people, still they did not believe in Him.

Isaiah had said these things because he saw the [coming] glory of Jesus, and [so] was speaking about Him.

Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;

are relocated after vs 50] With these words Jesus went away and hid from them.

Then Jesus rais'd his voice, and said, he that believeth on me, does not so much believe on me, as on him that sent me.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus perceiving that his hour was come, when he was to pass out of this world, and go to the father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

while they were at supper, (the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him) Jesus,

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

Jesus answered him, you don't at present comprehend what I am about: but hereafter you shall.

Peter said to him, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, if I do not cleanse thee, you cannot partake with me.

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

For Jesus knew who would betray Him; that is why He said, "Not every one of you is [spiritually] clean."

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 utter'd these words, he was troubled in spirit, and said without disguise, I assure you, that one of you shall betray me.

now the favourite disciple of Jesus sat next to him at table.

So, Simon Peter motioned [to John] and said, "Ask Jesus which one [of us] He is talking about."

then accordingly bending his head to Jesus's ear, he whisper'd, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have made it. and when he had made the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly.

Then said Jesus to him, What thou dost, do quickly. Now none at the table knew, why he said this to him.

for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor.

When he was gone, Jesus said, now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him.

And if God is [so] glorified through Him [now], God will [also] glorify the Son in Himself very soon. [Note: Possibly this was a reference to Jesus returning to the Father's presence].

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, you cannot at present follow me, where I am going; but hereafter you shall.

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him.

Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

[Jesus continued], "Do not allow your hearts to be upset. You should believe in God, and believe in me also.

Thomas said to Jesus, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how could we [possibly] know the way [to get there]?"

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man can come to the father, but by me.

Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long, and don't you know me yet? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father; why then do you say, shew us the father?

[Then] Judas (not the betrayer) [Note: This was the son of James, See Luke 6:16. He is also called Thaddaeus, See Matt. 10:3], said to Jesus, "Lord, what has happened [i.e., to your original plans to be seen by everyone when you came. See Luke 21:27], that you will reveal yourself to us apostles [only] and not to the [whole] 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.

[Jesus continued], "I am the real vine, and my Father is the owner of the vineyard.

[Jesus continued], "I have told you these things so that you men would not fall away [i.e., from the faith].

[And it will be shown] judgment, because the ruler of this world [i.e., Satan. See 12:31] has been condemned [i.e., by Jesus' death and resurrection].

Then some of Jesus' disciples said to one another, "What is this He is telling us: 'After a little while [longer] you will not see me. Then, a little while [later] you will see me again,' and 'Because I am going [back] to the Father'?" [See verse 10].

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?

[Then] Jesus' disciples said [to Him], "Look, you are speaking plainly now, and not in figurative language.

Jesus answered them, 'Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

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,

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

These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble 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 the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am he;' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

upon Jesus his saying to them, I am he, they fell backward to the ground.

Again, therefore, he questioned them, 'Whom do ye seek?' and they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene;'

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

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?'

The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

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,

The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

Jesus answered him, 'I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

Jesus answered him, 'If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'

& 25] Simon Peter followed Jesus along with another disciple; and as this disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, he passed into the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus,

Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "I saw you in the garden with Jesus, didn't I?"

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.

Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, 'Thou art 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, '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.'

Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him,

Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, the man!'

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.

and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

But Jesus gave him no answer. Then Pilate saith to him, Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

Jesus answered, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

After [hearing] this, Pilate tried to release Jesus, but the Jews shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Everyone who claims to be a king [i.e., as they had accused Jesus of doing. See 18:37] is in opposition to Caesar."

Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, 'Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away,

They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,
