"And lo, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."

And he took a loaf, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them saying. "This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.'

And they began to question among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do such a thing.

And there arose also a dispute among them as to which of them could be considered the greatest,

"For which is greater, he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at table? But I am in your midst as one who serves.

"For I say to you that this word of Scripture must find it's fulfilment in me. "And he was numbered among the transgressors, For that which concerns me has its accomplishment."

On the Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb.

Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb, but when he stooped and looked in he saw the linen wrappings by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

When they drew near to the village to which they are were going, he appeared to be going farther.

Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, how all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms concerning me."

The true Light, which enlightens every man, was then coming into the world.

Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated 'Teacher'), "where are you staying?"

In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said: "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or 'Peter,' which means 'Rock').

So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, when they beheld the signs which he did;

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."

"Most solemnly I tell you we are speaking of what we know, and it is about that of which we were eyewitnesses that we give testimony. Yet all of you reject our testimony.

"Rabbi," they said, "eat something." But he answered, "I have food to eat of which you know nothing."

I sent you to reap a crop on which you have not toiled. Others have toiled, and you have reaped the benefit of their toil."

Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home.

This is the second sign which Jesus performed, on returning from Judea to Galilee.

"Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again;

"Another bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears concerning me is valid.

"But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the work which the Father has given me to bring to completion??he work which I am doing??ears testimony concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

"How can you believe when you receive glory from, one another, and have no desire for the glory which comes from the only God?

A great crowd were following him, because they witnessed the signs which he was continually performing among those who were ill.

"Labor not for food which perishes, but for the food that endures eternal life??hat which the Son of man will give you; for on the Father??od??as set his seal."

Then the Jews began to find fault with Jesus, because he said, "I am the bread which comes down out of heaven," and they kept asking.

"I myself am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Any one who eats this bread will live forever; and moreover, the bread which I will give is my flesh, given for the life of the world."

"This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever."

"The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life.

his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which you are doing.

and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

"I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."

"But now you are seeking to kill me?? man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.

"Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?

Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.

"I have other sheep also, which do not belong to this fold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

Jesus answered them. "I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I am doing in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me.

The Jews again took stones with which to stone him. Jesus said to them.

"I have shown you many good deeds from my Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?"

Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.

Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.

For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.

He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has indeed a judge. The message which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the Last Day,

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says. "He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.

Then the disciples began looking at one another, wondering which one of them he meant.

"He that loves me not does not obey words, and yet the words to which you are listening are not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

"Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.

But when he is come, that Spirit of Truth, he will guide you into the whole truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but all that he hears he will speak, and will make known to you that which is to come.

So they kept asking. "What does that 'little while' mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about."

I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

for I have given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one,

"Father, it is my will that wherever I am these also, thy gift to me, may be with me, that they may see the glory, my glory which thou hast given me, because thou didst love me before the foundations of the world.

And I have declared??nd will declare??hy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."

After he had spoken these words Jesus went forth with his disciples to a place across the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples went.

(In order that the word which he had spoken might be fulfilled, "Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost one.")

(The slave's name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.

The Jews answered him, "We are not allowed to put anyone to death" (that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled in which he predicted the kind of death he was to die).
