Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

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

Some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Therefore the Jews started complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate—and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

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

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink!

Others said, “This is the Messiah!” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He?

Then the temple police came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why haven’t you brought Him?”

Nicodemus—the one who came to Him previously, being one of them—said to them,

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

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

Then He said to them again, “I’m going away; you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.

“Go,” He told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.

Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

If He called those whom the word of God came to ‘gods’—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

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

“Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

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.

“Where have you put him?” He asked.

“Lord,” they told Him, “come and see.”

Then Jesus, angry in Himself again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

After He said this, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him and let him go.”

Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what He did believed in Him.

If we let Him continue in this way, everyone will believe in Him! Then the Romans will come and remove both our place and our nation.”

They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple complex: “What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will He?”

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,

So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

“Now My soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save Me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour.

Father, glorify Your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!”

Jesus responded, “This voice came, not for Me, but for you.

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness.

If anyone hears My words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

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.

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.

He came to Simon Peter, who asked Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?”

“Children, I am with you a little while longer. You will look for Me, and just as I told the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I tell you.

If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.

Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

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

Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come.

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

Now we know that You know everything and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God.”

Look: An hour is coming, and has come, when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and you will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,
the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son may glorify You,

because the words that You gave Me,
I have given them.
They have received them
and have known for certain
that I came from You.
They have believed that You sent Me.

So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

Then Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?”

“You are a king then?” Pilate asked.

“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”

And they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were slapping His face.

Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

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

When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away.

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

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.

Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”

But one of the Twelve, Thomas (called “Twin”), was not with them when Jesus came.

After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you!”

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.

“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord.

Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

“If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered, “what is that to you? As for you, follow Me.”

So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen Him going into heaven.”

Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying.

When this sound occurred, a crowd came together and was confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.
