He said to them, "Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters,

And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves.

So Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called 'benefactors.'

But Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!"

Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler's bag, or sandals, you didn't lack anything, did you?" They replied, "Nothing."

He said to them, "But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler's bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.

So they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." Then he told them, "It is enough."

When he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."

So he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!"

But Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, should we use our swords?"

But Jesus said, "Enough of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come out to get him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs like you would against an outlaw?

Then a slave girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight, stared at him and said, "This man was with him too!"

Then a little later someone else saw him and said, "You are one of them too." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

They also said many other things against him, reviling him.

and said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,

So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" He answered them, "You say that I am."

Then they said, "Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for an accusation against this man."

and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not find this man guilty of anything you accused him of doing.

A third time he said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him."

But Jesus turned to them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

[But Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing."] Then they threw dice to divide his clothes.

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom."

And Jesus said to him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And after he said this he breathed his last.

Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

The women were terribly frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Then he said to them, "What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?" And they stood still, looking sad.

He said to them, "What things?" "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene," they replied, "a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;

and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him."

So he said to them, "You foolish people -- how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

They said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?"

While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Then he said to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

and said to them, "Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

John testified about him and shouted out, "This one was the one about whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'"

So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No!"

Then they said to him, "Who are you? Tell us so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

John said, "I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'

And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining -- this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, "What do you want?" So they said to him, "Rabbi" (which is translated Teacher), "where are you staying?"

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus.

Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

On the next day Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

Jesus said to him, "Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine left."

and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the cheaper wine when the guests are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!"

To those who sold the doves he said, "Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father's house a marketplace!"

Then the Jewish leaders said to him, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up in three days?"

So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother's womb and be born a second time, can he?"

Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must all be born from above.'

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified -- see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!"

You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but rather, 'I have been sent before him.'

A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."

So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How can you -- a Jew -- ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?" (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, "If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, 'Give me some water to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

"Sir," the woman said to him, "you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this living water?

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water."

He said to her, "Go call your husband and come back here."

The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "Right you are when you said, 'I have no husband,'

for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!"

The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever he comes, he will tell us everything."

Jesus said to her, "I, the one speaking to you, am he."

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work.

They said to the woman, "No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world."

So Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders you will never believe!"

"Sir," the official said to him, "come down before my child dies."

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed along with his entire household.

When Jesus saw him lying there and when he realized that the man had been disabled a long time already, he said to him, "Do you want to become well?"

Jesus said to him, "Stand up! Pick up your mat and walk."

So the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat."

But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your mat and walk'?"

After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "Look, you have become well. Don't sin any more, lest anything worse happen to you."

Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?"

(Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)

One of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted."

But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."

When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
