So the sisters sent word to Jesus and told him, "Lord, the one whom you love is ill."

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

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

Jesus replied, Are [there] not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

He said this, and then He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m on My way to wake him up.”

So the disciples told him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."

So then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.

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

Martha told Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

Martha told him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.

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

When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you!"

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!”

“Where have you put him?” He asked.

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

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, “Lord, he’s already decaying. It’s been four days.”

Jesus told her, "I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?"

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."

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

Philip came and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

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

I know that His commandment is eternal life. So the things I speak, I speak [in accordance with His exact instruction,] just as the Father has told Me.”

Peter told him, "You must never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you cannot be involved with me."

Simon Peter told him, "Lord, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well!"

“One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I've done to you?

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

None of those reclining at the table knew why He told him this.

For some of them thought, since Judas was in charge of the [money] bag, that Jesus was telling him, "Buy whatever we need for the [Passover] meal," or that he was [being told] to give [money] to poor people [from it].

Little children, I am with you [only] a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to come.’

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Philip told him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us."

“I have told you these things while I am still with you.

But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.

You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.

I do not call you slaves anymore, for a slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have told you everything that I heard from my Father.

Remember [and continue to remember] that I told you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

“I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away.

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of his own accord, he will say whatever he is told, and he will disclose to you what is to come.

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

So for now you are in grief; but I will see you again, and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away from you your [great] joy.

Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.

“I have told you these things in figurative language (veiled language, proverbs); the hour is now coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

But now I am coming to You; and I say these things [while I am still] in the world so that they may experience My joy made full and complete and perfect within them [filling their hearts with My delight].

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.

“I am He,” Jesus told them.

Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.

When He told them, “I am He,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

Jesus told Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shouldn't I drink the cup that the Father has given me?"

the same Caiaphas, who in council told the Jews, "it was expedient that one man should die for the people."

Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?"

So Pilate told them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your law.”

“It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death,” the Jews declared.

The Jewish leaders told him, "It is not legal for us to put anyone to death." This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.

Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

Pilate said to Him [scornfully], “What is truth?”

And when he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no guilt in Him [no crime, no cause for an accusation].

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."

Then Jesus came outside, wearing the victor's crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate told them, "Here is the man!"

When the high priests and the officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate told them, "You take him and crucify him. I find no basis for a charge against him."

It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”

Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, "The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, "I am the King of the Jews.'"

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.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he kept loving standing there, he told his mother, "Dear lady, here is your son."

Then he told the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

And they said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She told them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

Jesus asked her, "Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Jesus told her, "Mary!" She turned around and told him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means "Teacher").

“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.”

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them. He told them, "Peace be with you."

After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with great joy.

Jesus told them again, "Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

When he had said this, he breathed on them and told them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

Then he told Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, but believe."

Jesus told him, "Is it because you've seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed!"

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

That disciple whom Jesus kept loving told Peter, "It's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his clothes back on, because he was practically naked, and jumped into the sea.

“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.

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

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Feed My lambs,” He told him.

A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”

“Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.

Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep." He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was deeply hurt that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So he told him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"

Jesus told him, "Feed my sheep. "Truly, I tell you emphatically, when you were young, you would fasten your belt and go wherever you liked. But when you get old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten your belt and take you where you don't want to go."

He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, “Follow Me!”

Jesus told him, "If it's my will for him to remain until I come back, how does that concern you? You must keep following me!"

My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,

He told them, "You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.

And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphasus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
