"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

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

If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

"These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

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

"I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.

Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you."

Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?"

Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!"

They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

Jesus said to her, "Don't hold me, for I haven't yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."

The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."

Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."

When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."

But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."

Peter went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?"

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God."
