Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.

At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.

They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.

Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:

Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.

While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

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

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house.

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.
