Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

When he had washed their feet and put on his clothes and taken his place, he said to them again, "Do you understand what I have been doing to you?

If I then, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet too.

For I have set you an example, in order that you may do what I have done to you.

Now that you have this knowledge, you will be blessed if you act upon it.

I do not mean all of you; I know whom I have chosen; but let the Scripture be fulfilled: " 'He who is eating my bread Has raised his heel against me.'

Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I am going to give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." So he dipped the piece of bread and took it and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

for some of them thought that as Judas had the purse Jesus meant to say to him, "Buy what we need for the festival," or to have him give something to the poor.

I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must love one another.

There are many rooms in my Father's house; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you.

If you knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on you do know him and you have seen him."

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you, Philip, have not recognized me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Let us see the Father'?

"I have told you this while I am still staying with you,

but the Helper, the holy Spirit which the Father will send in my place, will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I have told you.

You have heard me say that I am going away and am coming back to you; if you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

And I have told you of it now before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe in me.

You are pruned already because of the teaching that I have given you.

If you remain united to me and my words remain in your hearts, ask for whatever you please and you shall have it.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. You must retain my love.

If you keep my commands you will retain my love, just as I have observed the Father's commands and retain his love.

I have told you all this so that you may have the happiness that I have had, and your happiness may be complete.

The command that I give you is to love one another just as I have loved you.

I do not call you slaves any longer, for a slave does not know what his master is doing, but now I call you friends, for I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.

It was not you who chose me, it is I that have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit??ruit that shall be lasting, so that the Father may grant you whatever you ask him for as my followers.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what was its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have selected you from the world, that the world hates you.

Remember what I said to you: No slave is greater than his master. If they have persecuted me they will persecute you too. If they have observed my teaching, they will observe yours too.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but as it is, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done things before them that no one else ever did they would not be guilty of sin. But as it is, they have seen both me and my Father, and they have hated us both.

and you must bear testimony too, because you have been with me from the first.

"I have told you this to keep you from faltering.

But I have told you about these things in order that when the time comes for them to happen, you may remember that I told you of them. I did not tell you this at first because I was still staying with you.

but your minds are full of sorrow because I have told you this.

I have much more to tell you, but you cannot take it in now,

Hitherto you have not asked for anything as my followers, but now ask, and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete.

"I have said all this to you in figurative language, but a time is coming when I shall not do so any longer, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

for the Father loves you himself because you love me and believe that I have come from the Father.

Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you have really come from God."

I have told you all this, so that through me you may find peace. In the world you have trouble; but take courage! I have conquered the world."

just as you have done in giving him power over all mankind, so that he may give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

I have done honor to you here on earth, by completing the work which you gave me to do.

"I have revealed your real self to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your message.

Now at last they know that all that you have given me comes from you,

for I have given them the truths that you gave me, and they have accepted them and been convinced that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

But now I am coming to you, and I say this here in this world in order that they may have the happiness that I feel fully realized in their own hearts.

I have given them your message, and the world has come to hate them, for they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

Just as you sent me to the world, I have sent them to the world.

I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one just as we are,

Father, I wish to have those whom you have given me with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me, for you loved me before the creation of the world.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am he, so if you are looking for me, let these men go."

This was to fulfil the saying he had uttered, "I have not lost one of those whom you have given me."

Jesus answered, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues or in the Temple where all the Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

Jesus replied, "If I have said anything wrong, testify to it; but if what I have said is true, why do you strike me?"

They answered, "If he were not a criminal, we would not have turned him over to you."

Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and try him by your law." The Jews said to him, "We have no authority to put anyone to death."

Pilate answered, "Do you take me for a Jew? Your own people and the high priests handed you over to me. What offense have you committed?"

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not a kingdom of this world. If my kingdom were a kingdom of this world, my men would have fought to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom has no such origin."

But it is your custom to have me release one man for you at Passover time. Do you want me therefore to release the king of the Jews for you?"

When the high priests and their attendants saw him, they shouted, "Have him crucified! Have him crucified!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and have him crucified, for I can find nothing to charge him with."

The Jews answered, "We have a law, and by our law he deserves death, for declaring himself to be a son of God."

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that it is in my power to release you or to have you crucified?"

Jesus answered him, "You would have no power at all over me, if it were not given to you from above. So you are less guilty than the man who betrayed me to you."

At that they shouted, "Kill him! Kill him! Have him crucified!" Pilate said to them, "Am I to crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor!"

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

As it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, in order that the bodies might not be left on the crosses over the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was an especially important one, the Jews asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

So she ran away and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple who was dear to Jesus, and said to them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put him."

And they said to her, "Why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Master away, and I do not know where they have put him."

Jesus said to her, "Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "If it was you, sir, that carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Jesus said to her, "You must not cling to me, for I have not yet gone up to my Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Mary of Magdala went and declared to the disciples, "I have seen the Master!" and she told them that he had said this to her.

So the rest of the disciples said to him, "We have seen the Master!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!"

Jesus said to him, "Is it because you have seen me that you believe? Blessed be those who believe without having seen me!"

But these have been recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and through believing you may have life as his followers.

So Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any fish?" They answered, "No."

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

Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, for they knew it was the Master.

I tell you, when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle and go where you pleased, but when you grow old, you will stretch our your hands and someone else will put a girdle on you and take you where you have no wish to go"

There are many other things that Jesus did, so many in fact that if they were all written out, I do not suppose that the world itself would hold the books that would have to be written.

And once when he ate with them, he instructed them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised. "You have heard me speak of it," he said,

and said to them, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into the sky? This very Jesus who has been caught up from you into heaven will come in just the way that you have seen him go up to heaven."

And they prayed, saying, "Lord, you who know all hearts, show us which one of these two you have chosen

But others said derisively, "They have had too much new wine!"

" 'It will come about in the last days, God says, That I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind; Your sons and daughters will become prophets, Your young men will have visions, And your old men will have dreams.

You have made the ways of life known to me, And you will fill me with joy in your presence.'

Peter said to them, "You must repent, and every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to have your sins forgiven; then you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit,

But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but I will give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!"

But you disowned the Holy, Righteous One. You asked to have a murderer released for you,

So repent and turn to God, to have your sins wiped out, and happier times will come from the presence of the Lord,

Why, all the prophets from Samuel down, who have spoken, have also foretold these days.

They had the apostles brought before them and demanded of them, "By what power or authority have men like you done this?"

for we cannot help telling of what we have seen and heard."

For they have assembled here in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you had consecrated??erod and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen and the peoples of Israel,

so that people would carry their sick out into the streets, and lay them down on beds and mats, to have at least Peter's shadow fall on some of them as he went by.

And they obeyed, and about daybreak went into the Temple and began to teach. The high priest and his party came over and called together the council and indeed the whole senate of the Israelites, and sent to the prison to have the apostles brought in.

"We strictly forbade you," he said, "to teach on this authority, and here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and propose to hold us responsible for this man's death!"

So they instigated people to say, "We have heard him use abusive language about Moses and about God."

for we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will tear this place down and change the customs that have been handed down to us by Moses."

I have seen all the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans, and I have come down to save them. So come! I will make you my messenger to Egypt!'
