Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, so that we may die with him."

Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you."

Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world."

So that one, when she heard [it], got up quickly and went to him.

So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, [when they] saw Mary--that she stood up quickly and went out--followed her, [because they] thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.

But some of them said, "Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do [something] so that this man also would not have died?"

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

So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above and said, "Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me.

And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said [it], so that they may believe that you sent me."

But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, "You do not know anything at all!

Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish."

(Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)

So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the [surrounding] country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.

So they were looking for Jesus, and were speaking with one another [while] standing in the temple [courts], "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report [it], in order that they could arrest him.)

So Jesus said, "Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my preparation for burial.

Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.

So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,

On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, [when they] heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

(His disciples did not understand these [things] at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these [things] had been written about him and they did these [things] to him.)

Because of this also the crowd went to meet him, for they had heard [that] he had performed this sign.

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man will be glorified.

Now the crowd that stood [there] and heard [it] said {it had thundered}. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him!"

Then the crowd replied to him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains {forever}! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

So Jesus said to them, "Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these [things], and [then] he went away [and] was hidden from them.

in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, "Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.

I have come [as] a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So [the things] that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say."

Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end.

And [as] a dinner was taking place, [when] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,

[because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,

For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.

"I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, 'The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

From now [on] I am telling you before [it] happens, in order that when [it] happens you may believe that I am [he].

[When he] had said these [things], Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, "Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me."

For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Purchase {what we need} for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.)

"A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another--just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples--if you have love for one another."

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works.

Believe me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater [works] than these because I am going to the Father.

And {whatever} you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you {forever}--

On that day you will know that I [am] in my Father, and you [are] in me, and I [am] in you.

The one who has my commandments and keeps them--that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name--that one will teach you all [things], and will remind you of everything that I said to you.

You have heard that I said to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I [am].

And now I have told you before [it] happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he removes it, and every [branch] that bears fruit, he prunes it in order that it may bear more fruit.

You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

My Father is glorified by this: that you bear much fruit, and prove to be my disciples.

I have spoken these [things] to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.

This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.

No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

These [things] I command you: that you love one another.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before [it hated] you.

Remember the word that I said to you: 'A slave 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.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But [this happened] so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a reason.'

"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father--that one will testify about me.

"I have said these [things] to you so that you will not fall away.

{They will expel you from the synagogue}, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.

But I have said these [things] to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them.

But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine. For this [reason] I said that he takes from what [is] mine and will proclaim [it] to you.

So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he is saying to us, 'A little [while] and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"

So they kept on saying, "What is this that he is saying, 'A little [while]'? We do not understand what he is speaking about!"

Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, "Are you deliberating with one another about this--that I said, 'A little [while], and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me'?

Truly, truly I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will change to joy.

A woman, when she gives birth, experiences pain because her hour has come. But when [her] child is born, she no longer remembers the affliction, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.

And on that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

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

On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

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

Now we know that you know everything and do not {need for} anyone to ask you [questions]. By this we believe that you have come from God."

Behold, an hour is coming--and has come--that you will be scattered each one to his own [home], and you will leave me alone. And I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

I have said these [things] to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world."

Jesus said these [things], and lifting up his eyes to heaven he said, "Father, the hour has come! Glorify your Son, in order that your Son may glorify you--

just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them--everyone whom you have given him.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

I have glorified you on earth [by] completing the work that you have given me {to do}.

And now, Father, you glorify me {at your side} with the glory that I had {at your side} before the world existed.

Now they understand that all [the things] that you have given me are from you,

because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded [them], and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.
