I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."

But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

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

Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

So from that day on they plotted to kill him.

Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think?that he is not coming to the feast at all?"

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.

A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

On the next day a great crowd 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 were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

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

I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

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

Because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I tell you that one of you will betray me."

For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things 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, you also must 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 will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

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 who lives in me does his works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; or else believe because of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, 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, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,?

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

You heard how I told you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.

Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

"In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

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

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.

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

"I command these things to you, that you may 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 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.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

"I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.

But I have told you these things, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you things that are coming.

All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"

They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We do not know what he is saying."

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'

Truly, truly, I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

A woman, when she gives birth, has pain, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

"And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

In that day you will ask in my name, and I am not saying 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 forth from God.

Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."

Look, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

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."

Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

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.

All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

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, I kept them in your name which 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 pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

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

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

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.

Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"

that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."

and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
