because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

The next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

Philip went and told Andrew; and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness 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 sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

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

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,

Jesus answered him, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me."

Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not every one of you."

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

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning close to the breast of Jesus.

Then, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Then after the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in him God is glorified.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward."

Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow, till you have denied me three times.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Are you asking yourselves about what I meant when I said, 'A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me'?

Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you,

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

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." And Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go."

Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

Then the detachment of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him.

Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

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

And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own, or did others say it to you about me?"

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here."

Pilate said to him, "You are a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say what I ama king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.

So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

and he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.

There they crucified him, and two others with him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

By the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!"

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst."

So when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

After this Josnt of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

And Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

So she ran, and came to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."

And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.

Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she 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, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I also send you."

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.

Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you!"

Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

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.

After this Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way he showed himself:

But early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

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

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

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

Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?"

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

Then the saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

But there are also many other things which Jesus did. If every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

In the first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched him go into heaven."
