If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

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 were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

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.

But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

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.

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?

Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

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.

So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

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.

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

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.

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

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.

My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

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.

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

My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

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.

But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

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.

So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

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?

Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime 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.

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

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?

Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

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

And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

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.

Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth.

So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

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

But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body.

Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping; and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.

And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

So the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, It is the Lord! Hearing that it was the Lord, Peter put his coat round him (because he was not clothed) and went into the sea.

And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

This is the disciple who gives witness about these things and who put them in writing: and we have knowledge that his witness is true.

And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:

For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.

But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine.

But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;

Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king,

For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

Till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

And a certain man who from birth had had no power in his legs, was taken there every day, and put down at the door of the Temple which is named Beautiful, requesting money from those who went into the Temple;
