men fainting from fear and foreboding of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly like a trap.

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be considered the greatest.

But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as one who serves.

He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag; and let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, 'And he was numbered with transgressors'; for what is written about me has its fulfillment."

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done."

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that he be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted.

Two others, criminals, were also led with him to be put to death.

And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.'"

But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at what had happened.

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

As they drew near the village to which they were going, he acted as though he would be going farther,

As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

Nicodemus said to him, "How can this be?"

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God."

Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

"Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

Not that the testimony which I receive is from man; but I say this that you may be saved.

Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?"

Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each one of them to have a little."

And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, left over by those who had eaten.

Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."

If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

Here he is, speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that he is the Christ?

Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.

And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

Then those who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free'?"

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge.

Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?"

But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I would be a liar like you; but I do know him and keep his word.

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

Jesus answered, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents sinned. But that the works of God might be revealed in him,

His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, the man who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in by some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

When Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days."

I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing by, that they may believe that you sent me."

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

If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honor.

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

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

He said this to show by what death he was to die.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

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 among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

I am not speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

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.

Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

"Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.

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

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

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

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

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

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