Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up in order to worship at the feast.

The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

This was so that these words, which Isaiah the prophet had spoken, would be fulfilled [Isa. 53:1], "Lord, who has believed our message? And who has the Lord's power been shown to?"

And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,

"God has blinded their eyes [of understanding] and closed their minds. If He had not done so, they would [be able to] see with their eyes and understand with their minds and turn [to God] so He could heal them [spiritually]."

Isaiah had said these things because he saw the [coming] glory of Jesus, and [so] was speaking about Him.

However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:

are relocated after vs 50] With these words Jesus went away and hid from them.

But Jesus had proclaimed: "He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;

When any one hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were 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,

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

Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe [them] dry with the towel {which he had tied around himself}.

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus replied to him, "The person who has already had a bath is completely clean and does not need to wash anything but his feet. And you disciples are [already] clean [i.e., spiritually], but not every one of you."

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

Then the eyes of the disciples were turned on one another, in doubt as to whom he had in mind.

There was at table one of His disciples--the one Jesus loved-- reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.

So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"

Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

After [Judas had taken] the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly [without delay].”

Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

So [after he] had taken the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.

So when Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now is [the time for] the Son of Man [to be] glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

One who does not [really] love Me does not keep My words. And the word (teaching) which you hear is not Mine, but is the Father’s who sent Me.

Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

But, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, I am [always] doing what the Father commands me to. Let us get up, and leave here." [i.e., leave the room where they had eaten the Passover meal. See 13:1 with 18:1].

I have told you all this so that you may have the happiness that I have had, and your happiness may be complete.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

'He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

But I have told you these things so that, when the time comes [for people to do such things], you will remember that I had warned you. I did not tell you them at the beginning [of my ministry] because I was with you [i.e., to protect you from persecution].

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?

for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

When Jesus had spoken these things, He raised His eyes to heaven [in prayer] and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.

I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

Righteous Father, though the world did not know you, I knew you, and these men knew that you had sent me.

I have made thee known to them, and will do so still; that the love that thou has had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also."

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

Judas then after he had received a bond of men, and ministers of the high priests, and of the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and firebrands, and weapons.

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them.

As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

This was to fulfill and verify the words He had spoken, “Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost even one.”

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

They led Him to Annas first [Note: This man was a former head priest. See Luke 3:2], for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was head priest that year.

It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

Simon Peter followed along with another disciple. [Note: Some think this refers to the apostle John himself, but there is no strong evidence in favor of that conclusion]. Now that disciple was [well-] known to the head priest, so was able to enter his courtyard with Jesus

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.

And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

Meanwhile, the head priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His teaching. [Note: This was probably Annas, the former "head priest" who later sent Jesus to the current head priest, Caiaphas. See verse 24].

why do you question me? ask those who heard me, what discourse I had with them: they know very well what I said.

And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

“If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?”

Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

Now Simon Peter had been standing and warming himself [by the outdoor charcoal fire]. So, someone asked him, "Are you not one of His disciples, too?" Peter denied it, saying, "[No], I am not."

One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

Then, early in the morning they led Jesus from Caiaphas to [governor Pilate's] headquarters. But the Jewish authorities would not enter it, because [if they had] they would have become ceremonially unclean, and could not eat the Passover meal. [Note: This was because they regarded a Gentile house as defiling].

they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

This was to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to indicate by what manner of death He was going to die.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

"You would have had no power whatever over me," replied Jesus, "had it not been granted you from above. On that account he who has delivered me up to you is more guilty than you are."

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.

When Pilate heard that, he had Jesus brought out and had him sit in the judge's seat in the place they call the Stone Platform, or in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was:

JESUS THE NAZARENE

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Now many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus had been crucified was close to the city; besides, the inscription was in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be"??hat the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.

And his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene had stood near the cross of Jesus.

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

Now a vessel full of vinegar had been set there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a hyssop-stalk, and put it to his mouth.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

And another Scripture says [Zech. 12:10], "People will look at him whom they [had] pierced."

Nicodemus, who had first come to Him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, [weighing] about a hundred [Roman] pounds.

But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

So, they placed Jesus' body there, for it was the Day of Preparation and that was the closest grave site. [Note: Since this was the day before the Passover Festival, and the next day was also the regular weekly Sabbath, they had to bury the body before sundown to comply with Jewish restrictions against working on a Sabbath day].

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone [already] removed from the [groove across the entrance of the] tomb.

Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, arrived and went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen cloth lying there,
