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

they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

"Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do 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 doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going.

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

For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again,

Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

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

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."

Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."

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

Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

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

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

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

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

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I.

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

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

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

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

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

Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

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

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is 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 don't know what he is saying."

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

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

Behold, 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. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

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

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 in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one 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.

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;

One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"

Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"

Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.

He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"

Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

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

He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him, "Rabboni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"

Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

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.

This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' breast at the supper and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"

Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn't die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"

This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Akeldama,' that is, 'The field of blood.'

For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;' and, 'Let another take his office.'

"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

For these aren't drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

"Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

"Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself."

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.

Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."

As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?

By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
