I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

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.

So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

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

I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.

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.

I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

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.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

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.

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.

Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

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.

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

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.

Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

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.

And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;

I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

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.

And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

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

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

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?

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in 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.

When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

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?

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

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.

So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

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

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

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 by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

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

So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

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;

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

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.

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

Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

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

Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

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, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

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.

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

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.

After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

So Jesus said to them, Children, have you taken any fish? They made answer, No.

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.

When they got to land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish cooking on it, and bread.

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.

Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

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?

So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?

And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

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

And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.

And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them.
