Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

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

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

Behold, the hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.

These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.

And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

(and all that is mine is thine, and all that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.

And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.

that they may be all one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;

I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

Father, as to those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?

Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;

that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, As to those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.

and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And they entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should 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 therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest it, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

But ye have a custom that I release some one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.

Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin.

Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on this side, and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great day,) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.

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

but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,

And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among the dead.

Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing there, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first day of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace be to you.

but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat on him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;

Jesus says to them, Come and dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among the dead.

When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee?

This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.

until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;

They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?

Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;

And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)

It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,

but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,

And it shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream with dreams;

And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.

Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.

Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne;

he, seeing it before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption.

Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added to the assembly daily those that were to be saved.

and they recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.

But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man that was a murderer should be granted to you;

And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;

but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.

Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.

And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among the dead, by him this man stands here before you sound in body.
