Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.

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

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

You have heard me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for the Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe.

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

Every branch in me that bears no fruit he takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

If anyone does not abide in me, he is like a branch that is cast away and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

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.

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

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

This I command you, that you love one another.

"If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.

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

But this is to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

"I have said all this to you so that you will not go astray.

But I have told you these things, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

All that the Father has is mine. Therefore I said that he will take of what is mine and declare it to you.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"

Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Are you asking yourselves about what I meant when I said, 'A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me'?

When a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

In that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

In that day you will ask in my name. And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God."

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world."

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you,

as you have given him authority over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to all those you have given him.

And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

For I have given them the words which you have given me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name the name you gave me that they may be one, even as we are one.

While I was with them, I kept them in your name the name you gave me. I have guarded them, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

that they all may be one, as you, Father, are in me, and I in you; that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.

And the glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one just as we are one:

I in them, and you in me; that they may become perfectly one, and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you sent me.

I have made known to them your name, and will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."

Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go."

This happened so that the words which he had spoken would be fulfilled, "Of those whom you gave me I have lost none."

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

Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would be fulfilled, showing by what death he was going to die.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingship is not from here."

But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."

The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."

Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." This is what the soldiers did.

Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst."

Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

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

For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of his bones shall be broken."

After this Josnt of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

and the napkin that had been around his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself.

For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with 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.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing.

But early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and threw himself into the sea.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

Then the saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

This is the disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

But there are also many other things which Jesus did. If every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

In the first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

And how is it that we hear them, each of us in his own native language?

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

And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before me; for he is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.

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

And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,

he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to hades, nor did his flesh see decay.

This Jesus God raised up again, and of that we are all witnesses.
