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 he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

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.

If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.

Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

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.

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.

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.

When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.

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.

It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, 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?

Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

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.

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

The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

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.

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.

But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

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.

And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

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

Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

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.

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

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).

Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

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.

Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

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?

Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

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?

And Jesus did such a number of other things that, if every one was recorded, it is my opinion that even the world itself is not great enough for the books there would be.

And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:

But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.

Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.

And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,

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.

In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,

But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;

And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:

The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:

Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:

For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God.

But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.

And he took him by his right hand, lifting him up; and straight away his feet and the bones of his legs became strong,

And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

But the things which God had made clear before, by the mouth of all the prophets, that the Christ would have to undergo, he has put into effect in this way.

So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

And every soul who does not give attention to that prophet, will be cut off from among the people.

To you, first, God sent his servant, blessing you by turning every one of you from his sins.

Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this?

Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
