Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

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

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.

So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

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

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

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

"Now my soul is troubled; and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

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

But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can 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 does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,

Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,

Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

Jesus answered him, "You do not know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."

So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

I am telling you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am he.

The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' chest.

Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to inquire who it was he was talking about.

He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' chest, 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.

After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.

For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

Therefore, having received the piece of bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

In my Father's house are many dwelling places. If it weren't so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

If you will ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive; because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

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. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

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

If a man does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I 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 will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

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

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.

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

"I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now.

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of 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 do not know what he is saying."

"And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

I 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."

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jewish leaders that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them; surely they know what I said."

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

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

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"

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

But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man."

Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

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

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your King."

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

Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Therefore many Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

Then they said to one another, "Let us 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.

Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

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

Therefore the Jewish leaders, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been placed.

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