The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.

and it was upon the rumour of this miracle, that the people crowded to him.

The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"

And there was certain Greeks of those having come up that they might worship at the feast:

there were certain Greeks, who address'd themselves to Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, saying, sir, we would fain see Jesus.

This was his reply-- "The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.

In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

Now my soul is troubled; what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour of agony! And yet it was for this very purpose that I came to this hour of agony.

the people therefore present who heard the noise, said it was thunder: others said, an angel spake to him.

"It was not for my sake that the voice came," said Jesus, "but for yours.

He said this to signify what kind of death He was about to die.

While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light." Jesus said these [things], and [then] he went away [and] was hidden from them.

so that the passage of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, where he says, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

This was why they could not believe; for Isaiah again said,

Isaiah had said these things because he saw the [coming] glory of Jesus, and [so] was speaking about Him.

For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus perceiving that his hour was come, when he was to pass out of this world, and go to the father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And [as] a dinner was taking place, [when] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,

though he knew that the father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and was going to God,

and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.

after that, he poured water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

then coming to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, Lord, what! would you wash my feet?

Peter said to him, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, if I do not cleanse thee, you cannot partake with me.

Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, do not stop with my feet, then, but wash my hands and face too!"

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

(He had knowledge who was false to him; that is why he said, You are not all clean.)

After he had washed their feet, and received his clothes, and was set down again, he said unto them, "Know ye what I have done to you?

if I then, tho' lord and master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

When Jesus utter'd these words, he was troubled in spirit, and said without disguise, I assure you, that one of you shall betray me.

The disciples started looking at one another—uncertain which one He was speaking about.

There was at the table reclining in Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, to ask who it was he meant.

He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

And after the morsel was given, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly.

Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor.

Judas then having received the sop, immediately went out: and it was night.

When he was gone, Jesus said, now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him.

if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

[Then] Judas (not the betrayer) [Note: This was the son of James, See Luke 6:16. He is also called Thaddaeus, See Matt. 10:3], said to Jesus, "Lord, what has happened [i.e., to your original plans to be seen by everyone when you came. See Luke 21:27], that you will reveal yourself to us apostles [only] and not to the [whole] world?"

You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.

I command you to do these things so that you will [demonstrate your] love for one another. [Note: Or this may mean that His command was to love one another, as in verse 12].

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

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what was its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have selected you from the world, that the world hates you.

but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me--'Where are you going?'

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father.

'And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

They recognize now that everything that thou gavest me was from thee;

when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

now Judas, who was to betray him, knew the place: for Jesus and his disciples had frequently assembled there.

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for?”

they answered him, 'Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, 'I am he;' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."

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

(The slave's name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

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

and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?”

“I am not!” he said.

and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

Meanwhile, the head priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His teaching. [Note: This was probably Annas, the former "head priest" who later sent Jesus to the current head priest, Caiaphas. See verse 24].

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."

Now [when] he had said these [things], one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, "Do you reply to the high priest in this way?"

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if [I spoke] properly, why did you hit me?"

& 25] Simon Peter followed Jesus along with another disciple; and as this disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, he passed into the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus,

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, 'Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, 'I am not.'

One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

"Do you take me for a Jew?" was Pilate's answer. "It is your own nation and the Chief Priests who have given you up to me. What have you done?"

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

“You are a king then?” Pilate asked.

“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”

therefore they all cried out again, saying, 'Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

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.

When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

and went again into the Pretorium, and said to Jesus, who was your father? but Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus replied to him, "You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this [reason] the one who handed me over to you has greater sin."

From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'

And He was bearing His cross. And He went out into a place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

"What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

they said therefore among themselves, let us not rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: so that the scripture was fulfilled, which said, "they parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots." this was what the soldiers actually did.

Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'

After this, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, “I’m thirsty!”
