If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen, and hated both me and my Father.

But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

But when the Paraclete has come, whom I will send to you from my Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me;

But these things I have told you, that, when the time has come, you may remember that I told you of them. But these things I did not tell you at the beginning, because I was with you.

But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.

I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now.

But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come.

Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world.

You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father.

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine.

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

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me, I have kept; and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the Evil One.

I pray, not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word;

Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not hence.

But you have a custom, that I release to you one during the passover. Are you willing, then, that I should release to you the king of the Jews?

And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorn-branches, and put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple robe,

and he went into the governor's palace again, and said to Jesus: Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.

After this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Every one that makes himself a king, speaks against Caesar

But Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

Then the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger in the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
