And this he said not of himself; but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for that nation;

and not for that nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put Him to death.

Now the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.

They were, therefore, seeking for Jesus, and were saying one with another, while standing in the temple, "What think ye? That He will not come to the feast?"

Now the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where He was, he should show it, that they might seize Him.

The great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

But the high priests consulted, that they might slay Lazarus also;

On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him, and that they did these things to Him.

The multitude, therefore, that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was bearing testimony.

On this account also, the multitude met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, "Ye see that ye are effecting nothing! Behold, the world went away after Him!"

And Jesus answereth them, saying, "The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.

The multitude, therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered; others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."

The multitude, therefore, answered Him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth forever; and how sayest Thou that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is This Son of Man?"

Jesus, therefore, said to them, "Yet a little while is the Light among you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness overtake you; and he that walks in the darkness knows not where he is going.

While ye have the Light, believe on the Light, that ye may become sons of Light" These things spake Jesus, and, going away, He was hidden from them.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Lord, who believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?"

and he that beholds Me, beholds Him Who sent Me.

I have come a light into the world, that every one who believes on Me may not abide in the darkness.

He who rejects Me, and receives not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.

And I know that His commandment is life eternal. What things, therefore, I speak, even as My Father hath told Me, so I speak."

Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour came that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

knowing that the Father gave all things into His hands, and that He came forth from God, and was going to God,

for I gave you an example, that, as I did to you, ye also should do.

I speak not concerning all of you: I know whom I chose; but, that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He that eats My bread lifted up his heel against Me.'

From this time, I tell you before it comes to pass; that, when it comes to pass, ye may believe that I am He.

Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

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

A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; even as I loved you, that ye love one another.

By this shall all know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another."

And, if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again, and will receive you to Myself; that, where I am, ye may be also.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I say to you, I speak not from Myself; but the Father, abiding in Me, doeth His works.

Believe Me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; or, else, believe Me because of the works themselves.

Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

and I will ask of the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, that He may be with you forever;

In that day ye will know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.

He who has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me; and he that loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him."

Judas, not Iscariot, says to Him, "Lord, what has happened, that Thou art about to manifest Thyself to us, and not to the world?"

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I told you.

Ye heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If ye loved Me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; because the Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it comes to pass; that, when it comes to pass, ye may believe.

but, that the world may know that I love the Father, and, as the Father commanded Me, so I do, Arise, let us go hence."

Every branch in Me that bears not fruit, He taketh it away: and every one that bears fruit, He cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.

I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit; because, apart from Me, ye can do nothing.

In this was My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and become My disciples.

These things have I spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

This is My commandment, that ye love one another, even as I loved you.

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

Ye did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye may love one another.

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

but this they do, that the word may be fulfilled, which has been written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'

"These things have I spoken to you, that ye be not made to stumble.

They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, an hour is coming, that every one who kills you will think that he is offering service to God.

But these things I have spoken to you, that, when their hour shall come, ye may remember them, that I told you. And these things I said not to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away; for, if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but, if I go, I will send Him to you,

All things whatsoever the Father hath are Mine; on this account, I said, that He taketh of Mine, and will declare it to you.

Some of His disciples, therefore, said to one another, "What is this that He saith to us, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not; and again a little while, and ye will see Me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"

They said, therefore, "What is this that He saith, 'A little while?'??e know not what He saith!"

Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and He said to them, "Do ye inquire among yourselves about this that I said, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not, and again a little while, and ye will see Me!'

Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: ye will be made sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

A woman, when she is in travail, has sorrow, because her hour came; but, when she bears the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world.

And in that day ye will ask nothing of Me: verily, verily, I say to you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, He will give it you in My name.

Hitherto ye asked nothing in My name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full.

In that day ye shall ask in My name: and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you;

for the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

now we know that Thou knowest all things; and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou didst come forth from God."

Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that ye should be scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

These things have I spoken to you, that in Me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Jesus spake these things; and, lifting up His eyes to Heaven, said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee;

even as Thou gavest Him authority over all flesh, that to all Whom Thou hast given Him He should give eternal life.

And this is the eternal life, that they know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou didst send.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou gavest Me are from Thee;

because the words which Thou gavest Me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew truly that I came forth from Thee, and believed that Thou didst send Me.

And I am no longer in the world; and these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep, in Thine Own name, those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as we are.

While I was with them, I was keeping, in Thy name, those Whom Thou hast given Me; and I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I come to Thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.

and in their behalf I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

that they may all be one, even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.

And the glory which Thou hast given to Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one:

I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and lovedst them, even as Thou didst love Me.

Father, as to what Thou hast given Me, I desire that they also maybe with Me, where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; because Thou didst love Me before the founding of a world.

O righteous Father! and the world knew Thee not; but I knew Thee, and these knew that Thou didst send Me;

and I made known to them Thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which Thou lovedst Me may be in them, and I in them."

Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and saith to them, "Whom seek ye?"

Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; if, therefore, ye are seeking Me, permit these to go their way;"

that the word might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Of those whom Thou hast given Me, I lost none."

and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

And Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;

But Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

They led Jesus, therefore, from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

that the word of Jesus might he fulfilled, which He spake, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die.

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

Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears My voice."

But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?"
