But you shall not be so; but let the greatest among you be as the younger, and him that is chief, as he that serves.

He replied: I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day before you have three times denied that you know me.

Then he said to them: But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that has no sword, let him sell his mantle and buy one.

For I say to you, That even this which is written must be fulfilled in me: And he was numbered with transgressors. For the things concerning me have an end.

And when he came to the place, he said to them: Pray, that you enter not into temptation.

saying: Father, if thou art willing that this cup should pass from me yet, not my will, but thine be done.

And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and came near to Jesus to kiss him.

And Jesus said to the chief priests, and the captains of the temple, and the elders that had come against him: Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber?

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.

And the men that had Jesus in custody mocked him, and smote him.

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying: Give a response; who is it that struck you?

And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am.

And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man turning the people away, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.

and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him;

For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast.

He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison.

But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.

And he released him that for a seditious movement, and for murder, had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded; but Jesus, he delivered up to their will.

And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus.

And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him.

For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.

And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.

And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting their breasts.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance looking on these things.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

And the women that had come with him from Galilee followed after and saw the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.

And while they feared and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek you among the dead for him that lives?

He is not here, but he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was yet in Galilee,

It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, that told these things to the apostles.

But Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves; and he departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.

And it came to pass, that, while they conversed and reasoned together, Jesus himself drew near, and went on with them.

But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognize him.

And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things that have taken place there in these days?

And he said to them: inconsiderate, and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets have spoken!

And it came to pass, while he reclined at table with them, that he took bread and blessed; and he broke, and gave it to them.

But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit.

See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.

And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures,

and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, that as he blessed them, he was separated from them, and carried up into heaven.

This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.

John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.

They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.

And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

When the governor of the feast had tasted the water that had been made wine, (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him:

Every man sets out the good wine first, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is inferior; but you have kept the good wino till now.

And his disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house has eaten me up.

Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

And while he was in Jerusalem, during the feast of passover, many believed on his name, because they saw the signs that he did.

and had no need that any one should testify of man, for he himself knew what was in man.

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit.

Wonder not that I said to you, you must all be born again,

The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.

Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony.

that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.

He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that does evil, hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God.

You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all;

He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.

He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,

And it was necessary that he should go through Samaria.

He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
