And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest.

For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was counted with the criminals.' For indeed, [what is written] about me {is being fulfilled}."

[While] he was still speaking, behold, [there came] a crowd, and the one named Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. And he approached Jesus to kiss him.

And [when] those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"

Every day [when] I was with you in the temple [courts], you did not stretch out [your] hands against me! But this is your hour and the domain of darkness!"

And they arrested him [and] led [him] away and brought [him] into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following at a distance.

And a certain female slave, seeing him sitting in the light and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with him!"

And [after] about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, "In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!"

But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about!" And immediately, [while] he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

Now [when] Pilate heard [this], he asked if the man was a Galilean.

And [when he] found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.

And [when] Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him.

[and] said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, [when I] examined [him] before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which {you are making} against him

And as they led him away, they seized Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, [and] placed the cross on him, to carry [it] behind Jesus.

And there was also an inscription over him, "This [is] the king of the Jews."

And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour

[because] [the light] of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart [down] the middle.

Now [when] the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise God, saying, "Certainly this man was righteous!"

And behold, a man {named} Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

(this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, {a Judean town}, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.

And it was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

And the women who had been accompanying him from Galilee followed [and] saw the tomb and how his body was placed.

He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you [while he] was still in Galilee,

And behold, on [that] same day, two of them were traveling to a village {named} Emmaus [that was] sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem,

And he said to them, "What [things]?" So they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people,

But we were hoping that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. But in addition to all these [things], this [is] the third day {since} these [things] took place.

and [when they] did not find his body, they came back saying [they] had seen even a vision of angels, who said [that] he was alive!

Was it not necessary [that] the Christ suffer these [things] and enter into his glory?"

And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he was going farther.

And they said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?"

And they began describing {what happened} on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

And he said to them, "These [are] my words that I spoke to you [while I] was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled."

And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

This one was in the beginning with God.

In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.

A man came, sent from God, {whose name was} John.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize him.

John testified about him and cried out, saying, "This one was [he about] whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.'"

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

These [things] took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

On the next day again John was standing [there], and two of his disciples,

and looking at Jesus [as he] was walking by, he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"

He said to them, "Come and you will see!" So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day (it was about the tenth hour).

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him.

(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)

And on the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from--but the servants who had drawn the water knew--the head steward summoned the bridegroom

And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name [because they] saw his signs which he was doing.

and because he did not {need} anyone {to testify} about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees {whose name was} Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

After these [things] Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and they were coming and were being baptized.

And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified--look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!"

Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),

And it was necessary [for] him to go through Samaria.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

And at this [point] his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you seek?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And [there] was at Capernaum a certain royal official whose son was sick.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

Now [as] he was going down, his slaves met him, saying that his child was alive.

So the father knew that [it was] that same hour at which Jesus said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

After these [things] [there] was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

And a certain man was there who had [been] thirty-eight years in his sickness.

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)

But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn [while] a crowd was in the place.

The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.

And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these [things] on the Sabbath.

So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, [thus] making himself equal with God.

That one was the lamp [which was] burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.

And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.

(Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.)

{Then Jesus, when he looked up} and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these [people] can eat?"

(Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.)

Jesus said, "Make the people recline." (Now [there] was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men reclined, approximately five thousand [in] number.

And the sea began to be stirred up [because] a strong wind was blowing.

On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.

So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

Then [what] if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?

But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)

(Now he was speaking about Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot, because this one--one of the twelve--was going to betray him.)

And after these [things] Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews--the [feast of] Tabernacles--was near.

And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good [man]," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."

However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

{Now when the feast was already half over}, Jesus went to the temple [courts] and began to teach.

Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

So there was a division in the crowd because of him.

Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously--who was one of them--said to them,

they said to him, testing [him], "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery!

Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.
