Jesus said to her, "I myself am Resurrection and Life. He who believes in me will live on, even if he dies,

and no one who is alive and believes in me will ever die. Do you believe that?"

She said to him, "Yes, Master, I do indeed believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

The Jews who were sitting with her in the house, condoling with her, when they saw Mary spring up and go out, supposed that she was going to weep at the tomb, and followed her.

When Jesus saw her weep and the Jews who had come with her weeping too, repressing a groan, and yet showing great agitation,

But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of that blind man, have kept Lazarus from dying?"

So it came about that many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and saw what Jesus did, came to believe in him,

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,

For the high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where he was should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, said,

A great many of the Jews found out that he was there, and they came to Bethany not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

got palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "God bless him! God bless him who comes in the Lord's name! Blessings on the king of Israel!"

There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival,

and they went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and made this request of him: "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

The crowd answered, "We have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain here forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

Jesus said to them, "You will have the light only a little while longer. Go on while you still have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you, for those who go about in the dark do not know where they are going.

in fulfilment of the saying of the prophet Isaiah, "Lord, who has believed our account? And to whom has the Lord's mighty arm been unveiled?"

But Jesus cried loudly, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who has sent me;

and whoever sees me, sees him who has sent me.

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me may have to remain in darkness.

for I have not spoken on my account, but the Father who has sent me has himself given me orders what to tell and what to say.

Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father, but he had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.

Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed to be altogether clean. And you are already clean??hough not all of you."

For he knew who was going to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all of you clean."

I tell you, no slave is superior to his master, and no messenger is greater than the man who sends him.

I do not mean all of you; I know whom I have chosen; but let the Scripture be fulfilled: " 'He who is eating my bread Has raised his heel against me.'

I assure you, whoever welcomes any messenger of mine welcomes me and whoever welcomes me welcomes him who has sent me."

Next to Jesus, at his right at the table, was one of his disciples whom Jesus especially loved.

So Simon Peter nodded to him and said to him, "Tell us whom he means."

He leaned back from where he lay, on Jesus' breast, and said to him, "Master, who is it?"

Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I am going to give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." So he dipped the piece of bread and took it and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I am not the source of the words that I say to you, but the Father who is united with me is doing these things himself.

It is he who has my commands and observes them that really loves me, and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and show myself to him."

Jesus answered, "Anyone who loves me will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and live with him.

No one who does not love me will observe my teaching, and yet the teaching you are listening to is not mine but is that of him who has sent me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.

Anyone who does not remain united to me is thrown away like a branch and withers up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire and burn them.

It was not you who chose me, it is I that have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit??ruit that shall be lasting, so that the Father may grant you whatever you ask him for as my followers.

But they will do all this to you on my account, because they do not understand him who sent me.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

They will exclude you from their synagogues; why, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is doing religious service to God.

But now I am going away to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me where I am going,

just as you have done in giving him power over all mankind, so that he may give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor.

As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true.

"It is not for them only that I make this request. It is also for those who through their message come to believe in me.

Father, I wish to have those whom you have given me with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me, for you loved me before the creation of the world.

Judas who betrayed him also knew the place, for Jesus often met his disciples there.

Then Jesus, as he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came forward and said to them, "Who is it you are looking for?"

They answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." He said to them, "I am he." Judas who betrayed him was standing among them.

Then he asked them again, "Who is it you are looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

This was to fulfil the saying he had uttered, "I have not lost one of those whom you have given me."

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it and struck at the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

and they took him first to Annas. For he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their interest that one man should die for the people.

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

When he said this, one of the attendants who stood near struck him and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "As you say, I am a king. It was for this that I was born and for this that I came to the world, to give testimony for truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth listens to my voice."

Jesus answered him, "You would have no power at all over me, if it were not given to you from above. So you are less guilty than the man who betrayed me to you."

This made Pilate try to find a way to let him go, but the Jews shouted, "If you let him go, you are no friend of the emperor's! Anyone who calls himself a king utters treason against the emperor!"

So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it, to see who gets it." This was to fulfil what the Scripture says: "They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots." This was what the soldiers did.

So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, said to his mother, "There is your son!"

So the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man and then of the other who had been crucified with him.

The man who saw it testifies to it??is testimony is true; he knows that he is telling the truth??o lead you also to believe.

Moreover, it says in another place, "They shall look at the man whom they pierced."

After this, Joseph, of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one, because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him remove Jesus' body, and Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph went and took the body down.

And Nicodemus also, who had first come to Jesus at night, went, taking a roll of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.

So she ran away and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple who was dear to Jesus, and said to them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put him."

Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first went inside too, and saw and was convinced.

Jesus said to her, "Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "If it was you, sir, that carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came in.

Jesus said to him, "Is it because you have seen me that you believe? Blessed be those who believe without having seen me!"

Then the disciple who was dear to Jesus said to Peter, "It is the Master!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he put on his clothes, for he had taken them off, and sprang into the sea.

Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared to ask him who he was, for they knew it was the Master.

Peter turned and saw following them the disciple who was very dear to Jesus, who at the supper leaned back on Jesus' breast and said, "Master, who is it that is going to betray you?"

It is this disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down, and we know that his testimony is true.
