When therefore the chief priests and attendants saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify. Pilate says to them, Take ye him, and crucify; for I find no fault in him.


And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Intercessor, that should remain with you forever; The Spirit of truth; which the world cannot receive, for it sees it not, neither knows: and ye know it; for it shall remain with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I come to you.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously. And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me:

But now do I retire to him having sent me; and not one of you asks me, Where dost thou retire But because I have spoken these to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I say the truth to you; it is profitable to you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Intercessor shall not come to you; and if I go, I will send him to you. read more.
And having come, he will convict the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment: Truly of sin, because they believe not in me; And of justice, because I retire to my Father, and ye see me no more; And of judgment, for the ruler of this world has been judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. And when he should come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he should hear, shall he speak: and he shall announce to you the things coming. He shall honour me: for he shall take of mine, and announce to you. All things which the Father has are mine: therefore said I, he shall take of mine, and announce to you.




Also the man of my peace whom I trusted in him, eating my bread, magnified the heel against me. And thou, O Jehovah, pity me and raise me up, and I will requite to them. By this I knew that thou didst delight in me, for mine enemy will not shout over me. read more.
And I, in mine integrity thou didst support me, and thou wilt set me before thy face forever.

If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.


I am Jehovah thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants. There shall be no other God to thee to my face. Thou shalt not make to thee a carved image, and every appearance that is in the heavens above, and that is in the earth beneath, and that is in the water under the earth. read more.
Thou shalt not worship to them, and thou shalt not serve them: for I am Jehovah thy God, a jealous God, striking the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and to the fourth, to them hating me;

And after these the Lord showed forth other seventy, and sent them together two and two before his face into every city and place, where he was about to come. Then said he to them, Truly the harvest much, and the laborers few: implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Retire: behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. read more.
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor shoes: and greet none by the way. And in whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. And if truly the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: and if not so, it shall turn back to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things of them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things set before you. And cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, having gone into its spacious ways, say, And the dust having cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off to you but know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn nigh to you. And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaurn, indeed even lifted up to heaven, shalt be cast down to hades. He hearing you hears me and he rejecting you rejects me; and he rejecting me rejects him having sent me.

And know thou that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful God, watching the covenant and the kindness to those loving him, and to those watching his commands to the thousandth generation: And recompensing to those hating him to their face to destroy him: he will not delay to him hating him to his face; he will recompense to him.

For Jehovah will judge his people, And upon his servants will he have compassion; When he shall see that the hand has failed, And nothing detained and left And he said, Where their gods, The rock they trusted in it? Whose fat of their sacrifices they shall eat; They shall drink the wine of their libations They shall rise up, and they shall succor you, It shall be for you protection. read more.
See ye now, that I, I am he, And no God with me: I will kill, and I will preserve alive; I struck through and through, and I will heal; And none takes away out of my hand. For I will lift up my hand to the heavens, And I said, I live forever. If I sharpened the lightning of my sword, And my hand shall lay hold upon judgment, I will turn back vengeance to mine adversaries, And to those hating me I will requite,

Behold, God will not reject the blameless one, and he will not take hold upon the hand of those doing evil: Till he shall fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with shouts of joy. They hating thee shall put on shame; and the tent of the unjust shall not be.

For the king trusted in Jehovah, and in the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved. Thy hand shall find for all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find those hating thee. Thou wilt set them as a furnace of fire for the time of thy face: Jehovah in his anger will swallow them down, and the fire shall devour them. read more.
Their fruit thou wilt destroy from the earth, and their seed from the sons of man. For they stretched out evil upon thee: they purposed a device, they will not prevail. For thou wilt set them the shoulder among thine being left, thou wilt prepare against their face.

A song of chanting to Asaph. O God, not stillness to thee: thou wilt not be silent, and thou wilt not rest, O God. For behold, thine enemies will be clamorous; and they hating thee lifted up the head. Against thy people they will make crafty consultation, and they will counsel against thy hidden ones. read more.
They said, Come, and we will cut them off from a nation; and the name of Israel shall no more be remembered. For they counseled together with the heart: they will cut out a covenant against thee: The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites. Gebel and Ammon and Amalek; the rovers with the inhabitants of Tyre; Also Assur was joined with them: they were an arm to the sons of Lot Silence. Do to them as Midian, as Sisera, as Jabin, at the torrent Bison: They were destroyed at the fountain of the dwelling: they were dung to the earth. Set them their nobles as Oreb, and as Zeeb: and as Zebah and as Zalmunna, all their princes: Who said, We will inherit for us the dwellings of God. O my God, set them as a wheel; as straw before the wind. As fire will burn the forest, and as the flame will cause the mountains to burn. So wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, and thew wilt terrify them with thy whirlwind: Fill their face with contempt, and they shall seek thy name, O Jehovah. They shall be ashamed and terrified, even to forever; and they shall be put to shame and perish.

Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. read more.
And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved.

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened.

And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name.

And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake.

I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously. And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me:


And likewise also the Spirit takes hold together, and assists our weaknesses: for what we would pray for as we ought, we know not, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And he searching hearts knows what the thought of the Spirit, for according to God he supplicates for the holy ones. And we know that to them loving God, all things work together for good, to them being called according to the setting up.

But as has been written. Which the eye saw not, and the ear heard not, and upon the heart of man it came not up, what things God has prepared for them loving him. And God has revealed to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, and the deep things of God.

These have I spoken, that ye should not be offended. They shall make you excluded from the synagogue: but the hour comes that every one having slain you should think to bring service to God. And these things shall they do to you, for they know not the Father, nor me. read more.
But these have I spoken to you, that when the hour should come, ye should remember them, for I said to you. And these I said not to you from the beginning, for I was with you. But now do I retire to him having sent me; and not one of you asks me, Where dost thou retire But because I have spoken these to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I say the truth to you; it is profitable to you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Intercessor shall not come to you; and if I go, I will send him to you. And having come, he will convict the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment: Truly of sin, because they believe not in me; And of justice, because I retire to my Father, and ye see me no more; And of judgment, for the ruler of this world has been judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. And when he should come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he should hear, shall he speak: and he shall announce to you the things coming. He shall honour me: for he shall take of mine, and announce to you.

And we have such confidence through Christ to God: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency of God; Who rendered as fitting servants of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, and the Spirit makes alive.



I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him.

And now, behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things going to happen to me in it; But that the Holy Spirit testifies in the city, saying that bonds and pressures await me.

For this, I Paul, the imprisoned of Christ Jesus for you the nations, If ye have heard of the distribution of the grace of God given to me for you: That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly, read more.
By which ye, reading, can perceive My understanding in the mystery of Christ,) Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

And also the Holy Spirit testifies to us: for after having said before,

Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth. For three are testifying (in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.




Mine enemies shall not rejoice over me for falsehood: they hating me gratuitously shall pinch the eye.



For I think that God has exhibited us the last sent, as exposed to death; for we were a theatre to the world, and to messengers, and to men. We foolish for Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we weak, and ye strong; ye honourable, and we dishonoured Until this present hour we also hunger, and thirst, and we are naked, and are cuffed, and are unsteady. read more.
And we are wearied, working with our own hands: being reviled, we praise; being driven out, we hold up Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. read more.
And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved. And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. The disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord. Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household?

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name. And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another.

And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.

And they, having heard, lifted up the voice unanimously to God, and said, Sovereign, thou God having made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things which in them: Having said by the mouth of David thy servant, That why were the nations insolent, and did the people practise vain things Kings of the earth stood up, and rulers were gathered together upon one and the same, against the Lord, and against his Christ. read more.
For against the truth were they gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and peoples of Israel,

And Saul, yet breathing out threatening and murder against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the chief priest, He asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he find certain men being of the way, and also women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. And in going, it was he drawing near to Damascus: and suddenly a light from heaven flashed with lightning around him: read more.
And having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why drivest thou me out? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou drivest out: hard for thee to kick against goads.

The man departed, and announced to the Jews that it is Jesus having made him well. And therefore the Jews drove out Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these in the sabbath. And Jesus answered, My Father works till now, and I work. read more.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, for not only did he loose the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name.

And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just. Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.


These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

Then says Jesus to them, My time is not yet present: and your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil.

Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously.

Then says Jesus to them, My time is not yet present: and your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to this festival: I go not yet up to the festival; for my time has not yet been completed.
