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.

And Jehovah will say to me, They did well in what they spake. A prophet will I raise up to them from the midst of their brethren, like thee, and I gave my word in his mouth, and he spake to them all that I shall command him. And it was the man who shall not hear to my word. which he shall speak in my name, I will require from him.

For he whom God sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand.

Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, In the beginning, he which I spake to you. Many things have I to speak and judge of you; but he having sent me is true; and what things I have heard from him these say I to the world. They knew not that he spake to them of the Father. read more.
Then said Jesus to them, When ye lift up the Son of man then shall ye know that I am, and I do nothing of myself; but as my Father taught me, these I speak. And he having sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always things pleasing to him.

Jesus cried and said, He believing in me, believes not in me, but in him having sent me. And he seeing me, sees him having sent me. I have come a light into the world, that every one believing in me should not remain in darkness. read more.
And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. He rejecting me, and not receiving my words, has him judging him: the word which I spake, that shall judge him in the last day. For I spake not of myself; but the Father having sent me, he gave me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his command is life eternal: therefore what I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.

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.

His disciples say to him, See, now thou speakest with freedom of speech, and sayest no proverb. Now we know that thou knowest all things, and bast no need that any ask thee: by this we believe that thou earnest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Now do ye believe? read more.
Behold, the hour comes, and has now come, that ye be scattered, each to his own, and leave me alone: and I am not alone, for the Father is with me. These have I spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world shall ye have pressure; but take courage; I have conquered the world.

Truly the first word had I made of all things, O Theophilus, of which Jesus began to do and also to teach, Till the day having commanded the sent whom he chose through the Holy Spirit, he was taken up: To them also he presented himself living, after he suffered, by many infallible signs, through forty days seen to them, and speaking the things of the kingdom of God:


And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light. And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; and found not: read more.
For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods.

And having been morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to kill him: And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader.

And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.
Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' overcame. And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done.

And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together. And Peter followed him from far, even to the court-yard of the chief priest, and having entered within, he sat with the attendants, to see the end. And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; read more.
And they found not: and many false witnesses having come near, they found not. And afterwards two false witnesses, having come near, said, This said, I can loosen the temple of God, and after three days build it. And the chief priest, having risen, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these witness against thee? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying, That he blasphemed: what further need have we of witnesses? see, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What seems to you? And they having answered, said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and cuffed him, and struck him with a rod: Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he having struck thee

And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. read more.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little another having seen him, said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour a certain other assured himself, saying, Of a truth this also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock uttered a sound. And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter having come forth without wept bitterly. And the men holding Jesus mocked him, stripping. And having covered him, they struck his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is having struck thee. And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him. And when it was day, the council of elders of the people was gathered together, and the chief priests and scribes, and they brought him to their council, Saying, Art thou Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye would not believe: And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me. From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Art thou therefore the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his month.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. read more.
And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die.


And he yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd, with swords, and sticks, from the chief priests, and the more ancient of the people. And he delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he: hold him firmly. And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him. read more.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what comest thou? Then having come near, they put hands upon Jesus, and held him firmly. And, behold, one of them with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, pulled out his sword, having struck the chief priest's servant, took away his ear. Then says Jesus to him, Turn back thy sword to its place: for all they having taken the sword, shall perish by the sword. Thinkest thou that I am not able to call to my Father for aid, and he will set before me more than twelve legions of messengers? How then would the writings be filled up, that so it must be? In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me. But this has been wholly that the writings of the prophets might be filled up. Then all the disciples, having left him, fled. And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together. And Peter followed him from far, even to the court-yard of the chief priest, and having entered within, he sat with the attendants, to see the end. And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; And they found not: and many false witnesses having come near, they found not.

And they having answered, said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and cuffed him, and struck him with a rod: Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he having struck thee And Peter sat without in the court-yard, and one young girl came to him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. And he denied before all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And he having gone out into the gate, another saw him, and she says to them there, This also was with Jesus the Nazarite. And again he denied with an oath, That I know not the man. And a little after, those standing, having come near, said to Peter, Truly thou also art of them; for also thy speech makes thee manifest. Then began he to anathematize, and to swear, That I know not the man: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, having said to him, That before the cock utter a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone forth without, he wept bitterly.

And quickly, he yet speaking, Judas approaches, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and scribes and the more ancient. And he delivering him up gave them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, this is he; seize him, and lead away safely. And having come, quickly having approached him, he says, Rabbi, rabbi; and kissed him. read more.
And they put their hands on him, and seized him. And a certain one of them standing by, having drawn a sword, struck the chief priest's servant, and took away his ear. And Jesus having answered, said to them, As against a robber come ye out, with swords and sticks to take me Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the writings might be completed. And having left him, they all fled. And one certain young man followed him, having cast a garment of fine linen over his nakedness; and the young men seized him: And having left the fine linen garment, he fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light. And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; and found not: For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods. And Peter being in the hall how, one of the chief priest's young girls comes: And seeing Peter warming himself, having looked upon him, she says, And thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. And he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand what thou sayest. And he went forth without into the vestibule; and the cock uttered a sound. And the young girl seeing him again, began to say to, them standing by, That this is of them: and again he denied. And after a little, again they standing by said to Peter, Truly thou art of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like. And he began to anathematize and swear, That I know not this man of whom ye speak. And of the second time the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake to him, That before the cock utter a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And throwing blame, he wept.

And he yet speaking, Behold a crowd, and he called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? And they about him, having seen that, going to be, said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword read more.
And a certain one of them struck a servant of the chief priest, and took away his right ear. And Jesus having answered said, Allow ye even to this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and generals of the temple, and the elders, having come to him, Have ye come out, as upon a robber, with sword and sticks? I being with you daily in the temple, ye stretched not forth the hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

Then Judas, having taken a band and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lights and torches and weapons. Jesus then, knowing all coming upon him, having come out, said to them, Whom seek ye They answered him, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, he delivering up, was standing with them. read more.
Then, when he said to them, That I am, they went away backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus answered, I said to you, that I am: if then ye seek me, leave these to retire: That the word might be completed which he spake, That whom thou hast given me, I lost none of them. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. And the name to the servant was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, Put thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it Then the band and captain of a thousand and attendants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, And led him away to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the chief priest that year. And Caiaphas was he having connselled the Jews, that it is profitable for one man to be destroyed for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said. And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so? Jesus answered him, If I spake badly, testify of evil: and if well, why strikest thou me? (Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.) And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die. Then came Pilate again into the pretorium, and asked Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee of me? Pilate answered, Much less am I a Jew; thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: What didst thou? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had contended, that I be not delivered to the Jews; and now my kingdom is not hence. Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, again went he out to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault in him. But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews Then cried they all again, saying, Not this, but Barabbas: and Barabbas was a robber.


And the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his month.

And having spit upon him, they took the reed, and struck upon his head.


And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah will come near, and strike Micaiah upon the cheek, saying, Where passed the spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?

And he having said these things, one of the attendants standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, having said, Answerest thou the chief priest so?
