I have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do; and now, Father! do thou glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee; for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me; and they received them, and knew surely that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine; and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world; and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father! keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture may be fulfilled. But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you. I have many things to say, and to judge, concerning you; but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I heard from him.

And if any one hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Because I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me hath himself committed to me what I should say, and what I should speak; and I know that what he hath committed to me is everlasting life. What I speak therefore, I speak as the Father hath directed me.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit. Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing. If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done for you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things which I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up; to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Then the highpriest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge. And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maidservants of the highpriest; and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the forecourt; and a cock crew. And the maidservant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them. And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
And they laid hands on him and seized him. And one of those who stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his ear. And Jesus answering said to them, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me. I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [thus it is], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. And all forsook him and fled. And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him. And he left the linen cloth behind, and fled naked. And they led Jesus away to the highpriest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the highpriest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire. And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none. For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together. And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands. And not even so did their testimony agree. And the highpriest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee? But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the highpriest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. Then the highpriest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge. And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maidservants of the highpriest; and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus. But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the forecourt; and a cock crew. And the maidservant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them. And he denied it again.

And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
While he was yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss? And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? read more.
And one of them smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs; when I was daily with you in the temple, ye did not put forth your hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the highpriest. And Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maidservant saw him sitting at the fire, and steadily looking at him said, This man also was with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And in about one hours time, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilaean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crew. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and beat him; and having blindfolded him, they asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck thee? And many other things did they scoffingly say against him. And when it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together, and brought him before their council, saying, If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will not believe; and if I ask, ye will not answer. But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say what is true; for I am. And they said, What further need have we of testimony? For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.

For we have ourselves heard from his own mouth.
Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lanterns and weapons. But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek? They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them. read more.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go. That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost none." Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the servant of the highpriest, and cut off his right ear. And the servants name was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? So the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, and carried him to Annas first; for he was fatherinlaw of Caiaphas, who was highpriest that year. And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was an acquaintance of the highpriest, and went with Jesus into the court of the palace of the highpriest. But Peter was standing outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was an acquaintance of the highpriest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then the maidservant that kept the door saith to Peter, Art thou also one of this mans disciples? He saith, I am not. And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself. The highpriest then asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken plainly to the world; I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, these know what I have said. And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by struck Jesus on the face, saying, Is it thus that thou answerest the highpriest? Jesus answered him, If I spoke what is evil, testify to the evil; but if well, why dost thou strike me? Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the highpriest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. One of the servants of the highpriest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Then Peter denied again; and immediately a cock crew. Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man? They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee. Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die. Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice. Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him. But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews? Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
As soon then as he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye are seeking me, let these men go.

And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.
