The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

For this reason the crowd went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this [miraculous] sign.

The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"

And there was certain Greeks of those having come up that they might worship at the feast:

The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.

“Now My soul is troubled and deeply distressed; what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour [of trial and agony]’? But it is for this [very] purpose that I have come to this hour [this time and place].

The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

Jesus responded and said, This voice was not on account of me, but on account of you.

But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.

while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'

This was why they could not believe; for Isaiah again said,

Isaiah had said these things because he saw the [coming] glory of Jesus, and [so] was speaking about Him.

For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

for I have not spoken of my own accord ??the Father who sent me, he it was who ordered me what to say and what to speak.

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

It was during supper, when the devil had already put [the thought of] betraying Jesus into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son,

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself.

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, [in that case, wash] not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”

Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

For He knew who was going to betray Him; for that reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

So Simon Peter motioned to him (John) and [quietly] asked [him to ask Jesus] of whom He was speaking.

He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

And after the morsel was given, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly.

Now it was not clear to anyone at table why he said this to him.

for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.

He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

[Then] Judas (not the betrayer) [Note: This was the son of James, See Luke 6:16. He is also called Thaddaeus, See Matt. 10:3], said to Jesus, "Lord, what has happened [i.e., to your original plans to be seen by everyone when you came. See Luke 21:27], that you will reveal yourself to us apostles [only] and not to the [whole] world?"

You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my Name.

I command you to do these things so that you will [demonstrate your] love for one another. [Note: Or this may mean that His command was to love one another, as in verse 12].

If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what was its own. But it is because you do not belong to the world, but I have selected you from the world, that the world hates you.

but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me--'Where are you going?'

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

They recognize now that everything that thou gavest me was from thee;

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.

Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to happen to Him, went to them and asked, “Whom do you want?”

They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he . And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

This was to fulfill and verify the words He had spoken, “Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost even one.”

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

(The slave's name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

While this was happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."

Now [when] he had said these [things], one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, "Do you reply to the high priest in this way?"

Jesus replied, “If I have said anything wrong, make a formal statement about the wrong; but if [I spoke] properly, why did you strike Me?”

& 25] Simon Peter followed Jesus along with another disciple; and as this disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, he passed into the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus,

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

"Do you take me for a Jew?" was Pilate's answer. "It is your own nation and the Chief Priests who have given you up to me. What have you done?"

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

and went again into the Pretorium, and said to Jesus, who was your father? but Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus replied to him, "You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this [reason] the one who handed me over to you has greater sin."

From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

And He was bearing His cross. And He went out into a place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

"What I have written I have written," was Pilate's answer.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it will be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture, “They divided My outer clothing among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”

Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said in fulfillment of the Scripture, “I am thirsty.”
