John 7:33-17:26 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³³ Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me. ³⁴ You shall seek Me and shall not find Me. And where I am, you cannot come. ³⁵ Then the Jews said among themselves, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the Dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks? ³⁶ What saying is this that He said, You shall seek Me and shall not find Me, and where I am, you cannot come? ³⁷ And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." ³⁹ (But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.) ⁴⁰ Then when they heard the Word, many of the people said, Truly this is the Prophet. ⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Does the Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴² Has the Scripture not said that Christ comes from the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? ⁴³ So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him. ⁴⁴ And some of them desired to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him. ⁴⁵ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, Why have you not brought him? ⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never did any man speak as does this Man. ⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Also, have you not been deceived? ⁴⁸ Is it not true that not any of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed into him? ⁴⁹ But this crowd, not knowing the Law, is cursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them), ⁵¹ Does our law judge the Man before it hears Him and knows what He does? ⁵² They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search the scriptures and see that a prophet has not been raised out of Galilee. ⁵³ And they each went to his own house. ⁸ ¹ But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. ² And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him. And He sat down and taught them. ³ And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery. And standing her in the midst, ⁴ they said to Him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned. You, then, what do you say? ⁶ They said this, tempting Him so that they might have reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger, not appearing to hear. ⁷ But as they continued to ask Him, He lifted Himself up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her. ⁸ And again bending down, He wrote on the ground. ⁹ And hearing, and being convicted by conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, until the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰ And bending back up, and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, Woman, where are the ones who accused you? Did not one give judgment against you? ¹¹ And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I give judgment. Go, and sin no more. ¹² Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. ¹³ Therefore the Pharisees said to Him, You bear record concerning yourself; your witness is not true. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record concerning Myself, My witness is true. For I know from where I came, and where I go. But you do not know from where I came, and where I go. ¹⁵ You judge after the flesh, I judge no one. ¹⁶ And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me. ¹⁷ It is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am one who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness concerning Me. ¹⁹ Then they said to Him, Where is your father? Jesus said to them, You neither know Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. ²⁰ Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. And no man laid hands upon Him, for His hour had not yet come. ²¹ Then Jesus said again to them, I go away, and you shall seek Me and shall die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come. ²² Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? Because he says, Where I go you cannot come. ²³ And He said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. ²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I AM, you shall die in your sins. ²⁵ Then they said to Him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, Even the same which I also say to you. ²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge of you, but He who sent Me is true, and I speak to the world those things what I heard of Him. ²⁷ They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. ²⁸ Then Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I AM, and that I do nothing of Myself, but as My Father has taught Me, I speak these things. ²⁹ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things which please Him. ³⁰ As He spoke these words, many believed upon Him. ³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. ³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ³³ They answered Him, We are Abraham's seed and were never in bondage to anyone. How do you say, You will be made free? ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever practices sin is the slave of sin. ³⁵ And the slave does not abide in the house forever, but the Son abides forever. ³⁶ Therefore if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. ³⁷ I know that you are Abraham's seed, but you seek to kill Me because My Word has no place in you. ³⁸ I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you, then, do what you have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered and said to Him, Abraham is our father. Jesus answered them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth which I have heard beside God; this Abraham did not do. ⁴¹ You do the deeds of your father. Then they said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, even God. ⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your father, you would love Me, for I went forth and came from God; for I did not come of Myself, but He sent Me. ⁴³ Why do you not know My speech? Because you cannot hear My Word. ⁴⁴ You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me. ⁴⁶ Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe Me? ⁴⁷ He who is of God hears God's Words. Therefore you do not hear them because you are not of God. ⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered and said to Him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon? ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. ⁵⁰ And I do not seek My own glory, but there is One who seeks and judges. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps My Word, he shall never see death. ⁵² Then the Jews said to Him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead, and you say, If a man keeps my Word, he shall never taste of death. ⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead; whom do you make yourself? ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God. ⁵⁵ Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I should say I do not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I know Him and I keep His Word. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and He saw and was glad. ⁵⁷ Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM! ⁵⁹ Then they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus hid Himself and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and passed on by. ⁹ ¹ And passing by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. ² And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ³ Jesus answered, Neither has this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God might be revealed in him. ⁴ I must work the works of Him who sent Me, while it is day. Night comes when no man can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. ⁶ And when He had spoken these things, He spat on the ground and made clay from the spittle. And He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. ⁷ And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which translated is Sent). Therefore he went and washed and came seeing. ⁸ Then the neighbors and those who had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who was sitting and begging? ⁹ Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him. He said, I am he. ¹⁰ Then they said to him, How were your eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And going and washing, I received sight. ¹² Then they said to him, Where is he? He said, I do not know. ¹³ They brought him who once was blind to the Pharisees. ¹⁴ And it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see. ¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a man, a sinner, do such miracles? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They said to the blind man again, What do you say about him, for he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet. ¹⁸ But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him having received sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see? ²⁰ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But by what means he now sees, we do not know. Or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age, ask him. He will speak for himself. ²² His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. ²³ Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him. ²⁴ Then a second time they called the man who was blind and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ He answered and said, Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that being blind, now I see. ²⁶ Then they said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? ²⁷ He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also desire to be His disciples? ²⁸ Then they reviled him and said, You are his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. ²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know from where this man is. ³⁰ The man answered and said to them, Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know from where He is, and He has opened my eyes. ³¹ But we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. ³² From everlasting it was not heard that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. ³³ If this One were not of God, He could do nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out. ³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, He said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God? ³⁶ And he answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him, and it is He who is speaking with you. ³⁸ And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped Him. ³⁹ And Jesus said, I have come into this world for judgment, that they who do not see might see, and that they who see might be made blind. ⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains. ¹⁰ ¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter into the sheepfold by the door, but going up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber. ² But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. ³ The doorkeeper opens to him, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. ⁴ And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him. For they know his voice. ⁵ And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. ⁶ Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what it was which He spoke to them. ⁷ Then Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸ All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. ⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. ¹¹ I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. ¹² But he who is a hireling and not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. And the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep. ¹³ The hireling flees, because he is a hireling and does not care for the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by those who are Mine. ¹⁵ Even as the Father knows Me, I also know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. ¹⁶ And I have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd. ¹⁷ Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I might take it again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father. ¹⁹ Then a division occurred again among the Jews because of these words. ²⁰ And many of them said, He has a demon and is insane. Why do you hear him? ²¹ Others said, These are not words of one who has been possessed by a demon. A demon is not able to open the eyes of blind ones. ²² And the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem, and it was winter. ²³ And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's Porch. ²⁴ Then the Jews encircled Him and said to Him, How long do you make us doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them, I told you and you did not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. ²⁶ But you did not believe because you are not of My sheep. As I said to you, ²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ²⁸ And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. ²⁹ My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one! ³¹ Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. ³² Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from My Father; for which of these do you stone Me? ³³ The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, "I said, You are gods?" ³⁵ If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken, ³⁶ do you say of Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me. ³⁸ But if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works so that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him. ³⁹ Then they again sought to seize Him, but He went forth out of their hand. ⁴⁰ And He went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John baptized at the first, and He stayed there. ⁴¹ And many came to Him and said, John indeed did no miracle, but all things that John said concerning this One were true. ⁴² And many believed on Him there. ¹¹ ¹ And there was a certain sick one, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) ³ Then his sisters sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick. ⁴ When Jesus heard, He said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God might be glorified by it. ⁵ And Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ Therefore, when He had heard that he was sick, then indeed He remained two days in the place where He was. ⁷ Then after that He said to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again. ⁸ The disciples said to Him, Rabbi, the Jews lately have sought to stone You, and do You go there again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of the world. ¹⁰ But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles because there is no light in him. ¹¹ He said these things; and after that He said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps. But I go so that I may awaken him out of sleep. ¹² Then His disciples said, Lord, if he sleeps, he will get well. ¹³ But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He had spoken of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him. ¹⁶ Then Thomas (he being called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with Him. ¹⁷ Then when Jesus came, He found him already being held in the tomb four days. ¹⁸ And Bethany was near Jerusalem, fifteen stadia away. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she met Him. But Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But I know that even now, whatever You will ask of God, God will give You. ²³ Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha said to Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the Resurrection and the Life! He who believes in Me, though he die, yet he shall live. ²⁶ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? ²⁷ She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who has come into the world. ²⁸ And saying these things, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher has come and calls you. ²⁹ As soon as she heard, she arose quickly and came to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him. ³¹ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, they followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there. ³² Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, seeing Him, Mary fell down at His feet, saying to Him, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ³³ Then when He saw her weeping, and also the Jews who came with her weeping, Jesus groaned in the spirit and troubled Himself. ³⁴ And He said, Where have you laid him? They said to Him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then the Jews said, Behold how He loved him! ³⁷ And some of them said, Was not this Man who opened the eyes of the blind able also to cause that even this one should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus, groaning in Himself again, came to the tomb. And it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who died, said to Him, Lord, by this time he stinks. For it is the fourth day. ⁴⁰ Jesus answered her, Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they took away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. ⁴² And I know that You hear Me always, but because of the people who stand by I said it, so that they may believe that You have sent Me. ⁴³ And saying these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, Here! Outside! ⁴⁴ And he who had died came out, bound hand and foot with sheets, and his face was bound with a cloth. Jesus said to them, Untie him and let him go! ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on Him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and Pharisees gathered a sanhedrin, and said, What can we do? For this man does many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we let him alone this way, all will believe on him. And the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest of that year, said to them, You do not know anything at all, ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish. ⁵¹ And he did not speak this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but also that He should gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. ⁵³ Then from that day they took counsel together that they might kill Him. ⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but He went away from there to a country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and continued there with His disciples. ⁵⁵ And the Jews' Passover was near. And many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, What does it seem to you, that He will not at all come to the feast? ⁵⁷ And all the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that if anyone knew where He was, he should make it known so that they might seize Him. ¹² ¹ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was (who had died, whom He raised from the dead). ² Then they made a supper there for Him. And Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of His disciples (Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him) ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in. ⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has kept this for the day of My burial. ⁸ For you have the poor with you always; but you do not always have Me. ⁹ Then a great crowd of the Jews learned that He was there. And they did not come for Jesus' sake only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus to death also, ¹¹ because many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus because of him. ¹² On the next day, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, a great crowd who had come to the Feast ¹³ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him. And they cried, Hosanna! "Blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord!" ¹⁴ And finding an ass colt, Jesus sat on it; as it is written, ¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the foal of an ass." ¹⁶ But His disciples did not know these things at the first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him. ¹⁷ Then the crowd witnessed, those who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ Because of this the crowd also met Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle. ¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said among themselves, Do you see how you gain nothing? Behold, the world has gone after Him. ²⁰ And there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the Feast. ²¹ Then these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus. ²² Philip came and told Andrew. And again Andrew and Philip told Jesus. ²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. ²⁵ He who loves his life shall lose it. And he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there also My servant shall be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. ²⁷ And My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this cause I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name! Then there came a voice from the heaven saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. ²⁹ Then the crowd who stood by and heard said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to Him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sakes. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. ³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to Myself. ³³ But He said this, signifying what kind of death He was about to die. ³⁴ The crowd answered Him, We have heard out of the Law that Christ lives forever. How do you say, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? ³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness come upon you. For he who walks in darkness does not know where he goes. ³⁶ While you have the Light, believe in the Light so that you may become sons of Light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and was hidden from them. ³⁷ But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they did not believe on Him, ³⁸ so that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. ⁴² Still, however, even out of the rulers, many did believe on Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. ⁴⁴ But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes on Me does not believe on Me but on Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵ And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. ⁴⁶ I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes on Me should not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any one hears My Words and does not believe, I do not judge him, for I do not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who rejects Me and does not receive My Words has one who judges him; the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I speak, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak. ¹³ ¹ And before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come when He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own in the world, He loved them to the end. ² And when supper had ended, the Devil now having put into the heart of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon to betray Him, ³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and went to God, ⁴ He rose up from supper and laid aside His garments. And He took a towel and girded Himself. ⁵ After that He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, You do not know what I do now, but you shall know hereafter. ⁸ Peter said to Him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me. ⁹ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is clean every whit. And you are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For He knew who would betray Him. Therefore He said, You are not all clean. ¹² So after He had washed their feet and had taken His garments and had reclined again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You call Me the Teacher, and Lord, and you say well, for I AM. ¹⁴ If then I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, A servant is not greater than his master, neither is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. ¹⁸ I do not speak of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me." ¹⁹ From now I tell you before it comes, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives Me. And he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. ²¹ When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you shall betray Me. ²² Then the disciples looked upon one another, wondering of whom He spoke. ²³ But there was one of His disciples leaning upon Jesus' bosom, the one whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore signaled to him to ask whom it might be of whom He spoke. ²⁵ And lying on Jesus' breast, he said to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give the morsel when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. ²⁸ But no one reclining knew for what reason He spoke this to him. ²⁹ For some thought, because Judas had the moneybag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy what we have need of for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ He then, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night. ³¹ Then when he had left, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God is glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall immediately glorify Him. ³³ Little children, I am with you yet a little while. You shall seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come, so I now say to you. ³⁴ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. As I have loved you, you should also love one another. ³⁵ By this all shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love toward one another. ³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where do You go? Jesus answered him, Where I go you cannot now follow Me, but you shall follow Me afterward. ³⁷ Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake. ³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for My sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me three times. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know. ⁵ Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You go, and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. ⁷ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And from now on you know Him and have seen Him. ⁸ Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. ⁹ Jesus said to him, Have I been with you such a long time and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. And how do you say, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the very works themselves. ¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on Me, the works that I do he shall do also, and greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you may ask in My name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If you love Me, keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while and the world does not see Me any more. But you see Me. Because I live, you shall live also. ²⁰ At that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹ He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves Me, he will keep My Word. And My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me does not keep My Words, and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you, being present with you. ²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard how I said to you, I go away and I am coming to you again. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I go to the Father, for My Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you might believe. ³⁰ I shall no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of this world comes, and he has nothing in Me. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has given Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go away from here. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. ² Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. ⁵ I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you. ⁸ In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love. ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. ¹¹ I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full. ¹² This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My saying, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other did, they would not have had sin. But now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father. ²⁵ But that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their Law, "They hated Me without a cause." ²⁶ And when the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me. ²⁷ And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ I have spoken these things to you so that you should not be offended. ² They shall put you out of the synagogue. But an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think that he bears God service. ³ And they will do these things to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. ⁴ But I have told you these things so that when the hour shall come you may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things to you at the beginning because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, Where do You go? ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And when that One comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment. ⁹ Concerning sin, because they do not believe on Me; ¹⁰ concerning righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; ¹¹ concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears, He shall speak. And He will announce to you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will announce it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and will announce it to you. ¹⁶ A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ Then His disciples said to one another, What is this that He says to us, A little while and you will not see Me, and again a little and you will see Me? And, Because I go to the Father? ¹⁸ Therefore they said, What is this that He says, A little while? We do not know what He is saying. ¹⁹ Then Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and said to them, Do you seek answers with one another concerning this, because I said, A little while and you shall not see Me; and again a little while, and you shall see Me? ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. And you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ The woman has grief when she bears, because her hour has come. But when she brings forth the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man is born into the world. ²² And therefore you now have sorrow. But I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. ²³ And in that day you shall ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give you. ²⁴ Before now you have asked nothing in My name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in parables, but the time is coming when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but I will show you plainly of the Father. ²⁶ At that day you will ask in My name; and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you, ²⁷ for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from God. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world. Again I leave the world and go to the Father. ²⁹ The disciples said to Him, Lo, now You speak plainly and speak no parable. ³⁰ Now we know that You know all things and do not need that anyone should ask You. By this we believe that You have come forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? ³² Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come, that you will be scattered, each man to his own things, and you will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³ I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. ¹⁷ ¹ Jesus spoke these words and lifted up His eyes to Heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that Your Son also may glorify You, ² even as You have given Him authority over all flesh so that He should give eternal life to all You have given Him. ³ And this is life eternal, that they might know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. ⁴ I have glorified You upon the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵ And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself with the glory which I had with You before the world was. ⁶ I have revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. ⁷ Now they have known that all things, whatever You have given Me, are from You. ⁸ For I have given to them the Words which You gave Me, and they have received them and have known surely that I came out from You. And they have believed that You sent Me. ⁹ I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰ And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And now I am in the world no longer, but these are in the world, and I come to You, Holy Father. Keep them in Your name, those whom You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those that You have given Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world that they might have My joy fulfilled in them. ¹⁴ I have given them Your Word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not pray for You to take them out of the world, but for You to keep them from the evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them through Your truth. Your Word is truth. ¹⁸ As You have sent Me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And I sanctify Myself for their sakes, so that they also might be sanctified in truth. ²⁰ And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word, ²¹ that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. ²² And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one, ²³ I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, that they may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me, for You have loved Me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father, indeed the world has not known You; but I have known You, and these have known that You have sent me. ²⁶ And I made known to them Your name, and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
