John 11:44-17:26

Sawyer(i) 44 And the dead came forth, bound as to his feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go. 45 (14:6) Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed on him; 46 but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 (14:7) Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim, and said, What do we accomplish? for this man performs many miracles. 48 If we leave him thus all will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation. 49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all, 50 neither consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that all the nation should perish. 51 This he said not of himself, but being chief priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; 52 and not for the nation only, but to bring together into one [body] all the children of God scattered abroad. 53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel to kill him. 54 (14:8) Then Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence to a region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he staid with his disciples. 55 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then they sought Jesus, and standing in the temple said one to another, What do you think? that he will not come to the feast? 57 And the chief priests and Pharisees had given commandment, that if any one knew where he was he should make it known, that they might take him by force. 12 1 (15:1) THEN Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Then they made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those that reclined with him. 3 Then Mary taking a pound of genuine nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. 4 But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii [$42], and given to the poor? 6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it. 7 Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial; 8 the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always. 9 (15:2) A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. 10 And the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also, 11 because many of the Jews withdrew on his account and believed in Jesus. 12 (15:3) On the next day a great multitude having come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel! 14 And Jesus finding a young ass sat on it, as it is written; 15 Fear not, Daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the colt of an ass. 16 His disciples did not understand these things at 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 The multitude, therefore, which was with him, testified that he called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead. 18 On this account also the multitude met him, because they heard that he had performed this miracle. 19 The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, You see that you have gained nothing; behold, the world has gone after him. 20 And there were some Greeks of those who went up to Jerusalem to worship at the feast; 21 these, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. 22 Philip went and told Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life. 26 If any man serves me let him follow me; and where I am there also shall my servant be. If anyone serves me, him will the Father honor. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour; 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified and will glorify it again. 29 Then the multitude standing and hearing, said, It was thunder; others said, An angel spoke to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice was not on my account, but for you. 31 There is now a judgment of this world; the ruler of this world shall now be cast out; 32 and if I am raised on high from the earth I will draw all men to me. 33 But this he said, signifying by what death he was about to die. 34 (15:5) Then the multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ continues forever; and how say you, The Son of man must be raised on high? Who is this Son of man? 35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. Jesus said these things, and went away and concealed himself from them. 37 (15:6) But though he had performed so many miracles before them they did not believe in him; 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he spoke, might be fulfilled; Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 For this reason they could not believe, because, Isaiah said again, 40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I should cure them. 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, many of the rulers believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogues; 43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. 44 (15:7) And Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him that sent me; 45 and he that beholds me beholds him that sent me. 46 I have come a light into the world, that no one who believes in me should continue in darkness. 47 And if any one hears my words and keeps them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He that rejects me and receives not my words, has one that judges him; the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him at the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what to speak; 50 and I know that his commandment is eternal life. What things I speak, therefore, I so speak as the Father has told me. 13 1 (16:1) AND before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own in the world he loved them to the end. 2 And supper being over, the devil having already put it in the heart that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray him, 3 he knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God, 4 arose from supper, and laid aside his clothes, and taking a towel girded himself: 5 Then he put water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6 (16:2) Then he came to Simon Peter; he said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do you know not now, but you shall know hereafter. 8 Peter said to him, You shall never by any means wash my feet. He answered him, Unless I wash you you have no part with me. 9 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head. 10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs only that his feet should be washed, but is wholly pure; and you are pure, but not all. 11 For he knew him that was to betray him; therefore, he said, You are not all pure. 12 (16:3) When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his clothes and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, for I am. 14 If I then, 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 also should do as I have done. 16 I tell you most truly, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor the apostle greater than he that sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. 19 I tell you from this time, before it occurs, that when it occurs you may believe that I am [the Christ]. 20 I tell you most truly, He that receives one that I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him that sent me. 21 (16:4) Having said these things Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, I tell you most truly, that one of you shall betray me. 22 The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on the bosom of Jesus. 24 Then Simon Peter made signs to this man, and said to him, Ask who it is of whom he speaks. 25 He, falling down on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, who is it? 26 Then Jesus answered, It is he to whom I will dip and give the mouthful. Then dipping the mouthful, he took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the mouthful, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. 28 No one of those reclining knew for what purpose he said this to him, 29 for some thought, since Judas had the treasure-chest, that Jesus said to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 He, therefore, having taken the mouthful, immediately went out; and it was night. 31 (16:5) When he had gone out Jesus said, Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him. 33 My 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, I now also say to you. 34 I give you a new commandment to love another, as I have loved you that you also should love one another. 35 By this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. 36 Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered Where I go you cannot follow me now, but you shall follow afterwards. 37 Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you. 38 Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for me? I tell you most truly, a cock shall not crow till you shall deny me thrice. 14 1 (16:6) Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God and believe in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if there were not I would have told you. 3 For I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go and shall prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may also be. 4 And where I go, you know the way. 5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we know not where you go, and how do we know the way? 6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. 7 If you had known me you would have known my Father; and from this time you know him and have seen him. 8 (16:7) Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. 9 Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you I speak not of myself, but the Father continuing in me, he does the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe on account of the works themselves. 12 I tell you most truly, he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father; 13 and whatever you ask in my name I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 (16:8) If you love me, keep my commandments; 16 and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, to be with you forever, 17 the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it beholds it not nor knows it; but you know it, because it continues 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 beholds me no more; but you shall behold me; because I live, you shall live also. 20 In that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. 22 (16:9) Judas said to him, not the Iscariot, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? 23 Jesus answered and said to him, If any one loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our mansion with him. 24 He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's that sent me. 25 (16:10) I have said these things to you while yet continuing with you, 26 but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and remind you of all things which I have told you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives give I to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard that I said to you, I will go away and come to you. If you loved me you would rejoice because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it occurs, that when it occurs you may believe. 30 I will not speak with you much more; for the ruler of this world comes and has nothing in me; 31 but [I have said this] that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as the Father has commanded me, so I do. Arise, let us go hence. 15 1 (17:1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you; 4 continue in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it continues in the vine, so you cannot, unless you continue in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing. 6 If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you. 8 By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; continue in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments you shall continue in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love. 11 I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed. 12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you; 15 I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. 17 These things I charge you, that you love one another. 18 (17:2) If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. 19 If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to 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 which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin. 23 He that hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause. 26 But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me; 27 and you shall also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. 16 1 (17:3) These things I have said to you, that you may not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming when every one that kills you will think he renders God a service. 3 And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father nor me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you of them. But I told you not these things at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, Where do you go? 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you. 8 And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you behold me no more; 11 and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 (17:4) I have many things yet to say to you, but you cannot bear them now; 13 but when he, the Spirit of truth has come, he will lead you in all the truth; for he will not speak of himself, but he will speak whatever he shall hear, and tell you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me, because he shall receive from me and tell you. 15 All things that the Father has, are mine; on this account I said, He shall receive of me and tell you. 16 (17:5) A little while and you shall not see me; and again a little while and you shall see me. 17 Then some of his disciples said one to another, What is this that he says to us, A little while and you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me? and, Because I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore, What is this that he says, The little while? We do not know what he says. 19 (17:6) Jesus knew that they wished to ask him, and said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this that I said, A little while and you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me? 20 I tell you most truly, that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall become joy. 21 For when a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come; but when she has borne the child she no longer remembers the distress, because of joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And you therefore now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no one shall take from you. 23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing; I tell you most truly, whatever you shall ask the Father, he will give you in my name. 24 Till now you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete. 25 (17:7) These things have I spoken to you in parables. The time is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell you plainly of the Father. 26 In that day you shall ask in my name, and I tell you not that I will ask the Father for you; 27 for the Father himself is a friend to you, because you have been friends to me, and believed that I came forth 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 (17:8) Then his disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and say no parable; 30 now we know that you know all things, and have no need that any one should ask you; on this account we believe that you have come forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the time is coming, and has come, that you shall be scattered every one to his own, and leave me alone; and I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 These things have I told you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction; but be of good courage, I have overcome the world. 17 1 (18:1) JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, 2 as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life. 3 And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. 5 And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 (18:2) I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, 8 because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, 10 and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are. 12 When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; 13 but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them. 14 (18:3) I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 15 I ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil. 16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world: 19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth. 20 (18:4) And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word, 21 that all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we are one, 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; 25 and, righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me. 26 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, as I also am in them.
