Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
The words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself;
The Father who abides in me performs his works.
Believe me, I am in the Father, and the Father in me:

Or else believe me on account of the works themselves.

12 Truly, I tell you, truly,

[blocks in formation]

He who believes on me, he also shall perform the works that I do: And greater works than these shall he perform, because I am going to the Father.

And whatever you shall ask for in my name, I will do it;

That the Father may be exalted in the Son.

If you shall ask 1 for anything in my name, I will do it.
If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
advocate to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth :-
Which the world cannot receive, for the world neither sees it nor
knows it;

But you know it, because it remains with you and is in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.

A little while yet, and the world no longer sees me;

But you shall see me, since I live and since you shall live.

On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

He who holds fast 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 appear to him."

22 Judas (not the Iskariot) says to him, "Lord, why is it that thou art to 23 appear to us, and not to the world?" 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.

He who loves me not, keeps not my words:

And the word you are taught is not mine, but the Father's who
sent me.

I have spoken of these things to you, while I remain with you.
But the advocate, the holy Spirit which the Father will send in my

name,

He shall teach you all things and remind you of all that I have

told you.

Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you :

Not as the world gives, give I to you.

Let not your heart be troubled, or timid.

You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the 29 Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it comes to pass; so that when it does come to pass you may 30 believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of the 31 world is coming. In me indeed he can claim nothing; but all this happens that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I act even as the Father gave me commandment. Rise, let us be going hence."

Thus Jesus spoke; then, lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said,

That they should know thee, the only real God,
And him whom thou hast sent, even Jesus Christ.]

I have exalted thee on earth,

By accomplishing the work thou hast given me to do:
And now, Father, exalt thou me beside thyself,

With the majesty I had beside thee ere the world began.

I have disclosed thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world

(Thine they were, and thou gavest me them),

And they have kept thy word.

They know now that all thou hast given me is from thee;

For I have given them the words thou gavest me,

And they have accepted them;

And they really know that I came out from thee,

And have believed that thou hast sent me.

I pray for them;

Not for the world I pray, but for those whom thou hast given me. For they are thine

(And all mine is thine, and thine is mine),

And I am exalted in them.

No longer am I to be in the world

Yet these are to be 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 one.

While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast
given me;

Yea, I guarded them, nor did one of them perish-

Except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee.

And I speak thus in the world,

That in themselves they may have my joy complete.

I have given them thy word;

And the world hated them,

For they are not of the world,

Even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou wouldst take them out of the world,
But that thou wouldst keep them from the evil one.

They are not of the world,

Even as I am not of the world.

Consecrate them by the truth:

Thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world,

So have I sent them into the world.

And on their behalf I consecrate myself,

That they also may be consecrated in truth.

I pray not for these alone,

But also for those who through their word believe in me,

That they may all be one :

Even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee,

That they may also be in us-

That the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Yea, the majesty thou hast given me, I have given them;
That they may be one, even as we are one,

I in them, and thou in me,

That they may be perfected in one

That the world may know that thou hast sent me,
And hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.

Father, I would that they-thy gift to me-may be with me where

I am,

To see my majesty which thou hast given me ;

For thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.
Just Father! while the world knows thee not, I know thee,
And these know that thou hast sent me ;

And I have made known and will make known thy name to them,
That the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in thein,
And I in them."

On saying this, Jesus went out with his disciples across the ravine of Kedron to where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas his betrayer was also acquainted with the place; for Jesus 3 and his disciples had often met together there. So, after getting the cohort and officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, Judas comes there 4 with lanterns and torches and weapons. Thereupon, aware of all that was coming upon him, Jesus went out; and he says to them, "Whom do 5 you seek?" They answered him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He says to them, "I am he." (Now Judas his betrayer was also standing along with 6 them.) So when he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to 7 the ground. Once more then he questioned them, "Whom do you seek?" 8 They said, "Jesus the Nazarene." Jesus replied, "I told you that I am he. 9 If then it is I whom you are seeking, let these men go" (that the word which he had spoken might be fulfilled, "Of those whom thou hast given me, I 10 did not lose one"). At this, Simon Peter, who wore a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. (The slave's 11 name was Malchus). Jesus then said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?" 12 So the cohort and the tribune and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus 13 and bound him, and led him first to Annas; he was the father-in-law of 14 Kaiaphas, who was high priest for that year. (It was Kaiaphas who had counselled the Jews that it was for their advantage that one man should 19 die for the people.) The high priest therefore questioned Jesus 20 about his disciples and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world: I have taught always in synagogue and temple, where all the Jews gather, nor have I spoken of anything in secret. 21 Why question me? Question those who have heard me, upon what I said 22 to them. Look, these men know what I said!" Now when he said this, one of the officers who was standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying, 23" Answerest thou the high priest so?" Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, give evidence of the wrong; but if rightly, why beat 24 me?" So Annas sent him bound to Kaiaphas the high priest. 15 Now Simon Peter along with another disciple followed Jesus. disciple was known to the high priest; so he entered the high priest's

That

16 palace along with Jesus, while Peter stood outside at the door. Thereupon the other disciple (who was known to the high priest) went out, and after 17 speaking to the woman who kept the door, brought Peter in. The maidservant therefore who kept the door says to Peter, "But art not thou one 18 of this man's disciples also?" He says, "No." Now the slaves and the officers were standing at a fire of coals which they had made, because it 25 was cold. And Peter also stood beside them and warmed himself. So they said to him, "But art not thou one of his disciples also?" He. denied it 26 and said, "No." Says one of the slaves of the high priest (who was a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off), "Did I not see thee 27 myself along with him in the garden?" At this Peter denied it again. And immediately the cock crowed.

They led Jesus then from the house of Kaiaphas into the praetorium. Now it was early, and they did not enter the praetorium themselves, in order that they might be able to eat the paschal lamb instead of being polluted. 29 So Pilate went out to them and says, "What charge do you bring against 30 this man?" They answered and said, "Were this man not a wrongdoer, 31 we would not have delivered him up to thee." Pilate then said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your law." The Jews said to 32 him, "We have no right to put anyone to death" (that the word which Jesus had spoken might be fulfilled, when he indicated the kind of death 33 he was to die). Pilate then entered the praetorium once more, and 34 calling Jesus he said to him, "Art thou the king of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell thee about me?" 35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the high priests have 36 delivered thee to me. What hast thou done?" Jesus answered, "My

reign is not of this world. Were my reign of this world, my officers would have fought to prevent me from being delivered to the Jews. But, 37 as it is, my realm is not from hence." Pilate then said to him, "So thou art a king!" Jesus replied," Certainly, I am a king. For this have I been born and for this have I come into the world, to bear witness to the 38 truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice." Pilate says to him, "Truth! what is truth?" And after saying this he went

out once more to the Jews and says to them, "I cannot discover any 39 crime in him. But you have a custom that at the passover I should release one man for you. Is it your will then that I release for you the 40 king of the Jews?" At this they cried out again, "Not this man, but Bar-Abbas!" Now Bar-Abbas was a robber.

191,2

Now after that Pilate took and scourged Jesus. And the soldiers plaited a wreath out of some thorns and put it on his head; they also 3 arrayed him in a purple robe, and kept going up to him and saying, 4 "Hail, king of the Jews!" giving him blows. And Pilate once more went outside and says to them, "Look, I am bringing him out 5 to you, to let you know that I cannot discover any crime in him!" So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the purple robe. And 6 Pilate says to them, "Here is the man!" So, on seeing him, the high priests and attendants clamoured, "Crucify him! crucify him!" Pilate says to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him. As for me, I 7 cannot discover any crime in him." The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by the law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be 8 God's son." So when Pilate heard this saying, he was still more afraid; 9 and again he entered the praetorium and says to Jesus, "Whence art 10 thou?" But Jesus made no reply to him. Pilate then says to him, "Thou wilt not speak to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release

11 thee and power to crucify thee?" Jesus answered him, "Thou wouldst have no power at all over me, had it not been given thee from above; 12 therefore he has the greater sin who delivered me to thee." Upon this Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews kept clamouring, "If thou dost release this man, thou art no friend of Caesar's: everyone who 13 makes himself out to be a king, is a rebel against Caesar." On hearing these words then, Pilate brought Jesus outside and sat down on the tribunal at a place called "The tesselated pavement" (in Hebrew it is 14 "Gabbatha"). Now it was the day of preparation for the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Look, it is your 15 king!" At that they clamoured, "Away with him! away with him! crucify him!" Pilate says to them, "Am I to crucify your king?" The 16 high priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." Now after that he delivered him up to them to be crucified.

17

So they took Jesus; and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, to what is called "The place of a skull" (which in Hebrew is called 18 "Golgotha"), and there they crucified him, and along with him two others, 19 one on each side, Jesus being in the middle. Pilate also wrote a title

and had it put upon the cross; and what was written was, JESUS THE 20 NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then was read by many of the Jews, as the place where Jesus was crucified was near the 21 city, and as the writing was in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Write not, "The King of the Jews'; 22 write that he said, I am King of the Jews."" Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

23

Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and made them into four parts, one part for every soldier. They also took the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the 24 top. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, let us cast lots to decide whose it is to be"-that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They distributed my garments among them,

And over my apparel they cast lots.

25 This then was what the soldiers did.

Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Klopas, also 26 Mary of Magdala. So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he says to his mother, "Woman, there is thy son!" 27 Then he says to the disciple, "Son, there is thy mother!" And from that 28 hour the disciple took her to his home. After this, aware that

all had now been finished, Jesus says-in order that the scripture might 29 be accomplished-"I thirst." A vessel full of vinegar was lying there.

So they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon a lance and held it to his 30 mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is 31 finished." He bent his head and gave up his spirit.

As it was the day of preparation, then, in order to prevent the bodies remaining upon the cross during the sabbath (for that sabbath-day was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have their legs broken and the bodies taken 32 away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of 33 the other man who was crucified along with him. However, when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his 34 legs; but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance, and im35 mediately there came out blood and water. And he who saw it has borne witness, and his witness is true (yea, he knows he is telling the 36 truth), that you also may believe. For this came to pass that the 1 Reading ὑσσῷ.
