28 I came out from the Father, and am come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father:

29 his disciples said to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly, and speakest no proverb;

30 now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask thee; by this we believe that thou camest out from God: 31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, when ye will be Matt. xxvi. scattered, every one to his own, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me:

31.

33 these things I have spoken to you, that ye might have peace in me in the world, ye will have tribulation; but, be of good courage, I have overcome the world.

CHAPTER XVII.

5 and now, O Father, glorify me thyself, with the glory, which I had with thee, before c.i.1-3. the world was.

6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word:

7 now they know, that all things that thou hast given me, are from thee:

8 for I have given to them the words which thou gavest to me, and they have received them; and they have known, that I truly came out from thee; and they have 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

10 and all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them:

11 and I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am going to thee: Holy Father! keep them in that thy name which thou hast given to me, that they may be

one, even as we are one:

12 while I was with them, I

name which thou hast given to me; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled:

13 and now I am going to thee but I speak these things to them in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world;

15 I ask not, that thou shouldest take them out of the world; but that thou shouldest preserve them from the evil one:

16 they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them with the truth; thy word is the truth:

18 as thou hast sent me into the world, so I also have sent them into the world;

19 and for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified with truth.

20 And I ask not for these only, but for those also who believe on me through their word; that all may be one; 21 as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me:

22 and the glory which thou gavest to me, I have given to

even as we are one:

23 that they may be perfected in one, I in them, and thou in me; that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou lovedst me.

24 Father, who gavest them to me, I will that where I am c. xiv. 4. they also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father! though the world knew thee not, yet I knew thee; and these have known that thou hast sent

c. xvii. 12.

5 they answered him, Jesus of Nazareth he saith to them, I am he and Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them:

6 when, therefore, he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground:

7 then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth:

8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if, therefore, ye seek me, let these go away:

9 that the word which he spake might be fulfilled, " Of "them whom thou gavest me, "I have lost none."

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear; and the servant's name was Malchus:

11 then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink?

12 Then the band and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound

him:

13 and led him away, first, to Annas; for he was father-inlaw to Caiaphas, who was high priest of that year:

14 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was better that one man c. xi. 50. should die, than the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple; and that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest, but Peter stood at the door without:

16 that other disciple, therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spake to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter:

17 then the maid that kept the door saith to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? he saith, I am not:

18 and the servants and the officers, having made a fire because it was cold, stood there, and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

19 The high priest then asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine:

20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews are always resorting; and in secret I have spoken nothing:

21 why askest thou me? ask them who have heard me, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said:

22 and when he had thus

v. 13, 15.

spoken, one of the officers that stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

24 Now, Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high v. 15, 16, 18. priest; and Simon Peter was standing and warming himself there:

25 they said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? he denied, and said, I am not:

26 one of the servants of the high priest, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 Peter then denied again; and immediately the cock crew. 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of Pilate the governor, and it was early in the morning; but they themselves went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover:

29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 they answered and said to him, If he had not done evil, we should not have delivered him to thee:

Take ye him, and judge him according to your law: the Jews, therefore, said to him, We are not allowed to put any c. xix. 10 one to death:

32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what death c. xii. 33. he should die.

33 Then Pilate went again into the hall, and called Jesus; and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, my servants would have striven that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but, my kingdom is not, now, from Rev. xi. 15. hence:

said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find no guilt in him :

39 but ye have a custom, that I should release to you, some one at the passover will ye, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?

40 then they cried out, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas: now, Barabbas was a robber.

CHAPTER XIX.

crucify him: for I find no guilt in him:

7 the Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

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

9 and went again into the hall, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? but Jesus gave him no answer:

10 then saith Pilate to him,

2 and the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and set it on his head, and put on him a purple robe;

3 and they went to him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and struck him with the palms of their hands.

4 And Pilate went out again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no guilt in him:

5 then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe and Pilate saith to them, Behold, the man!

6 when, therefore, the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him: Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and

authority to crucify thee, and have authority to release thee? 11 Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority against me, if it had not been given thee from above; therefore, he who delivered me to thee, hath the greater

sin.

12 From that time Pilate Acts, iii. 13. sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Cesar; whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar:

13 when Pilate, therefore, heard that saying, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat in a place that is called the Stone-pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha: and it was the preparation for the passover:
