John 11:57-16:33 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone should know where He is, he should show it, so that they might seize Him.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone should know where He is, he should show it, so that they might seize Him. ¹² ¹ Therefore six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised out from the dead. ² Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him. ³ Therefore Mary, having taken a litra of fragrant oil of pure nard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. ⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, being about to betray Him, says, ⁵ “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” ⁶ But he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief; and having the money bag, he used to pilfer that being put into it. ⁷ Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that for the day of My burial she may keep it. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but not always do you have Me.” ⁹ Therefore a great crowd of the Jews knew that He is there; and they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised out from the dead. ¹⁰ But the chief priests took counsel, that they might kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus. ¹² On the next day the great crowd having come to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem, ¹³ took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” “And the King of Israel!” ¹⁴ Now Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat upon it, as it is written: ¹⁵ “Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.” ¹⁶ His disciples did not know these things from the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and these things they had done to Him. ¹⁷ Therefore the crowd being with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him out from the dead, continued to bear witness. ¹⁸ On account of this also the crowd met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign. ¹⁹ Therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after Him.” ²⁰ Now there were certain Greeks among those coming up that they might worship at the feast. ²¹ Therefore these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they were asking him, saying, “Sir, we desire to see Jesus.” ²² Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus. ²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, should die, it abides alone; but if it should die, it bears much fruit. ²⁵ The one loving his life loses it, and the one hating his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. ²⁷ Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But on account of this I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.” Therefore a voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” ²⁹ Therefore the crowd having stood, and having heard, was saying, “There has been thunder.” Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.” ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me but because of you. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. ³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to Myself.” ³³ Now He was saying this, signifying by what death He was about to die. ³⁴ Then the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that Christ abides to the age, and how do you say that it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” ³⁵ Therefore Jesus said to them, “Yet a little while, the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness might not overtake you. And the one walking in the darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hidden from them. ³⁷ Although so many of His signs had been done before them, they did not believe in Him, ³⁸ so that word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, that said: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ³⁹ Because of this, they were not able to believe, for again Isaiah said: ⁴⁰ “He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, that they should not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I will heal them.” ⁴¹ Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke concerning Him. ⁴² Nevertheless, indeed many even of the rulers believed in Him, but on account of the Pharisees they were not confessing, so that they might not be put out of the synagogue. ⁴³ For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. ⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, “The one believing in Me, does not believe in Me, but in the One having sent Me. ⁴⁵ And the one beholding Me, beholds the One having sent Me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world as a light, so that everyone believing in Me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. ⁴⁸ The one rejecting Me and not receiving My words has one judging him: The word which I spoke, that will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For I did not speak from Myself, but the Father Himself, having sent Me, gave Me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Therefore what I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.” ¹³ ¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved the own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. ² And supper taking place, the devil already having put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray Him, ³ knowing that the Father has given Him all things into the hands, and that He came forth from God and He is going to God, ⁴ He rises from the supper and lays aside the garments. And having taken a towel, He girded Himself. ⁵ After that, He pours water into the basin, and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶ Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do, you do not know presently, but you will know after these things.” ⁸ Peter says to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet, to the age.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” ⁹ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.” ¹⁰ Jesus says to him, “The one having been bathed has no need to wash, except the feet, but is wholly clean. And you all are clean, but not all.” ¹¹ For He knew the one who was betraying Him; on account of this He said, “You are not all clean.” ¹² Therefore when He had washed their feet and taken His garments, and having reclined again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say rightly, for so I am. ¹⁴ Therefore if I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another. ¹⁵ For I gave you a pattern, that as I did to you, you also should do. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one having sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. ¹⁸ I speak not about all of you. I know whom I chose; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ ¹⁹ I am telling you from this time, before it comes to pass, so that when it comes to pass you should believe that I am He. ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one receiving whomever I shall send, receives Me; and the one receiving Me, receives the One having sent Me.” ²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” ²² The disciples began to look upon one another, being uncertain of whom He is speaking. ²³ There was reclining one of His disciples whom Jesus loved in the bosom of Jesus. ²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter motions to him, to ask who it is about whom He is speaking? ²⁵ Then he thus having leaned on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?” ²⁶ Then Jesus answers, “It is he to whom I will dip the morsel and will give him.” Then having dipped the morsel, He takes it and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷ And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Therefore Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly.” ²⁸ Now none of those reclining knew why He spoke this to him. ²⁹ For some were thinking, since Judas had the money bag, that Jesus is saying to him, “Buy what things we have need of for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ Therefore having received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night. ³¹ Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus says, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him. ³² If God is glorified in Him, God also will glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. ³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek Me, and as I said to the Jews, now I say also to you: ‘Where I go, you are not able to come.’ ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you should love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. ³⁵ By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love among one another.” ³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.” ³⁷ Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You presently? I will lay down my life for You.” ³⁸ Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you will deny 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 there are many mansions. And if not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to the place I am going.” ⁵ Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus says to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, if not by Me. ⁷ If you had known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now you know Him, and have seen Him.” ⁸ Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus says to him, “Am I with you so long a time, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one having seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak from Myself; but the Father dwelling in Me does His works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. ¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing in Me, the works that I do, also he will do. And he will do greater than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And whatever you might ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you to the age— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know. But you know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more, but you see Me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹ The one having My commandments and keeping them, he is the one loving Me. Now the one loving Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love him, and will show Myself to him.” ²² Judas (not Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, then what has occurred, that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and will make a home with him. ²⁴ The one not loving Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine, but that of the Father having sent Me. ²⁵ These things I have said to you while abiding with you. ²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and will bring to your remembrance all things that 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, nor let it fear. ²⁸ You heard that I said 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 Father, because the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass, you might believe. ³⁰ No longer will I speak much with you; for the ruler of this world comes, and in Me he has nothing. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded Me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go from here. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. ² Every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away; and every one bearing fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit. ³ Already you are clean by reason of the word that I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither you, unless you abide in Me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. The one abiding in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from Me you are able to do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and it is burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and to you it will come to pass. ⁸ In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit, and you shall be My disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My Love. ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you and your joy may be full. ¹² This is My commandment, that you love one another as I loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are My friends, if you do what I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from My Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not chose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and you should bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, so that whatever you might ask the Father in My name, He may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world but I chose you out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But they will do all these things against you on account of My name, because they have not known the One having 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 The one hating Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵ But this is that the word having been written in their Law may be fulfilled: ‘They hated Me without cause.’ ²⁶ When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness concerning Me. ²⁷ And you also bear witness, because you are with Me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ I have spoken these things to you that you might not fall away. ² They will put you out of the synagogues; but an hour is coming that everyone having killed you will think it is to offer a service to God. ³ And they will do these things because they do not know the Father nor Me. ⁴ But I have said these things to you, so that when their hour might have come, you may remember that I said them to you. Now I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to the One having sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me; ¹⁰ and concerning righteousness, because I go away to the Father and you behold Me no more; ¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. ¹² Yet I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. ¹³ But when He the, Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming. ¹⁴ He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this, I said that He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you. ¹⁶ A little while and you behold Me no longer; and again a little while and you will see Me.” ¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” ¹⁸ Therefore they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘a little while’? We do not know what He is saying.” ¹⁹ Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Do you inquire among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me, and again a little while and you will see Me’? ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will turn to joy. ²¹ The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. ²² Therefore you also indeed have grief now; 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 will ask of Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you may ask the Father in My name, He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in allegories; an hour is coming when I will speak to you no more in allegories, but I will report to you plainly concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will implore the Father for you. ²⁷ For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have 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 His disciples say, “Behold, now You speak in openness, and You do not speak allegory. ³⁰ Now we know that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.” ³¹ Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? ³² Behold, an hour is coming and has come, when you will be scattered, each to the own, and I, you shall leave alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me. ³³ I have spoken these things to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world.”
