16"I have told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith.G5023G2980G5213G3363G4624G3363G46242For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.G4160G5209G656G235G5610G2064G2443G3956G615G5209G1380G4374G2316G29993This is because they have never known the Father or me.G2532G5023G4160G5213G3754G1097G3756G1097G3962G3761G16914Yes, I'm telling you these things now, so that when they happen, you will remember my warning. I didn't tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer.G235G5023G2980G5213G2443G3752G5610G2064G3421G3754G1473G2036G5213G846G1161G5023G2036G3756G5213G1537G746G3754G2252G3326G52165"But now I am going away to the One who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going.G1161G3568G5217G4314G3992G3165G2532G3762G1537G5216G2065G3165G4226G52176Instead, you grieve because of what I've told you.G235G3754G2980G5023G5213G3077G4137G5216G25887But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.G235G1473G3004G5213G225G4851G5213G2443G1473G565G1063G3362G565G3362G565G3875G2064G3756G2064G4314G5209G1161G1437G4198G3992G846G4314G52098And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.G2532G2064G1565G1651G2889G4012G266G2532G4012G1343G2532G4012G29209The world's sin is that it refuses to believe in me.G4012G266G3303G3754G4100G3756G1519G169110Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.G4012G1161G1343G3754G5217G4314G3450G3962G2532G2334G3165G376511Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.G4012G1161G2920G3754G758G5127G2889G291912"There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.G2192G2089G4183G3004G5213G235G3756G1410G941G73713When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.G1161G3752G1565G4151G225G2064G3594G5209G1519G3956G225G1063G2980G3756G2980G575G1438G235G3745G302G191G2980G2532G312G5213G206414He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.G1565G1392G1691G3754G2983G1537G1699G2532G312G521315All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, 'The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.'G3956G3745G3962G2192G2076G1699G5124G1223G2036G3754G2983G1537G1699G2532G312G521316"In a little while you won't see me anymore. But a little while after that, you will see me again."G3397G2532G2334G3756G2334G3165G2532G3825G3397G2532G3700G3165G3754G1473G5217G4314G396217Some of the disciples asked each other, "What does he mean when he says, 'In a little while you won't see me, but then you will see me,' and 'I am going to the Father'?G3767G2036G1537G846G3101G4314G240G5101G2076G5124G3739G3004G2254G3397G2532G2334G3756G2334G3165G2532G3825G3397G2532G3700G3165G2532G3754G1473G5217G4314G396218And what does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand."G3004G3767G5101G2076G5124G3739G3004G3397G3756G1492G1492G5101G298019Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, "Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me again.G3767G2424G1097G3754G2309G2065G846G2532G2036G846G2212G3326G240G4012G5127G3754G2036G3397G2532G2334G3756G2334G3165G2532G3825G3397G2532G3700G316520I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.G281G281G3004G5213G3754G5210G2799G2532G2354G1161G2889G5463G1161G5210G3076G235G5216G3077G1096G1519G547921It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world.G1135G3752G5088G2192G3077G3754G846G5610G2064G1161G3752G1080G3813G3421G3765G2347G1223G5479G3754G444G1080G1519G288922So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.G2532G5210G3303G3568G3767G2192G3077G1161G3700G5209G3825G2532G5216G2588G5463G2532G5216G5479G3762G142G575G521623At that time you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name.G2532G1722G1565G2250G3756G2065G1691G3762G281G281G3004G5213G3754G3745G302G154G3962G1722G3450G3686G1325G521324You haven't done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.G2193G737G154G3756G3762G1722G3450G3686G154G2532G2983G2443G5216G5479G5600G413725"I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father.G5023G2980G5213G1722G3942G235G5610G2064G3753G2980G3765G2980G5213G1722G3942G235G312G5213G3954G4012G396226Then you will ask in my name. I'm not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,G1722G1565G2250G154G1722G3450G3686G2532G3004G3756G5213G3754G1473G2065G3962G4012G521627for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.G1063G3962G846G5368G5209G3754G5210G5368G1691G2532G4100G3754G1473G1831G3844G231628Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father."G1831G3844G3962G2532G2064G1519G2889G3825G863G2889G2532G4198G4314G396229Then his disciples said, "At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively.G846G3101G3004G846G2396G3568G2980G3954G2532G3004G3762G394230Now we understand that you know everything, and there's no need to question you. From this we believe that you came from God."G3568G1492G3754G1492G3956G2532G5532G3756G2192G2443G5100G2065G4571G1722G5129G4100G3754G1831G575G231631Jesus asked, "Do you finally believe?G2424G611G846G4100G737G410032But the time is coming—indeed it's here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.G2400G5610G2064G2532G2064G3568G2064G2443G4650G1538G1519G2398G2532G863G1691G3441G2532G1510G3756G3441G3754G3962G2076G3326G170033I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."G5023G2980G5213G2443G1722G1698G2192G1515G1722G2889G2192G2192G2347G235G2293G1473G3528G2889
John 17
17After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.G5023G2980G2424G2532G1869G846G3788G1519G3772G2532G2036G3962G5610G2064G1392G4675G5207G2443G4675G5207G2532G1392G45712For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.G2531G1325G846G1849G3956G4561G2443G1325G166G2222G3739G3956G846G1325G8463And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.G1161G3778G2076G2222G166G2443G1097G4571G3441G228G2316G2532G2424G5547G3739G6494I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.G1473G1392G4571G1909G1093G5048G2041G3739G1325G3427G2443G41605Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.G2532G3568G3962G1392G4771G3165G3844G4572G1391G3739G2192G3844G4671G4253G2889G15116"I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word.G5319G4675G3686G444G3739G1325G3427G1537G2889G4674G2258G2532G1325G846G1698G2532G5083G4675G30567Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you,G3568G1097G3754G3956G3745G1325G3427G2076G3844G46758for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.G3754G1325G846G4487G3739G1325G3427G2532G846G2983G2532G1097G230G3754G1831G3844G4675G2532G4100G3754G4771G649G31659"My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.G1473G2065G4012G846G2065G3756G4012G2889G235G4012G3739G1325G3427G3754G1526G467410All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory.G2532G3956G1699G2076G4674G2532G4674G1699G2532G1392G1722G84611Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.G2532G3765G1510G3765G1722G2889G2532G3778G1526G1722G2889G2532G1473G2064G4314G4571G40G3962G5083G1722G4675G3686G846G3739G1325G3427G2443G5600G1520G2531G224912During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold.G3753G2252G3326G846G1722G2889G1473G5083G846G1722G4675G3686G3739G1325G3427G5442G2532G3762G1537G846G622G1508G5207G684G2443G1124G413713"Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy.G1161G3568G2064G4314G4571G2532G5023G2980G1722G2889G2443G2192G1699G5479G4137G1722G84614I have given them your word.

John 18
18After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees.G2424G2036G5023G1831G4862G846G3101G4008G5493G2748G3699G2258G2779G1519G3739G846G1525G2532G846G31012Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had often gone there with his disciples.G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G1492G5117G3754G2424G4178G4863G1563G3326G846G31013The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove.G2455G3767G2983G4686G2532G5257G1537G749G2532G5330G2064G1563G3326G5322G2532G2985G2532G36964Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" he asked.G2424G3767G1492G3956G2064G1909G846G1831G2036G846G5101G22125"Jesus the Nazarene," they replied. "I AM he," Jesus said. (Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.)G611G846G2424G3480G2424G3004G846G1473G1510G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G2476G3326G8466As Jesus said "I AM he," they all drew back and fell to the ground!G5613G3767G2036G846G3754G1473G1510G565G1519G3694G2532G4098G54767Once more he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" And again they replied, "Jesus the Nazarene."G3767G1905G846G3825G5101G2212G1161G2036G2424G34808"I told you that I AM he," Jesus said. "And since I am the one you want, let these others go."G2424G611G2036G5213G3754G1473G1510G1487G3767G2212G1691G863G5128G52179He did this to fulfill his own statement: "I did not lose a single one of those you have given me."G2443G3056G4137G3739G2036G3754G1537G846G3739G1325G3427G3756G622G376210Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest's slave.G3767G4613G4074G2192G3162G1670G846G2532G3817G749G1401G2532G609G846G1188G5621G1161G1401G3686G2258G312411But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?"G3767G2036G2424G4074G906G4675G3162G1519G2336G4221G3739G3962G1325G3427G4095G3378G4095G84612So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.G3767G4686G2532G5506G2532G5257G2453G4815G2424G2532G1210G84613First they took him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest at that time.G2532G520G846G520G4314G452G4412G1063G2258G3995G2533G3739G2258G749G1565G176314Caiaphas was the one who had told the other Jewish leaders, "It's better that one man should die for the people."G1161G2533G2258G3588G4823G2453G3754G4851G1520G444G622G5228G299215Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples. That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest's courtyard with Jesus.G1161G4613G4074G190G2424G2532G243G3101G1161G1565G3101G2258G1110G749G2532G4897G2424G1519G833G74916Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.G1161G4074G2476G4314G2374G1854G3767G1831G243G3101G3739G2258G1110G749G2532G2036G2377G2532G1521G407417The woman asked Peter, "You're not one of that man's disciples, are you?" "No," he said, "I am not."G3767G3004G3814G2377G4074G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G5127G444G3101G1565G3004G1510G375618Because it was cold, the household servants and the guards had made a charcoal fire. They stood around it, warming themselves, and Peter stood with them, warming himself.G1161G1401G2532G5257G2476G4160G439G3754G2258G5592G2532G2328G1161G4074G2258G2476G3326G846G2532G232819Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.G749G3767G2065G2424G4012G846G3101G2532G4012G846G132220Jesus replied, "Everyone knows what I teach. I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple, where the people gather. I have not spoken in secret.G2424G611G846G1473G2980G3954G2889G1473G3842G1321G1722G4864G2532G1722G2411G3699G2453G3842G4905G2532G1722G2927G2980G376221Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said."G5101G1905G3165G1905G191G5101G2980G846G2396G3778G1492G3739G1473G203622Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. "Is that the way to answer the high priest?" he demanded.G1161G846G2036G5023G2036G1520G5257G3936G1325G4475G2424G1325G4475G2036G611G749G377923Jesus replied, "If I said anything wrong, you must prove it. But if I'm speaking the truth, why are you beating me?"G2424G611G846G1487G2980G2560G3140G4012G2556G1161G1487G2573G5101G1194G316524Then Annas bound Jesus and sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.G452G649G846G1210G4314G2533G74925Meanwhile, as Simon Peter was standing by the fire warming himself, they asked him again, "You're not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, saying, "No, I am not."G1161G4613G4074G2258G2476G2532G2328G2036G3767G846G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G846G3101G1565G720G2532G2036G1510G375626But one of the household slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Didn't I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?"G1520G1537G1401G749G5607G4773G3739G5621G4074G609G3004G1492G3756G1473G1492G4571G1722G2779G3326G84627Again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.G4074G3767G720G3825G2532G2112G220G545528Jesus' trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the Roman governor. His accusers didn't go inside because it would defile them, and they wouldn't be allowed to celebrate the Passover.G3767G71G2424G575G2533G1519G4232G1161G2258G4405G2532G846G1525G3756G1519G4232G3363G3392G235G2443G5315G395729So Pilate, the governor, went out to them and asked, "What is your charge against this man?"G4091G3767G1831G4314G846G2532G2036G5101G2724G5342G2596G5127G44430"We wouldn't have handed him over to you if he weren't a criminal!" they retorted.G611G2532G2036G846G1508G3778G2258G1508G2555G302G3756G3860G846G3860G467131"Then take him away and judge him by your own law," Pilate told them. "Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone," the Jewish leaders replied.G3767G2036G4091G846G2983G5210G846G2532G2919G846G2596G5216G3551G2453G3767G2036G846G1832G3756G1832G2254G615G3762G61532(This fulfilled Jesus' prediction about the way he would die.)G2443G3056G2424G4137G3739G2036G4591G4169G2288G3195G59933Then Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus to be brought to him. "Are you the king of the Jews?" he asked him.G3767G4091G1525G1519G4232G3825G2532G5455G2424G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G935G245334Jesus replied, "Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?"G2424G611G846G3004G4771G5124G575G1438G2228G243G2036G4671G4012G170035"Am I a Jew?" Pilate retorted. "Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?"G4091G611G3385G1510G1473G2453G4674G1484G2532G749G3860G4571G1698G5101G416036Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world."G2424G611G1699G932G2076G3756G1537G5127G2889G1487G1699G932G2258G1537G5127G2889G302G1699G5257G75G3363G3860G3363G3860G2453G1161G3568G2076G1699G932G3756G178237Pilate said, "So you are a king?" Jesus responded, "You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."G4091G3767G2036G846G1488G4771G935G3766G2424G611G4771G3004G3754G1473G1510G935G1519G5124G1080G1473G1080G2532G1519G5124G2064G1519G2889G2443G3140G225G3956G5607G1537G225G191G3450G545638"What is truth?" Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, "He is not guilty of any crime.G4091G3004G846G5101G2076G225G2532G2036G5124G1831G3825G4314G2453G2532G3004G846G1473G2147G1722G846G3762G15639But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this 'King of the Jews'?"G1161G5213G2076G4914G2443G630G5213G1520G1722G3957G1014G3767G630G5213G935G245340But they shouted back, "No! Not this man. We want Barabbas!"
