11 ⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 11 ⁵⁶ They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" 11 ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him. - The Anointing at Bethany  Jn.12.1-8 (Bethany)- Mt.26.6-13, Mk.14.3-9 | KNSB Contents | notes

12 ¹ Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 12 ² There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at table with him. 12 ³ Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 12 ⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said, 12 ⁵ "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" 12 ⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it. 12 ⁷ Jesus said, "Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial. 12 ⁸ The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me." - The Plot against Lazarus  Jn.12.9-11 (Jerusalem)

12 ⁹ When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 12 ¹⁰ So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus also to death, 12 ¹¹ because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus. - The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem  Jn.12.12-19 (Jerusalem)- Mt.21.1-11, Mk.11.1-11, Lk.19.28-38 | KNSB Contents | notes

12 ¹² The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 12 ^{13 [ Ps.118.25-26, Zch.9.9. ]} So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!" 12 ¹⁴ And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it; as it is written,

12 ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and had been done to him. 12 ¹⁷ The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. 12 ¹⁸ The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 12 ¹⁹ The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him." - Some Greeks Seek Jesus  Jn.12.20-26 (Olivet)

12 ²⁰ Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 12 ²¹ So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 12 ²² Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip and they told Jesus. 12 ²³ And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 12 ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 12 ²⁵ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 12 ²⁶ If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honour him. - The Son of Man Must be Lifted Up  Jn.12.27-36 (Olivet)

12 ²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. 12 ²⁸ Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." 12 ²⁹ The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." 12 ³⁰ Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 12 ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; 12 ³² and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." 12 ³³ He said this to show by what death he was to die. 12 ³⁴ The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?" 12 ³⁵ Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. - The Unbelief of the Jews  Jn.12.36-43 (Olivet)12 ³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them.

12 ³⁷ Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him; 12 ^{38 [ Is.53.1. ]} it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

12 ⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 12 ⁴⁵ And he who sees me sees him who sent me. 12 ⁴⁶ I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 12 ⁴⁷ If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 12 ⁴⁸ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. 12 ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. 12 ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me." - Washing the Disciples' Feet  Jn.13.1-20 (Jerusalem)

13 ¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 13 ² And during supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 13 ³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 13 ⁴ rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel. 13 ⁵ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 13 ⁶ He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" 13 ⁷ Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand." 13 ⁸ Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part in me." 13 ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" 13 ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over; and you are clean, but not every one of you." 13 ¹¹ For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all clean."

13 ¹² When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13 ¹³ You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 13 ¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 13 ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 13 ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 13 ¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 13 ^{18 [ Ps.41.9. ]} I am not speaking of you all; I know whom I have chosen; it is that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' 13 ¹⁹ I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 13 ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any one whom I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me." - Jesus Foretells His Betrayal  Jn.13.21-30 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.20-25, Mk.14.17021, Lk.22.21-23 | KNSB Contents | notes

13 ²¹ When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." 13 ²² The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 13 ²³ One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus; 13 ²⁴ so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks." 13 ²⁵ So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?" 13 ²⁶ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 13 ²⁷ Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly." 13 ²⁸ Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 13 ²⁹ Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor. 13 ³⁰ So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night. - The New Commandment  Jn.13.31-35 (Jerusalem)

13 ³¹ When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified; 13 ³² if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 13 ³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am going you cannot come.' 13 ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 13 ³⁵ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." - Peter's Denial Foretold  Jn.13.36-38 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.31-35, Mk.14.27-31, Lk.22.31-34 | KNSB Contents | notes

13 ³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward." 13 ³⁷ Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." 13 ³⁸ Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times. - Jesus the Way to the Father  Jn.14.1-14 (Jerusalem)

14 ¹ "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. 14 ² In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 14 ³ And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 14 ⁴ And you know the way where I am going." 14 ⁵ Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" 14 ⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. 14 ⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."

14 ⁸ Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied." 14 ⁹ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 14 ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 14 ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.

14 ¹² "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. 14 ¹³ Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; 14 ¹⁴ if you ask anything in my name, I will do it. - The Promise of the Spirit  Jn.14.15-31 (Jerusalem)

14 ¹⁵ "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 14 ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, 14 ¹⁷ even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.

14 ¹⁸ "I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you. 14 ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, you will live also. 14 ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 14 ²¹ He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." 14 ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" 14 ²³ Jesus answered 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 home with him. 14 ²⁴ He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

14 ²⁵ "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. 14 ²⁶ But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 14 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 hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 14 ²⁸ You heard me say to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 14 ²⁹ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place, you may believe. 14 ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; 14 ³¹ but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go hence. - Jesus the True Vine  Jn.15.1-17 (Jerusalem)

15 ¹ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 15 ² Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15 ³ You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 15 ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 15 ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15 ⁶ If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. 15 ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 15 ⁸ By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples. 15 ⁹ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. 15 ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 15 ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

15 ¹² "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 15 ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 15 ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 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, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 15 ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 15 ¹⁷ This I command you, to love one another. - The World's Hatred  Jn.15.18-16.4 (Jerusalem)

15 ¹⁸ "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 15 ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 15 ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 15 ²¹ But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me. 15 ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 15 ²³ He who hates me hates my Father also. 15 ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 15 ^{25 [ Ps.35.19, Ps.69.4. ]} It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.' 15 ²⁶ But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; 15 ²⁷ and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.

16 ¹ "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. 16 ² They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 16 ³ And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. - The Work of the Spirit  Jn.16.4-15 (Jerusalem)16 ⁴ But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 16 ⁵ But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 16 ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 16 ⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 16 ⁸ And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 16 ⁹ concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 16 ¹⁰ concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; 16 ¹¹ concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

16 ¹² "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 16 ¹³ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 16 ¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 16 ¹⁵ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. - Sorrow Will Turn into Joy  Jn.16.16-24 (Jerusalem)

16 ¹⁶ "A little while, and you will see me no more; again a little while, and you will see me." 16 ¹⁷ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because I go to the Father?'" 16 ¹⁸ They said, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We do not know what he means." 16 ¹⁹ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?' 16 ²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 16 ²¹ When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world. 16 ²² So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 16 ²³ In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name. 16 ²⁴ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. - I Have Overcome the World  Jn.16.25-33 (Jerusalem)

16 ²⁵ "I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the Father. 16 ²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 16 ²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. 16 ²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

16 ²⁹ His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure! 16 ³⁰ Now we know that you know all things, and need none to question you; by this we believe that you came from God." 16 ³¹ Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 16 ³² The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 16 ³³ I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." - The Prayer of Jesus  Jn.17.1-26 (Jerusalem)

17 ¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 17 ² since you have given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 17 ³ And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 17 ⁴ I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work which you gave me to do; 17 ⁵ and now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.

17 ⁶ "I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world; yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 17 ⁷ Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you; 17 ⁸ for I have given them the words which you gave me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 17 ⁹ I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours; 17 ¹⁰ all mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 17 ¹¹ And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 17 ¹² While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 17 ¹³ But now I am coming to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 17 ¹⁴ I have given them your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 ¹⁵ I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. 17 ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 ¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 17 ¹⁸ As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 17 ¹⁹ And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

17 ²⁰ "I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 17 ²¹ that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 17 ²² The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 17 ²³ I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 17 ²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which you have given me in your love for me before the foundation of the world. 17 ²⁵ O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you have sent me. 17 ²⁶ I made known to them your name, and I will make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them." - The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus  Jn.18.1-11 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.47-56, Mk.14.43-50, Lk.22.47-53 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 18 ² Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 18 ³ So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 18 ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" 18 ⁵ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 18 ⁶ When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. 18 ⁷ Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 18 ⁸ Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go." 18 ⁹ This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom you gave me I lost not one." 18 ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus. 18 ¹¹ Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?" - Jesus before the Council  Jn.18.12-14 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.57-68, Mk.14.53-65, Lk.22.54-55, Jn.18.19-24 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ¹² So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him. 18 ¹³ First they led him to Annas; For he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 18 ¹⁴ It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. - Peter's Denial of Jesus  Jn.18.15-18 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.69-75, Mk.14.66-72, Lk.22.56-62, Jn.18.25-27 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ¹⁵ Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus, 18 ¹⁶ while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 18 ¹⁷ The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." 18 ¹⁸ Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. - The High Priest Questions Jesus  Jn.18.19-24 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.59-66, Mk.14.55-64, Lk.22.66-71 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ¹⁹ The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 18 ²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; I have said nothing secretly. 18 ²¹ Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said." 18 ²² When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?" 18 ²³ Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?" 18 ²⁴ Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. - Peter Denies Jesus Again  Jn.18.25-27 (Jerusalem)- Mt.26.71-75, Mk.14.69-72, Lk.22.58-62 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not." 18 ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?" 18 ²⁷ Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed. - Jesus before Pilate  Jn.18.28-38 (Jerusalem)- Mt.27.1-2, 11-14, Mk.15.1-5, Lk.23.1-5 | KNSB Contents | notes

18 ²⁸ Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. 18 ²⁹ So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" 18 ³⁰ They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over." 18 ³¹ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death." 18 ³² This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.

18 ³³ Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" 18 ³⁴ Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?" 18 ³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?" 18 ³⁶ Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world." 18 ³⁷ Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice." 18 ³⁸ Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him. - Jesus Sentenced to Die  Jn.18.39-19.16 (Jerusalem)- Mt.27.15-26, Mk.15.6-15, Lk.23.13-25 | KNSB Contents | notes

19 ¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. 19 ² And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe; 19 ³ they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands. 19 ⁴ Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him." 19 ⁵ So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!" 19 ⁶ When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him." 19 ⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God." 19 ⁸ When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid; 19 ⁹ he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer. 19 ¹⁰ Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?" 19 ¹¹ Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

19 ¹² Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar." 19 ¹³ When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 19 ¹⁴ Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" 19 ¹⁵ They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." 19 ¹⁶ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. - The Crucifixion of Jesus  Jn.19.17-27 (Golgotha)- Mt.27.32-44, Mk.15.21-32, Lk.23.26-43 | KNSB Contents | notes

19 ¹⁷ So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. 19 ¹⁸ There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 ¹⁹ Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 19 ²⁰ Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 19 ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.' " 19 ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

19 ²³ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom; 19 ²⁴ so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfil the scripture,

19 ²⁵ So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 19 ²⁶ When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 19 ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. - The Death of Jesus  Jn.19.28-30 (Golgotha)- Mt.27.45-56, Mk.15.33-41, Lk.23.44-49 | KNSB Contents | notes

19 ²⁸ After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst." 19 ²⁹ A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. 19 ³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. - The Piercing of Jesus' Side  Jn.19.31-37 (Golgotha)

19 ³¹ Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 19 ³² So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; 19 ³³ but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 19 ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 19 ³⁵ He who saw it has borne witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth - that you also may believe. 19 ^{36 [ Ps.34.20, Ex.12.46, Nu.9.12. ]} For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken." 19 ^{37 [ Zch.12.10. ]} And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." - The Burial of Jesus  Jn.19.38-42 (the garden)- Mt.27.57-61, Mk.15.42-47, Lk.23.50-56 | KNSB Contents | notes

19 ³⁸ After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body. 19 ³⁹ Nicodemus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight. 19 ⁴⁰ They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 19 ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. 19 ⁴² So, because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
