14 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me.

² In my Father's house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;

³ and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.

⁴ And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.

⁵ Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and 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 unless by me.

⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him.

⁸ Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us.

⁹ Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works.

¹¹ Believe *me* that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works' sake themselves.

¹² Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father.

¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶ And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you.

¹⁹ Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live.

²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.

²² Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world?

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.

²⁴ He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me.

²⁵ These things I have said to you, abiding with you;

²⁶ but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, *he* shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you.

²⁷ I leave peace with you; I give *my* peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear.

²⁸ Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] 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 ye may believe.

³⁰ I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the 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 hence.

15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

² [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴ Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

⁶ Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.

⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.

⁹ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.

¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

¹³ No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.

¹⁵ I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.

¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another.

¹⁸ If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you.

²⁰ Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours.

²¹ But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³ He that hates me hates also my Father.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁵ But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.

²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me;

²⁷ and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.

16 These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.

² They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;

³ and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.

⁴ But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.

⁵ But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

⁸ And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they do not believe on me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;

¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.

¹⁶ A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].

¹⁷ [Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.

¹⁹ Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

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

²⁹ His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.

³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

³² Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

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

17 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.

³ And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

⁴ I have glorified *thee* on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

⁵ and now glorify *me*, *thou* Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

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

⁷ Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

⁸ for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

⁹ I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

¹⁰ (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, and these are 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 as we.

¹² When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³ And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

¹⁵ I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.

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

¹⁹ and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.

²⁰ And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

²¹ that they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²² And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;

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

²⁴ Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am 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,—and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.

18 Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.

² And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.

³ Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?

⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.

⁶ When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.

⁷ He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.

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

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.

¹⁰ Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

¹² The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:

¹³ and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

¹⁴ But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

¹⁵ Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

¹⁶ but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.

¹⁷ The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

¹⁸ But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

¹⁹ The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.

²¹ Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.

²² But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?

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

²⁴ Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁵ But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

²⁶ One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

²⁷ Peter denied therefore again, and immediately [the] cock crew.

²⁸ They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

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

³⁰ They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.

³¹ Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;

³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?

³⁴ Jesus answered [him], Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?

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

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

³⁸ Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.

³⁹ But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

⁴⁰ They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

19 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].

² And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

³ and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.

⁴ And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.

⁵ (Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!

⁶ When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify [him]. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify [him], for I find no fault in him.

⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.

⁸ When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

⁹ and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.

¹² From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.

¹³ Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

¹⁴ (now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!

¹⁵ But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁷ And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;

¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

²⁰ This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

²³ The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.

²⁴ They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

²⁵ And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

²⁶ Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

²⁷ Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

²⁹ There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

³¹ The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.

³² The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

³³ but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,

³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

³⁵ And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

³⁷ And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

³⁹ And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].

⁴⁰ They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.

⁴¹ But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

⁴² There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

20 And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

² She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³ Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.

⁴ And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵ and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

⁶ Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

⁷ and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.

⁸ Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;

⁹ for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

¹⁰ The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.

¹¹ But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

¹² and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³ And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴ Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.

¹⁸ Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.

¹⁹ When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.

²⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

²¹ [Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

²² And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

²³ whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶ And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.

²⁷ Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹ Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.

³⁰ Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³¹ but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

21 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested [himself] thus.

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

³ Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

⁴ And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

⁵ Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.

⁶ And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.

⁷ That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat [on him] (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;

⁸ and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes.

⁹ When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.

¹¹ Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.

¹² Jesus says to them, Come [and] dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³ Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

¹⁴ This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among [the] dead.

¹⁵ When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁸ Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

¹⁹ But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

²⁰ Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

²¹ Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this [man]?

²² Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.

²³ This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee?

²⁴ This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.
