14 `Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

² in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

³ and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

⁴ and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.'

⁵ Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

⁷ if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.'

⁸ Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'

⁹ Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

¹¹ believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

¹² `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

¹³ and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

¹⁴ if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it].

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

¹⁶ and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸ `I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

¹⁹ yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye 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 who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?'

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

²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

²⁵ `These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,

²⁶ and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

²⁷ `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

²⁸ ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

²⁹ `And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

³⁰ I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.

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

² every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

³ already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

⁴ remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

⁵ `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

⁷ if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

⁸ `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

⁹ According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

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

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹⁶ `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

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

¹⁸ if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁹ if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

²⁰ `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

²¹ but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

²⁵ but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.

²⁶ `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

²⁷ and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

16 `These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,

² out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

³ and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

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

⁵ and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?

⁶ but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto 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 unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

¹² `I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear [them] now;

¹³ and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

¹⁵ `All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell 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 unto the Father.'

¹⁷ Therefore said [some] of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith 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 unto the Father?'

¹⁸ they said then, `What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, `Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you 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, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

²¹ `The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

²² `And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

²³ and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

²⁴ till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ `These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

²⁶ `In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

²⁹ His disciples say to him, `Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;

³⁰ now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

³¹ Jesus answered them, `Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

³² and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

17 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

² according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

³ and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

⁴ I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do [it].

⁵ `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

¹⁰ and all mine are Thine, and Thine [are] mine, and I have been glorified in them;

¹¹ and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

¹² when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

¹³ `And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

¹⁴ I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

¹⁵ I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

¹⁶ `Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

¹⁷ sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

¹⁸ as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

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

²⁰ `And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

²¹ that they all may be one, as Thou Father [art] in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

²² `And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to 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 didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

²⁴ `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

²⁵ `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

²⁶ and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

² and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

³ Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'

⁵ they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

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

⁷ Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;'

⁸ Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

¹⁰ Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --

¹¹ Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

¹² The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

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

¹⁴ and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

¹⁵ And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

¹⁶ and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

¹⁷ Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'

¹⁸ and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

¹⁹ The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

²⁰ Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

²¹ why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'

²² And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

²³ Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'

²⁴ Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, `I am not.'

²⁶ One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

²⁷ again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

²⁸ They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?'

³⁰ they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

³¹ Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'

³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

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

³⁴ Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?'

³⁵ Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?'

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

³⁷ Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'

³⁸ Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

³⁹ and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

⁴⁰ therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber.

19 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],

² and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

³ and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.

⁴ Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!'

⁶ When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; 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, for he made himself Son of God.'

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

⁹ and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'

¹¹ Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

¹² From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

¹³ Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

¹⁴ and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!'

¹⁵ and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.'

¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,

¹⁷ and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

²⁰ this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

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

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

²⁴ they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

²⁵ And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;'

²⁷ afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;'

²⁹ a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth;

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

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

³² The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

³³ and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

³⁵ and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;'

³⁷ and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

³⁸ And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

³⁹ and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

⁴⁰ They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

⁴¹ and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid;

⁴² there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.

20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

² she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

³ Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

⁴ and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵ and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

⁶ Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

⁷ and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

⁸ then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁹ for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

¹⁰ The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

¹¹ and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,

¹² one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

¹³ And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;'

¹⁴ and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;'

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.'

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

¹⁸ Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her.

¹⁹ It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;'

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

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

²² and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³ if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'

²⁴ And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵ the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

²⁶ And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!'

²⁷ then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;'

²⁹ Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

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

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

21 After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus:

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

³ Simon Peter saith to them, `I go away to fish;' they say to him, `We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing.

⁴ And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;

⁵ Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `Lads, have ye any meat?'

⁶ they answered him, `No;' and he said to them, `Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes.

⁷ That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

⁸ and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes;

⁹ when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to them, `Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;'

¹¹ Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent.

¹² Jesus saith to them, `Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, `Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord;

¹³ Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner;

¹⁴ this [is] now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead.

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, [son] of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'

¹⁶ He saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, [son] of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my sheep.'

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, [son] of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

¹⁸ verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry [thee] whither thou dost not will;'

¹⁹ and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be following me.'

²⁰ And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

²¹ Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, `Lord, and what of this one?'

²² Jesus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

²³ yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?'

²⁴ this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.

²⁵ And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.
