The Passover with the Disciples

17 (A)Now on (B)the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, (C)‘The Teacher says, (D)My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

20 (E)When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve.[a] 21 And as they were eating, (F)he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23 He answered, (G)“He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes (H)as it is written of him, but (I)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (J)It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, (K)Rabbi?” He said to him, (L)“You have said so.”

Institution of the Lord's Supper

26 (M)Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and (N)after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; (O)this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he (P)had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for (Q)this is my (R)blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for (S)many (T)for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you (U)in my Father's kingdom.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

30 (V)And when they had sung a hymn, (W)they went out to (X)the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will (Y)strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised up, (Z)I will go before you to Galilee.” 33 (AA)Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 (AB)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, (AC)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 (AD)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

36 (AE)Then Jesus went with them (AF)to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” 37 And taking with him (AG)Peter and (AH)the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, (AI)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and (AJ)watch[c] with me.” 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face (AK)and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let (AL)this cup pass from me; (AM)nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 (AN)Watch and (AO)pray that you (AP)may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, (AQ)your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for (AR)their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for (AS)the third time, saying the same words again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.[d] See, (AT)the hour is at hand, and (AU)the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 (AV)While he was still speaking, (AW)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, (AX)Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 50 Jesus said to him, (AY)“Friend, (AZ)do what you came to do.”[e] Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his (BA)sword and struck the servant[f] of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For (BB)all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 (BC)Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me (BD)more than twelve (BE)legions of angels? 54 (BF)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day (BG)I sat in the temple (BH)teaching, and you did not seize me. 56 But (BI)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” (BJ)Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Jesus Before Caiaphas and the Council

57 (BK)Then (BL)those who had seized Jesus led him to (BM)Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. 58 And (BN)Peter was following him at a distance, as far as (BO)the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with (BP)the guards to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests and the whole council[g] (BQ)were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60 but they found none, (BR)though many false witnesses came forward. At last (BS)two came forward 61 and said, “This man said, (BT)‘I am able to (BU)destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” 62 And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[h] 63 (BV)But Jesus remained silent. (BW)And the high priest said to him, (BX)“I adjure you by (BY)the living God, (BZ)tell us if you are (CA)the Christ, (CB)the Son of God.” 64 Jesus said to him, (CC)“You have said so. But I tell you, from now on (CD)you will see the Son of Man (CE)seated at the right hand of Power and (CF)coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest (CG)tore his robes and said, (CH)“He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your judgment?” They answered, (CI)“He deserves death.” 67 Then (CJ)they spit in his face (CK)and (CL)struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you (CM)Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

Peter Denies Jesus

69 (CN)Now Peter was sitting outside (CO)in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” 71 And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus (CP)of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73 After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for (CQ)your accent betrays you.” 74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, (CR)“Before the rooster crows, you will (CS)deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

The Last Supper(A)(B)(C)

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(D) the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”(E)

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time(F) is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”(G)

22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.(H) 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.(I) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him,(J) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”(K)

Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(L) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27 Then he took a cup,(M) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant,(N) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(O) 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you(P) in my Father’s kingdom.”

30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(Q)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(R)

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(S) for it is written:

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[b](T)

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(U)

33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(V)

35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(W) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Gethsemane(X)

36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(Y) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(Z) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(AA)

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(AB) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(AC)

40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(AD) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(AE) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(AF)

43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour(AG) has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Jesus Arrested(AH)

47 While he was still speaking, Judas,(AI) one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”(AJ) and kissed him.

50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[c](AK)

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(AL) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(AM)

52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(AN) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(AO) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(AP) that say it must happen in this way?”

55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(AQ) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(AR) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(AS)

57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas(AT) the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. 58 But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest.(AU) He entered and sat down with the guards(AV) to see the outcome.

59 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(AW) were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 60 But they did not find any, though many false witnesses(AX) came forward.

Finally two(AY) came forward 61 and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”(AZ)

62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 63 But Jesus remained silent.(BA)

The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath(BB) by the living God:(BC) Tell us if you are the Messiah,(BD) the Son of God.”(BE)

64 “You have said so,”(BF) Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One(BG) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”[d](BH)

65 Then the high priest tore his clothes(BI) and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”

“He is worthy of death,”(BJ) they answered.

67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.(BK) Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”(BL)

Peter Disowns Jesus(BM)

69 Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said.

70 But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

71 Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!”

73 After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”

74 Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!”

Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(BN) And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Passover with the Disciples

12 (A)And on (B)the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they (C)sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 And he sent (D)two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, (E)‘The Teacher says, Where is (F)my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you (G)a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

17 (H)And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, (I)Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, (J)one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is (K)one of the twelve, (L)one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man goes (M)as it is written of him, but (N)woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! (O)It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

Institution of the Lord's Supper

22 (P)And as they were eating, he took bread, and after (Q)blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; (R)this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had (S)given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, (T)“This is my (U)blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for (V)many. 25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

26 (W)And when they had sung a hymn, (X)they went out to (Y)the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will (Z)strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, (AA)I will go before you to Galilee.” 29 (AB)Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And (AC)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before (AD)the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But (AE)he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

32 (AF)And they went (AG)to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him (AH)Peter and James and John, and began (AI)to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, (AJ)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and (AK)watch.”[b] 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground (AL)and prayed that, if it were possible, (AM)the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, (AN)“Abba, Father, (AO)all things are possible for you. Remove (AP)this cup from me. (AQ)Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 (AR)Watch and (AS)pray that you may not (AT)enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, (AU)saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for (AV)their eyes were very heavy, and (AW)they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? (AX)It is enough; (AY)the hour has come. (AZ)The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

43 (BA)And immediately, while he was still speaking, (BB)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, (BC)“Rabbi!” And he (BD)kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his (BE)sword and struck the servant[c] of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 (BF)Day after day I was with you in the temple (BG)teaching, and you did not seize me. But (BH)let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 (BI)And they all left him and fled.

A Young Man Flees

51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but (BJ)a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Jesus Before the Council

53 (BK)And (BL)they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 (BM)And (BN)Peter had followed him at a distance, (BO)right into (BP)the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with (BQ)the guards and (BR)warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole council[d] were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 (BS)For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony (BT)did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 (BU)“We heard him say, (BV)‘I will destroy this temple (BW)that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, (BX)not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”[e] 61 But (BY)he remained silent and made no answer. (BZ)Again the high priest asked him, “Are you (CA)the Christ, the Son of (CB)the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and (CC)you will see the Son of Man (CD)seated at the right hand of Power, and (CE)coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest (CF)tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard (CG)his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they (CH)all condemned him as (CI)deserving death. 65 (CJ)And some began (CK)to spit on him and (CL)to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him (CM)with blows.

Peter Denies Jesus

66 (CN)And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter (CO)warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway[f] and (CP)the rooster crowed.[g] 69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed (CQ)a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, (CR)“Before the rooster crows twice, you will (CS)deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept.[h]

The Last Supper(A)(B)

12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb,(C) Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs,(D) furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me.(E) 21 The Son of Man(F) will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(G) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.(H)

24 “This is my blood of the[a] covenant,(I) which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”(J)

26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(K)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(L)

27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep will be scattered.’[b](M)

28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(N)

29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”

30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[c] you yourself will disown me three times.”(O)

31 But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you,(P) I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.

Gethsemane(Q)

32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John(R) along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,”(S) he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour(T) might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[d] Father,”(U) he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup(V) from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”(W)

37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(X) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(Y)

39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.

41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour(Z) has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Jesus Arrested(AA)

43 Just as he was speaking, Judas,(AB) one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.

44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!”(AC) and kissed him. 46 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts,(AD) and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”(AE) 50 Then everyone deserted him and fled.(AF)

51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(AG)(AH)

53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest.(AI) There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.(AJ)

55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(AK) were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.

57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,(AL) not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.

60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.(AM)

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”(AN)

62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”(AO)

63 The high priest tore his clothes.(AP) “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”

They all condemned him as worthy of death.(AQ) 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.(AR)

Peter Disowns Jesus(AS)

66 While Peter was below in the courtyard,(AT) one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself,(AU) she looked closely at him.

“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,”(AV) she said.

68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,”(AW) he said, and went out into the entryway.[e]

69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.(AX)

After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”(AY)

71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”(AZ)

72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[f] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[g] you will disown me three times.”(BA) And he broke down and wept.

The Passover with the Disciples

(A)Then came (B)the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus[a] sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 11 and tell the master of the house, (C)‘The Teacher says to you, Where is (D)the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he will show you (E)a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” 13 And they went and found it (F)just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

14 (G)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it[b] (H)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And he took a cup, and (I)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 (J)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine (K)until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 (L)And he took bread, and (M)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, (N)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, (O)“This cup that is poured out for you is (P)the new (Q)covenant in my blood.[c] 21 (R)But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is (S)with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes (T)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

24 (U)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 (V)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles (W)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 (X)But not so with you. Rather, let (Y)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, (Z)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But (AA)I am among you as the one who serves.

28 “You are those who have stayed with me (AB)in my trials, 29 and (AC)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 (AD)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and (AE)sit on thrones judging (AF)the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (AG)Satan demanded to have you,[d] (AH)that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but (AI)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, (AJ)strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter[e] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both (AK)to prison and (AL)to death.” 34 (AM)Jesus[f] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

35 And he said to them, (AN)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that (AO)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: (AP)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For (AQ)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two (AR)swords.” And he said to them, (AS)“It is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 (AT)And he came out and went, (AU)as was his custom, to (AV)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 (AW)And when he came to (AX)the place, he said to them, (AY)“Pray that you may not (AZ)enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and (BA)knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, (BB)“Father, if you are willing, remove (BC)this cup from me. (BD)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him (BE)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And (BF)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[g] 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and (BG)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 (BH)While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called (BI)Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike (BJ)with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant[h] of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and (BK)officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When (BL)I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is (BM)your hour, and (BN)the power of darkness.”

Peter Denies Jesus

54 (BO)Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, (BP)and Peter was following at a distance. 55 (BQ)And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of (BR)the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59 And after an interval of about an hour still another (BS)insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and (BT)looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, (BU)“Before the rooster crows today, you will (BV)deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.

Jesus Is Mocked

63 (BW)Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64 (BX)They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, (BY)“Prophesy! (BZ)Who is it that struck you?” 65 And they said many other things against him, (CA)blaspheming him.

Jesus Before the Council

66 (CB)When day came, (CC)the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their (CD)council, and they (CE)said, 67 (CF)“If you are (CG)the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated (CH)at the right hand of the power of God.” 70 So they all said, “Are you (CI)the Son of God, then?” And he said to them, (CJ)“You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips.”

The Last Supper(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.(F) Jesus sent Peter and John,(G) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.(H) So they prepared the Passover.

14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles(I) reclined at the table.(J) 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(K) 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”(L)

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,(M) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(N) in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a] 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.(O) 22 The Son of Man(P) will go as it has been decreed.(Q) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(R) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(S) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(T) 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.(U) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(V) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(W) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(X)

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked(Y) to sift all of you as wheat.(Z) 32 But I have prayed for you,(AA) Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”(AB)

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”(AC)

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(AD) did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b];(AE) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives(AF)

39 Jesus went out as usual(AG) to the Mount of Olives,(AH) and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”(AI) 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down(AJ) and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup(AK) from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”(AL) 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.(AM) 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]

45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”(AN)

Jesus Arrested(AO)

47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”(AP) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard,(AQ) and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts,(AR) and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour(AS)—when darkness reigns.”(AT)

Peter Disowns Jesus(AU)

54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(AV) Peter followed at a distance.(AW) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”

57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.

58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”

“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.

59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(AX)

60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(AY) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(AZ) 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

The Guards Mock Jesus(BA)

63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.(BB)

Jesus Before Pilate and Herod(BC)(BD)(BE)

66 At daybreak the council(BF) of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together,(BG) and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”

Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer.(BH) 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”(BI)

70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”(BJ)

He replied, “You say that I am.”(BK)

71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

13 Now (A)before (B)the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that (C)his hour had come (D)to depart out of this world to the Father, (E)having loved (F)his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when (G)the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing (H)that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that (I)he had come from God and (J)was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, (K)tied it around his waist. Then he (L)poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” (M)Jesus answered him, “What I am doing (N)you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” (O)Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, (P)“If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, (Q)except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And (R)you[b] are clean, (S)but not every one of you.” 11 (T)For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 When he had washed their feet and (U)put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, (V)“Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 (W)You call me (X)Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, (Y)you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, (Z)that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AA)a servant[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, (AB)blessed are you if you do them. 18 (AC)I am not speaking of all of you; I know (AD)whom I have chosen. But (AE)the Scripture will be fulfilled,[d] (AF)‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 (AG)I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AH)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

One of You Will Betray Me

21 After saying these things, (AI)Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, (AJ)“Truly, truly, I say to you, (AK)one of you will betray me.” 22 (AL)The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 (AM)One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table (AN)at Jesus' side,[e] 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus[f] of whom he was speaking. 25 (AO)So that disciple, (AP)leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, (AQ)“It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread (AR)when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, (AS)he gave it to Judas, (AT)the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, (AU)Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, (AV)“What you are going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, (AW)because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need (AX)for the feast,” or that he should (AY)give something to the poor. 30 So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. (AZ)And it was night.

A New Commandment

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, (BA)“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and (BB)God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, (BC)God will also glorify him in himself, and (BD)glorify him at once. 33 Little children, (BE)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just (BF)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 (BG)A new commandment (BH)I give to you, (BI)that you love one another: (BJ)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 (BK)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” (BL)Jesus answered him, “Where I am going (BM)you cannot follow me now, (BN)but you will follow afterward.” 37 (BO)Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, (BP)the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 (BQ)“Let not your hearts be troubled. (BR)Believe in God;[g] believe also in me. In (BS)my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that (BT)I go to prepare a place for you?[h] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you (BU)to myself, that (BV)where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”[i] (BW)Thomas said to him, “Lord, (BX)we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am (BY)the way, and (BZ)the truth, and (CA)the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (CB)If you had known me, you would have (CC)known my Father also.[j] From now on you do know him and (CD)have seen him.”

(CE)Philip said to him, “Lord, (CF)show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? (CG)Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that (CH)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you (CI)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that (CJ)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else (CK)believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (CL)whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I (CM)am going to the Father. 13 (CN)Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that (CO)the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 (CP)If you ask me[k] anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 (CQ)“If you love me, you will (CR)keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another (CS)Helper,[l] to be with you forever, 17 even (CT)the Spirit of truth, (CU)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and (CV)will be[m] in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; (CW)I will come to you. 19 (CX)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but (CY)you will see me. (CZ)Because I live, you also will live. 20 (DA)In that day you will know that (DB)I am in my Father, and (DC)you in me, and (DD)I in you. 21 (DE)Whoever has my commandments and (DF)keeps them, he it is who loves me. And (DG)he who loves me (DH)will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and (DI)manifest myself to him.” 22 (DJ)Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it (DK)that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, (DL)“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and (DM)we will come to him and (DN)make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And (DO)the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the (DP)Helper, the Holy Spirit, (DQ)whom the Father will send in my name, (DR)he will teach you all things and (DS)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 (DT)Peace I leave with you; (DU)my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. (DV)Let not your hearts be troubled, neither (DW)let them be afraid.

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet

13 It was just before the Passover Festival.(A) Jesus knew that the hour had come(B) for him to leave this world and go to the Father.(C) Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.(D) Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power,(E) and that he had come from God(F) and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.(G) After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet,(H) drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”(I)

“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean,(J) though not every one of you.”(K) 11 For he knew who was going to betray him,(L) and that was why he said not every one was clean.

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’(M) and ‘Lord,’(N) and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.(O) 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.(P) 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,(Q) nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.(R)

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

18 “I am not referring to all of you;(S) I know those I have chosen.(T) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:(U) ‘He who shared my bread(V) has turned[a](W) against me.’[b](X)

19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe(Y) that I am who I am.(Z) 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”(AA)

21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit(AB) and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”(AC)

22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved,(AD) was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”(AE)

26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas,(AF) the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.(AG)

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas had charge of the money,(AH) some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival,(AI) or to give something to the poor.(AJ) 30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.(AK)

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(AL)

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man(AM) is glorified(AN) and God is glorified in him.(AO) 32 If God is glorified in him,[c] God will glorify the Son in himself,(AP) and will glorify him at once.

33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.(AQ)

34 “A new command(AR) I give you: Love one another.(AS) As I have loved you, so you must love one another.(AT) 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”(AU)

36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”(AV)

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now,(AW) but you will follow later.”(AX)

37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!(AY)

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.(AZ) You believe(BA) in God[d];(BB) believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there(BC) to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back(BD) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.(BE) You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

Thomas(BF) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am(BG) the way(BH) and the truth(BI) and the life.(BJ) No one comes to the Father except through me.(BK) If you really know me, you will know[e] my Father as well.(BL) From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip(BM) said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.(BN) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?(BO) The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.(BP) Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.(BQ) 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes(BR) in me will do the works I have been doing,(BS) and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask(BT) in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands.(BU) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(BV) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(BW) The world cannot accept him,(BX) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[f] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(BY) I will come to you.(BZ) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(CA) Because I live, you also will live.(CB) 20 On that day(CC) you will realize that I am in my Father,(CD) and you are in me, and I am in you.(CE) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(CF) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(CG) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(CH) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(CI)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(CJ) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(CK) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(CL)

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate,(CM) the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,(CN) will teach you all things(CO) and will remind you of everything I have said to you.(CP) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.(CQ) I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled(CR) and do not be afraid.
