True Disciples

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”

Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.”

Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”

Jesus therefore no longer walked about openly among the Jews but went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness, and he remained there with the disciples.

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said,

His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him.

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him.

The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he was speaking.

One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close to his heart;

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?”

Peace for the Disciples

“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but will tell you plainly of the Father.

His disciples said, “Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech!

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

After Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Peter Denies Jesus

Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,

but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, and brought Peter in.
