Jesus’ Warning

16 “^(A)These things I have spoken to you so that you will not ^[a]be ^(B)led into sin. ² They will ^[b](C)ban you from the synagogue, yet ^(D)an hour is coming for everyone ^(E)who kills you to think that he is offering a ^[c]service to God. ³ These things they will do ^(F)because they have not known the Father nor Me. ⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, ^(G)so that when their hour comes, you ^[d]may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you ^(H)at the beginning, because I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

⁵ “But now ^(I)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘^(J)Where are You going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(K)grief has filled your heart. ⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the ^[e](L)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, ^(M)I will send Him to you. ⁸ And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: ⁹ regarding sin, ^(N)because they do not believe in Me; ¹⁰ and regarding ^(O)righteousness, because ^(P)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; ^11 (Q)and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time. ¹³ But when He, ^(R)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will ^(S)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. ¹⁴ He will ^(T)glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you. ^15 (U)All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.

Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold

¹⁶ “^(V)A little while, and ^(W)you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and ^(X)you will see Me.” ¹⁷ So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘^(Y)A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because ^(Z)I am going to the Father’?” ¹⁸ So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.” ^19 (AA)Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’? ²⁰ Truly, truly I say to you that ^(AB)you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but ^(AC)your grief will be turned into joy! ^21 (AD)Whenever a woman is in labor she has ^[f]pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a ^[g]child has been born into the world. ²² Therefore ^(AE)you too have grief now; but ^(AF)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.

Prayer Promises

²³ And ^(AG)on that day ^(AH)you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, ^(AI)if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. ^24 (AJ)Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your ^(AK)joy may be made full.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you in ^(AL)figures of speech; ^(AM)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father. ^26 (AN)On that day ^(AO)you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; ²⁷ for ^(AP)the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and ^(AQ)have believed that ^(AR)I came forth from the Father. ^28 (AS)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and ^(AT)going to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not ^[h]using any ^(AU)figure of speech. ³⁰ Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we ^(AV)believe that You ^(AW)came forth from God.” ³¹ Jesus replied to them, “Do you now believe? ³² Behold, ^(AX)an hour is coming, and has already come, for ^(AY)you to be scattered, each to ^(AZ)his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet ^(BA)I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you so that ^(BB)in Me you may have peace. ^(BC)In the world you have tribulation, but ^(BD)take courage; ^(BE)I have overcome the world.”

The High Priestly Prayer

17 Jesus spoke these things; and ^(BF)raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; ^(BG)glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, ² just as ^(BH)You gave Him authority over all ^[i]mankind, so that ^[j](BI)to all whom You have given Him, ^(BJ)He may give eternal life. ³ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(BK)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom ^(BL)You have sent. ^4 (BM)I glorified You on the earth ^[k](BN)by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵ And now You, Father, ^(BO)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had ^(BP)with You before the world existed.

⁶ “^(BQ)I have revealed Your name to the men whom ^(BR)You gave Me out of the world; they were ^(BS)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^(BT)followed Your word. ⁷ Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; ⁸ for ^(BU)the words which You gave Me ^(BV)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^(BW)I came forth from You, and they believed that ^(BX)You sent Me. ^9 (BY)I ask on their behalf; ^(BZ)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom ^(CA)You have given Me, because ^(CB)they are Yours; ¹⁰ and ^(CC)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet ^(CD)they themselves are in the world, and ^(CE)I am coming to You. ^(CF)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^(CG)which You have given Me, so that ^(CH)they may be one just as We are. ¹² While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, ^(CI)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and ^(CJ)not one of them perished except ^(CK)the ^[l]son of destruction, so that the ^(CL)Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

¹³ But now ^(CM)I am coming to You; and ^(CN)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ^(CO)joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and ^(CP)the world has hated them because ^(CQ)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from ^[m](CR)the evil one. ^16 (CS)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ^17 (CT)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸ Just as ^(CU)You sent Me into the world, ^(CV)I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I ^(CW)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be ^(CX)sanctified ^(CY)in truth.

²⁰ “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, ²¹ that they may all be one; ^(CZ)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(DA)so that the world may ^[n]believe that ^(DB)You sent Me.

Disciples’ Future Glory

²² The ^(DC)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; ^23 (DD)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected ^[o]in unity, so that the world may ^[p]know that ^(DE)You sent Me, and You ^(DF)loved them, just as You loved Me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that ^(DG)they also, whom You have given Me, ^(DH)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ^(DI)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ^(DJ)the foundation of the world.

²⁵ “^(DK)Righteous Father, ^[q]although ^(DL)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that ^(DM)You sent Me; ²⁶ and ^(DN)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that ^(DO)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Judas Betrays Jesus

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(DP)He went away with His disciples across ^(DQ)the ^[r]ravine of the Kidron, where there was ^(DR)a garden which He entered ^[s]with His disciples. ² Now Judas, who was ^[t]betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had ^(DS)often met there with His disciples. ^3 (DT)So Judas, having obtained ^(DU)the Roman ^[u]cohort and ^(DV)officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns, ^(DW)torches, and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, ^(DX)knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and *said to them, “^(DY)Whom are you seeking?” ⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. ⁶ Now then, when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. ⁷ He then asked them again, “^(DZ)Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” ⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.” ⁹ This took place so that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled: “^(EA)Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.” ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, ^(EB)since he had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus. ¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; ^(EC)the cup which the Father has given Me, am I not to drink it?”

Jesus before the Priests

^12 (ED)So ^(EE)the Roman ^[v]cohort, the ^[w]commander, and the ^(EF)officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him, ¹³ and brought Him to ^(EG)Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of ^(EH)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that ^(EI)it was in their best interest for one man to die in behalf of the people.

^15 (EJ)Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into ^(EK)the courtyard of the high priest, ^16 (EL)but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. ^17 (EM)Then the slave woman who was the doorkeeper *said to Peter, “^(EN)You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He *said, “I am not.” ¹⁸ Now the slaves and the ^(EO)officers were standing there, having made ^(EP)a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were ^(EQ)warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.

^19 (ER)The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. ²⁰ Jesus answered him, “I ^(ES)have spoken openly to the world; I always ^(ET)taught in ^[x]synagogues and ^(EU)in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret. ²¹ Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.” ²² But when He said this, one of the ^(EV)officers, who was standing nearby, ^(EW)struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” ^23 (EX)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” ^24 (EY)So Annas sent Him bound to ^(EZ)Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter’s Denial of Jesus

^25 (FA)Now ^(FB)Simon Peter was still standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “^(FC)You are not one of His disciples as well, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.” ²⁶ One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one ^(FD)whose ear Peter cut off, *said, “Did I not see you in ^(FE)the garden with Him?” ²⁷ Peter then denied it again, and immediately ^(FF)a rooster crowed.

Jesus before Pilate

^28 (FG)Then they *brought Jesus from ^(FH)Caiaphas into ^(FI)the ^[y]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter ^(FJ)the ^[z]Praetorium, so that ^(FK)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. ^29 (FL)Therefore Pilate came out to them and *said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?” ³⁰ They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not ^[aa]a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you.” ³¹ So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not ^[ab]permitted to put anyone to death.” ³² This happened so that ^(FM)the word of Jesus which He said, indicating what kind of death He was going to die, would be fulfilled.

³³ Therefore Pilate ^(FN)entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “^(FO)You are the King of the Jews?” ³⁴ Jesus answered, “Are you saying this ^[ac]on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” ³⁵ Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” ³⁶ Jesus answered, “^(FP)My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not ^[ad]of this realm.” ³⁷ Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “^(FQ)You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: ^(FR)to testify to the truth. ^(FS)Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” ³⁸ Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”

And after saying this, he ^(FT)came out again to the Jews and *said to them, “^(FU)I find no grounds at all for charges in ^[ae]His case. ^39 (FV)However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner ^[af]for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release ^[ag]for you the King of the Jews?” ⁴⁰ So they shouted again, saying, “^(FW)Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a rebel.
