John 16

1
"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.
2
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3
They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
4
I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
5
"Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?'
6
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
7
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9
in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;
10
in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11
and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12
"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14
He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
15
All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
16
"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."
17
Some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying, `In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,' and `Because I am going to the Father'?"
18
They kept asking, "What does he mean by `a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying."
19
Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, `In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'?
20
I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
22
So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
24
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
25
"Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
26
In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
28
I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."
29
Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.
30
Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."
31
"You believe at last!" Jesus answered.
32
"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."


John 17

1
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
2
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4
I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
5
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
6
"I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one.
12
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13
"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
14
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
17
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
18
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
19
For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
20
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:
23
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24
"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25
"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
26
I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."


John 18

1
When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it.
2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3
So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"
5
"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
6
When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
7
Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8
"I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go."
9
This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me."
10
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
11
Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"
12
Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
13
and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14
Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people.
15
Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,
16
but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17
"You are not one of his disciples, are you?" the girl at the door asked Peter. He replied, "I am not."
18
It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.
19
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20
"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21
Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said."
22
When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded.
23
"If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?"
24
Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
25
As Simon Peter stood warming himself, he was asked, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, saying, "I am not."
26
One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, "Didn't I see you with him in the olive grove?"
27
Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.
28
Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
29
So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?"
30
"If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
31
Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." "But we have no right to execute anyone," the Jews objected.
32
This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled.
33
Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
34
"Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"
35
"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"
36
Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."
37
"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
38
"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
39
But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release `the king of the Jews'?"
40
They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion.
