19 Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye 20 shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow 21 shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man 22 is born into the world. And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away 23 from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you 24 in my name. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in 2proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in 2 proverbs, but shall tell you 26 plainly of the Father. In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the 27 Father for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and I 28 have believed that I came These things spake Jesus; 1 17 and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee: even as thou gavest him 2 authority over all flesh, that whatsoever thou hast given him, to them he should give eternal life. And this is life 3 eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ. I 4 glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished work which thou hast given me to do. And now, O Fa 1 Or, ask me no question 2 Or, parables 4 Or, parable the 8 Gr. make request of 9 me. ther, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before 6 the world was. I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast 8 given me are from thee: for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send I pray for them: I 1pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: 10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in 11 them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be 12 one, even as we are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture 13 might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy 14 fulfilled in themselves, I because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I 1pray not that 15 thou shouldest take them 2 from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them 2 from the evil one. They 16 are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 4Sanc- 17 tify them in the truth: thy word is truth. As thou didst 18 send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. And for their sakes I sanc- 19 tify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. Neither for these 20 only do I 1pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; that 21 they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which 22 thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in 23 me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. Father, 5 that which thou 24 hast given me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O right- 25 eous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; 2 Gr. out of. 3 Or, evil 4 Or, Conse5 Many ancient authorities read those whom. have given them thy word; and the world hated them, 1 Gr. make request. crate 26 didst send me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them. 18 1 and these knew that thou thou hast given me I lost not one. Simon Peter therefore 10 having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's 'servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the 4 servant's name was Malchus. Jesus therefore 11 said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the 1brook 2 Kidron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, himself and his disci2 ples. Now Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and 4 torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When therefore he said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the 7 ground. Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Na8 zareth. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let 9 these go their way: that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom 1 Or, ravine Gr. winter-torrent. cohort 4 Gr. bondservant. 6 Gr. bondservants. So the band and the 5 chief 12 captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him, and led him to 13 Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was high priest that year. Now Caiaphas was he which 14 gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter followed 15 Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; but Peter was stand- 16 ing at the door without. So the other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. The maid 17 therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. Now the servants and the 18 officers were standing there, having made 7a fire of coals; 3 Or, 2 Or, of the Cedars 5 Or, military tribune Gr. chiliarch. 7 Gr. a fire of charcoal. 19 for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, 20 and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in 1synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in 21 secret spake I nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard me, what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which 22 I said. And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus 2 with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest 23 so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, 24 why smitest thou me? Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, 26 and said, I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in 27 the garden with him? Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew. 28 They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the 4palace: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pi- 29 late therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and 30 said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. Pilate 31 therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: that the word of Jesus might 32 be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. Pilate therefore entered 33 again into the palace, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, 34 Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? Pilate answered, 35 Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus an- 36 swered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my 5 servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto 37 1 Gr. synagogue. 2 Or, with a rod 3 Gr. bondservants. Prætorium. 5 Or, officers: as in ver. 3, 12, 18, 22. 4 Gr. him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, 1Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hear38 eth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I 39 find no crime in him. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the 40 King of the Jews? They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. 19 1 Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him. The Jews answered 7 him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate 8 therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; and 9 he entered into the palace again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate 10 therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? Jesus answered him, Thou 11 wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: thereThen Pilate therefore took fore he that delivered me 2 Jesus, and scourged him.
