John:13:1-17:26
nsb@John:13:1 @ Jesus knew before the feast of the Passover that the time had come for him to leave this world and return to his Father. He loved his own who were in the world to the very end.
nsb@John:13:2 @ The devil influenced the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simons son. So he betrayed him during the meal.
nsb@John:13:3 @ Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over all things. He also knew it came from God and he returns it to God.
nsb@John:13:4 @ He got up from the meal and laid aside his garments. He wrapped a towel around his waist.
nsb@John:13:5 @ Then he poured water into the basin and washed the disciples feet. He wiped them with the towel he was wearing.
nsb@John:13:6 @ When he approached, Simon Peter said: »Lord do you wash my feet?«
nsb@John:13:7 @ »You do not know what I do now,« Jesus said: »but you will understand later.«
nsb@John:13:8 @ Peter said: »You will never wash my feet.« Jesus answered him: »If I do not wash you; you have no part with me.«
nsb@John:13:9 @ Simon Peter replied: »Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.«
nsb@John:13:10 @ Jesus responded: »He that is bathed must wash his feet. He is clean everywhere and you are clean, but not all.«
nsb@John:13:11 @ He knew who would betray him. That is why he said you are not all clean.
nsb@John:13:12 @ After he washed their feet he put his outer garments on and sat down. He asked: »Do you know what I have done to you?
nsb@John:13:13 @ »You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right for I am.
nsb@John:13:14 @ »If the Teacher and Lord washed your feet you should wash one anothers feet.
nsb@John:13:15 @ »I have given you an example. You should also do as I have done to you.
nsb@John:13:16 @ »Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master. Neither is one that is sent greater than he that sent him.
nsb@John:13:17 @ »If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
nsb@John:13:18 @ »I do not speak about all of you. I know whom I have chosen! This way the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.«
nsb@John:13:19 @ »I tell you before it happens. So that when it takes place you may believe that I am he.
nsb@John:13:20 @ »Truly I say to you, he who receives whom ever I send receives me. And he who receives me receives him who sent me.
nsb@John:13:21 @ After Jesus said this he was troubled in spirit and said: One of you will betray me.«
nsb@John:13:22 @ The disciples looked at each other. They were perplexed and wondered who it would be.
nsb@John:13:23 @ The disciple whom Jesus loved was leaning on his chest.
nsb@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter motioned to him: »Ask him who it is,« he urged.
nsb@John:13:25 @ He leaned back on Jesus breast and said to him: »Lord, who is it?«
nsb@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered: »It is he to whom I give a piece of bread after I dip it.« So when he dipped the bread he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
nsb@John:13:27 @ After he was given the piece of bread Satan entered him. Jesus said to him: »Do what you do quickly.«
nsb@John:13:28 @ No man at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.
nsb@John:13:29 @ Some thought Judas was going to shop for food for the feast or give something to the poor. Judas was in charge of the moneybox.
nsb@John:13:30 @ He received the morsel of bread and left immediately. It was night.
nsb@John:13:31 @ When he was gone Jesus said: »Now the Son of man is glorified and God is glorified through him.
nsb@John:13:32 @ »If God is glorified through him, God will also immediately glorify him.
nsb@John:13:33 @ »Little children I am with you for a little while. You will seek me and as I told the Jews now I say to you, where I go, you cannot come.
nsb@John:13:34 @ »I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.
nsb@John:13:35 @ »All men will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.«
nsb@John:13:36 @ Simon Peter said: »Lord where are you going?« Jesus answered: »Where I am going you cannot follow me now. You will follow me later.«
nsb@John:13:37 @ Peter said: »Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.«
nsb@John:13:38 @ Jesus answered: »Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you the cock will not crow till you have denied me three times.«
nsb@John:14:1 @ »Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
nsb@John:14:2 @ »In my Fathers house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
nsb@John:14:3 @ »If I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and I will receive you to myself, for where I am you may also be.
nsb@John:14:4 @ »You know where I go and you know the way.«
nsb@John:14:5 @ Thomas said to him: »Lord, we do not know where you go. How do we know the way?«
nsb@John:14:6 @ Jesus proclaimed: »I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through me.
nsb@John:14:7 @ »If you had known me, you would have perceived my Father also. From now on you understand him and have experienced him.«
nsb@John:14:8 @ Philip said: »Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.«
nsb@John:14:9 @ Jesus responded: »Have I been with you so long a time and you do not know me Philip? He who has seen me has discerned the Father. And you say, show us the Father?
nsb@John:14:10 @ »Do you not believe that I am with the Father and that the Father is with me? The words I say to you are not from me, but the Father dwells with me and does his works.
nsb@John:14:11 @ »Believe me that I am with the Father and the Father is with me, or else believe me because of the works.
nsb@John:14:12 @ »Truly I tell you, he who exerts active faith in me will do the works that I do. In fact he will do greater works than these. I go to the Father.
nsb@John:14:13 @ »Whatever you ask in my name, I will do. That way the Father may be glorified because of the Son.
nsb@John:14:14 @ »If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
nsb@John:14:15 @ »If you love me, you will keep my commandments!
nsb@John:14:16 @ »I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another helper, that he may be with you forever.
nsb@John:14:17 @ »It is the Spirit of the truth. The world cannot receive it. The world does not see or know it. You know it because it lives with you and will be with you.
nsb@John:14:18 @ »I will not leave you desolate. I will come to you.
nsb@John:14:19 @ »A little while and the world will not see me anymore, but you will. I live and you will also live.
nsb@John:14:20 @ »In that day you will know that I am with my Father, and you with me, and I with you.
nsb@John:14:21 @ »He that has my commandments, and obeys them loves me. My Father will love the person who loves me. I will love him and disclose myself to him.«
nsb@John:14:22 @ Judas asked him: »Lord, what will happen that you will disclose yourself to us, and not to the world?«
nsb@John:14:23 @ Jesus answered: »If a man loves me, he will obey my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and dwell with him.
nsb@John:14:24 @ »He who does not love me does not obey my words. The word you hear is not mine, but comes from the Father who sent me.
nsb@John:14:25 @ »I speak these things while being present with you.
nsb@John:14:26 @ »The Father will send a helper in my name, the Holy Spirit, which will teach you all things and bring to your memory all that I said to you.
nsb@John:14:27 @ »Peace I leave with you! My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives to you. Do not let your heart be troubled or full of fear.
nsb@John:14:28 @ »You heard me say I will go away and I will come again to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father. The Father is greater than I!
nsb@John:14:29 @ »Now I told you before it takes place. That way when it happens you may believe.
nsb@John:14:30 @ »I will speak no more with you. The prince of the world comes. He has no hold on me!
nsb@John:14:31 @ »The world must know that I love the Father. And I obey the Fathers commandments. Get up and let us leave here.«
nsb@John:15:1 @ »I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator.
nsb@John:15:2 @ »He takes away the branches in me that do not bear fruit. He cleans every branch that bears fruit. That way it may bear more fruit.
nsb@John:15:3 @ »You are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
nsb@John:15:4 @ »Remain with me, and I with you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must remain on the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain with me.
nsb@John:15:5 @ »I am the vine and you are the branches. He that remains with me, and I with him, the same bears much fruit. You can do nothing apart from me.
nsb@John:15:6 @ »If a man does not remain with me, he is removed as a branch, and withers. They gather them and throw them into the fire where they are burned.
nsb@John:15:7 @ »If you remain with me, and my words remain with you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you.
nsb@John:15:8 @ »My Father is glorified when you bear much fruit. You will be my disciples.
nsb@John:15:9 @ »I love you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
nsb@John:15:10 @ »If you obey my commandments you will remain in my love. I have obeyed my Fathers commandments and remain in his love.
nsb@John:15:11 @ »I spoke these things in order that my joy may continue with you and your joy may be made full.
nsb@John:15:12 @ »This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
nsb@John:15:13 @ »No man has greater love then this that a man lay down his life for his friends.
nsb@John:15:14 @ »You are my friends if you do the things that I command you.
nsb@John:15:15 @ »I no longer call you servants for the servant does not know what the lord does. I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
nsb@John:15:16 @ »You did not choose me. I chose you and appointed you. You should go and bear fruit and your fruit should remain. Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
nsb@John:15:17 @ »These things I command you, that you may love one another.
nsb@John:15:18 @ »If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
nsb@John:15:19 @ »If you were of the world, the world would love its own. I chose you out of the world. The world hates you because you are not of the world.
nsb@John:15:20 @ »Remember the word I said to you. A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.
nsb@John:15:21 @ »They will do all these things to you for my names sake. It is because they do not know the one that sent me.
nsb@John:15:22 @ »If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin!
nsb@John:15:23 @ »He who hates me hates my Father also.
nsb@John:15:24 @ »If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would have no sin. They have seen and hated both my Father and me.
nsb@John:15:25 @ »This took place that the word written in the Law may be fulfilled: They hated me without a cause.
nsb@John:15:26 @ »I will send the helper from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father to bear witness of me.
nsb@John:15:27 @ »You also bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning.«
nsb@John:16:1 @ »I have spoken these things to you that you should not be made to stumble.
nsb@John:16:2 @ »They will throw you out of the synagogues. Yes, the hour comes that whoever kills you will think that he offered service to God.
nsb@John:16:3 @ »But they do these things because they do not know the Father or me.
nsb@John:16:4 @ »I tell you these things so you will remember that I told you when the time comes. I did not tell this from the beginning because I was with you.
nsb@John:16:5 @ »I go to him that sent me. None of you asks me: Where are you going?
nsb@John:16:6 @ »Now that I have spoken these things to you, sorrow fills your heart.
nsb@John:16:7 @ »Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away. For if I do not go away the helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send it to you.
nsb@John:16:8 @ »Upon arrival this one will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
nsb@John:16:9 @ »First of sin because they do not practice active faith in me.
nsb@John:16:10 @ »Second, of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will not see me anymore.
nsb@John:16:11 @ »And third, of judgment because the prince of this world has been judged.
nsb@John:16:12 @ »I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot endure them now.
nsb@John:16:13 @ »When the Spirit of truth comes it will guide you to all truth for it will not speak from itself. It will speak the things it hears and declare to you the things that are to come.
nsb@John:16:14 @ »It will glorify me and will take of what I have and declare it to you.
nsb@John:16:15 @ »All the things the Father has are mine. That is why I said takes what I have and declares it to you.
nsb@John:16:16 @ »A little while and you will see me no more and again a little while, and you will see me.«
nsb@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another: »What is this he says, a little while, and you see me no more and again a little while and you will see me because I go to the Father?
nsb@John:16:18 @ »What is this that he says: A little while? We do not know what he says.«
nsb@John:16:19 @ Jesus perceived what they wanted to ask him. He said to them: »You inquire among yourselves concerning what I said. A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?
nsb@John:16:20 @ »Truly I tell you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
nsb@John:16:21 @ »A woman in tribulation has sorrow, because her hour to give birth has come. When she delivers the child, she remembers no more anguish, because of the joy that a man is born into the world.
nsb@John:16:22 @ »You have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your heart will rejoice and no one can take your joy from you.
nsb@John:16:23 @ »You will ask me for nothing then. Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
nsb@John:16:24 @ »Until now you have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
nsb@John:16:25 @ »I have spoken to you in figurative language. The hour comes when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language. I will tell you plainly from the Father.
nsb@John:16:26 @ »In that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you. It will not be necessary.
nsb@John:16:27 @ The Father loves you, because you loved me, and believed that I came from the Father.
nsb@John:16:28 @ »I came out from the Father and came into the world. I leave the world and go to the Father.«
nsb@John:16:29 @ His disciples said: »See now you speak plainly and use no figurative language.
nsb@John:16:30 @ »We are sure you know all things and have no need that any man ask you questions. Because of this we believe you came from God.«
nsb@John:16:31 @ Jesus asked them: »Do you now believe?
nsb@John:16:32 @ »Behold! The hour comes, and indeed, it is here, that you will be scattered and each one will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.
nsb@John:16:33 @ »I spoke to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you have tribulation. Be of good cheer for I have conquered the world!«
nsb@John:17:1 @ Jesus spoke these things and lifted up his eyes to heaven. He said: »Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that the son may glorify you.
nsb@John:17:2 @ »You have given him authority over all flesh that he may give everlasting life to the ones whom you have given him.
nsb@John:17:3 @ »This is everlasting life that they should have *deep, intimate knowledge of you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have commissioned. *
nsb@John:17:4 @ »I glorified you on the earth. I accomplished the work you gave me to do.
nsb@John:17:5 @ »And now, Father, glorify me with you, the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
nsb@John:17:6 @ »I taught your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours and you gave them to me. They have lived by your word.
nsb@John:17:7 @ »Now they know that all things you gave me are from you.
nsb@John:17:8 @ »I gave them the words that you gave me. They understood them and knew I came from you. They believed you sent me.
nsb@John:17:9 @ »I pray for them. I do not pray for the world. I pray only for those you gave me, for they are yours.
nsb@John:17:10 @ »All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine and I am glorified in them.
nsb@John:17:11 @ »I am no more in the world but they are in the world. I come to you Holy Father. Keep them in your name, which you have given to me, that they may be one*, even as we are. *
nsb@John:17:12 @ »While I was with them I kept them in your name, which you have given to me. I guarded them, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
nsb@John:17:13 @ »Now I come to you. I spoke these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
nsb@John:17:14 @ »I gave them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
nsb@John:17:15 @ »I do not pray that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
nsb@John:17:16 @ »They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
nsb@John:17:17 @ »Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth.
nsb@John:17:18 @ »As you commissioned me into the world, I commissioned them into the world.
nsb@John:17:19 @ »I sanctify myself for them, that they may be sanctified by truth.
nsb@John:17:20 @ »I pray, not for these alone but for those who will believe in me through their word.
nsb@John:17:21 @ »May they all be united as one. Just as you, Father, are with me, and I am with you. Help them be united with us! That way the world may believe that you sent me.
nsb@John:17:22 @ »I have given them the glory that you gave me in order that they may be one even as we are one.
nsb@John:17:23 @ »I with them, and you with me, that they may accomplish complete unity. That way the world may know that you sent me and that you love them just as you love me.
nsb@John:17:24 @ »Father, I desire that these whom you gave me may be with me where I am. I want them to see the glory you have given me. For you loved me before the creation of the world.
nsb@John:17:25 @ »Righteous Father, the world has not known you. I know you and those you sent me know you.
nsb@John:17:26 @ »I have made your name known, and will make it known. That way your love for me may be with them and I may be with them.«
