•1 I have told you this so that you may not be driven astray. They will put you out of the synagogue. But the time is coming when anyone who kills you will be thought to be doing a service to God. And they will do this because they know neither my father nor me. But I have told you these things so that when their time comes you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you. But now I ^ going to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me: Where are you going? But because I have told you these things grief has filled your hearts. But I ^ telling you the truth; it is to your advantage for me to go away. If I do not go, the comforter cannot come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes he will confute the world concerning error and righteousness and judgment: error, because they do not believe in me; righteousness, because I am going away to my father and you will see me no more; and judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. I have much else to tell you, but you cannot handle it now; but when he, the spirit of truth, comes, he will be your guide to the whole truth, for he will speak, not on his own authority, but will tell you what he hears, and will report to you of what is to come. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and report it to you. All that the father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes from me and will report to you.
A little while and you will look on me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me. So some of his disciples said to each other: What is this that he is telling us? A little while and you will not look on me, and again a little while and you will see me? And: Because I am going to my father? So they said: What is this little while he is talking about? We do not know what he means. Jesus perceived that they wished to question him, and said to them: Is this what you are seeking together to understand, what I meant by: A little while and you will not look upon me; and again a little while and you will see me? Truly truly I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will have pain, but your pain will turn to joy. A woman has pain when she is giving birth, when her time has come, but when she has borne her child she no longer remembers her affliction, through joy that a human being has been born into the world. So now you also feel pain; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take that joy away from you. And on that day you will not ask me anything. Truly truly I tell you, if you ask the father for anything he will give it to you in my name. Until now you asked for nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
I have told you this in riddles; but the time is coming when I shall speak in riddles no longer but will tell you in plain language about the father. On that day you will ask in my name, and I say that I will not ask my father on your behalf, for the father himself loves you because you have loved me and believed that I came from the father. I came from my father and went into the world. I leave the world again and go back to my father. His disciples said: See, now you are talking in plain language and tell us no more riddles. Now we know that you know all and have no need for anyone to ask you. By this we believe that you came from God. Jesus answered them: Now you believe? The time is coming, and it has come, for you to be scattered each to his own place and leave me alone. And I ^ not alone, because my father is with me. These things I have told you so that you may have peace in me. In the world you will have affliction; but do not fear, I have defeated the world.
41 Jesus spoke thus, then lifted his eyes to heaven and said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son, so that your son may glorify you; as you gave him authority over all flesh, so that he will give life everlasting to all you have given him. And this is the life everlasting, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. I have glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do; and now, father, glorify me, in your own presence, with the glory I had with you before the world began. I made your name known to the people you gave me from the world. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they have recognized that all that you gave me was from you; because I gave them the sayings that you gave me, and they accepted them and recognized rightly that I came from you, and believed that you sent me. I ask for their sake; I ask not for the sake of the world but for the sake of those you gave me, because they are yours, and all that is mine is yours and all that is yours is mine, and I am glorified in them. And I ^ no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am going to you. Holy father, keep them by your name, which you gave me, so that they may be one as we are. When I was with them I kept them, by the name which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost except the son of perdition, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am going to you, and I say this in the world so that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I do not ask you to take them from the world, but to keep them from evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world; and for their sake I consecrate myself, so that they also may be consecrated in the truth.
I ask not for the sake of these only, but also for the sake of those who believe in me because of the word of these, so that all may be one, as you, father, are in me and I in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one, I in them and you in me, so that they may be made perfect as one, so that the world may learn that you sent me and loved them as you loved me. Father, I wish that wherever I am, those whom you gave me may be with me also, so that they may look upon my glory which you gave me, because you loved me before the establishment of the world. Righteous father, even the world did not recognize you, but I recognized you, and these realized that you sent me, and I made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love you had for me may be in them, and I may be in them.
tl After this prayer Jesus went with his disciples out beyond the brook Cedron to where there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. And Judas, who had betrayed him, knew this place, since Jesus had often gone there with his disciples. So Judas got the guard, and the servingmen from the high priests and the Pharisees, and went there with lights and torches and weapons. Then Jesus, who knew everything that was in store for him, went out and said to them: Whom do you seek? They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. He said to them: I am he. And Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. When he said to them: I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them: Whom do you seek? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered: I told you that I ^ he. So if you are looking for me, let these go. To fulfill what he had said: I have not lost one of those whom you gave me. Now Simon Peter had a sword, and he drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus. But
