5 But now lI am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, m‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, nsorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for oif I do not go away, the pHelper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I qgo to the Father, and ryou will see me no longer; 11 concerning sjudgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the tSpirit of truth comes, uhe will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 vAll that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy
16 w“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So xsome of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but yyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts zwill rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, awhatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. bAsk, and you will receive, cthat your joy may be full.
I Have Overcome the World
25 “I have said these things to you in dfigures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, ebecause you have loved me and have believed that I came ffrom God.1 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am gleaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! 30 Now we know that hyou know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when iyou will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am jnot alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have kpeace. lIn the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have movercome the world.”
The High Priestly Prayer
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, nthe hour has come; oglorify your Son pthat the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over qall flesh, to give eternal life to rall whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they sknow you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having taccomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you ubefore the world existed.
6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them vthe words that you gave me, and they have wreceived them and have come to know in truth that I came xfrom you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yyours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and zI am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, athat they may be one, even as bwe are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and cnot one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be dfulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, ethat they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has fhated them because they are gnot of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you htake them out of the world, but that you ikeep them from the evil one.2 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 jSanctify them3 in the truth; your word is truth. 18 kAs you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,4 that they also may be sanctified5 in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will lbelieve in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as myou, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one neven as we are one, 23 oI in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and ploved them even as you qloved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me rwhere I am, to see my sglory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, tI know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 uI made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, vthat the love with which you have loved me may be win them, and I in them.”
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
1 xWhen Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, yknowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, z“Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, a“I am he.”6 Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When Jesus7 said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 bThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: c“Of those whom you gave me dI have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, having a esword, drew it and struck the high priest’s fservant8 and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the gcup that the Father has given me?”

36 dThen Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, e“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch1 with me.” 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. fThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.2 See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is gbetrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 hRise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

47 iWhile he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, jdo what you came to do.”3 Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the kservant4 of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. lFor all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve mlegions of angels? 54 But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 56 But all this has taken place nthat the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then oall the disciples pleft him and fled.

32 nAnd they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, o“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”1 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, pthe hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, q“Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. rThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is sbetrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 tRise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

43 uAnd immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, v“Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the wservant2 of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And they all left him and fled.

51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39 iAnd he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him an jangel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in agony he prayed more kearnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.1 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

47 lWhile he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the mservant2 of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you day after day in the ntemple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the opower of darkness.”
