Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

and plotted to take Jesus by guile and kill Him.

Now after two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might get hold of Him by guile, and [how] they might kill [Him].

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be a disturbance of the people."

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover.

And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.

Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Therefore they were seeking to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, for His time had not yet come.

Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

And I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those which You have given Me, that they may be one just as We [are].

Jesus therefore, knowing all things coming upon Him, went out and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Sleep now, and rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

And He said to them, "Go and say to that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.'

Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it is not possible [for] a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

You have heard that I said to you, 'I am going away and coming [back] to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

"But now I am going to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

Nevertheless I speak the truth to you. It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

And now, O Father, glorify Me alongside Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

And I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those which You have given Me, that they may be one just as We [are].

But now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

"Just as the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and I abide in His love.

Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life on behalf of his friends.

You are My friends if you do what I command you.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for [those] whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

And all Mine are Yours, and Yours [are] Mine, and I have been glorified in them.

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

And I made known to them Your name, and I will make it known, so that the love [with] which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.

But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Husbands, love your own wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

in order that He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of water by the word,

We love Him because He first loved us.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and who washed us from our sins in His own blood,

teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

who will also confirm you until the end, [that you may be] unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the boast of hope firm until [the] end.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm until the end,

But we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until [the] end,

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, stay sober, put your hope fully in the grace brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
