Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst!

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

And while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.

They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.

He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah and have gone after the Baals.
