When he had gone out, Jesus said, ¡®Now the Son of Man
has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32If God has been glorified in him,* God will also glorify
him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33Little
children, I am with you only a little longer. You will
look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say
to you, ¡°Where I am going, you cannot come.¡± 34I give
you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just
as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.¡¯
36 Simon Peter
said to him, ¡®Lord, where are you going?¡¯ Jesus answered,
¡®Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you
will follow afterwards.¡¯ 37Peter said to him, ¡®Lord,
why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life
for you.¡¯ 38Jesus answered, ¡®Will you lay down your
life for me? Very truly, I tell you, before the cock
crows, you will have denied me three times.

1 ¡®Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Believe* in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father¡¯s
house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not
so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place
for you?* 3And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again and will take you to myself, so that
where I am, there you may be also. 4And you know the
way to the place where I am going.¡¯* 5Thomas said to
him, ¡®Lord, we do not know where you are going. How
can we know the way?¡¯ 6Jesus said to him, ¡®I am the
way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. 7If you know me, you will
know* my Father also. From now on you do know him and
have seen him.¡¯
8 Philip said to him, ¡®Lord, show
us the Father, and we will be satisfied.¡¯ 9Jesus said
to him, ¡®Have I been with you all this time, Philip,
and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has
seen the Father. How can you say, ¡°Show us the Father¡±?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say
to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who
dwells in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am
in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do
not, then believe me because of the works themselves.
12Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me
will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will
do greater works than these, because I am going to the
Father. 13I will do whatever you ask in my name, so
that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If in
my name you ask me* for anything, I will do it.
15 ¡®If you love me, you will keep* my commandments.
16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Advocate,* to be with you for ever. 17This is the Spirit
of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it
neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because
he abides with you, and he will be in* you.
18 ¡®I
will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. 19In
a little while the world will no longer see me, but
you will see me; because I live, you also will live.
20On that day you will know that I am in my Father,
and you in me, and I in you. 21They who have my commandments
and keep them are those who love me; and those who love
me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them
and reveal myself to them.¡¯ 22Judas (not Iscariot)
said to him, ¡®Lord, how is it that you will reveal
yourself to us, and not to the world?¡¯ 23Jesus answered
him, ¡®Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father
will love them, and we will come to them and make our
home with them. 24Whoever does not love me does not
keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine,
but is from the Father who sent me.
25 ¡®I have said
these things to you while I am still with you. 26But
the Advocate,* the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind
you of all that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave
with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you
as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled,
and do not let them be afraid. 28You heard me say to
you, ¡°I am going away, and I am coming to you.¡± If
you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the
Father, because the Father is greater than I. 29And
now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when
it does occur, you may believe. 30I will no longer talk
much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming.
He has no power over me; 31but I do as the Father has
commanded me, so that the world may know that I love
the Father. Rise, let us be on our way.

1. ¡®I am the true vine, and my Father
is the vine-grower. 2He removes every branch in me that
bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes*
to make it bear more fruit. 3You have already been cleansed*
by the word that I have spoken to you. 4Abide in me
as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit
by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can
you unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine, you are
the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear
much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.
6Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a
branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown
into the fire, and burned. 7If you abide in me, and
my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and
it will be done for you. 8My Father is glorified by
this, that you bear much fruit and become* my disciples.
9As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide
in my love. 10If you keep my commandments, you will
abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father¡¯s commandments
and abide in his love. 11I have said these things to
you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy
may be complete.
12 ¡®This is my commandment, that
you love one another as I have loved you. 13No one has
greater love than this, to lay down one¡¯s life for
one¡¯s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what
I command you. 15I do not call you servants* any longer,
because the servant* does not know what the master is
doing; but I have called you friends, because I have
made known to you everything that I have heard from
my Father. 16You did not choose me but I chose you.
And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that
will last, so that the Father will give you whatever
you ask him in my name. 17I am giving you these commands
so that you may love one another.
18 ¡®If the world
hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated
you. 19If you belonged to the world,* the world would
love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world?therefore
the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said
to you, ¡°Servants* are not greater than their master.¡±
If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they
kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21But they
will do all these things to you on account of my name,
because they do not know him who sent me. 22If I had
not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin;
but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23Whoever
hates me hates my Father also. 24If I had not done among
them the works that no one else did, they would not
have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and
my Father. 25It was to fulfil the word that is written
in their law, ¡°They hated me without a cause.¡±
26
¡®When the Advocate* comes, whom I will send to you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from
the Father, he will testify on my behalf. 27You also
are to testify because you have been with me from the
beginning.
16
1¡®I have said these things to you to keep you from
stumbling. 2They will put you out of the synagogues.
Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will
think that by doing so they are offering worship to
God. 3And they will do this because they have not known
the Father or me. 4But I have said these things to you
so that when their hour comes you may remember that
I told you about them.
¡®I did not say these things
to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5But
now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks
me, ¡°Where are you going?¡± 6But because I have said
these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage
that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate*
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to
you. 8And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong
about* sin and righteousness and judgement: 9about sin,
because they do not believe in me; 10about righteousness,
because I am going to the Father and you will see me
no longer; 11about judgement, because the ruler of this
world has been condemned.
12 ¡®I still have many
things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you
into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own,
but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare
to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify
me, because he will take what is mine and declare it
to you. 15All that the Father has is mine. For this
reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare
it to you.
16 ¡®A little while, and you will no longer
see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.¡¯
17Then some of his disciples said to one another, ¡®What
does he mean by saying to us, ¡°A little while, and
you will no longer see me, and again a little while,
and you will see me¡±; and ¡°Because I am going to the
Father¡±?¡¯ 18They said, ¡®What does he mean by this
¡°a little while¡±? We do not know what he is talking
about.¡¯ 19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so
he said to them, ¡®Are you discussing among yourselves
what I meant when I said, ¡°A little while, and you
will no longer see me, and again a little while, and
you will see me¡±? 20Very truly, I tell you, you will
weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will
have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. 21When
a woman is in labour, she has pain, because her hour
has come. But when her child is born, she no longer
remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought
a human being into the world. 22So you have pain now;
but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice,
and no one will take your joy from you. 23On that day
you will ask nothing of me.* Very truly, I tell you,
if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will
give it to you.* 24Until now you have not asked for
anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that
your joy may be complete.
25 ¡®I have said these
things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming
when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will
tell you plainly of the Father. 26On that day you will
ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask
the Father on your behalf; 27for the Father himself
loves you, because you have loved me and have believed
that I came from God.* 28I came from the Father and
have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world
and am going to the Father.¡¯
29 His disciples said,
¡®Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure
of speech! 30Now we know that you know all things, and
do not need to have anyone question you; by this we
believe that you came from God.¡¯ 31Jesus answered them,
¡®Do you now believe? 32The hour is coming, indeed it
has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his
home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone
because the Father is with me. 33I have said this to
you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world
you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered
the world!¡¯
17
1 After Jesus had spoken these words,
he looked up to heaven and said, ¡®Father, the hour
has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify
you, 2since you have given him authority over all people,*
to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that
you gave me to do. 5So now, Father, glorify me in your
own presence with the glory that I had in your presence
before the world existed.
6 ¡®I have made your name
known to those whom you gave me from the world. They
were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept
your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given
me is from you; 8for the words that you gave to me I
have given to them, and they have received them and
know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed
that you sent me. 9I am asking on their behalf; I am
not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of
those whom you gave me, because they are yours. 10All
mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been
glorified in them. 11And now I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy
Father, protect them in your name that you have given
me, so that they may be one, as we are one. 12While
I was with them, I protected them in your name that*
you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them
was lost except the one destined to be lost,* so that
the scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming
to you, and I speak these things in the world so that
they may have my joy made complete in themselves.* 14I
have given them your word, and the world has hated them
because they do not belong to the world, just as I do
not belong to the world. 15I am not asking you to take
them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them
from the evil one.* 16They do not belong to the world,
just as I do not belong to the world. 17Sanctify them
in the truth; your word is truth. 18As you have sent
me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they
also may be sanctified in truth.
20 ¡®I ask not only
on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who
will believe in me through their word, 21that they may
all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you,
may they also be in us,* so that the world may believe
that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given
me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we
are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become
completely one, so that the world may know that you
have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved
me. 24Father, I desire that those also, whom you have
given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory,
which you have given me because you loved me before
the foundation of the world.
25 ¡®Righteous Father,
the world does not know you, but I know you; and these
know that you have sent me. 26I made your name known
to them, and I will make it known, so that the love
with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in
them.¡¯
