The Gospel of John | Full Movie | LUMO

[Music] in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god [Music] he was with god in the beginning through him all things were made without him nothing was made that has been made [Music] in him was life and that life was the light of all mankind [Music] the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it [Music] [Music] there was a man sent from god whose name was john he came as a witness to testify concerning that light so that through him all might believe he himself was not the light he came only as a witness to the light the true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world he was in the world and though the world was made through him the world did not recognize him he came to that which was his own but his own did not receive him yet to all who did receive him to those who believed in his name he gave the right to become children of god children born not of natural dissent nor of human decision or a husband's will but born of god the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us we have seen his glory the glory of the one and only son who came from the father full of grace and truth john testified concerning him he cried out saying this is the one i spoke about when i said he who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given for the law was given through moses grace and truth came through jesus christ no one has ever seen god but the one and only son who is himself god and is in the closest relationship with the father has made him known [Music] now this was john's testimony when the jewish leaders in jerusalem sent priests and levites to ask him who he was he did not fail to confess but confessed freely i am not the messiah they asked him then who are you are you elijah he said i am not are you the prophet he answered no finally they said who are you give us an answer to take back to those who sent us what do you say about yourself john replied in the words of isaiah the prophet i am the voice of one calling in the wilderness make straight the way for the lord now the pharisees who had been sent questioned it why then do you baptize if you are not the messiah nor elijah nor the prophet i baptize with water john replied but among you stands one you do not know he is the one who comes after me the straps of whose sandals i am not worthy to untie this all happened at bethany on the other side of the jordan where john was baptizing [Music] the next day john saw jesus coming towards him and said look the lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world [Music] this is the one i meant when i said a man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me i myself did not know him but the reason i came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to israel then john gave this testimony i saw the spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him and i myself did not know him but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me the man on whom you see the spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the holy spirit i have seen and i testify that this is god's chosen one [Music] the next day john was there again with two of his disciples when he saw jesus passing by he said look the lamb of god when the two disciples heard him say this they followed jesus turning round jesus saw them following and asked what do you want they said rabbi which means teacher where are you staying come he replied and you will see so they went and saw where he was staying and they spent that day with him it was about four in the afternoon andrew simon peter's brother was one of the two who heard what john had said and who had followed jesus the first thing andrew did was to find his brother simon and tell him we have found the messiah that is the christ and he brought him to jesus jesus looked at him and said you are simon son of john you will be called cephas which when translated is peter [Music] the next day jesus decided to leave for galilee finding phillip he said to him follow me philip like andrew and peter was from the town of bethsider philip found nathaniel and told him we have found the one moses wrote about in the law and about whom the prophets also wrote jesus of nazareth the son of joseph nazareth can anything good come from there nathanael asked come and see said philip [Music] jesus saw nathanael approaching he said of him here truly is an israelite in whom there is no deceit how do you know me nathaniel asked jesus answered i saw you while you were still under the fig tree before philip called you then nathanael declared rabbi you are the son of god you are the king of israel jesus said you believe because i told you i saw you under the fig tree you will see greater things than that he then added very truly i tell you you will see heaven open and the angels of god ascending and descending on the son of man on the third day a wedding took place at cana in galilee jesus mother was there and jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding when the wine was gone jesus's mother said to him they have no more wine woman why do you involve me jesus replied my hour has not yet come his mother said to the servants do whatever he tells you nearby stood six stone water jars the kind used by the jews for ceremonial washing each holding from 80 to 120 liters jesus said to the servants fill the jars with water so they filled them to the brim then he told them now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet they did so [Music] and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine he did not realize where it had come from though the servants who had drawn the water knew then he called the bridegroom aside and said everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink but you have saved the best till now what jesus did here in canaa of galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory and his disciples believed in him after this he went down to capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples there they stayed for a few days when it was almost time for the jewish passover jesus went up to jerusalem [Music] no call hey catch your mom [Music] in the temple courts he found people selling cattle sheep and dubs and others sitting at tables exchanging money [Music] so he made a whip out of courts and drove all from the temple courts both sheep and cattle he scattered the coins of the money changes and overturned their tables to those who sold dubs he said get these out of here stop turning my father's house into a market [Music] his disciples remembered that it is written zeal for your house will consume me the jews then responded to him what sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this jesus answered them destroy this temple and i will raise it again in three days they replied it has taken 46 years to build this temple and you are going to raise it in three days but the temple he had spoken of was his body after he was raised from the dead his disciples recalled what he had said [Music] then they believed the scripture and the words that jesus had spoken [Music] now while he was in jerusalem at the passover festival many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name but jesus would not entrust himself to them for he knew all people he did not need any testimony about mankind for he knew what was in each person [Music] now there was a pharisee a man named nicodemus who was a member of the jewish ruling council he came to jesus at night and said rabbi we know that you are a teacher who has come from god for no one could perform the signs you are doing if god were not with him jesus replied very truly i tell you no one can see the kingdom of god unless they are born again how can someone be born when they are old nicodemus asked surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born jesus answered very truly i tell you no one can enter the kingdom of god unless they are born of water and the spirit flesh gives birth to flesh but the spirit gives birth to spirit you should not be surprised at my saying you must be born again the wind blows wherever it pleases you hear it sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going so it is with everyone born of the spirit how can this be nicodemus asked you are israel's teacher said jesus and do you not understand these things very truly i tell you we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen [Music] but still you people do not accept our testimony [Music] i have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe how then will you believe if i speak of heavenly things no one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven the son of man just as moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness so the son of man must be lifted up that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life for god did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him whoever believes in him is not condemned but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of god's one and only son this is the verdict light has come into the world but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil [Music] everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of god [Music] after this jesus and his disciples went out into the judean countryside where he spent some time with them and baptized now john also was baptizing at aenon near salim because there was plenty of water and people were coming and being baptized this was before john was put in prison an argument developed between some of john's disciples and a certain jew over the matter of ceremonial washing they came to john and said to him rabbi that man who was with you on the other side of the jordan the one you testified about look he is baptizing and everyone is going to him to this john replied a person can receive only what is given them from heaven you yourselves can testify that i said i am not the messiah but i'm sent ahead of him the bride belongs to the bridegroom the friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him and he's full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice that joy is mine and it is now complete he must become greater i must become less the one who comes from above is above all the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth the one who comes from heaven is above all [Music] he testifies to what he has seen and heard but no one accepts his testimony whoever has accepted it has certified that god is truthful for the one whom god has sent speaks the words of god for god gives the spirit without limit the father loves the son and has placed everything in his hands whoever believes in the son has eternal life but whoever rejects the son will not see life for god's wrath remains on them now jesus learned that the pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than john although in fact it was not jesus who baptized but his disciples [Music] so he left judea and went back once more to galilee now he had to go through some area so he came to a town in samaria called sikka near the plot of ground jacob had given to his son joseph jacob's well was there and jesus tired as he was from the journey sat down by the well it was about noon when a samaritan woman came to draw water jesus said to her will you give me a drink his disciples had gone into the town to buy food the samaritan woman said to him you are a jew and i am a samaritan woman how can you ask me for a drink for jews do not associate with samaritans jesus answered her if you knew the gift of god and who it is that asks you for a drink you would have asked him and he would have given you living water sir the woman said you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep where can you get this living water are you greater than our father jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself as did also his sons and his livestock [Music] jesus answered everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks the water i give them will never thirst [Music] indeed the water i give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life the woman said to him sir give me this water so that i won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water he told her go call your husband and come back i have no husband she replied jesus said to her you are right when you say you have no husband the fact is you have had five husbands and the man you now have is not your husband what you have just said is quite true sir the woman said i can see that you are a prophet our ancestors worshipped on this mountain but you jews claim that the place where we must worship is in jerusalem woman jesus replied believe me a time is coming when you will worship the father neither on this mountain nor in jerusalem you samaritans worship what you do not know we worship what we do know for salvation is from the jews yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the father in the spirit and in truth for they are the kind of worshipers the father seeks god is spirit and his worshipers must worship in the spirit and in truth the woman said i know that messiah called christ is coming when he comes he will explain everything to us then jesus declared i the one speaking to you i am he [Music] just then his disciples returned and was surprised to find him talking with a woman but no one asked what do you want or why are you talking with her then leaving her water jar the woman went back to the town and said to the people come see a man who told me everything i've ever done could this be the messiah they came out of the town and made their way towards him meanwhile his disciples urged him rabbi eat something but he said to them i have food to eat that you know nothing about then his disciples said to each other could someone have brought him food my food said jesus is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work don't you have a saying it's still four months until harvest i tell you open your eyes and look at the fields they are ripe for harvest even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together thus the saying once those and another reaps is true i sent you to reap what you have not worked for others have done the hard work and you have reached the benefits of their labor many of the samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony he told me everything i've ever done so when the samaritans came to him they urged him to stay with them and he stayed two days and because of his words many more became believers they said to the woman we no longer believe just because of what you said now we have heard for ourselves and we know that this man really is the savior of the world after the two days he left for galilee now jesus himself had pointed out that the prophet has no honor in his own country when he arrived in galilee the galileans welcomed him they had seen all that he had done in jerusalem at the passover festival for they also had been there once more he visited cana in galilee where he had turned the water into wine and there was a certain royal official whose son lay ill at capernaum when this man heard that jesus had arrived in galilee from judea he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death unless you people see signs and wonders jesus told him you will never believe the royal official said sir come down before my child dies go jesus replied your son will live the man took jesus at his word and departed while he was still on the way his servants met him with the news that his boy was living when he inquired as to the time when his son got better they said to him yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him then the father realized that this was the exact time at which jesus had said to him your son will live so he and his whole household believed this was the second sign jesus performed after coming from judea to galilee [Music] sometime later jesus went up to jerusalem for one of the jewish festivals now there is in jerusalem near the sheepgate a pool which in aramaic is called bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonies here a great number of disabled people used to lie the blind the lame paralyzed [Music] when jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time he asked him do you want to get well sir the invite replied i have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred while i am trying to get in someone else goes down ahead of me then jesus said to him get up pick up your mat and walk [Music] [Applause] [Music] at once the man was cured [Applause] he picked up his mat and walked [Music] the day on which this took place was a sabbath and so the jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed it is the sabbath the law forbids you to carry you mat but he replied the man who made me well said to me pick up your mat and walk so they asked him who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk the man who was healed had no idea who it was but jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there [Music] later jesus found him at the temple and said to him see you are well again stop sinning something worse may happen to you [Music] the man went away and told the jewish leaders that it was jesus who had made him well so because jesus was doing these things on the sabbath the jewish leaders began to persecute him in his defense jesus said to them my father is always at his work to this very day and i too am working [Music] for this reason they tried all the more to kill him not only was he breaking the sabbath but he was even calling god his own father making himself equal with god [Music] jesus gave them this answer very truly i tell you the son can do nothing by himself he can do only what he sees his father doing because whatever the father does the son also does but the father loves the son and shows him all he does yes and he will show him even greater works than these so that you will be amazed for just as the father raises the dead and gives them life even so the son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it [Music] moreover the father judges no one but has entrusted all judgment to the son that all may honor the son just as they honor the father whoever does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him very truly i tell you whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life very truly i tell you a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the son of god and those who hear will live for as the father has life in himself so he has granted the son also to have life in himself and he has given him authority to judge because he is the son of man do not be amazed at this for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out those who have done what is good will rise to live and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned by myself i can do nothing i judge only as i hear and my judgment is just for i seek not to please myself but him who sent me if i testify about myself my testimony is not true there is another who testifies in my favor and i know that his testimony about me is true you have sent to john and he has testified to the truth not that i accept human testimony but i mention it that you may be saved john was a lamp that burned and gave light and you chose for a time to enjoy his light i have testimony weightier than that of john for the works that the father has given me to finish the very works that i am doing testify that the father has sent me and the father who sent me has himself testified concerning me you have never heard his voice nor seen his form nor does his word dwell in you for you do not believe the one he sent you studied the scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life these are the very scriptures that testify about me yet you refuse to come to me to have life i do not accept glory from human beings i have come in my father's name and you do not accept me but if someone else comes in his own name you will accept him how can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only god but do not think i will accuse you before the father your accuser is moses on whom your hopes are set if you believed moses you would believe me for he wrote about me but since you do not believe what he wrote how are you going to believe what i say sometime after this jesus crossed to the far shore of the sea of galilee that is the sea of tiberias and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing those who were ill then jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down with his disciples the jewish passover festival was near when jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming towards him he said to philip where shall we buy bread for these people to eat he asked this only to test him for he already had in mind what he was going to do philip answered him it would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite another of his disciples andrew simon peter's brother spoke up here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish but how far will they go among so many jesus said make the people sit down there was plenty of grass in that place and they sat down about five thousand men were there jesus then took the loaves gave thanks and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted [Music] he did the same with the fish when they had all had enough to eat he said to his disciples gather the pieces that are left over let nothing be wasted so they gathered them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten after the people saw the sign jesus performed they began to say surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world jesus knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force withdrew again to a mountain by himself [Music] when evening came his disciples went down to the lake where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for capernaum by now it was dark and jesus had not yet joined them a strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough [Music] when they had rode about three or four miles they saw jesus approaching the boat walking on the water and they were frightened but he said to them it is i don't be afraid then they were willing to take him into the boat and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading [Music] the next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there and that jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that they had gone away alone then some boats from tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the lord had given thanks once the crowd realized that neither jesus nor his disciples were there they got into the boats and went to capernaum in search of jesus [Music] oh [Music] when they found him on the other side of the lake they asked him rabbi when did you get here jesus answered very truly i tell you you are looking for me not because you saw the signs i performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill do not work for food that spoils but for food that endures to eternal life which the son of man will give you for on him god the father has placed his seal of approval then they asked him what must we do to do the works god requires jesus answered the work of god is this to believe in the one he has sent so they asked him what sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you what will you do our ancestors ate the manner in the wilderness as it is written he gave them bread from heaven to eat jesus said to them very truly i tell you it is not moses who has given you the bread from heaven but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven for the bread of god is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world sir they said always give us this bread then jesus declared i am the bread of life whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty [Music] but as i told you you have seen me and still you do not believe all those the father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me i will never drive away for i have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me and this is the will of him who sent me that i shall lose none of all those he has given me but raised them up at the last day for my father's will is that everyone who looks to the son and believes in him shall have eternal life and i will raise them up at the last day at this the jews there began to grumble about him because he said i am the bread that came down from heaven they said is this not jesus the son of joseph whose father and mother we know how can he now say i came down from heaven [Music] [Applause] stop grumbling among yourselves jesus answered no one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws them and i will raise them up at the last day it is written in the prophets they will all be taught by god everyone who has heard the father and learned from him comes to me no one has seen the father except the one who is from god only he has seen the father very truly i tell you the one who believes has eternal life i am the bread of life your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness yet they died but here is the bread that comes down from heaven which anyone may eat and not die [Music] i am the living bread that came down from heaven whoever eats this bread will live forever this bread is my flesh which i will give for the life of the world [Music] then the jews began to argue sharply among themselves how can this man give us his flesh to eat jesus said to them very truly i tell you unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood you have no life whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and i will raise them up at the last day for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink ever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and i in them just as the living father sent me and i live because of the father so the one who feeds on me will live because of me this is the bread that came down from heaven your ancestors ate manna and died but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever he said this while teaching in the synagogue in capernaum on hearing it many of his disciples said this is a hard teaching who can accept it aware that his disciples were grumbling about this jesus said to them does this offend you and what if you see the son of man ascend to where he was before the spirit gives life the flesh counts for nothing the words i have spoken to you they are full of the spirit and life yet there are some of you who do not believe for jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him he went on to say this is why i told you that no one can come to me unless the father has enabled them [Music] from this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him that's right you do not want to leave too dave jesus asked the twelve simon peter answered him lord to whom shall we go you have the words of eternal life we have come to believe and to know that you are the holy one of god [Music] then jesus replied have i not chosen you the twelve yet one of you is a devil he meant judas the son of simon iscariot who though one of the twelve was later to betray him [Music] after this jesus went around in galilee he did not want to go about in judea because the jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him but when the jewish festival of tabernacles was near jesus's brothers said to him leave galilee go to judea so that your disciples there may see the works you do no one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret since you are doing these things show yourself to the world for even his own brothers did not believe in him [Music] therefore jesus told them my time is not yet here for you anytime will do the world cannot hate you but it hates me because i testify that it works our evil i am not going up to this festival because my time has not yet fully come after he had said this he stayed in galilee however after his brothers had left for the festival he went also not publicly but in secret [Music] now at the festival the jewish leaders were watching for jesus and asking where is he among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him some said he is a good man others replied no he deceives the people but no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders not until halfway through the festival did jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach the jews there were amazed and asked how did this man get such learning without having been taught jesus answered my teaching is not my own it comes from the one who sent me anyone who chooses to do the will of god will find out whether my teaching comes from god or whether i speak on my own whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth there is nothing false about him has not moses given you the law yet not one of you keeps the law why are you trying to kill me you are demon possessed the crowd answered who is trying to kill you jesus said to them i did one miracle and you are all amazed yet because moses gave you circumcision though actually did not come from moses but from the patriarchs you circumcise a boy on the sabbath now if a boy can be circumcised on the sabbath so that the law of moses may not be broken why are you angry with me for healing a man's whole body on the sabbath stop judging by mere appearances but instead judge correctly at that point some of the people of jerusalem began to ask isn't this the man they are trying to kill here he is speaking publicly and they are not saying a word to him have the authorities really concluded that he is the messiah but we know where this man is from when the messiah comes no one will know where he is from then jesus still teaching in the temple courts cried out yes you know me and you know where i am from i am not here on my own authority but he who sent me is true you do not know him but i know him because i am from him and he sent me at this they tried to seize him but no one laid a hand on him because his power had not yet come still many in the crowd believed in him [Music] they said when the messiah comes will he perform more signs than this man [Music] the pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him then the chief priests and the pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him jesus said i am with you only for a short time and then i am going to the one who sent me you will look for me but you will not fight me and where i am you cannot come the jews said to one another where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him will he go where our people live scattered among the greeks and teach the greeks [Music] what did he mean when he said you will look for me but you will not find me and where i am you cannot come [Music] [Music] on the last and greatest day of the festival jesus stood and said in a loud voice let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink whoever believes in me as scripture has said rivers of living water will flow from within them by this he meant the spirit whom those who believed in him were later to receive up to that time the spirit had not been given since jesus had not yet been glorified on hearing his words some of the people said surely this man is the prophet others said he is the messiah still others ask how can the messiah come from galilee does not scripture say that the messiah will come from david's descendants and from bethlehem the town where david lived thus the people were divided because of jesus some wanted to seize him but no one laid a hand on him finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the pharisees who asked them why didn't you bring him in no one ever spoke the way this man does the guards replied you mean he has deceived you also the pharisees retorted have any of the rulers or of the pharisees believed in him no but this mob that knows nothing of the law there is a curse on them [Music] nicodemus who had gone to jesus earlier and who was one of their own number asked does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing they replied are you from galilee too look into it and you'll find that a profit does not come out of galilee then they all went home but jesus went to the mount of olives [Music] he appeared again in the temple courts where all the people gathered around him and he sat down to teach them the teachers of the law and the pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery they made her stand before the group and said to jesus teacher this woman was caught in the act of adultery in the law moses commanded us to stone such women now what do you say they were using this question as a trap in order to have a basis for accusing him [Music] but jesus bent [Music] and down to write on the ground with his finger [Music] when they kept on questioning him he straightened up [Music] and said to them let anyone of you who is without sin [Music] be the first to throw a stone at her [Music] again he stooped down and wrote on the ground out of this those who heard began to go away one at a time the older ones first until only jesus was left with the woman still standing there jesus straightened up and asked her woman where are they has no one condemned you no one sir she said then neither do i condemn you jesus declared go now and leave your life of sin [Music] when jesus spoke again to the people he said i am the light of the world whoever follows me will never walk in darkness [Music] but will have the light of life the pharisees challenged him here you are appearing as your own witness your testimony is not valid jesus answered even if i testify on my own behalf my testimony is valid for i know where i came from and where i am going but you have no idea where i come from or where i'm going you judge by human standards i pass judgment unknown but if i do judge my decisions are true because i am not alone i stand with the father who sent me in your own law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true i am one who testifies for myself my other witness is the father who sent me then they asked him where is your father you do not know me or my father jesus replied you would know my father also he spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put yet no one sees him because his hour had not yet come once more jesus said to them i am going away and you will look for me and you will die in your sin where i go you cannot come this made the jews ask will he kill himself is that why he says where i go you cannot come but he continued you are from below i am from above you are of this world i am not of this one i told you that you would die in your sins if you do not believe that i am he you will indeed die in your sins who are you they asked just what i have been telling you from the beginning jesus replied i have much to say in judgment of you but he who sent me is trustworthy and what i have heard from him i tell the world they did not understand that he was telling them about his father so jesus said when you have lifted up the son of man then you will know that i am he and that i do nothing on my own but speak just what the father has taught me the one who sent me is with me he has not left me alone for i always do what pleases him even as he spoke many believed in him [Music] to the jews who had believed him jesus said if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free they answered him we are abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone how can you say that we shall be set free [Music] jesus replied very truly i tell you everyone who sins is a slave to sin now a slave has no permanent place in the family but the sun belongs to it forever so if the sun sets you free you will be free indeed i know you are abraham's descendants yet you are looking for a way to kill me because you have no room for my word i am telling you what i have seen in the father's presence and you are doing what you have heard from your father abraham is our father if you were abraham's children said jesus then you would do what abraham did as it is you are looking for a way to kill me a man who has told you the truth that i heard from god abraham did not do such things you are doing the works of your own father we are not illegitimate children they protested the only father we have is god himself jesus said to them if god were your father you would love me but i have come here from god i have not come on my own god sent me [Music] why is my language not clear to you because you are unable to hear what i say you belong to your father the devil and you want to carry out your father's desires he was a murderer from the beginning not holding to the truth but there is no truth in him when he lies he speaks his native language for he is a liar and the father of lies yet because i tell the truth you do not believe me can any of you prove me guilty of sin if i am telling the truth why don't you believe me whoever belongs to god hears what god says the reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to god the jews answered him aren't we right in saying that you are a samaritan and demon possessed i am not possessed by a demon said jesus but i honor my father and you dishonor me i am not seeking glory for myself but there is one who seeks it and he is the judge very truly i tell you whoever obeys my word will never see death at this they exclaimed now we know that you are demon possessed abraham died and so did the prophets yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death are you greater than our father abraham he died and so did the prophets who do you think you are right jesus replied if i glorify myself my glory means nothing my father whom you claim as your god is the one who glorifies me though you do not know him i know him if i said i did not i would be a liar like you but i do know him and obey his word your father abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day he saw it and was glad you are not yet 50 years old they said to him and you have seen abraham very truly i tell you jesus answered before abraham was born i am at this they picked up stones to stone him but jesus hid himself slipping away from the temple grounds as he went along he saw a man blind from birth his disciples asked him rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind neither this man nor his parent's sin said jesus but this happened so that the works of god might be displayed as long as it is day we must do the works of him who sent me night is coming when no one can work while i am in the world i am the light of the world after saying this he spat on the ground made some mud with the saliva and put it on the man's eyes [Music] [Music] this word means sent [Music] so the man went and washed [Music] [Applause] [Music] and came home seeing his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg some claim that he was others said no he only looks like him but he himself insisted i am the man how then were your eyes opened they asked he replied the man they called jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes he told me to go to siloam and wash so i went and washed and then i could see where is this man they asked him i don't know he said [Applause] they brought to the pharisees the man who had been blind now the day on which jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a sabbath [Music] therefore the pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight he put mud on my eyes the man replied and i washed and now i see some of the pharisees said this man is not from god for he does not keep the sabbath but others asked how can a sinner perform such signs so they were divided then they turned again to the blind man what have you to say about him it was your eyes he opened the man replied he is a prophet they still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man's parents is this your son they asked is this the one you say was born blind how is it that now he can see we know he is our son the parents answered and we know he was born blind but how he can see now or who opened his eyes we don't know ask him he is of age he will speak for himself his parents said this because they were afraid of the jewish leaders who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that jesus was the messiah would be put out of the synagogue that was why his parents said he is of a age time they summoned the man who had been blind give glory to god by telling the truth they said we know this man is a sinner he replied whether he is a sinner or not i don't know one thing i do know i was blind but now i see then they asked him what did he do to you how did he open your eyes he answered i have told you already and you did not listen why do you want to hear it again do you want to become his disciples too then they hurled insults at him and said you are this fellow's disciple we are disciples of moses we know that god spoke to moses but as for this fellow we don't even know where he comes from the man answered now that is remarkable you don't know where he comes from yet he opened my eyes we know that god does not listen to sinners he listens to the godly person who does his will nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind if this man were not from god he could do nothing to this they replied you were steeped in sin at birth how dare you lecture us and they threw him out jesus heard that they had thrown him out and when he found him he said do you believe in the son of man who is he sir the man asked so that i may believe in him jesus said you have now seen him in fact he is the one speaking with you then the man said lord i believe and he worshipped him jesus said for judgment i have come into this world so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind some pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked what are we blind to jesus said if you were blind you would not be guilty of sin but now that you claim you can see your guilt remains very truly i tell you pharisees anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by some other way is a thief and a robber the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep the gatekeeper opens the gate for him and the sheep listen to his voice he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out when he has brought out all his own he goes on ahead of them and his sheep follow him because they know his voice but they will never follow a stranger in fact they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice jesus used this figure of speech but the pharisees did not understand what he was telling them therefore jesus said again very truly i tell you i am the gate for the sheep all who have come before me are thieves and robbers but the sheep have not listened to them i am the gate whoever enters through me will be saved they will come in and go out and find pasture the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy i have come that they may have life and have it to the full [Music] i am the good shepherd the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep the hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep so when he sees the wolf coming he abandons the sheep and runs away then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it the man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep i am the good shepherd i know my sheep and my sheep know me just as the father knows me and i know the father and i lay down my life for the sheep i have other sheep that are not of this sheepfold i must bring them also they too will listen to my voice and there shall be one flock and one shepherd the reason my father loves me is that i lay down my life only to take it up again no one takes it from me but i lay it down of my own accord i have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again this command i received from my father [Music] the jews who heard these words were again divided many of them said he is demon-possessed and raving mad why listen to him but others said these are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon can a demon open the eyes of the blind [Music] then came the festival of dedication at jerusalem it was winter and jesus was in the temple courts walking in solomon's colonnade the jews who were there gathered round him saying how long will you keep us in suspense if you are the messiah tell us plainly jesus answered i did tell you but you do not believe the works i do in my father's name testify about me but you do not believe because you are not my sheep my sheep listen to my voice i know them and they follow me i give them eternal life and they shall never perish no one will snatch them out of my hand my father who has given them to me is greater than all no one can snatch them out of my father's hand i and the father are one again his jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him but jesus said to them i have shown you many good works from the father for which of these do you stone we are not stoning you for any good work they replied but for blasphemy because you and me a man claim to be god jesus answered them is it not written in your law i have said you are gods if he called them gods to whom the word of god came and scripture cannot be set aside what about the one whom the father set apart as his very own and sent into the world [Music] why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because i said i am god's son do not believe me unless i do the works of my father but if i do them even though you do not believe me believe the works that you may know and understand that the father is in me and i in the father again they tried to seize him but he escaped their grasp then jesus went back across the jordan to the place where john had been baptizing in the early days there he stayed and many people came to him they said though john never performed a sign all that john said about this man was true and in that place many believed in jesus [Music] now a man named lazarus was ill he was from bethany the village of mary and her sister martha this mary whose brother lazarus now lay ill was the same one who put perfume on the lord and wiped his feet with her hair [Music] so the sisters sent word to jesus lord the one you love is ill when he heard this jesus said this illness will not end in death no it is for god's glory so that god's son may be glorified through it now jesus loved martha and her sister and lazarus so when he heard that lazarus was ill he stayed where he was two more days and then he said to his disciples let us go back to judea but rabbi they said a short while ago the jews there tried to stone you and yet you are going back jesus answered are there not 12 hours of daylight anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble or they see by this world's light it is when a person walks at night that they stumble for they have no light after he had said this he went on to tell them our friend lazarus has fallen asleep but i am going there to wake him up his disciples replied lord if he sleeps he will get better jesus had been speaking of his death but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep [Music] so then he told them plainly lazarus is dead and for your sake i am glad i was not there so that you may believe but let us go to him then thomas also known as didymus said to the rest of the disciples let us also go that we may die with him [Music] on his arrival jesus found that lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days now bethany was less than two miles from jerusalem and many jews had come to martha and mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother when martha heard that jesus was coming she went out to meet him but mary stayed at home lord martha said to jesus if you had been here my brother would not have died but i know that even now god will give you whatever you ask jesus said to her your brother will rise again martha answered i know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day jesus said to her i am the resurrection and the life the one who believes in me will live even though they die and whoever lives by believing in me will never die do you believe this [Music] yes lord she replied i believe that you are the messiah the son of god who has come into the world after she had said this she went back and called her sister mary aside the teacher is here she said and is asking for you [Music] when mary heard this she got up quickly and went to him [Music] now jesus had not yet entered the village but was still at the place where martha had met him when the jews who had been with mary in the house comforting her noticed how quickly she got up and went out they followed her supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there when mary reached the place where jesus was and saw him she fell at his feet and said lord if you had been here my brother would not have died when jesus saw her weeping and the jews who had come along with her also weeping he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled where have you laid him he asked come and see lord they replied jesus wept [Music] then the jews said see how he loved him but some of them said could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying [Music] jesus once more deeply moved came to the tomb it was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance take away the stone he said but lord said martha the sister of the dead man by this time there is a bad odor for he has been there four days then jesus said did i not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of god they took away the stone then jesus looked up and said father i thank you that you have heard me i knew that you always hear me but i said this for the benefit of the people standing here that they may believe that you sent me when he had said this jesus called out in a loud voice lazarus come out the dead man came out his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth round his face jesus said to them take off the grave clothes and let him go [Music] therefore many of the jews who had come to visit mary and had seen what jesus did believed in him but some of them went to the pharisees and told them what jesus had done then the chief priests and the pharisees called a meeting of the sanhedrin are we accomplishing they asked here is this man performing many signs if we let him go on like this everyone will believe in him and then the romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation then one of them named caiaphas who was high priest that year spoke up you know nothing at all you do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish [Music] he did not say this on his own but as high priest that year he prophesied that jesus would die for the jewish nation and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of god to bring them together and make them one so from that day on they plotted to take his life therefore jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of judea instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness to a village called ephraim where he stayed with his disciples when it was almost time for the jewish passover many went up from the country to jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the passover they kept looking for jesus and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another what do you think isn't he coming to the festival at all but the chief priests and the pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him six days before the passover jesus came to bethany where lazarus lived whom jesus had raised from the dead here a dinner was given in jesus honor martha served while lazarus was among those reclining at the table then mary took about half a liter of pure an expensive perfume she poured it on jesus's feet and wiped his feet with her hair and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume [Music] but one of his disciples judas iscariot who was later to betray him objected why wasn't this perfume soul and the money given to the poor it was worth a year's wages he did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief as keeper of the money bag he used to help himself to what was put into it leave her alone jesus replied it was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial you will always have the poor among you but you will not always have me meanwhile a large crowd of jews found out that jesus was there and came not only because of him but also to see lazarus whom he had raised from the dead so the chief priests made plans to kill lazarus as well for on account of him many of the jews were going over to jesus and believing in him the next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that jesus was on his way to jerusalem they took palm branches and went out to meet him shouting hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord blessed is the king of israel jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it as it is written do not be afraid daughter zion see your king is coming seated on a donkey's cult at first his disciples did not understand all this only after jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him now the crowd that was with him when he called lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word many people because they had heard that he had performed this sign went out to meet him so the pharisees said to one another see this is getting us nowhere look how the whole world has gone after him now there were some greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival they came to philip who was from bethsaida in galilee with a request sir they said we would like to see jesus philip went to tell andrew andrew and philip in turn told jesus [Music] jesus replied the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified very truly i tell you unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains only a single seed but if it dies it produces many seeds anyone who loves their life will lose it while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life whoever serves me must follow me and where i am my servant also will be my father will honor the one who serves me now my soul is troubled and what shall i say father save me from this hour no it was for this very reason i came to this power father glorify your name then a voice came from heaven i have glorified it and will glorify it again the crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered others said an angel had spoken to him jesus said this voice was for your benefit not mine now is the time for judgment on this world now the prince of this world will be driven out and i when i am lifted up from the earth would draw all people to myself he said this to show the kind of death he was going to die the crowd spoke up we have heard from the law that the messiah will remain forever so how can you say the son of man must be lifted up who is this son of man then jesus told them you are going to have the light just a little while longer walk while you have the light before darkness overtakes you whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going believe in the light while you have the light so that you may become children of light when he had finished speaking jesus left and hid himself from them even after jesus had performed so many signs in their presence they still would not believe in him this was to fulfill the word of isaiah the prophet lord who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed for this reason they could not believe because as isaiah says elsewhere he has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts so they can neither see with their eyes nor understand with their hearts nor turn and i would heal them isaiah said this because he saw jesus his glory and spoke about him yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him but because of the pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue for their loved human praise more than praise from god then jesus cried out the one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me i have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness if anyone hears my words but does not keep them i do not judge that person for i did not come to judge the world but to save the world there is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words the very words i have spoken will condemn them at for i did not speak on my own but the father who sent me commanded me to say all that i have spoken i know that his command beats to eternal life so whatever i say is just what the father has told me to say [Music] it was just before the passover festival jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the father having loved his own who were in the world he loved them to the end the evening meal was in progress and the devil had already prompted judas the son of simon iscariot to betray jesus jesus knew that the father had put all things under his power and that he had come from god and was returning to god so he got up from the meal took off his outer clothing and wrapped a towel round his waist after that he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples feet drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him he came to simon peter who said to him lord are you going to wash my feet jesus replied you do not realize now what i am doing but later you will understand no said peter you shall never wash my feet jesus answered unless i wash you by the way you have no part with me then lord simon peter replied not just my feet but my hands and my head as well jesus answered those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet their whole body is clean and you are clean though not every one of you for he knew who was going to betray him and that was why he said not everyone was clean when he had finished washing their feet he put on his clothes and returned to his place do you understand what i have done for you he asked them you call me teacher and lord and rightly so for that is what i am now that i your lord and teacher have washed your feet you also should wash one another's feet i have set you an example that you should do as i have done for you very truly i tell you no servant is greater than his master nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him now that you know these things you will be i am not referring to all of you i know those i have chosen but this is to fulfill this passage of scripture [Music] i am telling you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will believe that i am who i am very truly i tell you whoever accepts anyone i send accepts me [Music] and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me [Music] after he had said this jesus was troubled in spirit and testified very truly i tell you one of you is going to betray me his disciples stared at one another at a loss to know which of them he meant one of them the disciple whom jesus loved was reclining next to him simon peter motioned to this disciple and said ask him which one he means leaning back against jesus he asked him lord who is it jesus answered it is the one to whom i will give this piece of bread when i have dipped it in the dish then dipping the piece of bread [Music] he gave it to judas the son of simon iscariot as soon as judas took the bread satan entered into him so jesus told him what you're about to do do quickly but no one at the meal understood why jesus said this to him since judas had charge of the money some thought jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival or to give something to the poor as soon as judas had taken the bread he went out and it was night [Music] when he was gone jesus said now the son of man is glorified and god is glorified in him if god is glorified in him god will glorify the son in himself and will glorify him at once my children i will be with you only a little longer you will look for me and just as i told the jews so i tell you now where i am going you cannot come a new command i give you love one another yes as i have loved you so you must love one another [Music] by this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another simon peter asked him lord where are you going jesus replied where i am going you cannot follow now but you will follow later peter asked lord why can't i follow you now i will lay down my life for you then jesus answered will you really lay down your life for me very truly i tell you before the crows you will disown me three times [Music] do not let your hearts be troubled you believe in god believe also in me my father's house has many rooms if that were not so would i have told you that i am going there to prepare a place for you and if i go and prepare a place for you i will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where i am you know the way to the place where i am going [Music] thomas said to him lord we don't know where you are going so how can we know the way [Music] jesus answered i am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me if you really know me you will know my father as well from now on you do know him and have seen him philip said lord show us the father and that will be enough for us jesus answered don't you know me philip even after i have been among you such a long time anyone who has seen me has seen the father how can you say show us the father don't you believe that i am in the father and that the father is in me the words i say to you i do not speak on my own authority rather it is the father living in me who is doing his work believe me when i say that i am in the father and the father is in me or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves [Music] very truly i tell you whoever believes in me will do the works i have been doing [Music] and they will do even greater things than these because i am going to the father [Music] and i will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the sun you may ask me for anything in my name and i will do it [Music] if you love me keep my commands [Music] and i will ask the father and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever the spirit of truth the world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him but you know him for he lives with you and will be in you i will not leave you as orphans i will come to you before long the world will not see me anymore but you will see me because i live you also will live on that day you will realize that i am in my father and you are in me and i am in you whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me the one who loves me will be loved by my father and i too will love them and show myself to them then judas not judas iscariot said but lord why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world jesus replied anyone who loves me will obey my teaching my father will love them and we will come to them and make our home with them anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching [Music] these words you hear are not my own they belong to the father who sent me all this i have spoken while still with you but the advocate the holy spirit whom the father will send in my name will teach you all things and will remind you of everything i have said to you peace i leave with you my peace i give you i do not give to you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid you heard me say i am going away and i'm coming back to you if you loved me you would be glad that i am going to the father for the father is greater than i i have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will believe i will not say much more to you for the prince of this world is coming [Music] he has no hold over me but he comes so that the world may learn that i love the father and do exactly what my father has commanded me come now let us leave [Music] [Music] oh i am the true vine and my father is the gardener [Music] he cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful you are already clean because of the word i have spoken to you [Music] remain in me as i also remain in you no branch can bear fruit by itself it must remain in the vine neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me i am the vine you are the branches if you remain in me and i in you you will bear much fruit apart from me you can do nothing if you do not remain in me you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers such branches are picked up thrown into the fire and burned if you remain in me and my words remain in you ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you this is to my father's glory that you bear much fruit showing yourselves to be my disciples [Music] as the father has loved me so have i loved you now remain in my love if you keep my commands you will remain in my love just as i have kept my father's commands and remain in his love i have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete my command is this love each other as i have loved you greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends you are my friends if you do what i command i no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business instead i have called you friends for everything that i learned from my father i have made known to you [Music] you did not choose me but i chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit fruit that will last and so that whatever you ask in my name the father will give you this is my command love each other if the world hates you keep in mind that it hated me first if you belonged to the world it would love you as its own as it is you do not belong to the world but i have chosen you out of the world that is why the world hates you remember what i told you a servant is not greater than his master if they persecuted me they will persecute you also if they obey my teaching they will obey yours also they will treat you this way because of my name for they do not know the one who sent me if i had not come and spoken to them they would not be guilty of sin but now they have no excuse for their sin whoever hates me hates my father as well if i had not done among them the works no one else did they would not be guilty of sin as it is they have seen and yet they have hated both me and my father but this is to fulfill what is written in their lord they hated me without reason when the advocate comes whom i was sent to you from the father the spirit of truth who goes out from the father he will testify about me and you also must testify for you have been with me from the beginning all this i have told you so that you will not fall away they will put you out of the synagogue in fact the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to god [Music] they will do such things because they have not known the father or me i have told you this so that when their time comes you will remember that i warned you about them i did not tell you this from the beginning because i was with you but now i am going to him who sent me none of you asks me where are you going rather you are filled with grief because i have said these things but very truly i tell you it is for your good that i am going away unless i go away the advocate will not come to you but if i go i will send him to you when he comes he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment about sin because people do not believe in me about righteousness because i am going to the father where you can see me no longer and about judgment because the prince of this world now stands condemned i have much more to say to you more than you can now bear but when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all the truth he will not speak on his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come [Music] he will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you all that belongs to the father is mine [Music] that is why i said the spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you [Music] jesus went on to say in a little while you will see me no more then after a little while you will see me at this some of his disciples said to one another what does he mean by saying in a little while you will see me no more and then after a little while you will see me and because i am going to the father they kept asking what does he mean by a little while we don't understand what he is saying jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this so he said to them are you asking one another what i meant when i said in a little while you will see me no more and then after a little while you will see me very truly i tell you you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices you will grieve but your grief will turn to joy a woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world so with you now is your time of grief but i will see you again and you will rejoice and no one will take away your joy in that day you will no longer ask me anything very truly i tell you my father will give you whatever you ask in my name until now you have not asked for anything in my name ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete though i have been speaking figuratively a time is coming when i will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my father in that day you will ask in my name i am not saying that i will ask the father on your behalf no the father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that i came from god i came from the father and entered the world now i am leaving the world and going back to the father then jesus's disciples said now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions this makes us believe that you came from god do you now believe jesus replied a time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered each to your own home you will leave me all alone yet i am not alone for my father is with me i have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this world you will have trouble but take heart i have overcome the world [Music] after jesus said this he looked towards heaven and prayed father the hour has come glorify your son that your son may glorify you [Music] for you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him now this is eternal life that they know you the only true god and jesus christ whom you have sent i have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do and now father glorify me in your presence with the glory i had with you before the world began i have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world they were yours you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word now they know that everything you have given me comes from you for i gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them they knew with certainty that i came from you and they believed that you sent me [Music] i pray for them i am not praying for the world but for those you have given me for they are yours all i have is yours and all you have is mine and glory has come to me through them i will remain in the world no longer but they are still in the world and i am coming to you holy father protect them by the power of your name the name you gave me so that they may be one as we are one while i was with them i protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me none has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that scripture would be fulfilled i am coming to you now but i say these things while i am still in the world so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them i have given them your word and the world has hated them for they are not of the world any more than i am of the world my prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one they are not of the world even as i am not of it sanctify them by the truth your word is truth as you sent me into the world i have sent them into the world for them i sanctify myself that they too may be truly sanctified my prayer is not for them alone i pray also for those who will believe in me through their message that all of them may be one father just as you 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 i have given them the glory that you gave me that they may be one as we are one i in them and you in me so that they may be brought to complete unity then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me father i want those you have given me to be with me where i am and to see my glory the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world righteous father though the world does not know you i know you and they know that you have sent me i have made you known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that i myself may be in them when he had finished praying jesus left with his disciples and crossed the kidron valley on the other side there was a garden and he and his disciples went into it now judas who betrayed him knew the place because jesus had often met there with his disciples so judas came to the garden guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the pharisees [Music] they were carrying torches lanterns and weapons jesus knowing all that was going to happen to him went out and asked them who is it you want jesus of nazareth they replied i am he jesus said and judas the traitor was standing there with them when jesus said i am he they drew back and fell to the ground again he asked them who is it you want jesus of nazareth they said jesus answered i told you that i am he if you are looking for me then let these men go happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled i have not lost one of those you then gave peter who had a sword drew it and struck the high priest's servant cutting off his right ear the servant's name was malcus because jesus commanded peter put your sword away [Music] shall i not drink the cup the father has given me [Music] so [Music] [Music] then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the jewish officials arrested jesus they bound him and brought him first to anas who was the father-in-law of caiaphas the high priest that year caiaphas was the one who had advised the jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people simon peter and another disciple were following jesus because this disciple was known to the high priest he went with jesus into the high priest's courtyard but peter had to wait outside at the door the other disciple who was known to the high priest came back spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought peter in you aren't one of this man's disciples too are you she asked peter he replied i am not it was cold and the servants and officials stood round of fire they had made to keep warm peter also was standing with them warming himself meanwhile the high priest questioned jesus about his disciples and his teaching i have spoken openly to the world jesus replied i always taught in synagogues or at the temple where all the jews come together i said nothing in secret why question me ask those who heard me surely they know what i said when jesus said this one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face is this the way you answer the high priest you demanded if i said something wrong jesus replied testify as to what is wrong but if i spoke the truth why did you strike me [Music] then ana sent him bound to caiaphas the high priest meanwhile simon peter was still standing there warming himself so they asked him you aren't one of his disciples too are you he denied it saying i am not one of the high priest's servants a relative of the man whose ear peter had cut off challenged him didn't i see you with him in the garden again peter denied it and at that moment a began to crow [Music] then the jewish leaders took jesus from caiaphas to the palace of the roman government by now it was early morning and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace because they wanted to be able to eat the passover so pilate came out to them and asked what charges are you bringing against this man if he were not a criminal they replied we would not have handed him over to you [Music] [Applause] pilate said take him yourselves and judge him by your own law but we have no right to execute anyone they objected this took place to fulfill what jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die pilate then went back inside the palace summoned jesus and asked him are you the king of the jews is that your own idea jesus asked or did others talk to you about me am i a jew pilate replied your own people and chief priests handed you over to me what is it you have done jesus said my kingdom is not of this world if it were my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the jewish leaders but now my kingdom is from another place [Music] you are a king then said pilate jesus answered you say that i am a king in fact the reason i was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth everyone on the side of truth listens to me [Music] what is truth we taught it pilate with this he went out again to the jews gathered there and said i find no basis for a charge against him but it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the passover do you want me to release the king of the jews they shouted back no not him give us barabbas now barabbas had taken part in an uprising then pilate took jesus and had him flogged the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head they clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again saying hail king of the jews and they slapped him in the face [Music] once more pilate came out and said to the jews gathered there look i am bringing him out to you to let you know that i find no basis for a charge against him [Applause] when jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe pilate said to them here is the man as soon as the chief priests and the officials saw him they shouted crucify crucify but pilate answered you take him and crucify him as for me i find no basis for a charge against him [Applause] the jewish leaders insisted we have a law and according to that law he must die because he claimed to be the son of god when pilate heard this he was even more afraid and he went back inside the palace where do you come from he asked jesus but jesus gave him no answer do you refuse to speak to me pilate said don't you realize i have power either to free you or to crucify you jesus answered you would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin from then on pilate tried to set jesus free but the jewish leaders kept shouting if you let this man go you are no friend of caesar anyone who claims to be a king opposes caesar when pilate heard this he brought jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the stone pavement which in aramaic is gabatha it was the day of preparation of the passover it was about noon here is your king pilate said to the jews but they shouted take him away take him away crucify him shall i crucify your king pilate asked we have no king but caesar the chief priests answered finally pilate handed him over to them to be crucified [Music] so the soldiers took charge of jesus [Music] [Music] carrying his own cross he went out to the place of the skull which in aramaic is called [Applause] there they crucified him and with him two others one on each side and jesus in the middle [Music] pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross it read jesus of nazareth the king of the jews many of the jews read this sign for the place where jesus was crucified was near the city and the sign was written in aramaic latin and greek the chief priests of the jews protested to pilate do not write the king of the jews but that this man claimed to be king of the jews pilate answered what i have written i have written when the soldiers crucified jesus they took his clothes dividing them into four shares one for each of them with the undergarment remaining this garment was seamless woven in one piece from top to bottom let's not tear it they said to one another let's decide by lot and we'll get it [Music] this happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said they divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment so this is what the soldiers did near the cross of jesus stood his mother his mother's sister mary the wife of clophas and mary magdalene when jesus saw his mother there and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby he said to her woman here is your son and to the disciple here is your mother from that time on this disciple took her into his home [Music] later knowing that everything had now been finished and so that scripture would be fulfilled jesus said i am thirsty [Music] a jar of wine vinegar was there so they soaked a sponge in it put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant and lifted it to jesus's lips when he had received the drink jesus said it is finished [Music] with that he bowed his head and gave up his spirit [Music] amen [Music] now it was the day of preparation and the next day was to be a special sabbath because the jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the sabbath they asked pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down the soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with jesus and then those of the other but when they came to jesus and found that he was already dead they did not break his legs instead one of the soldiers pierced jesus's side with a spear bringing a sudden flow of blood and water [Music] the man who saw it has given testimony and his testimony is true he knows that he tells the truth and he testifies so that you also may believe these things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled not one of his bones will be broken and as another scripture says they will look on the one they have pierced [Music] later joseph of arimathea asked pilate for the body of jesus now joseph was a disciple of jesus but secretly because he feared the jewish leaders with pilate's permission he came and took the body away he was accompanied by nicodemus the man who earlier had visited jesus at night [Music] nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about 35 kilograms taking jesus's body the two of them wrapped it with the spices in strips of linen this was in accordance with jewish burial custom at the place where jesus was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid because it was the jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby they laid jesus there [Music] early on the first day of the week while it was still dark mary magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance so she came running to simon peter and the other disciple the one jesus loved and said they have taken the lord out of the tomb and we don't know where they have put him so peter and the other disciples started for the tomb both were running but the other disciple outran peter and reached the tomb first he bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in then simon peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb he saw the strips of linen lying there as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around jesus's head the cloth was still lying in its place separate from the linen finally the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went inside he saw and believed they still did not understand from scripture that jesus had to rise from the dead [Music] then the disciples went back to where they were staying [Music] now mary stood outside the tomb crying as she wept she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white seated where jesus's body had been one at the head and the other at the foot they asked her woman why are you crying they have taken my lord away she said and i don't know where they have put him at this she turned round and saw jesus standing there but she did not realize that it was jesus he asked her woman why are you crying who is it you are looking for thinking he was the gardener she said sir if you have carried him away tell me where you have put him and i will get him jesus said to her mary she turned towards him and cried out in aramaic rabbuni which means teacher [Music] jesus said do not hold on to me for i have not yet ascended to the father go instead to my brothers and tell them i am ascending to my father and your father to my god and your god [Music] mary magdalene went to the disciples with the news i have seen the lord and she told them that he had said these things to her on the evening of that first day of the week when the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the jewish leaders jesus came and stood among them and said peace be with you [Music] after he said this he showed them his hands inside the disciples were overjoyed when they saw the lord again jesus said peace be with you as the father has sent me i am sending you and with that he breathed on them and said receive the holy spirit if you forgive anyone's sins their sins are forgiven if you do not forgive them they are not forgiven now thomas also known as didymus one of the twelve was not with the disciples when jesus came so the other disciples told him we have seen the lord but he said to them unless i see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were and put my hand into his side i will not believe a week later his disciples were in the house again and thomas was with them though the doors were locked jesus came and stood among them and said peace be with you oh then he said to thomas put your finger here see my hands reach out your hand and put it into my side stop doubting and believe thomas said to him my lord and my god then jesus told him because you have seen me you have believed [Music] blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed [Music] jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples which are not recorded in this book [Music] but these are written that you may believe that jesus is the messiah the son of god and that by believing you may have life in his name [Music] afterwards jesus appeared again to his disciples by the sea of galilee it happened this way simon peter thomas also known as didymus nathaniel from cana in galilee the sons of zebedee and two other disciples were together i'm going out to fish simon peter told them and they said we'll go with you so they went out and got into the boat but that night they caught nothing [Music] early in the morning jesus stood on the shore but the disciples did not realize that it was jesus he called out to them friends haven't you any fish no they answered he said throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some when they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish then the disciple whom jesus loved said to peter it is the lord as soon as simon peter heard him say it is the lord he wrapped his outer garment around him for he had taken it off and jumped into the water the other disciples followed in the boat towing the net full of fish for they were not far from shore about a hundred meters when they landed they saw a fire a burning coals there with fish on it and some bread jesus said to them bring some of the fish you have just caught so simon peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore it was full of large fish 153 but even with so many the net was not torn jesus said to them come and have breakfast none of the disciples dared ask him who are you they knew it was the lord jesus came took the bread and gave it to them and did the same with the fish this was now the third time jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead [Music] when they had finished eating jesus said to simon peter simon son of john do you love me more than these yes lord he said you know that i love you jesus said feed my lambs again jesus said simon son of john do you love me he answered yes lord you know that i love you jesus said take care of my sheep the third time he said to him simon son of john do you love me peter was hurt because jesus asked him the third time do you love me he said lord you know all things you know that i love you jesus said feed my sheep very truly i tell you when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which peter would glorify god then he said to him follow me peter turned and saw that the disciple whom jesus loved was following them this was the one who had leaned back against jesus at the supper and had said lord who is going to betray you when peter saw him he asked lord what about him [Music] jesus answered if i want him to remain alive until i return what is that to you you must follow me because of this the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die but jesus did not say that he would not die he only said if i want him to remain alive until i return what is that to you this is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down [Music] we know that his testimony is true jesus did many other things as well if every one of them were written down i suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written [Music] you
