And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

…and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”

And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”

All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

After this, He went down to Capernaum with His mother and brothers and His disciples, and they stayed there a few days.

On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?

Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.

The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.

This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.

When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

…so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

“Sir,” they said, “give us this bread at all times.”

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

At this, the Jews began to grumble about Jesus because He had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a difficult teaching. Who can accept it?”

Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this teaching, Jesus asked them, “Does this offend you?

Then Jesus said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.”

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”

Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?

“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

…and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
