John 15:13 — John 16:7
13 No one has greater love than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

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

15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all the things which I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you.

17 These things I command you that you may love one another.

18 If the world hates you, know that it has bhated Me before you.

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

20 Remember the word which I said to you, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also; if they have kept My word, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things they will do to you because of My name, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.

24 If I did not do among them the works which no one else has done, they would not have bsin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father.

25 But it is so that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, “They hated Me without cause.”

26 But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of reality, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning Me;

27 And you testify also, because from the beginning you have been with Me.

CHAPTER 16

1 These things I have spoken to you so that you would not be stumbled.

2 They will put you out of the synagogues; but an hour is coming for every one who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

3 And these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor Me.

4 But these things I have spoken to you that when their hour comes you may remember them, that I told you of them. Now these things I have not said to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

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

6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

John 14:25 — John 15:12

25 These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you;

26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you call things and remind you of all the things which I have said to you.

27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 You have heard that I said to you, I am going away and I am coming to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and in Me he has nothing;

31 But this is so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded Me, so I do. Rise, let us go from here.

CHAPTER 15

1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes it away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.

6 If one does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

8 In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so you will become My disciples.

9 As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be made full.

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another even as I have loved you.

John 14:2 — John 14:24
2 In My Father’s house are many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, so that where I am you also may be.

4 And where I am going you know the way.

5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?

6 Jesus said to him, I am the 1way and the reality and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and henceforth you know Him and have seen Him.

8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father and it is sufficient for us.

9 Jesus said to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how is it that you say, Show us the Father?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

12 Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes into Me, the works which I do he shall do also; and greater than these he shall do because I am going to the Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever,

17 Even the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be bin you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19 Yet a little while and the world beholds Me no longer, but you behold Me; because I live, you also shall live.

20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.

22 Judas, not Iscariot, said to Him, Lord, and what has happened that You are to manifest Yourself to us and not to the world?

23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him.

24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

John 13:18 — John 14:1
18 I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, “He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.”

19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe that I am.

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I shall send receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

21 When Jesus had said these things, He became troubled in His spirit, and He testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray Me.

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed over whom He was speaking about.

23 One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining on Jesus’ bosom.

24 Simon Peter therefore nodded to him to inquire who it might be about whom He was speaking.

25 Then he, while reclining thus on Jesus’ breast, said to Him, Lord, who is it?

26 Jesus answered, It is he for whom I will dip the morsel and to whom I will give it. And dipping the morsel, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 And at that moment, after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus therefore said to him, What you do, do quickly.

28 But none of those reclining at table knew why He said this to him.

29 For some supposed, since Judas held the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things that we have need of for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Therefore having taken the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night.

31 Then when he went out, Jesus said, Now has the Son of Man been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him.

32 If God has been glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him immediately.

33 Little children, I am still with you a little while; you will seek Me, and even as I said to the Jews, Where I am going, you cannot come, now I say to you also.

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

35 By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

36 Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are You going? Jesus answered him, Where I go you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.

37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my 1life for You.

38 Jesus answered, Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, A rooster shall by no means crow until you deny Me three times.

CHAPTER 14

1 Do not let your heart be troubled; believe into God, believe also into Me.

John 12:44 — John 13:17

44 But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes into Me does not believe into Me, but into Him who sent Me;

45 And he who beholds Me beholds Him who sent Me.

46 I have come as a light into the world, that every one who believes into Me would not remain in darkness.

47 And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has one who judges him; the word which I have spoken, that will judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken from Myself; but the Father who sent Me, He Himself has given Me commandment, what to say and what to speak.

50 And I know that His commandment is eternal life. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.

CHAPTER 13

1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come for Him to depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the uttermost.

2 And while supper was taking place, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray Him,

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

4 Rose from supper and laid aside His outer garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself;

5 Then He poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

6 He came then to Simon Peter. Peter said to Him, Lord, do You wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing you do not know now, but you will know after these things.

8 Peter said to Him, You shall by no means wash my feet forever. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.

9 Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus said to him, He who is bathed has no need except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.

11 For He knew the one betraying Him; for this reason He said, Not all of you are clean.

12 Then when He had washed their feet and taken His outer garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?

13 You call Me the Teacher and the Lord, and you say rightly, for I am.

14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15 For I have given you an example so that you also may do even as I have done to you.

16 Truly, truly, I say to you, A slave is not greater than his master, nor one who is sent greater than the one who sends him.

17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
