So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!”

The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!”

and he went back into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?”

He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified with Jesus, first the one and then the other.

So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me.”

This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining – this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

Jesus answered her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
