Thus the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you can do nothing. Look, the world has run off after him!”

But Jesus shouted out, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.

For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.”

Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”

One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was at the table to the right of Jesus in a place of honor.

Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves.

In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

“Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.

They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men know that you sent me.

(Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, knew the place too, because Jesus had met there many times with his disciples.)

So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees. They came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and weapons.
