<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Now my soul is greatly distressed. And what should I say? &#8216;Father, deliver me<n id="1" /> from this hour&#8217;?<n id="2" /> No, but for this very reason I have come to this hour.<n id="3" />

If anyone<n id="1" /> hears my words and does not obey them,<n id="2" /> I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.<n id="3" />

Children, I am still with you for a little while. You will look for me,<n id="1" /> and just as I said to the Jewish religious leaders,<n id="2" /> &#8216;Where I am going you cannot come,&#8217;<n id="3" /> now I tell you the same.<n id="4" />p>

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If anyone loves me, he will obey<n id="2" /> my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.<n id="3" />

You heard me say to you,<n id="1" /> &#8216;I am going away and I am coming back to you.&#8217; If you loved me, you would be glad<n id="2" /> that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.<n id="3" />

When the Advocate<n id="1" /> comes, whom I will send you from the Father &#8211; the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father &#8211; he<n id="2" /> will testify about me,

But I have told you these things<n id="1" /> so that when their time<n id="2" /> comes, you will remember that I told you about them.<n id="3" />p> <p class="bodytext">&#8220;I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.<n id="4" />

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate<n id="1" /> will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

When a woman gives birth, she has distress<n id="1" /> because her time<n id="2" /> has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being<n id="3" /> has been born into the world.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward<n id="1" /> to heaven<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Father, the time<n id="3" /> has come. Glorify your Son, so that your<n id="4" /> Son may glorify you &#8211;

I<n id="1" /> am no longer in the world, but<n id="2" /> they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe<n id="3" /> in your name<n id="4" /> that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.<n id="5" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now very early on the first day of the week,<n id="1" /> while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene<n id="2" /> came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.<n id="3" />

So she went running<n id="1" /> to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, &#8220;They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don&#8217;t know where they have put him!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house,<n id="1" /> and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked,<n id="2" /> Jesus came and stood among them and said, &#8220;Peace be with you!&#8221;

Simon Peter told them, &#8220;I am going fishing.&#8221; &#8220;We will go with you,&#8221; they replied.<n id="1" /> They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.p>

Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple courts,<n id="1" /> cried out,<n id="2" /> &#8220;You both know me and know where I come from!<n id="3" /> And I have not come on my own initiative,<n id="4" /> but the one who sent me<n id="5" /> is true. You do not know him,<n id="6" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time<n id="1" /> had come to depart<n id="2" /> from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end.<n id="3" />

Then Pilate said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;So you are a king!&#8221; Jesus replied, &#8220;You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world &#8211; to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to<n id="2" /> my voice.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders<n id="1" />),<n id="2" /> asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate<n id="3" /> gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.<n id="4" />
