When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, &#8220;Crucify<n id="1" /> him! Crucify him!&#8221;<n id="2" /> Pilate said,<n id="3" /> &#8220;You take him and crucify him!<n id="4" /> Certainly<n id="5" /> I find no reason for an accusation<n id="6" /> against him!&#8221;

But these<n id="1" /> are recorded<n id="2" /> so that you may believe<n id="3" /> that Jesus is the Christ,<n id="4" /> the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.<n id="5" />p>

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>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them.<n id="1" /> (This was the disciple<n id="2" /> who had leaned back against Jesus&#8217;<n id="3" /> chest at the meal and asked,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?&#8221;)<n id="5" />

<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" />

<p class="bodytext">Then some of the Pharisees began to say,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This man is not from God, because he does not observe<n id="2" /> the Sabbath.&#8221;<n id="3" /> But others said, &#8220;How can a man who is a sinner perform<n id="4" /> such miraculous signs?&#8221; Thus there was a division<n id="5" /> among them.

<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" />

You did not choose me, but I chose you<n id="1" /> and appointed you to go and bear<n id="2" /> fruit, fruit that remains,<n id="3" /> so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

<p class="bodytext">Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath<n id="1" /> (for that Sabbath was an especially important one),<n id="2" /> the Jewish leaders<n id="3" /> asked Pilate to have the victims&#8217; legs<n id="4" /> broken<n id="5" /> and the bodies taken down.<n id="6" />

The other disciples told him, &#8220;We have seen the Lord!&#8221; But he replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Unless I see the wounds<n id="2" /> from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>
