^3 (A)Philip and ^[a]Bartholomew; ^(B)Thomas and ^(C)Matthew the tax collector; ^[b](D)James the son of Alphaeus, and ^(E)Thaddaeus;

⁴⁴ Now ^(A)Philip was from ^(B)Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ^45 (C)Philip *found ^(D)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(E)Moses in the Law and also ^(F)the Prophets wrote—Jesus of ^(G)Nazareth, ^(H)the son of Joseph.” ⁴⁶ Nathanael said to him, “^(I)Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” ^(J)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Behold, an ^(K)Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” ⁴⁸ Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before ^(L)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

⁵ Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to ^(A)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

^7 (A)Philip answered Him, “^(B)Two hundred ^[a]denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.”

²¹ these then came to ^(A)Philip, who was from ^(B)Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” ²² Philip *came and *told ^(C)Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus. ²³ And Jesus *answered them, saying, “^(D)The hour has come for the Son of Man to ^(E)be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(F)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. ^25 (G)He who loves his ^[a]life loses it, and he who ^(H)hates his ^[b]life in this world will keep it to life eternal. ²⁶ If anyone ^[c]serves Me, he must follow Me; and ^(I)where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone ^[d]serves Me, the Father will ^(J)honor him.

Jesus Foretells His Death

²⁷ “^(K)Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘^(L)Father, save Me from ^(M)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. ^28 (N)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a ^(O)voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” ²⁹ So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “^(P)An angel has spoken to Him.” ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, “^(Q)This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. ^31 (R)Now judgment is upon this world; now ^(S)the ruler of this world will be cast out. ³² And I, if I ^(T)am lifted up from the earth, will ^(U)draw all men to Myself.” ³³ But He was saying this ^(V)to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. ³⁴ The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of ^(W)the Law that ^[e](X)the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The ^(Y)Son of Man must be ^(Z)lifted up’? Who is this ^(AA)Son of Man?” ³⁵ So Jesus said to them, “^(AB)For a little while longer ^(AC)the Light is among you. ^(AD)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who ^(AE)walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. ³⁶ While you have the Light, ^(AF)believe in the Light, so that you may become ^(AG)sons of Light.”

These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and ^[f](AH)hid Himself from them. ³⁷ But though He had performed so many ^[g]signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him. ³⁸ This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “^(AI)Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ “^(AJ)He has blinded their eyes and He ^(AK)hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and ^[h]be converted and I heal them.” ⁴¹ These things Isaiah said because ^(AL)he saw His glory, and ^(AM)he spoke of Him. ⁴² Nevertheless ^(AN)many even of ^(AO)the rulers believed in Him, but ^(AP)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be ^[i](AQ)put out of the synagogue; ^43 (AR)for they loved the ^[j]approval of men rather than the ^[k]approval of God.

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, “^(AS)He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. ^45 (AT)He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. ^46 (AU)I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ^(AV)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ^48 (AW)He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; ^(AX)the word I spoke is what will judge him at ^(AY)the last day. ^49 (AZ)For I did not speak ^[l]on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ^(BA)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ I know that ^(BB)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ^(BC)just as the Father has told Me.”

^8 (A)Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” ⁹ Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? ^(B)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(C)I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ^(D)The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. ¹¹ Believe Me that ^(E)I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ^(F)believe because of the works themselves. ¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and ^(G)greater works than these he will do; because ^(H)I go to the Father. ^13 (I)Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that ^(J)the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything ^(K)in My name, I will do it.

¹⁵ “^(L)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Role of the Spirit

¹⁶ I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^[a](M)Helper, that He may be with you forever; ¹⁷ that is ^(N)the Spirit of truth, ^(O)whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; ^(P)I will come to you. ^19 [b](Q)After a little while ^(R)the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ^(S)because I live, you will live also. ^20 (T)In that day you will know that ^(U)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ^21 (V)He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(W)he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(X)disclose Myself to him.” ^22 (Y)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened ^(Z)that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(AA)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(AB)keep My word; and ^(AC)My Father will love him, and We ^(AD)will come to him and make Our abode with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me ^(AE)does not keep My words; and ^(AF)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. ²⁶ But the ^(AG)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(AH)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(AI)He will teach you all things, and ^(AJ)bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. ^27 (AK)Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(AL)Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. ^28 (AM)You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and ^(AN)I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because ^(AO)I go to the Father, for ^(AP)the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ Now ^(AQ)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. ³⁰ I will not speak much more with you, for ^(AR)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; ³¹ but so that the world may know that I love the Father, ^[c]I do exactly as ^(AS)the Father commanded Me. Get up, ^(AT)let us go from here.
