But I have told you this, so that when the time comes for them to do these things, you will remember what I told you. "I did not tell you these things at the beginning, for I was with you.

Jesus knew that they wanted to question him, so he said to them, "I said, ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then a little while later you will see me.' Is this what you are asking about among yourselves?

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete.

I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!"

After Jesus finished saying this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you.

For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.

And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.

While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost—so that the scripture might come true.

And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness.

I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one:

I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.

"Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made.

I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them."

So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches.

Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?"

(He said this so that what he had said might come true: "Father, I have not lost even one of those you gave me.")

Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was well known to the High Priest, so he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the High Priest's house,

It was cold, so the servants and guards had built a charcoal fire and were standing around it, warming themselves. So Peter went over and stood with them, warming himself.

Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, "Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?" But Peter denied it. "No, I am not," he said.
