These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.

I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

Righteous Father,—and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;

but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.

But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.

But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?

Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?

But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.

They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.

But ye have a custom that I release [some] one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this [man], but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.
