REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT
41 “ Lord,” Pe ter  asked, “ are  you tell ing  this par-
a ble  to  us  or  to ev ery one? ”
42  The  Lord  said: “ Who  then  is  the faith ful 
 and sen si ble man ag er  his mas ter  will  put 
 in  charge  of  his house hold ser vants  to  give 
 them  their al lot ted  food  at  the prop er  time? 43  Blessed  is  that ser vant  whom  the mas ter 
 finds do ing  his  job  when  he  comes. 44 Tru ly 
 I  tell  you,  he  will  put  him  in  charge  of  all  his 
pos ses sions. 45  But  if  that ser vant  says  in  his 
 heart, ‘ My mas ter  is delaying  his com ing,’  and 
starts  to  beat  the  male  and fe male ser vants, 
 and  to  eat  and  drink  and  get  drunk, 46  that 
ser vant’s mas ter  will  come  on  a  day  he  does 
 not ex pect  him  and  at  an  hour  he  does  not 
 know . He  will  cut  him  to  pieces d  and as sign 
 him  a  place  with  the un faith ful. e 47  And  that 
ser vant  who  knew  his mas ter’s  will  and  didn’t 
pre pare him self  or  do  it f  will  be se vere ly beat-

 what de served pun ish ment  will re ceive  a  light

 don’t re cline  at  the  best  place, be cause  a  more 
dis tin guished per son  than  you  may  have  been

tion,  you  will pro ceed  to  take  the low est  place. 10 “ But  when  you  are in vit ed,  go  and re cline 
 in  the low est  place,  so  that  when  the  one  who 
in vit ed  you  comes,  he  will  say  to  you, ‘ Friend, 
 move  up high er.’  You  will  then  be hon ored

THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SON
11  He  also  said: “ A  man  had  two  sons. 12  The 
youn ger  of  them  said  to  his fa ther, ‘Fa ther, 
 give  me  the  share  of  the es tate  I  have com-

 them.

 longed  to  eat  his  fill  from f  the  pods  that  the 
 pigs  were eat ing,  but  no  one  would  give  him 
any thing. 17  When  he  came  to  his sens es, g  he 
 said, ‘ How  many  of  my fa ther’s  hired work-

 up  and  went  to  his fa ther. But  while  the  son 
 was  still  a  long  way  off,  his fa ther  saw  him  and 
 was  filled  with com pas sion. He  ran,  threw  his 
 arms  around  his  neck,  and  kissed  him. 21  The 
 son  said  to  him, ‘Fa ther,  I  have  sinned  against 
heav en  and  in  your  sight. I’m  no lon ger wor thy 
 to  be  called  your  son.’
22 “ But  the fa ther  told  his ser vants, ‘ Quick! Bring  out  the  best  robe  and  put  it  on  him;  put

19 “ There  was  a  rich  man  who  would  dress  in

ham’s  side. e  The  rich  man  also  died  and  was 
bur ied. 23  And be ing  in tor ment  in Ha des,  he 
 looked  up  and  saw Abra ham  a  long  way  off, 
 with Laz a rus  at  his  side. 24 ‘Fa ther Abra ham! ’ 
 he  called  out, ‘ Have mer cy  on  me  and  send 
Laz a rus  to  dip  the  tip  of  his fin ger  in wa ter 
 and  cool  my  tongue, be cause  I  am  in ag o ny

25 “ ‘ Son,’  f Abra ham  said, ‘re mem ber  that

 things,  just  as Laz a rus re ceived  bad  things, 
 but  now  he  is com fort ed  here,  while  you  are

“ No  one  is  good ex cept  God  alone. 20  You

 not  bear  false wit ness; hon or  your fa ther 
 and moth er.” d
21 “ I  have  kept  all  these  from  my  youth,”  he 
 said. 22  When  Jesus  heard  this,  he  told  him, “ You 
 still  lack  one  thing:  Sell  all  you  have  and dis trib-
ute  it  to  the  poor,  and  you  will  have trea sure 
 in heav en. Then  come, fol low  me.”
23 Af ter  he  heard  this,  he be came ex treme ly 
 sad, be cause  he  was  very  rich. POSSESSIONS AND THE KINGDOM
24 See ing  that  he be came  sad, e  Jesus  said, 
“ How  hard  it  is  for  those  who  have  wealth 
 to en ter  the king dom  of  God! 25  For  it  is eas-
i er  for  a cam el  to  go  through  the  eye  of  a 
nee dle  than  for  a  rich per son  to en ter  the 
king dom  of  God.”
26  Those  who  heard  this  asked, “ Then  who 
 can  be  saved? ”
27  He re plied, “ What  is im pos si ble  with  man 
 is pos si ble  with  God.”
28  Then Pe ter  said, “ Look,  we  have  left  what 
 we  had  and fol lowed  you.”
29  So  he  said  to  them, “Tru ly  I  tell  you,  there 
 is  no  one  who  has  left  a  house,  wife  or broth-
ers  or sis ters, par ents  or chil dren be cause  of 
 the king dom  of  God, 30  who  will  not re ceive 
 many  times  more  at  this  time,  and eter nal  life 
 in  the  age  to  come.”
THE THIRD PREDICTION OF HIS DEATH
31  Then  he  took  the  Twelve  aside  and  told  them, 
“ See,  we  are go ing  up  to Je ru sa lem. Ev ery thing 
 that  is writ ten  through  the proph ets  about 
 the  Son  of  Man  will  be ac com plished. 32  For 
 he  will  be hand ed  over  to  the Gen tiles,  and  he 
 will  be  mocked, in sult ed,  spit  on; 33  and af ter 
 they  flog  him,  they  will  kill  him,  and  he  will 
 rise  on  the  third  day .”
34  They un der stood  none  of  these  things. The mean ing  of  the say ing f  was hid den  from 
 them,  and  they  did  not  grasp  what  was  said. A BLIND MAN RECEIVES HIS SIGHT
35  As  he ap proached Jer i cho,  a  blind  man 
 was sit ting  by  the  road beg ging. 36 Hear ing 
 a  crowd pass ing  by ,  he in quired  what  was 
hap pen ing. 37 “ Jesus  of Naz a reth  is pass ing

JESUS VISITS ZACCHAEUS
19 
 He en tered Jer i cho  and  was pass ing 
 through. 2  There  was  a  man  named Zac-
chae us  who  was  a  chief  tax col lec tor,  and  he  was 
 rich. 3  He  was try ing  to  see  who  Jesus  was,  but 
 he  was  not  able be cause  of  the  crowd,  since  he 
 was  a  short  man. 4  So run ning  ahead,  he  climbed 
 up  a syc a more  tree  to  see  Jesus,  since  he  was 
 about  to  pass  that  way . 5  When  Jesus  came  to 
 the  place,  he  looked  up  and  said  to  him, “Zac-
chae us, hur ry  and  come  down be cause to day 
 it  is nec es sary  for  me  to  stay  at  your  house.”
6  So  he quick ly  came  down  and wel comed 
 him joy ful ly . 7  All  who  saw  it be gan  to com-
plain, “ He’s  gone  to  stay  with  a sin ful  man.”
8  But Zac chae us  stood  there  and  said  to  the 
 Lord, “ Look,  I’ll  give  half  of  my pos ses sions  to 
 the  poor,  Lord. And  if  I  have extorted any thing 
 from any one,  I’ll  pay  back  four  times  as  much.”
9 “To day sal va tion  has  come  to  this  house,” 
 Jesus  told  him, “be cause  he  too  is  a  son  of 
Abra ham. 10  For  the  Son  of  Man  has  come  to 
 seek  and  to  save  the  lost.”
THE PARABLE OF THE TEN MINAS
11  As  they  were lis ten ing  to  this,  he  went  on  to 
 tell  a par a ble be cause  he  was  near Je ru sa lem, 
 and  they  thought  the king dom  of  God  was 
go ing  to ap pear  right  away . 12 There fore  he  said: “ A no ble man trav eled  to 
 a  far coun try  to re ceive  for him self au thor i ty 
 to  be  king a  and  then  to re turn. 13  He  called  ten 
 of  his ser vants,  gave  them  ten  minas, b  and  told 
 them, ‘En gage  in busi ness un til  I  come  back.’
14 “ But  his sub jects hat ed  him  and  sent  a 
del e ga tion af ter  him, say ing, ‘ We  don’t  want 
 this  man  to  rule  over  us.’
15 “ At  his re turn, hav ing re ceived  the au thor-
i ty  to  be  king,  he sum moned  those ser vants 
 he  had giv en  the mon ey  to,  so  that  he  could 
 find  out  how  much  they  had  made  in busi ness. 16  The  first  came for ward  and  said, ‘Mas ter, 
 your  mina  has  earned  ten  more  minas.’
17 “ ‘ Well  done,  good c ser vant! ’  he  told  him. ‘Be cause  you  have  been faith ful  in  a  very  small 
mat ter,  have au thor i ty  over  ten  towns.’
18 “ The sec ond  came  and  said, ‘Mas ter,  your 
 mina  has  made  five  minas.’
19 “ So  he  said  to  him, ‘ You  will  be  over  five 
 towns.’
20 “ And an oth er  came  and  said, ‘Mas ter, 
 here  is  your  mina. I  have  kept  it  safe  in  a  cloth 
21 be cause  I  was  afraid  of  you  since  you’re  a 
 harsh  man:  you col lect  what  you  didn’t de pos it 
 and  reap  what  you  didn’t  sow .’
22 “ He  told  him, ‘ I  will con demn  you  by  what 
 you  have  said,  you  evil ser vant! If  you  knew 
 I  was  a  harsh  man, col lect ing  what  I  didn’t 
de pos it  and reap ing  what  I  didn’t  sow , 23  w hy,  
 then,  didn’t  you  put  my mon ey  in  the  bank? And  when  I re turned,  I  would  have col lect ed 
 it  with in ter est.’ 24  So  he  said  to  those stand ing 
 there, ‘ Take  the  mina  away  from  him  and  give 
 it  to  the  one  who  has  ten  minas.’
25 “ But  they  said  to  him, ‘Mas ter,  he  has  ten 
 minas.’
26 “ ‘ I  tell  you,  that  to ev ery one  who  has,  more 
 will  be giv en;  and  from  the  one  who  does  not 
 have,  even  what  he  does  have  will  be tak en 
 away . 27  But  bring  here  these en e mies  of  mine, 
 who  did  not  want  me  to  rule  over  them,  and 
slaugh ter d  them  in  my pres ence.’ ”
THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
28  When  he  had  said  these  things,  he  went 
 on  ahead, go ing  up  to Je ru sa lem. 29  As  he 
ap proached Beth pha ge  and Beth a ny ,  at  the 
 place  called  the  Mount  of Ol ives,  he  sent  two 
 of  the dis ci ples 30  and  said, “ Go  into  the vil lage

 they dis cussed  it  among them selves  and  said, 
‘ This  is  the  heir. Let’s  kill  him,  so  that  the in-
her i tance  will  be  ours.’ 15  So  they  threw  him

5  Jesus an swered, “Tru ly  I  tell  you, un less 
some one  is  born  of wa ter  and  the Spir it,  he

 to  a  town  of Sa mar ia  called Sy char  near  the

 about  noon. e
7  A wom an  of Sa mar ia  came  to  draw wa ter. “ Give  me  a  drink,”  Jesus  said  to  her, 8 be cause 
 his dis ci ples  had  gone  into  town  to  buy  food. 9 “ How  is  it  that  you,  a  Jew ,  ask  for  a  drink

lieved  in  him be cause  of  what  the wom an  said b 
 when  she tes ti fied, “ He  told  me ev ery thing  I

 stayed  there  two  days. 41  Many  more be lieved

wom an, “ We  no lon ger be lieve be cause  of  what 
 you  said,  since  we  have  heard  for our selves 
 and  know  that  this real ly  is  the Sav ior  of  the

A GALILEAN WELCOME
43 Af ter  two  days  he  left  there  for Gal i lee. 44 ( Jesus him self  had tes ti fied  that  a proph et 
 has  no hon or  in  his  own coun try .) 45  When  they 
en tered Gal i lee,  the Gal i le ans wel comed  him 
be cause  they  had  seen ev ery thing  he  did  in 
Je ru sa lem dur ing  the fes ti val. For  they  also 
 had  gone  to  the fes ti val. THE SECOND SIGN: HEALING AN OFFICIAL’S SON
46  He  went  again  to  Cana  of Gal i lee,  where  he 
 had  turned  the wa ter  into  wine. There  was  a 
cer tain roy al off  i cial  whose  son  was  ill  at Ca-
per na um. 47  When  this  man  heard  that  Jesus 
 had  come  from Ju dea  into Gal i lee,  he  went 
 to  him  and plead ed  with  him  to  come  down 
 and  heal  his  son,  since  he  was  about  to  die. 48  Jesus  told  him, “Un less  you peo ple  see 
 signs  and won ders,  you  will  not be lieve.”
49 “ Sir,”  the off  i cial  said  to  him, “ come  down 
be fore  my  boy  dies.”
50 “ Go,”  Jesus  told  him, “ your  son  will  live.” 
 The  man be lieved  what e  Jesus  said  to  him  and 
de part ed. 51  While  he  was  still go ing  down,  his ser-
vants  met  him say ing  that  his  boy  was  alive. 52  He  asked  them  at  what  time  he  got bet ter. “Yes ter day  at  one  in  the af ter noon f  the fe ver

 this  was  the  very  hour  at  which  Jesus  had

be lieved,  along  with  his  whole house hold. 54  Now  this  was  also  the sec ond  sign  Jesus 
per formed af ter  he  came  from Ju dea  to Gal i lee. THE THIRD SIGN: HEALING THE SICK
5 
Af ter  this,  a Jew ish fes ti val  took  place, 
 and  Jesus  went  up  to Je ru sa lem. 2  By  the

 up  his  mat,  and start ed  to  walk. Now  that  day  was  the Sab bath, 10  and  so  the 
 Jews  said  to  the  man  who  had  been  healed,

 from picking  up  your  mat.”

 up  a moun tain  and  sat  down  there  with  his

 a  huge  crowd com ing to ward  him,  he  asked 
Phil ip, “ Where  will  we  buy  bread  so  that  these 
peo ple  can  eat? ” 6  He  asked  this  to  test  him, 
 for  he him self  knew  what  he  was go ing  to  do. 7 Phil ip an swered  him, “ Two hun dred de-

 There  was plen ty  of  grass  in  that  place;  so 
 they  sat  down. The  men num bered  about  five

22  The  next  day ,  the  crowd  that  had  stayed  on

 only  one  boat. d  They  also  saw  that  Jesus  had 
 not board ed  the  boat  with  his dis ci ples,  but 
 that  his dis ci ples  had  gone  off  alone. 23  Some 
 boats  from Ti be ri as  came  near  the  place  where 
 they  had eat en  the  bread af ter  the  Lord  had 
giv en  thanks. 24  When  the  crowd  saw  that nei-

 got  into  the  boats  and  went  to Ca per na um 
look ing  for  Jesus. 25  When  they  found  him 
 on  the oth er  side  of  the  sea,  they  said  to  him, 
“Rab bi,  when  did  you  get  here? ”
26  Jesus an swered, “Tru ly  I  tell  you,  you  are 
look ing  for  me,  not be cause  you  saw e  the  signs, 
 but be cause  you  ate  the  loaves  and  were  filled. 27  Don’t  work  for  the  food  that per ish es  but 
 for  the  food  that  lasts  for eter nal  life,  which 
 the  Son  of  Man  will  give  you, be cause  God  the

12  Jesus  spoke  to  them  again: “ I  am  the  light 
 of  the  world. Any one  who fol lows  me  will 
nev er  walk  in  the dark ness  but  will  have  the 
 light  of  life.”
13  So  the Phar i sees  said  to  him, “ You  are 
tes ti fy ing  about your self. Your tes ti mo ny  is 
 not val id.”
14 “ Even  if  I tes ti fy  about my self,”  Jesus re plied, 
“ My tes ti mo ny  is  true, be cause  I  know  where  I 
 came  from  and  where  I’m go ing. But  you  don’t 
 know  where  I  come  from  or  where  I’m go ing.

TRUTH AND FREEDOM
30  As  he  was say ing  these  things,  many be-
lieved  in  him. 31  Then  Jesus  said  to  the  Jews  who  had be-
lieved  him, “ If  you con tin ue  in  my  word, c  you 
real ly  are  my dis ci ples. 32  You  will  know  the 
 truth,  and  the  truth  will  set  you  free.”
33 “ We  are de scen dants d  of Abra ham,”  they 
an swered  him, “ and  we  have nev er  been en-
slaved  to any one. How  can  you  say , ‘ You  will 
be come  free’? ”
34  Jesus re spond ed, “Tru ly  I  tell  you, ev ery one 
 who com mits  sin  is  a  slave  of  sin. 35  A  slave 
 does  not re main  in  the house hold for ev er,  but 
 a  son  does re main for ev er. 36  So  if  the  Son  sets 
 you  free,  you real ly  will  be  free. 37  I  know  you

 you  have  heard  from  your fa ther.”
39 “ Our fa ther  is Abra ham,”  they re plied. “ If  you  were Abra ham’s chil dren,”  Jesus 
 told  them, “ you  would  do  what Abra ham  did. 40  But  now  you  are try ing  to  kill  me,  a  man

THE SIXTH SIGN: HEALING A MAN BORN BLIND
9 
 As  he  was pass ing  by ,  he  saw  a  man  blind 
 from  birth. 2  His dis ci ples  asked  him: “Rab-
bi,  who  sinned,  this  man  or  his par ents,  that 
 he  was  born  blind? ”
3 “Nei ther  this  man  nor  his par ents  sinned,” 
 Jesus an swered. “ This  came  about  so  that  God’s 
 works  might  be dis played  in  him. 4  We f  must 
 do  the  works  of  him  who  sent  me g  while  it  is 
 day . Night  is com ing  when  no  one  can  work. 5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  I  am  the  light 
 of  the  world.”
6 Af ter  he  said  these  things  he  spit  on  the 
 ground,  made  some  mud  from  the sa li va,  and 
 spread  the  mud  on  his  eyes. 7 “ Go,”  he  told  him, 
“ wash  in  the  pool  of Si lo am” ( which  means 
“ Sent”). So  he  left,  washed,  and  came  back

JESUS AT THE FESTIVAL OF DEDICATION
22  Then  the Fes ti val  of Ded i ca tion  took  place 
 in Je ru sa lem,  and  it  was win ter. 23  Jesus  was 
walk ing  in  the tem ple  in Sol o mon’s Col on nade. 24  The  Jews sur round ed  him  and  asked, “ How 
 long  are  you go ing  to  keep  us  in sus pense? a  If 
 you  are  the Mes si ah,  tell  us plain ly .” b
25 “ I  did  tell  you  and  you  don’t be lieve,”  Jesus 
an swered  them. “ The  works  that  I  do  in  my Fa-
ther’s  name tes ti fy  about  me. 26  But  you  don’t 
be lieve be cause  you  are  not  of  my  sheep. c 27  My 
 sheep  hear  my  voice,  I  know  them,  and  they 
fol low  me. 28  I  give  them eter nal  life,  and  they 
 will nev er per ish. No  one  will  snatch  them 
 out  of  my  hand. 29  My Fa ther,  who  has giv en 
 them  to  me,  is great er  than  all. No  one  is  able 
 to  snatch  them  out  of  the Fa ther’s  hand. 30  I 
 and  the Fa ther  are  one.”
RENEWED EFFORTS TO STONE JESUS
31  Again  the  Jews  picked  up  rocks  to  stone  him. 32  Jesus re plied, “ I  have  shown  you  many 
 good  works  from  the Fa ther. For  which  of 
 these  works  are  you ston ing  me? ”
33 “ We  aren’t ston ing  you  for  a  good  work,” 
 the  Jews an swered, “ but  for blas phe my , be-
cause  you  —  be ing  a  man  —   make your self 
 God.”
34  Jesus an swered  them, “ Isn’t  it writ ten 
 in  your  law , d  I  said,  you  are  gods? e 35  If  he 
 called  those  whom  the  word  of  God  came  to 
‘ gods’  —   and  the Scrip ture can not  be bro-
ken — 36  do  you  say , ‘ You  are blas phem ing’ 
 to  the  one  the Fa ther  set  apart  and  sent  into 
 the  world, be cause  I  said:  I  am  the  Son  of  God? 37  If  I  am  not do ing  my Fa ther’s  works,  don’t

11 
 Now  a  man  was  sick, Laz a rus  from Beth-
a ny ,  the vil lage  of  Mary  and  her sis ter 
Mar tha. 2  Mary  was  the  one  who anoint ed  the 
 Lord  with per fume  and  wiped  his  feet  with 
 her  hair,  and  it  was  her broth er Laz a rus  who 
 was  sick. 3  So  the sis ters  sent  a mes sage  to  him: 
“ Lord,  the  one  you  love  is  sick.”
4  When  Jesus  heard  it,  he  said, “ This sick ness 
 will  not  end  in  death  but  is  for  the glo ry  of 
 God,  so  that  the  Son  of  God  may  be glo ri fied 
 through  it.” 5  Now  Jesus  loved Mar tha,  her 
sis ter,  and Laz a rus. 6  So  when  he  heard  that  he 
 was  sick,  he  stayed  two  more  days  in  the  place 
 where  he  was.

28 Hav ing  said  this,  she  went  back  and  called 
 her sis ter  Mary , say ing  in pri vate, “ The Teach er 
 is  here  and  is call ing  for  you.”
29  As  soon  as  Mary  heard  this,  she  got  up

 come  into  the vil lage  but  was  still  in  the  place

 were  with  her  in  the  house con sol ing  her  saw 
 that  Mary  got  up quick ly  and  went  out. They 
fol lowed  her, sup pos ing  that  she  was go ing

 and  saw  him,  she  fell  at  his  feet  and  told  him, 
“ Lord,  if  you  had  been  here,  my broth er  would 
 not  have  died! ”

 moved a  in  his spir it  and trou bled. 34 “ Where

THE PLOT TO KILL JESUS
45 There fore,  many  of  the  Jews  who  came  to 
 Mary  and  saw  what  he  did be lieved  in  him. 46  But  some  of  them  went  to  the Phar i sees  and 
 told  them  what  Jesus  had  done. 47  So  the  chief  priests  and  the Phar i sees con-
vened  the San he drin  and  were say ing, “ What 
 are  we go ing  to  do  since  this  man  is do ing 
 many  signs? 48  If  we  let  him  go  on  like  this, 
ev ery one  will be lieve  in  him,  and  the Ro mans 
 will  come  and  take  away  both  our  place  and 
 our na tion.”
49  One  of  them, Cai a phas,  who  was  high 
 priest  that  year,  said  to  them, “ You  know noth-
ing  at  all! 50  You’re  not considering  that  it  is 
 to  your b ad van tage  that  one  man  should  die 
 for  the peo ple rath er  than  the  whole na tion 
per ish.” 51  He  did  not  say  this  on  his  own,  but 
be ing  high  priest  that  year  he proph e sied  that 
 Jesus  was go ing  to  die  for  the na tion, 52  and 
 not  for  the na tion  only ,  but  also  to  unite  the 
scat tered chil dren  of  God. 53  So  from  that  day

 a din ner  for  him  there; Mar tha  was serv ing

 pound  of per fume,  pure  and ex pen sive  nard, 
anoint ed  Jesus’s  feet,  and  wiped  his  feet  with

JESUS WASHES HIS DISCIPLES’ FEET

 that  his  hour  had  come  to de part  from 
 this  world  to  the Fa ther. Hav ing  loved  his  own 
 who  were  in  the  world,  he  loved  them  to  the  end.

 knew  that  the Fa ther  had giv en ev ery thing 
 into  his  hands,  that  he  had  come  from  God, 
 and  that  he  was go ing  back  to  God. 4  So  he  got 
 up  from sup per,  laid  aside  his out er cloth ing, 
 took  a tow el,  and  tied  it  around him self. 5  Next, 
 he  poured wa ter  into  a ba sin  and be gan  to 
 wash  his dis ci ples’  feet  and  to  dry  them  with 
 the tow el  tied  around  him. 6  He  came  to Si mon Pe ter,  who  asked  him, 
“ Lord,  are  you go ing  to  wash  my  feet? ”
7  Jesus an swered  him, “ What  I’m do ing  you 
 don’t re al ize  now ,  but af ter ward  you  will un-

8 “ You  will nev er  wash  my  feet,” Pe ter  said. Jesus re plied, “ If  I  don’t  wash  you,  you  have 
 no  part  with  me.”
9 Si mon Pe ter  said  to  him, “ Lord,  not  only  my 
 feet,  but  also  my  hands  and  my  head.”
10 “ One  who  has  bathed,”  Jesus  told  him, 
“ doesn’t  need  to  wash any thing ex cept  his 
 feet,  but  he  is com plete ly  clean. You  are  clean, 
 but  not  all  of  you.” 11  For  he  knew  who  would 
be tray  him. This  is  why  he  said, “ Not  all  of 
 you  are  clean.”
THE MEANING OF FOOT WASHING
12  When  Jesus  had  washed  their  feet  and  put 
 on  his out er cloth ing,  he re clined  again  and 
 said  to  them, “ Do  you  know  what  I  have  done 
 for  you? 13  You  call  me Teach er  and  Lord  —   and 
 you  are speak ing right ly ,  since  that  is  what  I  am. 14  So  if  I,  your  Lord  and Teach er,  have  washed 
 your  feet,  you  also  ought  to  wash  one an oth er’s 
 feet. 15  For  I  have giv en  you  an ex am ple,  that 
 you  also  should  do  just  as  I  have  done  for  you. 16 “Tru ly  I  tell  you,  a ser vant  is  not great er

THE CRUCIFIXION
 Then  they  took  Jesus  away . f 17 Car ry ing  the 
 cross  by him self,  he  went  out  to  what  is  called 
 Place  of  the  Skull,  which  in Ar a ma ic  is  called 
Gol go tha. 18  There  they cru ci fied  him  and  two 
oth ers  with  him,  one  on ei ther  side,  with  Jesus 
 in  the mid dle. 19 Pi late  also  had  a  sign  made  and 
 put  on  the  cross. It  said:  J esus  of  Nazareth, 
 the  K ing  of  the  J ews. 20  Many  of  the  Jews  read 
 this  sign, be cause  the  place  where  Jesus  was 
cru ci fied  was  near  the  city ,  and  it  was writ ten 
 in Ar a ma ic, Lat in,  and  Greek. 21  So  the  chief 
 priests  of  the  Jews  said  to Pi late, “ Don’t  write, 
‘ The  King  of  the  Jews,’  but  that  he  said, ‘ I  am 
 the  King  of  the  Jews.’ ”
22 Pi late re plied, “ What  I  have writ ten,  I  have 
writ ten.”
23  When  the sol diers cru ci fied  Jesus,  they 
 took  his  clothes  and di vid ed  them  into  four 
 parts,  a  part  for  each sol dier. They  also  took 
 the tu nic,  which  was seam less, wo ven  in  one 
 piece  from  the  top. 24  So  they  said  to  one an-
oth er, “ Let’s  not  tear  it,  but  cast  lots  for  it,  to 
 see  who  gets  it.”  This hap pened  that  the Scrip-
ture  might  be ful filled  that  says:  They di vid ed 
 my  clothes  among them selves,  and  they 
 cast  lots  for  my cloth ing. g  This  is  what  the 
sol diers  did. JESUS’S PROVISION FOR HIS MOTHER
25 Stand ing  by  the  cross  of  Jesus  were  his moth-
er,  his moth er’s sis ter,  Mary  the  wife  of Clo pas, 
 and  Mary Mag da lene. 26  When  Jesus  saw  his 
moth er  and  the dis ci ple  he  loved stand ing 
 there,  he  said  to  his moth er, “Wom an,  here 
 is  your  son.” 27  Then  he  said  to  the dis ci ple, 
“ Here  is  your moth er.”  And  from  that  hour 
 the dis ci ple  took  her  into  his  home. THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS
28 Af ter  this,  when  Jesus  knew  that ev ery thing 
 was  now fin ished  that  the Scrip ture  might  be 
ful filled,  he  said, “ I’m  thirsty .” 29  A  jar  full  of

JESUS’S BURIAL
38 Af ter  this, Jo seph  of Ar i ma thea,  who  was 
 a dis ci ple  of  Jesus  —   but se cret ly be cause  of 
 his  fear  of  the  Jews  —   asked Pi late  that  he 
 might re move  Jesus’s  body . Pi late  gave  him 
per mis sion;  so  he  came  and  took  his  body  away . 39 Nic o de mus ( who  had pre vi ous ly  come  to 
 him  at  night)  also  came, bring ing  a mix ture  of 
 about seventy-five  pounds d  of  myrrh  and al oes. 40  They  took  Jesus’s  body  and  wrapped  it  in 
lin en  cloths  with  the fra grant spic es, ac cord ing 
 to  the buri al cus tom  of  the  Jews. 41  There  was 
 a gar den  in  the  place  where  he  was cru ci fied. A  new  tomb  was  in  the gar den;  no  one  had  yet 
 been  placed  in  it. 42  They  placed  Jesus  there 
be cause  of  the Jew ish  day  of prep a ra tion  and

“They’ve tak en  the  Lord  out  of  the  tomb,  and 
 we  don’t  know  where they’ve  put  him! ”
3  At  that, Pe ter  and  the oth er dis ci ple  went 
 out, head ing  for  the  tomb. 4  The  two  were run-

Pe ter  and  got  to  the  tomb  first. 5 Stooping  down, 
 he  saw  the lin en  cloths ly ing  there,  but  he  did 
 not  go  in. 6  Then, fol low ing  him, Si mon Pe ter 
 also  came. He en tered  the  tomb  and  saw  the

THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMISED
4  While  he  was a  with  them,  he com mand ed 
 them  not  to  leave Je ru sa lem,  but  to  wait  for 
 the Fa ther’s prom ise. “ Which,”  he  said, “ you 
 have  heard  me  speak  about; 5  for  John bap tized 
 with wa ter,  but  you  will  be bap tized  with  the 
 Holy Spir it  in  a  few  days.”
6  So  when  they  had  come to geth er,  they  asked 
 him, “ Lord,  are  you re stor ing  the king dom  to 
Is ra el  at  this  time? ”
7  He  said  to  them, “ It  is  not  for  you  to  know 
 times  or pe ri ods  that  the Fa ther  has  set  by  his 
 own au thor i ty . 8  But  you  will re ceive pow er 
 when  the  Holy Spir it  has  come  on  you,  and 
 you  will  be  my wit ness es  in Je ru sa lem,  in  all 
Ju dea  and Sa mar ia,  and  to  the  end  of  the  earth.”
THE ASCENSION
9 Af ter  he  had  said  this,  he  was tak en  up  as 
 they  were watch ing,  and  a  cloud  took  him  out 
 of  their  sight. 10  While  he  was go ing,  they  were 
gaz ing  into heav en,  and sud den ly  two  men  in 
 white  clothes  stood  by  them. 11  They  said, “ Men 
 of Gal i lee,  why  do  you  stand look ing  up  into 
heav en? This  same  Jesus,  who  has  been tak en 
 from  you  into heav en,  will  come  in  the  same

 the proph ets  agree  with  this,  as  it  is writ ten:
 16 After these things I will return
  and rebuild David’s fallen tent. I will rebuild its ruins
  and set it up again,
 17 so the rest of humanity

 cause diff  i cul ties  for  those  among  the Gen tiles 
 who  turn  to  God, 20  but in stead  we  should  write 
 to  them  to ab stain  from  things pol lut ed  by  idols, 
 from sex u al im mo ral i ty ,  from eat ing any thing 
 that  has  been stran gled,  and  from  blood. 21  For

 Paul  and Bar na bas: Ju das,  called Bar sab bas, 
 and Si las,  both lead ing  men  among  the broth-
ers. 23  They  wrote:
“From the apostles and the elders, your 
brothers,
To the brothers and sisters among the 
Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
Greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some with -
out our authorization went out from us 
and troubled you with their words and 
unsettled your hearts,
 d 25 we have unan-
imously decided to select men and send 
them to you along with our dearly loved 
Barnabas and Paul, 26 who have risked 
their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ. 27 Therefore we have sent Judas and 
Silas, who will personally report the same 
things by word of mouth. 28 For it was the 
Holy Spirit’s decision  —  and ours  —  not to 
place further burdens on you beyond these 
requirements: 
29 that you abstain from 
food offered to idols, from blood, from eat-
ing anything that has been strangled, and 
from sexual immorality . You will do well 
if you keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”
