18If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but becauseyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.20Remember the word that I said to you:A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me,they will also persecute you.If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.21Butall these things they will do to youon account of my name,because they do not know him who sent me.22If I had not come and spoken to them,they would not have been guilty of sin,but now they have no excuse for their sin.23Whoever hates me hates my Father also.24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did,they would not be guilty of sin, but now they haveseen and hated both me and my Father.25Butthe word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled:They hated me without a cause.

26Butwhen the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father,he will bear witness about me.

1I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed,the hour is coming whenwhoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.3And they will do these thingsbecause they have not known the Father, nor me.4ButI have said these things to you, that whentheir hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/787356978

19Forthough I am free from all,I have made myself a servant to all, that I mightwin more of them.20To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.21Tothose outside the law I becameas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God butunder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak.I have become all things to all people, thatby all means I might save some.23I do it all for the sake of the gospel,that I may share with them in its blessings.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/785573405

John 1 (ESV)

1In the beginning wasthe Word, andthe Word was with God, andthe Word was God.2He was in the beginning with God.3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.4In him was life,[a]andthe life was the light of men.5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6There was a mansent from God, whose name wasJohn.7He came as awitness, to bear witness about the light,that all might believe through him.8He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yetthe world did not know him.11He came tohis own,[b]andhis own people[c]did not receive him.12But to all who did receive him,who believed in his name,he gave the rightto becomechildren of God,13whowere born,not of bloodnor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14Andthe Wordbecame flesh anddwelt among us,and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[d]from the Father, full ofgrace andtruth.15(John bore witness about him, and cried out, This was he of whom I said,He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.)16For fromhis fullness we have all received,grace upon grace.[e]17Forthe law was given through Moses;grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.18No one has ever seen God;the only God,[f]who is at the Father's side,[g]he has made him known.

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19And this is thetestimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him,Who are you?20He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, I am not the Christ.21And they asked him, What then?Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are youthe Prophet? And he answered, No.22So they said to him, Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?23He said, I amthe voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Make straight[h]the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.

24(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)25They asked him,Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?26John answered them,I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know,27evenhe who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.28These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Behold, the Lamb of God

29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold,the Lamb of God, whotakes away the sinof the world!30This is he of whom I said,After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.31I myself did not know him, butfor this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.32And Johnbore witness:I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, andit remained on him.33I myself did not know him, buthe who sent me to baptizewith water said to me, He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain,this is he who baptizeswith the Holy Spirit.34And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[i]of God.

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

35The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples,36and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, Behold,the Lamb of God!37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.38Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them,What are you seeking?And they said to him,Rabbi (which means Teacher), where are you staying?39He said to them,Come and you will see.So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.[j]40One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus[k]was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.41He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have foundthe Messiah (which means Christ).42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said,You are Simon the son ofJohn. You shall be calledCephas(which meansPeter[l]).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43The next day Jesus decidedto go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him,Follow me.44NowPhilip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.45Philip foundNathanael and said to him, We have found him of whomMoses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesusof Nazareth,the son of Joseph.46Nathanael said to him,Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.47Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,Behold,an Israelite indeed,in whom there is no deceit!48Nathanael said to him, Howdo you know me? Jesus answered him,Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.49Nathanael answered him,Rabbi,you are the Son of God! You are theKing of Israel!50Jesus answered him,Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.51And he said to him,Truly, truly, I say to you,[m]you will seeheaven opened, andthe angels of God ascending and descending onthe Son of Man.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/784246441

12This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13Greater love has no one than this,that someone lay down his life for his friends.14You aremy friendsif you do what I command you.15No longer do I call you servants,for the servantdoes not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, forall that I have heard from my FatherI have made known to you.16You did not choose me, butI chose you and appointed you that you should go andbear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so thatwhatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.17These things I command you,so that you will love one another.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/780137558

1I am thetrue vine, and my Father isthe vinedresser.2Every branch in me that does not bear fruithe takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes,that it may bear more fruit.3Alreadyyou are cleanbecause of the word that I have spoken to you.4Abidein me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.5I am the vine;you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is thatbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.6If anyone does not abide in mehe is thrown away like a branch and withers;and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.7Ifyou abide in me, and my words abide in you,ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.8By this my Father is glorified, that youbear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.9As the Father has loved me,so have I loved you. Abide in my love.10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just asI have keptmy Father's commandments and abide in his love.11These things I have spoken to you,that my joy may be in you, and thatyour joy may be full.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/777857257

1And you weredead in the trespasses and sins2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, followingthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work inthe sons of disobedience3among whom we all once lived inthe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the bodyand the mind, andwere by naturechildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind.4ButGod, beingrich in mercy,because of the great love with which he loved us,5evenwhen we were dead in our trespasses,made us alive together with Christby grace you have been saved6and raised us up with him andseated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurableriches of his grace inkindness toward us in Christ Jesus.8Forby grace you have been savedthrough faith. And this isnot your own doing;it is the gift of God,Watch at: https://vimeo.com/775530501

15If you love me, you willkeep my commandments.16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you anotherHelper,to be with you forever,17eventhe Spirit of truth,whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you andwill bein you.

18I will not leave you as orphans;I will come to you.19Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, butyou will see me.Because I live, you also will live.20In that day you will know thatI am in my Father, andyou in me, andI in you.21Whoever has my commandments andkeeps them, he it is who loves me. Andhe who loves mewill be loved by my Father, and I will love him andmanifest myself to him.22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is itthat you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?23Jesus answered him,If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, andwe will come to him andmake our home with him.24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. Andthe word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.26But theHelper, the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in my name,he will teach you all things andbring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.27Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neitherlet them be afraid.28You heard me say to you,I am going away, and I will come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because Iam going to the Father, forthe Father is greater than I.29Andnow I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.30I will no longer talk much with you, forthe ruler of this world is coming.He has no claim on me,31but I doas the Father has commanded me,so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/773061784

1Let not your hearts be troubled.Believe in God;believe also in me.2Inmy Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you thatI go to prepare a place for you?3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take youto myself, thatwhere I am you may be also.4And you know the way to where I am going.5Thomas said to him, Lord,we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?6Jesus said to him,I amthe way, andthe truth, andthe life. No one comes to the Father except through me.7If you had known me, you would haveknown my Father also.From now on you do know him andhave seen him.

8Philip said to him, Lord,show us the Father, and it is enough for us.9Jesus said to him,Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, Show us the Father?10Do you not believe thatI am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to youI do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.11Believe me thatI am in the Father and the Father is in me, or elsebelieve on account of the works themselves.

12Truly, truly, I say to you,whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because Iam going to the Father.13Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, thatthe Father may be glorified in the Son.14If you ask meanything in my name, I will do it.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/770461961

31When he had gone out, Jesus said,Now is the Son of Man glorified, andGod is glorified in him.32If God is glorified in him,God will also glorify him in himself, andglorify him at once.33Little children,yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and justas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, Where I am going you cannot come.34A new commandmentI give to you,that you love one another:just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.35By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

36Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going?Jesus answered him,Where I am goingyou cannot follow me now,but you will follow afterward.37Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.38Jesus answered,Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you,the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/768305684

18I am not speaking of all of you; I knowwhom I have chosen. Butthe Scripture will be fulfilled,He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.19I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.20Truly, truly, I say to you,whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

21After saying these things,Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified,Truly, truly, I say to you,one of you will betray me.22The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at tableat Jesus' side,24so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesusof whom he was speaking.25So that disciple,leaning back against Jesus, said to him, Lord, who is it?26Jesus answered,It is he to whom I will give this morsel of breadwhen I have dipped it.So when he had dipped the morsel,he gave it to Judas,the son of Simon Iscariot.27Then after he had taken the morsel,Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him,What you are going to do, do quickly.28Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.29Some thought that,because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, Buy what we needfor the feast, or that he shouldgive something to the poor.30So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out.And it was night.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/765455791
