John

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

This One was in the beginning with God.

All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one [thing] came into being that has come into being.

And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him.

He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him.

But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become children of God—to those believing in His name,

who were born not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

For from His fullness we all received also grace upon grace.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

No one has ever yet seen God. The only begotten God, the One being in the bosom of the Father, He has made [Him] known.

On the next day he sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, the One taking away the sin of the world!

And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him.

And I did not know Him, but the One having sent me to baptize in water, He said to me, ‘Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One baptizing in the Holy Spirit.’

His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house will consume Me.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

But Jesus Himself was not entrusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all,

and because He had no need that anyone should testify about man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one would be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time and to be born?”

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one would be born of water and of the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

That having been born of the flesh is flesh, and that having been born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you⁺ to be born from above.’

The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. Thus is everyone having been born of the Spirit.”

And no one has gone up into heaven except the One having come down out of heaven, the Son of Man.

For God so loved the world that He gave the Son, the only begotten, so that everyone believing in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

The one believing in Him is not judged, but the one not believing already has been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because the waters were many there, and they were coming and were being baptized.

John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive one [thing] unless it shall be given to him from heaven.

The One coming from above is above all. The one being from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all.

What He has seen and heard, to this He testifies, and no one receives His testimony.

The one having received His testimony has sealed that God is true.

For the One whom God sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit without measure.

The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

The one believing in the Son has eternal life; but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore Jesus, wearied from the journey, was thus sitting at the well. The hour was about the sixth.

Jesus says to her, “Believe Me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you⁺ worship the Father.

You⁺ worship what you⁺ do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews.

But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father also seeks such who worship Him.

God [is] Spirit, and it is necessary for those worshiping Him to worship in spirit and truth.”

Jesus says to them, “My food is that I should do the will of the One having sent Me and should finish His work.

And many more believed because of His word.

And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of your speech do we believe; for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well. Sin no more, so that something worse might not happen to you.”

Therefore because of this, the Jews were seeking more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.

For the Father judges no one, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father, the One having sent Him.

Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will live.

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He gave to the Son to have life in Himself.

And He gave Him authority to do judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice,

and they will come out—those having done good to the resurrection of life, and those having practiced evil to the resurrection of judgment.

You⁺ search the Scriptures because you⁺ think to have eternal life in them, and these are they testifying concerning Me;

and you⁺ are not willing to come to Me so that you⁺ may have life.

How are you⁺ able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and you⁺ do not seek the glory that [is] from the only God?

For if you⁺ were believing Moses, you⁺ would have been believing Me; for he wrote concerning Me.

But if you⁺ do not believe his writings, how will you⁺ believe My words?”

Now when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the fragments having superabounded, so that nothing may be lost.”

(But boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks).

Do not work [for] the food that is perishing, but [for] the food remaining unto eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you⁺; for God the Father sealed Him.”

Therefore they said to Him, “Then what sign do You do, so that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, Moses has not given you⁺ the bread out of heaven, but My Father gives you⁺ the true bread out of heaven.

For the bread of God is the One coming down out of heaven and giving life to the world.”

Therefore they said to Him, “Sir, always give us this bread.”

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me never shall hunger, and the one believing in Me never will thirst at any time.

But I said to you⁺ that you⁺ have also seen Me and you⁺ do not believe.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one coming to Me I shall never cast out.

For I have come down from heaven, not so that I may do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.

Now this is the will of the One having sent Me, that all that He has given Me, I should lose none of it, but I will raise it up in the last day.

For this is the will of My Father, that everyone beholding the Son and believing in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.”

Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him because He said, “I am the bread having come down out of heaven.”

And they were saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does He say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble with one another.

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father, the One having sent Me, should draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught of God.’ Everyone having heard from the Father and having learned comes to Me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One being from God; He has seen the Father.

Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one believing has eternal life.

I am the bread of life.

Your⁺ fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

This is the bread coming down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread having come down out of heaven. If anyone shall eat of this bread, he will live to the age. And the bread also that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

Therefore the Jews were arguing with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us His flesh to eat?”

Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, unless you⁺ shall eat the flesh of the Son of Man and shall drink His blood, you⁺ do not have life in yourselves.

The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.

For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.

The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, the one also feeding on Me, he also will live because of Me.

This is the bread having come down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live to the age.”

He said these things teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Therefore many of His disciples, having heard, said, “This word is difficult; who is able to hear it?”

But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you⁺ to stumble?

Then [what] if you⁺ may behold the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?

It is the Spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you⁺ are spirit and they are life.

But there are some of you⁺ who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning who are those not believing and who it is who will betray Him.

And He was saying, “Because of this, I have said to you⁺ that no one is able to come to Me unless it shall have been given to him from the Father.”

From this [time] many of His disciples went away to the back and no longer were walking with Him.

The one speaking from himself seeks [his] own glory, but the One seeking the glory of the One having sent Him, He is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

Now in the last day of the feast, the great [day], Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone may thirst, let him come to Me and drink.

The one believing in Me, as the Scripture said: ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’”

Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those having believed in Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The officers answered, “Never did a man speak thus, as this man speaks!”

Therefore the Pharisees answered them, “Have you⁺ also been deceived?

Did anyone out of the rulers or out of the Pharisees believe in Him?

But this crowd, not knowing the law, they are accursed.”

And she said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now [on] sin no more.”

Therefore I said to you⁺ that you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins; for unless you⁺ believe that I am [He], you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins.”

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that everyone who [is] doing sin is a slave of sin.

Now the slave does not remain in the house to the age; the son remains to the age.

Therefore if the Son shall set you⁺ free, you⁺ will be really free.

You⁺ are doing the works of your⁺ father.” Therefore they said to Him, “We have not been born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—God.”

Jesus said to them, “If God were your⁺ Father, you⁺ would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

You⁺ are of [your] father the devil, and you⁺ want to do the desires of your⁺ father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he may speak falsehood, he speaks from [his] own, because he is a liar and the father of it.

The one being of God hears the words of God; because of this you⁺ do not hear, because you⁺ are not of God.”

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you⁺ dishonor Me.

Abraham your⁺ father exulted that he should see My day, and he saw and rejoiced.”

Jesus answered, “Neither this [man] sinned, nor his parents; but [it was] so that the works of God should be displayed in him.

And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses.

“Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but going up another way, he is a thief and a robber.

But they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me—

just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My life for the sheep.

And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. It is necessary for Me to bring those also, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock [and] one shepherd.

Because of this, the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I might take it again.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

But you⁺ do not believe, because you⁺ are not of My sheep.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

And I give them eternal life, and never shall they perish to the age, and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the hand of the Father.

I and the Father are one.”

Therefore the Jews took up stones again so that they might stone Him.

Jesus answered them, “I showed you⁺ many good works from the Father; because of which work of them do you⁺ stone Me?”

The Jews answered Him, “We do not stone You concerning a good work, but concerning blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your⁺ Law: ‘I said you⁺ are gods’?

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture is not able to be broken—

do you⁺ say [of Him] whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he may die, he will live.

And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?”

Therefore Jesus, as He saw her weeping and the Jews having come with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and Himself troubled.

Jesus wept.

and not for the nation only, but also so that the children of God, those having been scattered, He might gather together into one.

Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But because of this I came to this hour.

And I, when I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all to Myself.”

so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled that said: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?”

Because of this, they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said:

“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I will heal them.”

Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke about Him.

Jesus says to him, “The one having been bathed has no need to wash, except the feet, but is wholly clean. And you⁺ all are clean, but not all.”

I speak not about all of you⁺—I know whom I chose—but so that the Scripture may be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread lifted up his heel against Me.’

Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one receiving anyone I shall send receives Me, and the one receiving Me receives the One having sent Me.”

And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Therefore Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

Therefore, having received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. And if not so, would I have told you⁺ that I am going to prepare a place for you⁺?

And if I go and prepare a place for you⁺, I am coming again, and I will receive you⁺ to Myself, so that where I am, you⁺ may be also.

Jesus says to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father if not through Me.

Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

And whatever you⁺ might ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you⁺ ask Me anything in My name, I will do [it].

If you⁺ love Me, you⁺ will keep My commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you⁺ another Advocate so that He may be with you⁺ to the age—

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor does it know [Him]. But you⁺ know Him, for He abides with you⁺ and will be in you⁺.

I will not leave you⁺ as orphans; I am coming to you⁺.

Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more, but you⁺ see Me. Because I live, you⁺ also will live.

In that day you⁺ will know that I [am] in My Father, and you⁺ in Me, and I in you⁺.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you⁺ all things and will remind you⁺ of all the things that I said to you⁺.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

Every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away; and every one bearing fruit, He prunes it clean so that it may bear more fruit.

Already you⁺ are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you⁺.

Remain in Me, and I in you⁺. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither you⁺, unless you⁺ remain in Me.

I am the vine; you⁺ [are] the branches. The one remaining in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from Me you⁺ are able to do nothing.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up; and they gather them and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

If you⁺ remain in Me and My words remain in you⁺, you⁺ shall ask whatever you⁺ wish, and to you⁺ it will come to pass.

In this My Father is glorified, that you⁺ should bear much fruit, and you⁺ shall be My disciples.

These things I have spoken to you⁺ so that My joy may be in you⁺ and your⁺ joy may be full.

This is My commandment, that you⁺ should love one another as I have loved you⁺.

Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.

You⁺ are My friends if you⁺ do what I command you⁺.

No longer do I call you⁺ servants, because the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you⁺ friends, because all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you⁺.

You⁺ did not choose Me, but I chose you⁺, and I appointed you⁺ so that you⁺ should go and bear fruit, and [that] your⁺ fruit should remain, so that whatever you⁺ might ask the Father in My name, He may give you⁺.

If the world hates you⁺, you⁺ know that it has hated Me before you⁺.

If you⁺ were of the world, the world would love [you] [as] its own; but because you⁺ are not of the world, but I chose you⁺ out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you⁺.

Remember 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 keep yours⁺ also.

But they will do all these things against you⁺ on account of My name, because they do not know the One having sent Me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you⁺ from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will testify about Me.

And you⁺ also testify, because you⁺ are with Me from the beginning.[]

They will put you⁺ out of the synagogues; but an hour is coming that everyone having killed you⁺ will think he is offering a service to God.

But I say to you⁺ the truth, it is profitable for you⁺ that I should go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you⁺; but if I go, I will send Him to you⁺.

And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;

But when He, the Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you⁺ into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you⁺ the things coming.

He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which [is] Mine and will declare [it] to you⁺.

All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine. Because of this, I said that He will take from that which [is] Mine and will declare [it] to you⁺.

And in that day you⁺ will ask of Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, whatever you⁺ may ask the Father in My name, He will give you⁺.

Until now you⁺ have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you⁺ will receive, so that your⁺ joy may be full.

as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that all whom You have given to Him, He may give to them eternal life.

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You sent.

And now, glorify Me—You, Father, with Yourself—with the glory that I had with You before the world existed.

I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and to Me You gave them, and they have kept Your word.

I ask concerning them. I do not ask concerning the world, but concerning those whom You have given to Me, for they are Yours.

And all things of Mine are Yours, and Yours Mine, and I have been glorified in them.

And I am no longer in the world, and they are themselves in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, which You have given to Me, so that they may be one as We [are].

When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given to Me. And I guarded [them], and none of them perished except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them from evil.

Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

and for them I sanctify Myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

But I do not ask for these only, but also for those believing in Me through their word,

that all may be one, as You, Father, [are] in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

And I have given to them the glory that You have given to Me, so that they may be one as We [are] one—

I in them and You in Me—so that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.

Father, [those] whom You have given to Me, I want that they also may be with Me where I am, so that they may behold My glory that You have given to Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My attendants would fight so that I would not be delivered up to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here.”

Therefore Pilate said to Him, “Then You are a king!” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, so that I may testify to the truth. Everyone being of the truth hears My voice.”

And Pilate went forth outside again, and he says to them, “Behold, I bring Him out to you⁺ so that you⁺ may know that I find no guilt in Him.”

Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Because of this, the one having delivered Me up to you has greater sin.”

From this [time] Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this [man], you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

Therefore Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Now it was the Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, “Behold your⁺ King!”

So they cried out, “Away with Him, away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your⁺ King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”

So then he delivered Him to them so that He might be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus.

Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said, “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit.

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.

And after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus (but concealed because of the fear of the Jews) asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. Therefore he came and took away His body.

And Nicodemus, the one having come to Him by night at the first, also came bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras.

Therefore they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom among the Jews to prepare for burial.

Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet having been laid.

Therefore because of the Preparation of the Jews [and] since the tomb was near, they laid Jesus there.

Jesus says to her, “Do not touch Me, for not yet have I ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your⁺ Father, and [to] My God and your⁺ God.’”

Therefore, it being evening the same day, the first of the week, and the doors where the disciples were having been shut because of the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and He says to them, “Peace to you⁺.”

Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you⁺. As the Father has sent Me forth, I also send you⁺.”

And having said this, He breathed on [them], and He says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

If you⁺ might forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you⁺ might retain any, they are retained.”

Therefore the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and I put my finger into the mark of the nails, and I put my hands into His side, I will never believe.”

And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, the doors having been shut. Jesus comes, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you⁺.”

Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here and see My hands, and bring your hand and put [it] into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.”

Therefore indeed Jesus also did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.

But these have been written so that you⁺ may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, believing, you⁺ may have life in His name.

Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon [son] of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”

He says to him again a second time, “Simon [son] of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

He says to him the third time, “Simon [son] of John, do you dearly love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you dearly love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I dearly love You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep.

Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking where you were wanting; but when you shall be old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you and will bring [you] where you do not want.”

Now He said this, signifying by what death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
