Readers’ Version

Literal Version

15I am the true vine and my father is the farmer. 2He removes every one of my branches that doesn’t bear fruit, but those that do bear fruit, he prunes them so they’ll produce even more. 3You are all clean already because of the teaching that I’ve given you. 4Stay in me, and I will stay in you all, because just as a branch can’t bear fruit in isolation when it’s not connected to the vine, neither can you if you don’t stay in me.

5I am the vine and you all are the branches. Anyone who stays in me will produce a lot of fruitapart from me you can’t do anything. 6Anyone who doesn’t stay in me will be thrown away like a branch, and will wither and be gathered together with others, and thrown into the fire to be burnt. 7If you stay in me and my teaching stays in you, then you can request whatever you all want and it will be done for you. 8My father will be honoured and praised when you produce a lot of fruit, and you all become my followers. 9I loved you all just as the father loved me, so stay in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you all will be staying in my love, just like I’ve obeyed my father’s commands and I am staying in his love.

11I’ve told you these things so that I’ll be happy with you all, and so that your happiness will be genuine and long-lasting. 12So here’s my request: keep loving each other just like I loved you all.[ref] 13No one has greater love than the one who gives up their own life for their friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I am telling you. 15I’m not calling you slaves, because a slave doesn’t know his master’s plans, but I’m calling you friends because I’ve told you everything that I heard from my father. 16You didn’t choose me, but I chose you all, and I assigned you to go and produce fruit and for your fruit to be permanent so that whatever you request from the father in my name and authority, he will give it to you. 17I am telling you all this so that you can all love each other.

18If the world hates you, you all know that it hated me before it hated you. 19If you belonged to this world, then the world would love you as it loves its own people, but you don’t belong to this world because I chose you out of it. That’s why they hate all of you. 20Remember that I told you that slaves are not greater than their master. So if they persecuted me, they’ll also be persecuting you all. (If they’d obeyed my teaching, they would also obey your teaching.)[ref] 21But they will do all these things against you because of my name, because they don’t know the father who sent me. 22They wouldn’t be considered sinners except that I came and spoke to them, so now they don’t have any excuse for their sin. 23Anyone who hates me, also hates my father. 24If I hadn’t done miracles among them of the sort that no one else has done, they wouldn’t be considered to be sinners, but now they’ve observed me and hated both me and my father. 25The writings of the prophets will certainly come to pass, that ‘they hated me undeservedly’.[ref]

26When the assistant arrives that I will send to you all from the father, the spirit of truth coming from the father, he will tell the truth about me. 27You also will be able to tell the truth about me because you all were with me from the beginning.

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
