Literal Version

16I’ve told you this so that you won’t stumble. 2First they will ban you all from their religious services, then there’s a time coming when people will kill you thinking they’re actually doing a sacred service to God, 3but they’ll be doing these things because they don’t know either the father or me. 4I’ve told you these things so that when they happen in the future, you’ll remember that I’ve already told you about them.

I didn’t tell you all of this right at the beginning because I was with you all, 5but soon I’ll be returning to the one who sent me. Yet none of you are asking me where I’ll be going, 6rather you are all just weighed down because I’ve told you these things. 7But honestly it’s for your benefit that I will leave here, because if I don’t, then the assistant won’t be coming to you. But after I’ve gone, I’ll send him to you all. 8When he comes, he’ll scold the world about sin and teach them about righteousness and judgement 9about sin because they don’t believe that I was sent by God, 10about righteousness because I am going to the father and you won’t be able to see me any longer, 11and about judgement because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12I still have a lot to tell you all, but you’re not able to handle it all right now. 13But when the assistant comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide you in all truth because he won’t be speaking from his own thoughts, but will tell you what he’s been told, and he will explain to you what’s still going to happen. 14He’ll be honouring me because he’ll take what is mine and will explain it to you all. 15Everything that the father has is mine, that’s why I said he will take what is mine and explain it to you.

16It won’t be much longer and you won’t be able to see me any more, and then a little while after that, and you’ll see me again.”

17This got his followers asking each other, “What’s all this about seeing him for not much longer, and then seeing him again after a while? And why does he say he’s going to the father? 18So they were saying, “What’s this about ‘not much longer’? We don’t know what he means.”

19However Yeshua knew what they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them, “You are trying to find out from each other what I meant when I said that you won’t be able to see me after a little while, and then a little while after that you’ll see me again. 20I can assure you that you’ll be weeping and mourning but the world will be elated. You’ll be upset but then your upset will turn into happiness. 21A woman giving birth has pains when the delivery begins, but when she hears that the baby is born, she doesn’t remember those pains any more because she’s so happy that her child was born. 22So too with all of you: you’ll be upset for a while but then I’ll be with you again and you’ll be so happy and no one will be able to take that happiness away from you.

23When that happens, you won’t be asking me for anything. I can assure you that whatever you request from the father in my name and my authority will be given to you. 24Up until now you haven’t asked him for anything using my authority, but after that time, you’ll be able to make requests and they’ll be answered so that your happiness will be complete.

25So far I’ve told you these things in parables, however a time is coming when I’ll no longer be speaking in parables but will tell you things about the father quite plainly. 26At that time you’ll have my authority to request from the father. I’m not saying that I’ll be asking him on your behalf, 27no, because he himself loves you all because you have loved me and have believed that I was sent by God. 28I was sent out by the father and I have come into the world, but I’ll be leaving the world again and returning to the father.

29Yeshua’s followers responded, “Ah, now you’re speaking plainly and not using parables. 30Finally we realise that you know everything already and don’t need to ask anyone else, and so we now believe that you came from God.”

31So now you all believe?Yeshua answered. 32The time is coming and is here already when you will all be scattered in various directions and will leave me by myself, but I won’t be alone because the father is always with me. 33I’ve told you these things so that you can all have peace in me. You will have troubles in this world, but be courageous because I have overcome the world.

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.
