John 15:26-16:4 (ESV)

The Nature of Testimony

26: “But when 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.

27: And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

The Power of Knowledge

1: “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.

2: They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

3: And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4: But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

John 15:1-11 (ESV)

The Vinedresser

1: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

2: Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

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

The Fruit

4: Abide in 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.

5: I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

6: If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

The Glory

7: If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8: By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

9: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

10: If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

11: These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

John 13:36-38 (ESV)

Demanding Answers and…

36: Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward.”

Demanding Explanations

37: Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now?

Demanding a Lesson in Humility

38: I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus 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.”

John 13:31-35 (ESV)

His Glory

31: When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

32: If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

His Work

33: Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’

His Love

34: A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

35: By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

John 13:21-30 (ESV)

Suffering

21: After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”

22: The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

23: One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus’ side,

24: so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.

Identification

25: So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?”

26: Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27: Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”

Confirmation

28: Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

29: Some thought, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30: So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.”

John 13:12-20 (ESV)

The Example of the Messiah

12: When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?

13: You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.

14: If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

15: For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

16: Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

The Testimony of the Betrayer

17: If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18: I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’

19: I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

20: Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

John 12:44-50 (ESV

The Father

44: And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
45: And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.

The Light

46: I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

The Word

47: If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

The Commandment

48: The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49: For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.
50: And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

John 12:37-43 (ESV)

The thing About Faith and Understanding

37: Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,

38: so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39: Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40: “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”

41: Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

The thing About Love and Fear

42: Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;

43: for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

John 12:27-36 (ESV)

The Glory of the Name

27: “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28: Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

The Exaltation of the Son

29: The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30: Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31: Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32: And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33: He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

The Presence of the Truth

34: So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35: Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36: While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

John 12:20-26 (ESV)

A Sincere Search

20: Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.

21: So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

A Fruitful Death

22: Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23: And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24: Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

A Holy Contempt

25: Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26: If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
