Comparative bible study- the Passion of Jesus gospels of Luke and John

 

            I am led to do a comparative bible study of the Passion of Jesus, that is the period of time from His anointing by Mary, the last supper through His crucifixion, death and burial, in a desire to strongly show as ONLY God’s word can, what all Jesus went through for your sake and my sake to restore our relationship with God the Father, and Jesus, and that He did indeed pay the price that we now do not have to anymore for our sins, and enables us to have eternal life with the Father and Jesus in Heaven, then in the New Jerusalem, as opposed to the pit of Hell and the lake of fire. I am so very thankful for the love, grace and mercy of both God the Father and Jesus for this sacrifice and inexpressible gift of eternal life. This study itself will consist of Luke chapters 22 and 23, and John chapters 13 through 19, as there also is a teaching by Jesus in the middle of His, which I am led to include. Here is a link to the Passion in Matthew and Mark

I won’t comment between the chapters of either gospel so the story can flow and have its maximum effect

Here is the Passion from the gospel of Luke

(Luke 22:1)  Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.

 

(Luke 22:2)  And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

 

(Luke 22:3)  Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

 

(Luke 22:4)  He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.

 

(Luke 22:5)  And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

 

(Luke 22:6)  So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.

 

(Luke 22:7)  Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

 

(Luke 22:8)  So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it."

 

(Luke 22:9)  They said to him, "Where will you have us prepare it?"

 

(Luke 22:10)  He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters

 

(Luke 22:11)  and tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

 

(Luke 22:12)  And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there."

 

(Luke 22:13)  And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

 

(Luke 22:14)  And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.

 

(Luke 22:15)  And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

 

(Luke 22:16)  For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

 

(Luke 22:17)  And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

 

(Luke 22:18)  For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

 

(Luke 22:19)  And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

 

(Luke 22:20)  And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

 

(Luke 22:21)  But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

 

(Luke 22:22)  For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

 

(Luke 22:23)  And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

 

(Luke 22:24)  A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

 

(Luke 22:25)  And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

 

(Luke 22:26)  But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

 

(Luke 22:27)  For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.

 

(Luke 22:28)  "You are those who have stayed with me in my trials,

 

(Luke 22:29)  and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,

 

(Luke 22:30)  that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

 

(Luk 22:31)  "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,

 

(Luke 22:32)  but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."

 

(Luke 22:33)  Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."

 

(Luke 22:34)  Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."

 

(Luke 22:35)  And he said to them, "When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."

 

(Luke 22:36)  He said to them, "But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

 

(Luke 22:37)  For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment."

 

(Luke 22:38)  And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."

 

(Luke 22:39)  And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

 

(Luke 22:40)  And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

 

(Luke 22:41)  And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed,

 

(Luke 22:42)  saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

 

(Luke 22:43)  And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

 

(Luke 22:44)  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

 

(Luke 22:45)  And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,

 

(Luke 22:46)  and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

 

(Luke 22:47)  While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,

 

(Luke 22:48)  but Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

 

(Luke 22:49)  And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

 

(Luke 22:50)  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

 

(Luke 22:51)  But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.

 

(Luke 22:52)  Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

 

(Luke 22:53)  When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

 

(Luke 22:54)  Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance.

 

(Luke 22:55)  And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

 

(Luke 22:56)  Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, "This man also was with him."

 

(Luke 22:57)  But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."

 

(Luke 22:58)  And a little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."

 

(Luke 22:59)  And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, "Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean."

 

(Luke 22:60)  But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

 

(Luke 22:61)  And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

 

(Luke 22:62)  And he went out and wept bitterly.

 

(Luke 22:63)  Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him.

 

(Luke 22:64)  They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, "Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?"

 

(Luke 22:65)  And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.

 

(Luke 22:66)  When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led him away to their council, and they said,

 

(Luke 22:67)  "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,

 

(Luke 22:68)  and if I ask you, you will not answer.

 

(Luke 22:69)  But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

 

(Luke 22:70)  So they all said, "Are you the Son of God, then?" And he said to them, "You say that I am."

 

(Luke 22:71)  Then they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips."

 

(Luke 23:1)  Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate.

 

(Luke 23:2)  And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

 

(Luke 23:3)  And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."

 

(Luke 23:4)  Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no guilt in this man."

 

(Luke 23:5)  But they were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place."

 

(Luke 23:6)  When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

 

(Luke 23:7)  And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.

 

(Luke 23:8)  When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.

 

(Luke 23:9)  So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer.

 

(Luke 23:10)  The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

 

(Luke 23:11)  And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.

 

(Luke 23:12)  And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

 

(Luke 23:13)  Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

 

(Luke 23:14)  and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him.

 

(Luke 23:15)  Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.

 

(Luke 23:16)  I will therefore punish and release him."

 

(Luke 23:17)  [Now he was obliged to release one man to them at the festival.]

 

(Luke 23:18)  But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"--

 

(Luke 23:19)  a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder.

 

(Luke 23:20)  Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus,

 

(Luke 23:21)  but they kept shouting, "Crucify, crucify him!"

 

(Luke 23:22)  A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him."

 

(Luke 23:23)  But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

 

(Luke 23:24)  So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

 

(Luke 23:25)  He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.

 

(Luke 23:26)  And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.

 

(Luke 23:27)  And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him.

 

(Luke 23:28)  But turning to them Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

 

(Luke 23:29)  For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

 

(Luke 23:30)  Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'

 

(Luke 23:31)  For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

 

(Luke 23:32)  Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.

 

(Luke 23:33)  And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

 

(Luke 23:34)  And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments.

 

(Luke 23:35)  And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!"

 

(Luke 23:36)  The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine

 

(Luke 23:37)  and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

 

(Luke 23:38)  There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews."

 

(Luke 23:39)  One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

 

(Luke 23:40)  But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

 

(Luke 23:41)  And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."

 

(Luke 23:42)  And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

 

(Luke 23:43)  And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

 

(Luke 23:44)  It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,

 

(Luke 23:45)  while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

 

(Luke 23:46)  Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.

 

(Luke 23:47)  Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

 

(Luke 23:48)  And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts.

 

(Luke 23:49)  And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.

 

(Luke 23:50)  Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man,

 

(Luke 23:51)  who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

 

(Luke 23:52)  This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

 

(Luke 23:53)  Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid.

 

(Luke 23:54)  It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.

 

(Luke 23:55)  The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

 

(Luke 23:56)  Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

 

Here is the gospel of John, including Jesus’ powerful teaching, discussion and prayer for  and with His disciples in chapters 14-17 which is right before Jesus’ arrest and is only found in John’s gospel

(John 13:1)  Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

 

(John 13:2)  During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

 

(John 13:3)  Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

 

(John 13:4)  rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

 

(John 13:5)  Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

 

(John 13:6)  He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

 

(John 13:7)  Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand."

 

(John 13:8)  Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no share with me."

 

(John 13:9)  Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!"

 

(John 13:10)  Jesus said to him, "The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you."

 

(John 13:11)  For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, "Not all of you are clean."

 

(John 13:12)  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?

 

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

 

(John 13:14)  If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

 

(John 13:15)  For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

 

(John 13:16)  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.

 

(John 13:17)  If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

 

(John 13:18)  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.'

 

(John 13:19)  I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.

 

(John 13:20)  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 13:21)  After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."

 

(John 13:22)  The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.

 

(John 13:23)  One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table close to Jesus,

 

(John 13:24)  so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.

 

(John 13:25)  So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?"

 

(John 13:26)  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.

 

(John 13:27)  Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

 

(John 13:28)  Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.

 

(John 13:29)  Some thought that, 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.

 

(John 13:30)  So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.

 

(John 13:31)  When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

 

(John 13:32)  If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.

 

(John 13:33)  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.'

 

(John 13:34)  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.

 

(John 13:35)  By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

 

(John 13:36)  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."

 

(John 13:37)  Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

 

(John 13:38)  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 14:1)  "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

 

(John 14:2)  In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

 

(John 14:3)  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

 

(John 14:4)  And you know the way to where I am going."

 

(John 14:5)  Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

 

(John 14:6)  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

(John 14:7)  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."

 

(John 14:8)  Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

 

(John 14:9)  Jesus 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'?

 

(John 14:10)  Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

 

(John 14:11)  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

 

(John 14:12)  "Truly, 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 I am going to the Father.

 

(John 14:13)  Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

 

(John 14:14)  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

 

(John 14:15)  "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

 

(John 14:16)  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,

 

(John 14:17)  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

 

(John 14:18)  "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

 

(John 14:19)  Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

 

(John 14:20)  In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

 

(John 14:21)  Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

 

(John 14:22)  Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

 

(John 14:23)  Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

 

(John 14:24)  Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

 

(John 14:25)  "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

 

(John 14:26)  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

 

(John 14:27)  Peace 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, neither let them be afraid.

 

(John 14:28)  You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

 

(John 14:29)  And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

 

(John 14:30)  I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,

 

(John 14:31)  but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

 

(John 15:1)  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

 

(John 15:2)  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.

 

(John 15:3)  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

 

(John 15:4)  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.

 

(John 15:5)  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.

 

(John 15:6)  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.

 

(John 15:7)  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

 

(John 15:8)  By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

 

(John 15:9)  As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

 

(John 15:10)  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.

 

(John 15:11)  These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

 

(John 15:12)  "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

 

(John 15:13)  Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

 

(John 15:14)  You are my friends if you do what I command you.

 

(John 15:15)  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

 

(John 15:16)  You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

 

(John 15:17)  These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

 

(John 15:18)  "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

 

(John 15:19)  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, therefore the world hates you.

 

(John 15:20)  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 also keep yours.

 

(John 15:21)  But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

 

(John 15:22)  If 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.

 

(John 15:23)  Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

 

(John 15:24)  If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

 

(John 15:25)  But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: 'They hated me without a cause.'

 

(John 15:26)  "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.

 

(John 15:27)  And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

 

(John 16:1)  "I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.

 

(John 16:2)  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.

 

(John 16:3)  And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

 

(John 16:4)  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 16:5)  But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

 

(John 16:6)  But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

 

(John 16:7)  Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

 

(John 16:8)  And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

 

(John 16:9)  concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

 

(John 16:10)  concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

 

(John 16:11)  concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

 

(John 16:12)  "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

 

(John 16:13)  When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

 

(John 16:14)  He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

 

(John 16:15)  All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

 

(John 16:16)  "A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me."

 

(John 16:17)  So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because I am going to the Father'?"

 

(John 16:18)  So they were saying, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We do not know what he is talking about."

 

(John 16:19)  Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?

 

(John 16:20)  Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.

 

(John 16:21)  When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

 

(John 16:22)  So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

 

(John 16:23)  In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

 

(John 16:24)  Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

 

(John 16:25)  "I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.

 

(John 16:26)  In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;

 

(John 16:27)  for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

 

(John 16:28)  I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

 

(John 16:29)  His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!

 

(John 16:30)  Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God."

 

(John 16:31)  Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

 

(John 16:32)  Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

 

(John 16:33)  I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

 

(John 17:1)  When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,

 

(John 17:2)  since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

 

(John 17:3)  And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

 

(John 17:4)  I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.

 

(John 17:5)  And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

 

(John 17:6)  "I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

 

(John 17:7)  Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.

 

(John 17:8)  For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.

 

(John 17:9)  I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

 

(John 17:10)  All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

 

(John 17:11)  And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

 

(John 17:12)  While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

 

(John 17:13)  But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

 

(John 17:14)  I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

 

(John 17:15)  I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.

 

(John 17:16)  They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

 

(John 17:17)  Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

 

(John 17:18)  As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

 

(John 17:19)  And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

 

(John 17:20)  "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,

 

(John 17:21)  that they may all be one, just 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 have sent me.

 

(John 17:22)  The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,

 

(John 17:23)  I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

 

(John 17:24)  Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

 

(John 17:25)  O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.

 

(John 17:26)  I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."

 

(John 18:1)  When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

 

(John 18:2)  Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

 

(John 18:3)  So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

 

(John 18:4)  Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

 

(John 18:5)  They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

 

(John 18:6)  When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

 

(John 18:7)  So he asked them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

 

(Joh  18:8)  Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go."

 

(John 18:9)  This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: "Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one."

 

(John 18:10)  Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)

 

(Joh  18:11)  So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?"

 

(John 18:12)  So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him.

 

(John 18:13)  First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

 

(John 18:14)  It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

 

(John 18:15)  Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

 

(John 18:16)  but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.

 

(John 18:17)  The servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."

 

(John 18:18)  Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

 

(John 18:19)  The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

 

(John 18:20)  Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.

 

(John 18:21)  Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said."

 

(John 18:22)  When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

 

(John 18:23)  Jesus answered him, "If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?"

 

(John 18:24)  Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

 

(John 18:25)  Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You also are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

 

(John 18:26)  One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

 

(John 18:27)  Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.

 

(John 18:28)  Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.

 

(John 18:29)  So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

 

(John 18:30)  They answered him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you."

 

(John 18:31)  Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death."

 

(John 18:32)  This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

 

(John 18:33)  So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

 

(John 18:34)  Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"

 

(John 18:35)  Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?"

 

(John 18:36)  Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world."

 

(John 18:37)  Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world--to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

 

(John 18:38)  Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, "I find no guilt in him.

 

(John 18:39)  But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

 

(John 18:40)  They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

 

(John 19:1)  Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.

 

(John 19:2)  And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.

 

(John 19:3)  They came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.

 

(John 19:4)  Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him."

 

(John 19:5)  So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"

 

(John 19:6)  When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him."

 

(John 19:7)  The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God."

 

(John 19:8)  When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid.

 

(John 19:9)  He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

 

(John 19:10)  So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"

 

(John 19:11)  Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."

 

(John 19:12)  From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."

 

(John 19:13)  So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha.

 

(John 19:14)  Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

 

(John 19:15)  They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

 

(John 19:16)  So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,

 

(John 19:17)  and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha.

 

(John 19:18)  There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

 

(John 19:19)  Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

 

(John 19:20)  Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.

 

(John 19:21)  So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"

 

(John 19:22)  Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."

 

(John 19:23)  When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom,

 

(John 19:24)  so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." So the soldiers did these things,

 

(John 19:25)  but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

 

(John 19:26)  When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"

 

(John 19:27)  Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

 

(John 19:28)  After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), "I thirst."

 

(John 19:29)  A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.

 

(John 19:30)  When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

 

(John 19:31)  Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

 

(John 19:32)  So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him.

 

(John 19:33)  But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

 

(John 19:34)  But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

 

(John 19:35)  He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth--that you also may believe.

 

(John 19:36)  For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken."

 

(John 19:37)  And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

 

(John 19:38)  After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.

 

(John 19:39)  Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight.

 

(John 19:40)  So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

 

(John 19:41)  Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

 

(John 19:42)  So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Here is the link to a bible study that talks of when Jesus rises from the grave defeating death

https://www.facebook.com/notes/jay-dougherty/jesus-is-risen-bible-study/10200661949284722

 

The scriptures in these chapters show very clearly just what Jesus was willing to go through for your and my sake just to be sure the perfect sacrifice was made, to ensure our sins are covered for us, so we ourselves do not have to pay the price for them. I don’t know about you, but I myself am sure thankful that Jesus would so willingly go through all of this so that I could have a relationship with Him, and His Father in Heaven, and avoid hell, now that Jesus paid for my sins. Besides Jesus also knows so much better how to direct my life than I do anyway. If you also want to ask Jesus into your heart to be Your personal Lord and Savior, as I have done, or even to come back to Him if You have drifted away, please pray this following prayer with me:

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

God bless you and yours
