52 Week Bible Reading Plan

John 16

1

"I have said all this 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 this 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 you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5

But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

6

But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.

7

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

8

And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

9

concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

10

concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;

11

concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12

"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

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.

14

He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

15

All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

16

"A little while, and you will see me no more; again a little while, and you will see me."

17

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 go to the Father'?"

18

They said, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We do not know what he means."

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'?

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.

21

When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world.

22

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

23

In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

24

Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

25

"I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the Father.

26

In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

27

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father.

28

I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

29

His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure!

30

Now we know that you know all things, and need none to question you; by this we believe that you came from God."

31

Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

32

The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33

I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, 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 thy Son that the Son may glorify thee,

2

since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

3

And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

4

I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;

5

and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made.

6

"I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

7

Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee;

8

for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9

I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine;

10

all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

11

And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

12

While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13

But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14

I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15

I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.

16

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17

Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth.

18

As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19

And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

20

"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word,

21

that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22

The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,

23

I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.

24

Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.

25

O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

26

I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

John 18

1

When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.

2

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

3

So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4

Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

5

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

6

When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

7

Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

8

Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go."

9

This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one."

10

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

11

Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"

12

So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him.

13

First they led him to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

14

It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15

Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,

16

while Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the maid who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

17

The maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

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.

19

The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

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 secretly.

21

Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; they know what I said."

22

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

23

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?"

24

Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest.

25

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "Are not you also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."

26

One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"

27

Peter again denied it; and at once the cock crowed.

28

Then they led Jesus from the house of Ca'iaphas to the praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the praetorium, so that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

29

So Pilate went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

30

They answered him, "If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over."

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 any man to death."

32

This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.

33

Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

34

Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"

35

Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me; what have you done?"

36

Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world."

37

Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice."

38

Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again, and told them, "I find no crime in him.

39

But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover; will you have me release for you the King of the Jews?"

40

They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barab'bas!" Now Barab'bas was a robber.
