Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
017:023 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one;
that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me
and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou
hast loved me.
017:024 "Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I
am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--
my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because
Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.
017:025 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to
recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived
that Thou didst send me.
017:026 And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known,
that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them,
and that I may be in them."
018:001 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His
disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine
of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--
Himself and His disciples.
018:002 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him,
knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there
with His disciples.
018:003 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment
of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees,
came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him,
went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?"
He asked them.
018:005 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied.
(Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
018:006 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards
and fell to the ground.
018:007 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?"
"For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
018:008 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he.
If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples
go their way."
018:009 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken
might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me,
I have not lost one."
018:010 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at
the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear.
The servant's name was Malchus.
018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword.
Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father
has given me to drink?"
018:012 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in,
and took Jesus and bound Him.
018:013 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law
of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
018:014 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is
to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
