Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in Me. 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. And when 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, and you know the way where I am going.
- [02:22]
Disciples (Various)
Thomas said to him, lord, we do.
- [02:24]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Not know where you are going. How can we know the way? I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. Henceforth you know him and have seen Him.
- [02:46]
Disciples (Various)
Philip said to him, lord, show us.
- [02:50]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
The Father and we shall be satisfied. Have I been with you so long and yet you do not know me? Philip he who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father 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. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. Or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you. He who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And greater works than these will he do. Because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it. That the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father. And he will give you another counselor to be with you forever. 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. I will not leave you desolate. I will come to you yet a little while. And the world will see me no more. But you will see Me because I live. You will live also. In that day you will know that I am in my Father and you in Me. And I in you. He who 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.

Disciples (Various)
Judas, not Iscariot, said to him, lord.
- [05:09]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
How is it that you will manifest yourself to us.
- [05:12]
Disciples (Various)
And not to the world?
- [05:14]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
If a man 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. He who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the counselor, 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. 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. You heard me say to you, I go away, and I will come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced. Because I go to the Father. For the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place. So that when it does take place, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you. For the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me. But I do as the Father has commanded me. So that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise. Let us go. Hans. I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away. And every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes that it may bear more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 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. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.
- [07:41]
Disciples (Various)
For.
- [07:42]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
For apart from me, you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers. And the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in Me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this my Father is glorified that you bear much fruit. And so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 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. These things I have spoken to you. That my joy may be in you and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment. That you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this. That a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. 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. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. And. And that your fruit should abide. So that whatever you ask the Father in My name, he may give it to you this. I command you to love one another. If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world. But I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you. A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all this they will do to you on my Account, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. It is to fulfill the word that is written in their law. They hated me without a cause. But when the counselor comes. Whom I shall send to you from the Father, Even the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father. He will bear witness to Me. And you also are witnesses. Because you have been with Me from the beginning. I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. 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. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor Me. 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. But now I am going to him who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, where are you going? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 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. When he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and. And righteousness and judgment concerning sin. Because they do not believe in me. Concerning righteousness. Because I go to the Father. And you will see me no more concerning judgment. Because the ruler of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them. Now 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. He will glorify me. For he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. Therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. A little while and you will see Me no more.

Disciples (Various)
Again.
- [14:04]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
A little while, and you will see me.
- [14:09]
Disciples (Various)
Some of his disciples said to one.
- [14:11]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Another, what is this that he says to us? A little while and you will not see me.
- [14:16]
Disciples (Various)
And again?
- [14:17]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
A little while and you will see me. And because I go to the Father, what does He Mean by a little while? We do not know what he means.
- [14:27]
Disciples (Various)
Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him. So he said to them, is this.
- [14:32]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
What you're 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. 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. 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 of for joy that a child is born into the world. 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. In that day you will ask nothing of Me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, He. He will give it to you in My name. Hitherto you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 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. In that day you will ask in My name. And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you, for the Father Himself loves you. Because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. I came from the Father and have come into the world again. I am leaving the world and going to the Father. Ah, now you are speaking plainly. Not in any figure. Now we know that you know all things and need none to question you. By this we believe that you came from God. Do you now believe 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. 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.
- [17:19]
Disciples (Various)
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven.
- [17:25]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, since Thou hast given him power over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom Thou hast given him. And this is eternal life that they know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which Thou gavest me to do. And now, Father, glorify Thou me in Thy own presence. With the glory which I had with Thee before the world was made, 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. Now they know that every everything that Thou hast given me is from Thee. 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. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given me. For they are Thine, all mine are thine, and thine are mine. And I am glorified in them. 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. 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. But now I am coming to Thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 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. I do not pray that Thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldst keep them from the evil One. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth. Thy word is truth. As Thou didst send Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself that they also may be consecrated in truth. I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in Me through their word. 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. The glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one, 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 has loved them even as Thou has loved me. 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 before the foundation of the world, O righteous Father. The world has not known thee, but I have known Thee. And these know that Thou hast sent me. I made known to them Thy name. And I will make it known. That the love with which thou. Thou hast loved me. May be in them. And I in them.

Disciples (Various)
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. Now, Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place. For Jesus often met there with his disciples. 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. Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him. Came forward.
- [23:17]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Whom do you seek? Jesus of Nazareth. I am He.
- [23:23]
Disciples (Various)
Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. When he said to them. I am He. They drew back and fell to the ground.
- [23:34]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Whom do you seek?
- [23:35]
Disciples (Various)
Jesus of Nazareth.
- [23:38]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
I told you that I am He. So if you seek me, let these men go.

Disciples (Various)
This was to fulfill the word which which he had spoken. Of those whom Thou gavest me. I lost not one. 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.
- [24:07]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Put your sword into its sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?
- [24:16]
Disciples (Various)
So the band of soldiers and their captain. And the officers of the Jews. Seized Jesus and bound him. First they led him to Annas. For he was the father in law of Caiaphas. Who was high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews. That it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 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. 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. The maid who kept the door said to Peter.

Are not you also so one of this man's disciples?
- [25:08]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
I am not.

Disciples (Various)
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. The high priest then questioned Jesus. About his disciples and his teaching. Jesus answered him.
- [25:29]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
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. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me. What I said to them, they know what I said.
- [25:49]
Disciples (Various)
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand.
- [25:56]
Jesus (Narration/Voice Actor)
Is that how you answer the the High Priest If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?
- [26:08]
Disciples (Various)
Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas. The High Priest.

A grapevine is an amazing thing. The beauty of each vine is found in its fruit. Only a healthy vine that is firmly rooted can produce the branches from which grapes can bud and grow. To be healthy, a branch must receive continual nutrients from the vine. Even the smallest interruption of the nutrient flow from the vine will cause a branch to wither and become fruitless. This is the picture Jesus painted for his followers to help them grasp their dependence on Him. Only by receiving the life Jesus gives can we truly live a fruitful life, a life of love and service. Just as a near visceral impact is produced by the splendor of the vineyard ready for harvest, so it is when those who serve the Lord band together. It is a glory that could change the world. Father Jesus desired his followers recognize the message of the vine and the branches. Help me recall this picture whenever I find my connection to Jesus interrupted. Keep me close and help me bear the fruit of your kingdom. Thank you for listening to episode 22 of the 52 episode podcast series, the Life of the Jesus. Make sure to spread the word.
