And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. | 41So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You heard Me. |
| 42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." | 42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” | 42"I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me." | 42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. | 42I know that You always hear Me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so they may believe You sent Me." |

The Plot to Kill Jesus
(Matthew 26:1-5; Mark 14:1-2; Luke 22:1-6) | 45Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. | 45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, | 45Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him. | 45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. | 45Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what He did believed in Him. |
| 46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. | 46but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. | 46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. | 46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. | 46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. |
| 47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many signs. | 47So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. | 47Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs. | 47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. | 47So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we going to do since this man does many signs? |
| 48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation." | 48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” | 48"If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." | 48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. | 48If we let Him continue in this way, everyone will believe in Him! Then the Romans will come and remove both our place and our nation." |
| 49Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all! | 49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. | 49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, | 49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, | 49One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all! |
| 50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish." | 50Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” | 50nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish." | 50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. | 50You're not considering that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish." |
| 51He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, | 51He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, | 51Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, | 51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; | 51He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, |
| 52and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. | 52and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. | 52and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. | 52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. | 52and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children of God. |
| 53So from that day on they plotted to take his life. | 53So from that day on they made plans to put him to death. | 53So from that day on they planned together to kill Him. | 53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. | 53So from that day on they plotted to kill Him. |
| 54Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. | 54Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples. | 54Therefore Jesus no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples. | 54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. | 54Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples. |
| 55When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover. | 55Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. | 55Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves. | 55And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. | 55The Jewish Passover was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country to purify themselves before the Passover. |
| 56They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, "What do you think? Isn't he coming to the festival at all?" | 56They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?” | 56So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?" | 56Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? | 56They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple complex: "What do you think? He won't come to the festival, will He?" |
