GOD IS WITH US; HE IS OUR LEADER
Judah and Israel were at war. Judah had everything against them – it seemed. They were outnumbered 2:1. Judah had 40,000 troops and Israel had 80,000. They were fighting on Israel’s territory – not familiar ground for the people of Judah. Judah found themselves surrounded – being attacked from the front and from behind. Normally with all these disadvantages Judah would have lost badly. But they had a weapon that Israel had forgotten about.
"God is with us; he is our leader," Abijah cried. "We have not forsaken him!" And as the battle was joined, God, the leader If Judah, brought about a great defeat of Israel. 50,000 men of Israel fell that day – more than the entire army of Judah that went out to fight.
When life seems to turn against us, when friends turn against us or when bad things happen and there seems to be no way out, that is the time to remember that if we are with God, he is with us. He is our leader and will lead us. He will see that we are victorious in his way. So let us have God with us and make him our leader today and every day.

12:7 The fact that they were not to be destroyed did not mean that they would escape punishment. They were to become the servants of Shishak, to render tribute to him, so that they might learn to know my service. This sentence was in accordance with the warning given to the nation through Moses.Deut 28:47-48

13:18 This incident clearly illustrates the extent of the mercy of the Lord even to a rebellious people. In spite of their waywardness and their neglect of His law, in spite of their idolatry, He was prepared to hear them, and to deliver when they called upon Him.
The fact that there was still in Judah a faithful remnant was sufficient reason for God to deliver the whole nation from their enemies. This is something that must never be lost sight of: God is mindful of His servants in all ages, and His hand is ever ready to stretch out on their behalf.

2 Chron 12: The first plunder of the Temple
Why would such a great army suddenly come against Jerusalem? Think about the splendour of the temple under the reign of Solomon and the fame this place had received. This fame had certainly spread to Egypt because Solomon had trading agreements with Egypt (see 1Kin 10:28). Also in 1Kin 10 the people of Sheba heard of all the treasures of Solomon since he had shown them all to the Queen of Sheba, and this event was just one example of the foreign kings and dignitaries that came to Solomon:
"And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart."
So it seems likely that this army came to plunder the temple, a goal they achieved, and then just went away again.

13:20 Jeobaum lived to defeat Rehaboam and lose to his son while doing great evil but in the end all that is sumed up regarding his life is that God struck him and he died. God allowed him greatness then took it all away including his life. to whom God gives much much is expected.

1. And it came to pass, when Rehoboam <7346> had established <3559>(8687) the kingdom <4438>, and had strengthened <2393> himself, he forsook <5800>(8804) the law <8451> of the LORD <3068>, and all Israel <3478> with him.
2. And it came to pass, that in the fifth <2549> year <8141> of king <4428> Rehoboam <7346> Shishak <7895> king <4428> of Egypt <4714> came up <5927>(8804) against Jerusalem <3389>, because they had transgressed <4603>(8804) against the LORD <3068>,
3. With twelve hundred <3967> <505> chariots <7393>, and threescore <8346> thousand <505> horsemen <6571>: and the people <5971> were without number <4557> that came <935>(8804) with him out of Egypt <4714>; the Lubims <3864>, the Sukkiims <5525>, and the Ethiopians <3569>.
4. And he took <3920>(8799) the fenced <4694> cities <5892> which pertained to Judah <3063>, and came <935>(8799) to Jerusalem <3389>.
5. Then came <935>(8804) Shemaiah <8098> the prophet <5030> to Rehoboam <7346>, and to the princes <8269> of Judah <3063>, that were gathered together <622>(8738) to Jerusalem <3389> because <6440> of Shishak <7895>, and said <559>(8799) unto them, Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, Ye have forsaken <5800>(8804) me, and therefore have I also <637> left <5800>(8804) you in the hand <3027> of Shishak <7895>.
6. Whereupon the princes <8269> of Israel <3478> and the king <4428> humbled <3665>(8735) themselves; and they said <559>(8799), The LORD <3068> is righteous <6662>.
7. And when the LORD <3068> saw <7200>(8800) that they humbled <3665>(8738) themselves, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came to Shemaiah <8098>, saying <559>(8800), They have humbled <3665>(8738) themselves; therefore I will not destroy <7843>(8686) them, but I will grant <5414>(8804) them some <4592> deliverance <6413>; and my wrath <2534> shall not be poured out <5413>(8799) upon Jerusalem <3389> by the hand <3027> of Shishak <7895>.
8. Nevertheless they shall be his servants <5650>; that they may know <3045>(8799) my service <5656>, and the service <5656> of the kingdoms <4467> of the countries <776>.
9. So Shishak <7895> king <4428> of Egypt <4714> came up <5927>(8799) against Jerusalem <3389>, and took away <3947>(8799) the treasures <214> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and the treasures <214> of the king's <4428> house <1004>; he took <3947>(8804) all: he carried away <3947>(8799) also the shields <4043> of gold <2091> which Solomon <8010> had made <6213>(8804).
10. Instead of which king <4428> Rehoboam <7346> made <6213>(8799) shields <4043> of brass <5178>, and committed <6485>(8689) them to the hands <3027> of the chief <8269> of the guard <7323>(8801), that kept <8104>(8802) the entrance <6607> of the king's <4428> house <1004>.
11. And when <1767> the king <4428> entered <935>(8800) into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, the guard <7323>(8801) came <935>(8804) and fetched <5375>(8804) them, and brought them again <7725>(8689) into the guard <7323>(8801) chamber <8372>.
12. And when he humbled <3665>(8736) himself, the wrath <639> of the LORD <3068> turned <7725>(8804) from him, that he would not destroy <7843>(8687) him altogether <3617>: and also in Judah <3063> things <1697> went well <2896>.
13. So king <4428> Rehoboam <7346> strengthened <2388>(8691) himself in Jerusalem <3389>, and reigned <4427>(8799): for Rehoboam <7346> was one <259> and forty <705> years <8141> old <1121> when he began to reign <4427>(8800), and he reigned <4427>(8804) seventeen <7651> <6240> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>, the city <5892> which the LORD <3068> had chosen <977>(8804) out of all the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478>, to put <7760>(8800) his name <8034> there. And his mother's <517> name <8034> was Naamah <5279> an Ammonitess <5985>.
14. And he did <6213>(8799) evil <7451>, because he prepared <3559>(8689) not his heart <3820> to seek <1875>(8800) the LORD <3068>.
15. Now the acts <1697> of Rehoboam <7346>, first <7223> and last <314>, are they not written <3789>(8803) in the book <1697> of Shemaiah <8098> the prophet <5030>, and of Iddo <5714> the seer <2374> concerning genealogies <3187>(8692)? And there were wars <4421> between Rehoboam <7346> and Jeroboam <3379> continually <3117>.
16. And Rehoboam <7346> slept <7901>(8799) with his fathers <1>, and was buried <6912>(8735) in the city <5892> of David <1732>: and Abijah <29> his son <1121> reigned <4427>(8799) in his stead.
1. Now in the eighteenth <8083> <6240> year <8141> of king <4428> Jeroboam <3379> began Abijah <29> to reign <4427>(8799) over Judah <3063>.
2. He reigned <4427>(8804) three <7969> years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. His mother's <517> name <8034> also was Michaiah <4322> the daughter <1323> of Uriel <222> of Gibeah <1390>. And there was war <4421> between Abijah <29> and Jeroboam <3379>.
3. And Abijah <29> set <631> <0> the battle <4421> in array <631>(8799) with an army <2428> of valiant men <1368> of war <4421>, even four <702> hundred <3967> thousand <505> chosen <977>(8803) men <376>: Jeroboam <3379> also set the battle <4421> in array <6186>(8804) against him with eight <8083> hundred <3967> thousand <505> chosen <977>(8803) men <376>, being mighty men <1368> of valour <2428>.
4. And Abijah <29> stood up <6965>(8799) upon mount <2022> Zemaraim <6787>, which is in mount <2022> Ephraim <669>, and said <559>(8799), Hear <8085>(8798) me, thou Jeroboam <3379>, and all Israel <3478>;
5. Ought ye not to know <3045>(8800) that the LORD <3068> God <430> of Israel <3478> gave <5414>(8804) the kingdom <4467> over Israel <3478> to David <1732> for ever <5769>, even to him and to his sons <1121> by a covenant <1285> of salt <4417>?
6. Yet Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Nebat <5028>, the servant <5650> of Solomon <8010> the son <1121> of David <1732>, is risen up <6965>(8799), and hath rebelled <4775>(8799) against his lord <113>.
7. And there are gathered <6908>(8735) unto him vain <7386> men <582>, the children <1121> of Belial <1100>, and have strengthened <553>(8691) themselves against Rehoboam <7346> the son <1121> of Solomon <8010>, when Rehoboam <7346> was young <5288> and tenderhearted <7390> <3824>, and could not withstand <2388>(8694) them <6440>.
8. And now ye think <559>(8802) to withstand <2388>(8692) the kingdom <6440> <4467> of the LORD <3068> in the hand <3027> of the sons <1121> of David <1732>; and ye be a great <7227> multitude <1995>, and there are with you golden <2091> calves <5695>, which Jeroboam <3379> made <6213>(8804) you for gods <430>.
9. Have ye not cast out <5080>(8689) the priests <3548> of the LORD <3068>, the sons <1121> of Aaron <175>, and the Levites <3881>, and have made <6213>(8799) you priests <3548> after the manner of the nations <5971> of other lands <776>? so that whosoever cometh <935>(8802) to consecrate <4390>(8763) <3027> himself with a young <1121> <1241> bullock <6499> and seven <7651> rams <352>, the same may be a priest <3548> of them that are no <3808> gods <430>.
10. But as for us, the LORD <3068> is our God <430>, and we have not forsaken <5800>(8804) him; and the priests <3548>, which minister <8334>(8764) unto the LORD <3068>, are the sons <1121> of Aaron <175>, and the Levites <3881> wait upon their business <4399>:
11. And they burn <6999>(8688) unto the LORD <3068> every morning <1242> and every evening <6153> burnt sacrifices <5930> and sweet <5561> incense <7004>: the shewbread <3899> <4635> also set they in order upon the pure <2889> table <7979>; and the candlestick <4501> of gold <2091> with the lamps <5216> thereof, to burn <1197>(8763) every evening <6153>: for we keep <8104>(8802) the charge <4931> of the LORD <3068> our God <430>; but ye have forsaken <5800>(8804) him.
12. And, behold, God <430> himself is with us for our captain <7218>, and his priests <3548> with sounding <8643> trumpets <2689> to cry alarm <7321>(8687) against you. O children <1121> of Israel <3478>, fight <3898>(8735) ye not against the LORD <3068> God <430> of your fathers <1>; for ye shall not prosper <6743>(8686).
13. But Jeroboam <3379> caused an ambushment <3993> to come <935>(8800) about <5437>(8689) behind <310> them: so they were before <6440> Judah <3063>, and the ambushment <3993> was behind <310> them.
14. And when Judah <3063> looked back <6437>(8799), behold, the battle <4421> was before <6440> and behind <268>: and they cried <6817>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>, and the priests <3548> sounded <2690>(8688)(8675) <2690>(8764) with the trumpets <2689>.
15. Then the men <376> of Judah <3063> gave a shout <7321>(8686): and as the men <376> of Judah <3063> shouted <7321>(8687), it came to pass, that God <430> smote <5062>(8804) Jeroboam <3379> and all Israel <3478> before <6440> Abijah <29> and Judah <3063>.
16. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> fled <5127>(8799) before <6440> Judah <3063>: and God <430> delivered <5414>(8799) them into their hand <3027>.
17. And Abijah <29> and his people <5971> slew <5221>(8686) them with a great <7227> slaughter <4347>: so there fell down <5307>(8799) slain <2491> of Israel <3478> five <2568> hundred <3967> thousand <505> chosen <977>(8803) men <376>.
18. Thus the children <1121> of Israel <3478> were brought <3665>(8735) under at that time <6256>, and the children <1121> of Judah <3063> prevailed <553>(8799), because they relied <8172>(8738) upon the LORD <3068> God <430> of their fathers <1>.
19. And Abijah <29> pursued <7291>(8799) after <310> Jeroboam <3379>, and took <3920>(8799) cities <5892> from him, Bethel <1008> with the towns <1323> thereof, and Jeshanah <3466> with the towns <1323> thereof, and Ephrain <6085> with the towns <1323> thereof.
20. Neither did Jeroboam <3379> recover <6113>(8804) strength <3581> again in the days <3117> of Abijah <29>: and the LORD <3068> struck <5062>(8799) him, and he died <4191>(8799).
21. But Abijah <29> waxed mighty <2388>(8691), and married <5375>(8799) fourteen <702> <6240> wives <802>, and begat <3205>(8686) twenty <6242> and two <8147> sons <1121>, and sixteen <8337> <6240> daughters <1323>.
22. And the rest <3499> of the acts <1697> of Abijah <29>, and his ways <1870>, and his sayings <1697>, are written <3789>(8803) in the story <4097> of the prophet <5030> Iddo <5714>.
Notes that are not verse specific
This chapter leaves us in no doubt that there will be ritual sacrifices in the kingdom. I have to admit that this really surprises me and seems out of keeping with the ideas that God later presents through the new covenant and the association we can have with Jesus which leads to salvation. I hope one day to understand this better, even if it is not until the kingdom!
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Peter
The way in which the 'prince' is shown offering sacrifices is further evidence that he will be a mortal. Jesus offered 'once and for all' (Hebrews 10:10). The offering of animals is to teach the need for sacrifice. Jesus and the glorified saints have already learnt this and given themselves (Romans 12:1).

9.

10. And the prince <5387> in the midst <8432> of them, when they go in <935>(8800), shall go in <935>(8799); and when they go forth <3318>(8800), shall go forth <3318>(8799).
11. And in the feasts <2282> and in the solemnities <4150> the meat offering <4503> shall be an ephah <374> to a bullock <6499>, and an ephah <374> to a ram <352>, and to the lambs <3532> as he is able <3027> to give <4991>, and an hin <1969> of oil <8081> to an ephah <374>.

Now when the prince <5387> shall prepare <6213>(8799) a voluntary <5071> burnt offering <5930> or peace offerings <8002> voluntarily <5071> unto the LORD <3068>, one shall then open <6605>(8804) him the gate <8179> that looketh <6437>(8802) toward the east <6921>, and he shall prepare <6213>(8804) his burnt offering <5930> and his peace offerings <8002>, as he did <6213>(8799) on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>: then he shall go forth <3318>(8804); and after <310> his going forth <3318>(8800) one shall shut <5462>(8804) the gate <8179>.
13. Thou shalt daily <3117> prepare <6213>(8799) a burnt offering <5930> unto the LORD <3068> of a lamb <3532> of the first <1121> year <8141> without blemish <8549>: thou shalt prepare <6213>(8799) it every <1242> morning <1242>.

And thou shalt prepare <6213>(8799) a meat offering <4503> for it every morning <1242>, the sixth part <8345> of an ephah <374>, and the third part <7992> of an hin <1969> of oil <8081>, to temper with <7450>(8800) the fine flour <5560>; a meat offering <4503> continually <8548> by a perpetual <5769> ordinance <2708> unto the LORD <3068>.
15. Thus shall they prepare <6213>(8799)(8675) <6213>(8804) the lamb <3532>, and the meat offering <4503>, and the oil <8081>, every morning <1242> for a continual <8548> burnt offering <5930>.
16. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>; If the prince <5387> give <5414>(8799) a gift <4979> unto any <376> of his sons <1121>, the inheritance <5159> thereof shall be his sons <1121>'; it shall be their possession <272> by inheritance <5159>.
17. But if he give <5414>(8799) a gift <4979> of his inheritance <5159> to one <259> of his servants <5650>, then it shall be his to the year <8141> of liberty <1865>; after it shall return <7725>(8804) to the prince <5387>: but his inheritance <5159> shall be his sons <1121>' for them.
18. Moreover the prince <5387> shall not take <3947>(8799) of the people's <5971> inheritance <5159> by oppression <3238>(8687), to thrust <3238>(8687) them out of their possession <272>; but he shall give his sons <1121> inheritance <5157>(8686) out of his own possession <272>: that my people <5971> be not scattered <6327>(8799) every man <376> from his possession <272>.
19. After he brought <935>(8686) me through the entry <3996>, which was at the side <3802> of the gate <8179>, into the holy <6944> chambers <3957> of the priests <3548>, which looked <6437>(8802) toward the north <6828>: and, behold, there was a place <4725> on the two sides <3411> westward <3220>.
20. Then said <559>(8799) he unto me, This is the place <4725> where the priests <3548> shall boil <1310>(8762) the trespass offering <817> and the sin offering <2403>, where they shall bake <644>(8799) the meat offering <4503>; that they bear <3318>(8687) them not out into the utter <2435> court <2691>, to sanctify <6942>(8763) the people <5971>.
21. Then he brought me forth <3318>(8686) into the utter <2435> court <2691>, and caused me to pass by <5674>(8686) the four <702> corners <4740> of the court <2691>; and, behold, in every <4740> corner <4740> of the court <2691> <2691> there was a court <2691>.
22. In the four <702> corners <4740> of the court <2691> there were courts <2691> joined <7000>(8803) of forty <705> cubits long <753> and thirty <7970> broad <7341>: these four <702> corners <7106>(8716) were of one <259> measure <4060>.
23. And there was a row <2905> of building round about <5439> in them, round about <5439> them four <702>, and it was made <6213>(8803) with boiling places <4018> under the rows <2918> round about <5439>.
24. Then said <559>(8799) he unto me, These are the places <1004> of them that boil <1310>(8764), where the ministers <8334>(8764) of the house <1004> shall boil <1310>(8762) the sacrifice <2077> of the people <5971>.
Notes that are not verse specific
John 13:34: The second great commandment had been to love your neighbour as your self. Christ has changed that commandment so the new commandment is love your neighbour as Christ has loved you. The image of self has been replaced with the example of Christ raising the expectation of that love.

14:21 “He who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will disclose myself to him.”
Jesus and others declared that Jesus’ relationship with God was as a son to his father in as natural a way as other men speak of their respective fathers. Yet if Jesus were God, as Trinitarians claim, this is incorrect. cp also “… together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6

1. Now <1161> before <4253> the feast <1859> of the passover <3957>, when Jesus <2424> knew <1492>(5761) that <3754> his <846> hour <5610> was come <2064>(5754) that <2443> he should depart <3327>(5632) out of <1537> this <5127> world <2889> unto <4314> the Father <3962>, having loved <25>(5660) his own <2398> which <3588> were in <1722> the world <2889>, he loved <25>(5656) them <846> unto <1519> the end <5056>.
2. And <2532> supper <1173> being ended <1096>(5637), the devil <1228> having now <2235> put <906>(5761) into <1519> the heart <2588> of Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, Simon's <4613> son, to <2443> betray <3860>(5632) him <846>;
3. Jesus <2424> knowing <1492>(5761) that <3754> the Father <3962> had given <1325>(5758) all things <3956> into <1519> his <846> hands <5495>, and <2532> that <3754> he was come <1831>(5627) from <575> God <2316>, and <2532> went <5217>(5719) to <4314> God <2316>;
4. He riseth <1453>(5743) from <1537> supper <1173>, and <2532> laid aside <5087>(5719) his <846> garments <2440>; and <2532> took <2983>(5631) a towel <3012>, and girded <1241>(5656) himself <1438>.
5. After that <1534> he poureth <906>(5719) water <5204> into <1519> a bason <3537>, and <2532> began <756>(5662) to wash <3538>(5721) the disciples <3101>' feet <4228>, and <2532> to wipe <1591>(5721) them with the towel <3012> wherewith <3739> he was <2258>(5713) girded <1241>(5772).
6. Then <3767> cometh he <2064>(5736) to <4314> Simon <4613> Peter <4074>: and <2532> Peter <1565> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, dost <3538> <0> thou <4771> wash <3538>(5719) my <3450> feet <4228>?
7. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, What <3739> I <1473> do <4160>(5719) thou <4771> knowest <1492>(5758) not <3756> now <737>; but <1161> thou shalt know <1097>(5695) hereafter <3326> <5023>.
8. Peter <4074> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Thou shalt <3538> <0> never <1519> <165> <3364> wash <3538>(5661) my <3450> feet <4228>. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) him <846>, If <3362> <0> I wash <3538>(5661) thee <4571> not <3362>, thou hast <2192>(5719) no <3756> part <3313> with <3326> me <1700>.
9. Simon <4613> Peter <4074> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, not <3361> my <3450> feet <4228> only <3440>, but <235> also <2532> my hands <5495> and <2532> my head <2776>.
10. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) to him <846>, He that is washed <3068>(5772) needeth <5532> not <3756> <2192>(5719) save <2228> to wash <3538>(5670) his feet <4228>, but <235> is <2076>(5748) clean <2513> every whit <3650>: and <2532> ye <5210> are <2075>(5748) clean <2513>, but <235> not <3780> all <3956>.
11. For <1063> he knew <1492>(5715) who <3588> should betray <3860>(5723) him <846>; therefore <5124> <1223> said he <2036>(5627), Ye are <2075>(5748) not <3780> all <3956> clean <2513>.
12. So <3767> after <3753> he had washed <3538>(5656) their <846> feet <4228>, and <2532> had taken <2983>(5627) his <848> garments <2440>, and was set down <377>(5631) again <3825>, he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Know ye <1097>(5719) what <5101> I have done <4160>(5758) to you <5213>?
13. Ye <5210> call <5455>(5719) me <3165> Master <1320> and <2532> Lord <2962>: and <2532> ye say <3004>(5719) well <2573>; for <1063> so I am <1510>(5748).
14. If <1487> I <1473> then <3767>, your Lord <2962> and <2532> Master <1320>, have washed <3538>(5656) your <5216> feet <4228>; ye <5210> also <2532> ought <3784>(5719) to wash <3538>(5721) one another's <240> feet <4228>.
15. For <1063> I have given <1325>(5656) you <5213> an example <5262>, that <2443> ye <5210> should do <4160>(5725) as <2531> <2532> I <1473> have done <4160>(5656) to you <5213>.
16. Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, The servant <1401> is <2076>(5748) not <3756> greater than <3187> his <848> lord <2962>; neither <3761> he that is sent <652> greater than <3187> he that sent <3992>(5660) him <846>.
17. If <1487> ye know <1492>(5758) these things <5023>, happy <3107> are ye <2075>(5748) if <1437> ye do <4160>(5725) them <846>.
18. I speak <3004>(5719) not <3756> of <4012> you <5216> all <3956>: I <1473> know <1492>(5758) whom <3739> I have chosen <1586>(5668): but <235> that <2443> the scripture <1124> may be fulfilled <4137>(5686), He that eateth <5176>(5723) bread <740> with <3326> me <1700> hath lifted up <1869>(5656) his <848> heel <4418> against <1909> me <1691>.
19. Now <575> <737> I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213> before <4253> it come <1096>(5635), that <2443>, when <3752> it is come to pass <1096>(5638), ye may believe <4100>(5661) that <3754> I <1473> am <1510>(5748) he.
20. Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, He that receiveth <2983>(5723) whomsoever <1437> <5100> I send <3992>(5661) receiveth <2983>(5719) me <1691>; and <1161> he that receiveth <2983>(5723) me <1691> receiveth <2983>(5719) him that sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
21. When Jesus <2424> had <2036> <0> thus <5023> said <2036>(5631), he was troubled <5015>(5681) in spirit <4151>, and <2532> testified <3140>(5656), and <2532> said <2036>(5627), Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, that <3754> one <1520> of <1537> you <5216> shall betray <3860>(5692) me <3165>.
22. Then <3767> the disciples <3101> looked <991>(5707) one on another <1519> <240>, doubting <639>(5734) of <4012> whom <5101> he spake <3004>(5719).
23. Now <1161> there was <2258>(5713) leaning <345>(5740) on <1722> Jesus <2424>' bosom <2859> one <1520> of his <846> disciples <3101>, whom <3739> Jesus <2424> loved <25>(5707).
24. Simon <4613> Peter <4074> therefore <3767> beckoned <3506>(5719) to him <5129>, that he should ask <4441>(5635) who <5101> it should <302> be <1498>(5751) of <4012> whom <3739> he spake <3004>(5719).
25. He <1565> then <1161> lying on <1968>(5631) <1909> Jesus <2424>' breast <4738> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, who <5101> is it <2076>(5748)?
26. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5736), He <1565> it is <2076>(5748), to whom <3739> I shall give <1929>(5692) a sop <5596>, when I <1473> have dipped <911>(5660) it. And <2532> when he had dipped <1686>(5660) the sop <5596>, he gave <1325>(5719) it to Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, the son of Simon <4613>.
27. And <2532> after <3326> the sop <5596> <5119> Satan <4567> entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> him <1565>. Then <3767> said <3004>(5719) Jesus <2424> unto him <846>, That thou doest <4160>(5719), do <4160>(5657) quickly <5032>.
28. Now <1161> no man <3762> at the table <345>(5740) knew <1097>(5627) for what <4314> intent <5101> he spake <2036>(5627) this <5124> unto him <846>.
29. For <1063> some <5100> of them thought <1380>(5707), because <1893> Judas <2455> had <2192>(5707) the bag <1101>, that <3754> Jesus <2424> had said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Buy <59>(5657) those things that <3739> we have <2192>(5719) need of <5532> against <1519> the feast <1859>; or <2228>, that <2443> he should give <1325>(5632) something <5100> to the poor <4434>.
30. He <1565> then <3767> having received <2983>(5631) the sop <5596> went <1831> <0> immediately <2112> out <1831>(5627): and <1161> it was <2258>(5713) night <3571>.
31. Therefore <3767>, when <3753> he was gone out <1831>(5627), Jesus <2424> said <3004>(5719), Now <3568> is <1392> <0> the Son <5207> of man <444> glorified <1392>(5681), and <2532> God <2316> is glorified <1392>(5681) in <1722> him <846>.
32. If <1487> God <2316> be glorified <1392>(5681) in <1722> him <846>, God <2316> shall <1392> <0> also <2532> glorify <1392>(5692) him <846> in <1722> himself <1438>, and <2532> shall <1392> <0> straightway <2117> glorify <1392>(5692) him <846>.
33. Little children <5040>, yet <2089> a little while <3397> I am <1510>(5748) with <3326> you <5216>. Ye shall seek <2212>(5692) me <3165>: and <2532> as <2531> I said <2036>(5627) unto the Jews <2453>, <3754> Whither <3699> I <1473> go <5217>(5719), ye <5210> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629); so <2532> now <737> I say <3004>(5719) to you <5213>.
34. A new <2537> commandment <1785> I give <1325>(5719) unto you <5213>, That <2443> ye love <25>(5725) one another <240>; as <2531> I have loved <25>(5656) you <5209>, that <2443> ye <5210> also <2532> love <25>(5725) one another <240>.
35. By <1722> this <5129> shall <1097> <0> all <3956> men know <1097>(5695) that <3754> ye are <2075>(5748) my <1699> disciples <3101>, if <1437> ye have <2192>(5725) love <26> one to another <1722> <240>.
36. Simon <4613> Peter <4074> said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, whither <4226> goest <5217>(5719) thou? Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) him <846>, Whither <3699> I go <5217>(5719), thou canst <1410>(5736) not <3756> follow <190>(5658) me <3427> now <3568>; but <1161> thou shalt follow <190>(5692) me <3427> afterwards <5305>.
37. Peter <4074> said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, why <1302> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) I follow <190>(5658) thee <4671> now <737>? I will lay down <5087>(5692) my <3450> life <5590> for <5228> thy sake <4675>.
38. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) him <846>, Wilt thou lay down <5087>(5692) thy <4675> life <5590> for <5228> my sake <1700>? Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004>(5719) unto thee <4671>, The cock <220> shall <5455> <0> not <3364> crow <5455>(5692), till <2193> <3739> thou hast denied <533>(5695) me <3165> thrice <5151>.
1. Let <5015> <0> not <3361> your <5216> heart <2588> be troubled <5015>(5744): ye believe <4100>(5720) in <1519> God <2316>, believe <4100>(5719)(5720) also <2532> in <1519> me <1691>.
2. In <1722> my <3450> Father's <3962> house <3614> are <1526>(5748) many <4183> mansions <3438>: if it were not <1490> so, I would have told <302> <2036>(5627) you <5213>. I go <4198>(5736) to prepare <2090>(5658) a place <5117> for you <5213>.
3. And <2532> if <1437> I go <4198>(5680) and <2532> prepare <2090>(5661) a place <5117> for you <5213>, I will come <2064>(5736) again <3825>, and <2532> receive <3880>(5695) you <5209> unto <4314> myself <1683>; that <2443> where <3699> I <1473> am <1510>(5748), there ye <5210> may be <5600>(5753) also <2532>.
4. And <2532> whither <3699> I <1473> go <5217>(5719) ye know <1492>(5758), and <2532> the way <3598> ye know <1492>(5758).
5. Thomas <2381> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, we know <1492>(5758) not <3756> whither <4226> thou goest <5217>(5719); and <2532> how <4459> can we <1410>(5736) know <1492>(5760) the way <3598>?
6. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, I <1473> am <1510>(5748) the way <3598>, <2532> the truth <225>, and <2532> the life <2222>: no man <3762> cometh <2064>(5736) unto <4314> the Father <3962>, but <1508> by <1223> me <1700>.
7. If <1487> ye had known <1097>(5715) me <3165>, <302> ye should have known <1097>(5715) my <3450> Father <3962> also <2532>: and <2532> from <575> henceforth <737> ye know <1097>(5719) him <846>, and <2532> have seen <3708>(5758) him <846>.
8. Philip <5376> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, shew <1166>(5657) us <2254> the Father <3962>, and <2532> it sufficeth <714>(5719) us <2254>.
9. Jesus <2424> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Have I been <1510>(5748) so long <5118> time <5550> with <3326> you <5216>, and yet <2532> hast thou <1097> <0> not <3756> known <1097>(5758) me <3165>, Philip <5376>? he that hath seen <3708>(5761) me <1691> hath seen <3708>(5758) the Father <3962>; and <2532> how <4459> sayest <3004>(5719) thou <4771> then, Shew <1166>(5657) us <2254> the Father <3962>?
10. Believest thou <4100>(5719) not <3756> that <3754> I <1473> am <2076>(5748) in <1722> the Father <3962>, and <2532> the Father <3962> in <1722> me <1698>? the words <4487> that <3739> I <1473> speak <2980>(5719) unto you <5213> I speak <2980>(5719) not <3756> of <575> myself <1683>: but <1161> the Father <3962> that dwelleth <3306>(5723) in <1722> me <1698>, he <846> doeth <4160>(5719) the works <2041>.
11. Believe <4100>(5720) me <3427> that <3754> I <1473> am in <1722> the Father <3962>, and <2532> the Father <3962> in <1722> me <1698>: or else <1490> believe <4100>(5720) me <3427> for <1223> the very <846> <0> works <2041>' sake <846>.
12. Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, He that believeth <4100>(5723) on <1519> me <1691>, the works <2041> that I <1473> do <4160>(5719) shall he do <4160>(5692) also <2548>; and <2532> greater works than <3187> these <5130> shall he do <4160>(5692); because <3754> I <1473> go <4198>(5736) unto <4314> my <3450> Father <3962>.
13. And <2532> whatsoever <3748> <302> ye shall ask <154>(5661) in <1722> my <3450> name <3686>, that <5124> will I do <4160>(5692), that <2443> the Father <3962> may be glorified <1392>(5686) in <1722> the Son <5207>.
14. If <1437> ye shall ask <154>(5661) any thing <5100> in <1722> my <3450> name <3686>, I <1473> will do <4160>(5692) it.
15. If <1437> ye love <25>(5725) me <3165>, keep <5083>(5657) my <1699> commandments <1785>.
16. And <2532> I <1473> will pray <2065>(5692) the Father <3962>, and <2532> he shall give <1325>(5692) you <5213> another <243> Comforter <3875>, that <2443> he may abide <3306>(5725) with <3326> you <5216> for <1519> ever <165>;
17. Even the Spirit <4151> of truth <225>; whom <3739> the world <2889> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) receive <2983>(5629), because <3754> it seeth <2334>(5719) him <846> not <3756>, neither <3761> knoweth <1097>(5719) him <846>: but <1161> ye <5210> know <1097>(5719) him <846>; for <3754> he dwelleth <3306>(5719) with <3844> you <5213>, and <2532> shall be <2071>(5704) in <1722> you <5213>.
18. I will <863> <0> not <3756> leave <863>(5692) you <5209> comfortless <3737>: I will come <2064>(5736) to <4314> you <5209>.
19. Yet <2089> a little while <3397>, and <2532> the world <2889> seeth <2334>(5719) me <3165> no <3765> more <2089>; but <1161> ye <5210> see <2334>(5719) me <3165>: because <3754> I <1473> live <2198>(5719), ye <5210> shall live <2198>(5695) also <2532>.
20. At <1722> that <1565> day <2250> ye <5210> shall know <1097>(5695) that <3754> I <1473> am in <1722> my <3450> Father <3962>, and <2532> ye <5210> in <1722> me <1698>, and I <2504> in <1722> you <5213>.
21. He that hath <2192>(5723) my <3450> commandments <1785>, and <2532> keepeth <5083>(5723) them <846>, he <1565> it is <2076>(5748) that loveth <25>(5723) me <3165>: and <1161> he that loveth <25>(5723) me <3165> shall be loved <25>(5701) of <5259> my <3450> Father <3962>, and <2532> I <1473> will love <25>(5692) him <846>, and <2532> will manifest <1718>(5692) myself <1683> to him <846>.
22. Judas <2455> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, not <3756> Iscariot <2469>, Lord <2962>, how <5101> is it <1096>(5754) that <3754> thou wilt <3195>(5719) manifest <1718>(5721) thyself <4572> unto us <2254>, and <2532> not <3780> unto the world <2889>?
23. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662) and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, If <1437> a man <5100> love <25>(5725) me <3165>, he will keep <5083>(5692) my <3450> words <3056>: and <2532> my <3450> Father <3962> will love <25>(5692) him <846>, and <2532> we will come <2064>(5695) unto <4314> him <846>, and <2532> make <4160>(5692) our abode <3438> with <3844> him <846>.
24. He that loveth <25>(5723) me <3165> not <3361> keepeth <5083>(5719) not <3756> my <3450> sayings <3056>: and <2532> the word <3056> which <3739> ye hear <191>(5719) is <2076>(5748) not <3756> mine <1699>, but <235> the Father's <3962> which <3588> sent <3992>(5660) me <3165>.
25. These things <5023> have I spoken <2980>(5758) unto you <5213>, being yet present <3306>(5723) with <3844> you <5213>.
26. But <1161> the Comforter <3875>, which is the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, whom <3739> the Father <3962> will send <3992>(5692) in <1722> my <3450> name <3686>, he <1565> shall teach <1321>(5692) you <5209> all things <3956>, and <2532> bring <5279> <0> all things <3956> to <5279> <0> your <5209> remembrance <5279>(5692), whatsoever <3739> I have said <2036>(5627) unto you <5213>.
27. Peace <1515> I leave <863>(5719) with you <5213>, my <1699> peace <1515> I give <1325>(5719) unto you <5213>: not <3756> as <2531> the world <2889> giveth <1325>(5719), give <1325>(5719) I <1473> unto you <5213>. Let <5015> <0> not <3361> your <5216> heart <2588> be troubled <5015>(5744), neither <3366> let it be afraid <1168>(5720).
28. Ye have heard <191>(5656) how <3754> I <1473> said <2036>(5627) unto you <5213>, I go away <5217>(5719), and <2532> come <2064>(5736) again unto <4314> you <5209>. If <1487> ye loved <25>(5707) me <3165>, <302> ye would rejoice <5463>(5644), because <3754> I said <2036>(5627), I go <4198>(5736) unto <4314> the Father <3962>: for <3754> my <3450> Father <3962> is <2076>(5748) greater than <3187> I <3450>.
29. And <2532> now <3568> I have told <2046>(5758) you <5213> before <4250> it come to pass <1096>(5635), that <2443>, when <3752> it is come to pass <1096>(5638), ye might believe <4100>(5661).
30. Hereafter <2089> <3765> <0> I will <2980> <0> not <3765> talk <2980>(5692) much <4183> with <3326> you <5216>: for <1063> the prince <758> of this <5127> world <2889> cometh <2064>(5736), and <2532> hath <2192>(5719) <3756> nothing <3762> in <1722> me <1698>.
31. But <235> that <2443> the world <2889> may know <1097>(5632) that <3754> I love <25>(5719) the Father <3962>; and <2532> as <2531> the Father <3962> gave <1781> <0> me <3427> commandment <1781>(5662), even so <3779> I do <4160>(5719). Arise <1453>(5728), let us go <71>(5725) hence <1782>.
