I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that Scripture must be fulfilled, "He that eateth at my table, has lifted his heel against me." I tell you this now before it happen, that when it happeneth, ye may believe that I Mat. 10; 40 20 am the person. Verily verily I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. After uttering these words, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, saying, Verily verily I say Lu. 22; 21. 22 unto you, that one of you will betray me.

Then

the disciples looked one upon another, doubting of 23 whom he spake. Now one of his disciples, one

whom Jesus loved, was lying close to his breast: 24 Simon Peter, therefore, beckoned to him to inquire 25 whom he meant. He then reclining on Jesus' bo26 som, said to him, Master, who is it? Jesus answered,

It is he to whom I shall give this morsel, after I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he 27 gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son. After re28 ceiving the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then

Jesus said to him, What thou dost, do quickly. But none at the table knew why he gave this order. 29 Some imagined, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had signified to him to buy necessaries for the 30 festival, or to give something to the poor. When

Judas had taken the morsel, he immediately went
out: and it was night.

When he was gone, Jesus said, The Son of Man is now glorified, and God is glorified by him. 32 If God be glorified by him, God also will glorify 33 him by himself, and that without delay. My children, I have now but a little time to be with you. Ye will seek me; and what I said to the Jews, "Whither I go, ye cannot come," I say ch.7: 34. 34 at present to you. A new commandment I give 17.

you, that ye love one another; that as I have loved Eph. 5; 2. 35 you, ye also love one another. By this shall all

men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another.

Simon Peter said to him, Master, whither art thou going? Jesus answered, Whither I am going thou canst not follow me now, but afterwards thou 37 shalt follow me. Peter replied, Master, why can

not I follow thee presently? I will lay down my 38 life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou Mat. 26; 34lay down thy life for my sake? Verily verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, until thou hast disowned me thrice.

CONSOLATION TO THE DISCIPLES.

XIV. LET not your heart be troubled; believe on 2 God and believe on me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were otherwise, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you: 3 and after I shall have gone and prepared a place for I will return and take you, you 4 where I am, there ye also may be.

And whither I am going ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas said to him, Master, we know not whither

thou art going. How, then, can we know the 6 way? Jesus answered, I am the way, and the

truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Fa7 ther, but by me. Had ye known me, ye would have known my Father also; and henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Philip said unto him, Master, show us the Fa9 ther, and it sufficeth us. Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and dost thou not yet know me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father. How sayest thou then, "Show us the Fa10 ther?" Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words

CH. 14.

which I speak to you, proceed not from myself: as to the works, it is the Father dwelling in me who 11 doth them. Believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; if not on my testimony, be 12 convinced by the works themselves. Verily verily I say unto you, He who believeth on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay even 13 greater than these he shall do; because I go to my Father, and will do whatsoever ye shall ask in my 14 name. That the Father may be glorified in the Mat. 7; 7 Son, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, I will do. Mar. 11; 23If ye love me, keep my commandments; and ch. 16; 23 I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Monitor to continue with you for ever, even 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither seeth him, nor knoweth him; but ye shall know him, because he will 18 abide with you, and be in you. I will not leave 19 you orphans; I will return unto you. Yet a little

while, and the world shall see me no more; but ye shall see me; because I shall live, ve also shall 20 live. On that day ye shall know that I am in my 21 Father, and ye are in me, and I am in you. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is who loveth me; and he who loveth me will be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and dis22 cover myself unto him. Judas (not Iscariot) said

to him, Master, wherefore wilt thou discover thy23 self to us, and not unto the world? Jesus answering, said unto him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will, love him;

and we will come to him, and dwell with him. 24 He who loveth me not, disregardeth my words;

yet the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

25. I tell you these things while I remain with you. 26 But the Monitor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Fa

ther will send in my name; he will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you. 27 Peace I leave you, my peace I give you; not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Be not dis28 heartened; be not intimidated. Ye have heard me 'I go away and will return to you.' If ye loved me, ye would rejoice that I go to the 29 Father; because my Father is greater than I. This

say,

I tell you now before it happen, that when it hap30 peneth, ye may believe. I shall not henceforth have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing 31 in me; but this must be, that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commandeth me. Arise, let us go hence.

XV. I AM the true vine, and my Father is the vine2 dresser. Every barren branch in me he loppeth off: every fruitful branch he cleaneth by pruning, to 3 render it more fruitful. As for you, ye are already clean through the instructions I have given you. 4 Abide in me, and I will abide in you: as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it adhere to the 5 vine; no more can ye, unless ye adhere to me. I

am the vine; ye are the branches. He who abid
