CHAP. This is my commandment, that ye
love one another, as I have loved
13 you. No one can show his love
more, than by laying down his life
14 for his friends. Ye will be my
friends, if ye do what I command
15 you. I no more call you servants,
for the servant knoweth not what
his master is doing; but I call you
friends, because I have made known
to you all that I have heard from
16 my Father. Ye chose not me, but
I chose you, and placed you on the
vine, that you may go on bearing
fruit, and this fruit may continue,
frine,
that whatsoever ye shall ask the
Father in my name, he may give
it you.

"These things have I spoken 25 unto you in dark speeches: a time however is coming, when I will no longer speak to you in dark speeches, but will tell you plainly of the Father. In that day ye will 26 ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father for you, that will not be requisite; for the 27 Father himself loveth you, because ye love me, and believe that I came from God. I came forth from the 28 Father, and am come into the world; again I leave the world, and go to the Father." His disciples say unto 29 him, "Lo! now thou speakest plainly, without any dark speech at all. Now we are sure that thou know- 30 est all things, and there is no need that any one should ask thee again. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God."
