The Son of man goeth,* as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 23 2 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his dis24 ciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he 25 spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, 26 Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of 27 Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then 28 said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto 29 him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 3 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast 30 said. "He then having received the sop went immediately out and it was night. 1 Mat. xxvi. 23, 4. 31 (*'indeed goeth,' Mk.) 2 Jno. xiii. 23-9. 3 Mat. xxvi. 25. No. 238.

If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify 33 him. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I 34 go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I 35 have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow 37 me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I loved.

Thomas 5 saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; 6 and how can we know the way ? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto 7 the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth know 8 him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew 9 us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the 11 works.

If ye shall ask any 14 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will 15 pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, 16 that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of 17 truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave 18 you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, 19 and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye Ishall live also. At that day ye shall know that I 20 am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that 21 hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is 22 it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love 23 me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the 24 word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet 25 present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy 26 Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave 27 with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the 31 prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the 2 husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth 3 more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I 4 have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the 5 vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye 6 can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall 8 ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye 9 be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I 10 loved you: continue in my ye love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in 12 you, and that your joy might be full. This is my com 11 mandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down 14 his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do what15 soever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my 16 Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he prince. 2 Co. iv. 4.
