SECTION XLV.

§ 45Jo. 13, 23.Jo. 13, 24.Jo. 13, 25.Jo. 13, 26.1, 2And one of his disciples was sitting6 in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning3 whom he spake. And that disciple leaned7 on Jesus’ breast,Arabic, p. 170 and said unto him,4 My Lord, who is this? Jesus answered and said, He to whom I shall dip bread, and give it. And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.5 And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him,Jo. 13, 27.Jo. 13, 28.Jo. 13, 29. What thou6 desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. And no man of them that sat knew why he7 said this unto him. And some of them thought, because Judas had the box, that he was bidding him buy what would be needed for the feast; or, that he might pay8 something to the poor. Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I,Mt. 26, 25.Jo. 13, 30. my9 Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.

10And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,8Jo. 13, 31.Jo. 13, 32. and God is being glorified 11 in him; and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

12And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided;Mk. 14, 22a.Mt. 26, 26b. and he 13gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body.Mk. 14, 23a.Mt. 26, 27b.Mk. 14, 23b.Mk. 14, 24a.Mt. 26, 28.Mt. 26, 29. And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, and said, Take14, 15 and drink of it, all of you. And they drank of it, all of them. And he said unto them, This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the16 forgiveness of sins.Arabic, p. 171 I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink1 with you new wine in the kingdom of17 God. And thus do ye in remembrance of me. And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon,Lk. 22, 19b.Lk. 22, 31.Lk. 22, 32.18 behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: but I entreat2 for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:3 and do thou, at some time, turn4 and strengthen thy brethren.

19My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me:Jo. 13, 33.Jo. 13, 34. and as20 I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved21 you, so shall ye also love one another.Jo. 13, 35.Jo. 13, 36. By this shall every man know that ye are22 my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered and said unto him, Whither I go, thou canst not now follow me; but later thou shalt come.

23Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert5 me this night:6 it is written,Mt. 26, 31.Mt. 26, 32.Mt. 26, 33.Lk. 22, 33b.Jo. 13, 37b.Jo. 13, 38a.Mk. 14, 30b. I24 will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. But after my25 rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. Simon Cephas answered and said unto26 him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. And my life will I give up for thee.27 Jesus said unto him,Arabic, p. 172 Wilt thou give up thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt to-day, during this night,Lk. 22, 34b.Mk. 14, 31. before the cock crow28 twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. But Cephas said the more,7 Even if it lead to8 death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.

29Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:9 believe in God,Jo. 14, 1.Jo. 14, 2.Jo. 14, 3.30 and believe in me. The stations10 in my Father’s house are many, else I should31 have told11 you. I12 go to prepare for you a place. And if I go to prepare for you a place, I shall return again, and take you unto me; and so where I am,Jo. 14, 4.Jo. 14, 5. there ye32, 33 shall be also. And the place that I go ye know,13 and the way ye know. Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for34 us to the knowledge of that?14 Jesus said unto him, I am the way,Jo. 14, 6.Jo. 14, 7. and the truth,35 and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know15 him,36 and have seen him. Philip16 said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father,Jo. 14, 8.Jo. 14, 9. and it sufficeth37 us. Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know17 me, Philip? whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest38 thou, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in my Father,Jo. 14, 10. and my Father in me? and the saying that I say, I say not of myself: but my Father who dwelleth in39 me, he doeth these deeds. Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me:40 or else believe for the sake of the deeds.Arabic, p. 173 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also;Jo. 14, 11.Jo. 14, 12. and41 more than that shall he do; I go unto the Father.Jo. 14, 13.Jo. 14, 14.Jo. 14, 15.Jo. 14, 16. And what ye shall ask in my42 name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. And if ye43, 44 ask me18 in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he45 may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive;Jo. 14, 17. for it hath not seen him, nor known him: but ye known him; for he hath dwelt1946with you, and is in you. I will not leave you orphans: I will come unto you.Jo. 14, 18.Jo. 14, 19.Jo. 14, 20.47 Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye48 shall live also. And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
