"of the Father in my name, he may give it 66 you. These things I command you, that ye " love one another. If the world hate you, ye "know that it hated me before it hated you. " If ye were of the world, the world would love "his own: but because ye are not of the "world, but I have chosen you out of the "world, therefore the world hateth you. Re" member the word that I said unto you, The " servant is not greater than his lord. If they "have persecuted me, they will also persecute 66 you; if they have kept my saying, they will "keep your's also. But all these things will "they do unto you for my name's sake, because "they know not him that sent me. If I had "not come and spoken unto them, they had "not had sin: but now they have no cloke " for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my "Father also. If I had not done among them "the works which none other man did, they "had not had sin: but now have they both "seen and hated both me and my Father. " But this cometh to pass, that the word might " be fulfilled that is written in their law, They "hated me without a cause. But when the "Comforter is come, whom I will send unto 66 you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, " which proceedeth from the Father, he shall " testify of me : and ye also shall bear witness, " because ye have been with me from the " beginning." * The sin of wilful ignorance in not knowing, and consequently rejecting him that sent me. Psalm xxxv. 19. By his miraculous gifts and operations. From the beginning of my public ministry. 66 66 2 "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time "cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think " that he doeth God service. And these things " will they do unto you, because they have not "known the Father, nor me. But these things "have I told you, that when the time shall 66 come, ye may remember that I told you of "them. And these things I said not unto you "at the beginning, because I was with you. "But now I go my way to him that sent me; "and none of you asketh me, Whither goest "thou? but because I have said these things " unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is ex"pedient for you that I go away for if I go "not away, the Comforter will not come unto 66 66 you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove "the world of sin, and of righteousness, and "of judgment: of sin, because they believe "not on me; of righteousness, because I go "to my Father, and ye see me no more; of "judgment, because the prince of this world " is judged. I have yet many things to say d • That you may not be discouraged in the performance of your duty. ► Will convince the world of the evil and enormity of the sin of unbelief in rejecting me. • Of the holiness and justice of my cause, and the excellency of my doctrines evidenced by my ascension to my Father. d Of my power to destroy the dominion of sin and Satan, and to execute vengeance on the Jewish church and nation.

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is 66 a come, he will guide you into all truth: for " he shall not speak of himself; but whatso" ever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and " he will shew you things to come. He shall "glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, " and shall shew it unto you. All things that "the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, "that he shall take of mine, and shew it unto 66 you. A little while, and ye shall not see me : " and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." b Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this he saith unto us, "A little " while, and ye shall not see me: and again, 66 a little while, and ye shall see me:" and, "Because I go to the Father?" They said therefore, What is this that he saith, "A "little while?" We cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, "Do ye enquire 66 among yourselves of that I said, A little " while, and ye shall not see me: and again, 66 a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, "verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep " and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and 66 ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall " be turned into joy. A woman when she is " in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is * Your prejudices render you unfit to receive those truths which will be revealed to you hereafter through the Holy Spirit. ► In a short time I shall leave you by death, and in a short time return again, when the Father shall raise me up.

"And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I " will see you again, and your heart shall re"joice, and your joy no man taketh from you. "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked no"thing in my name: ask, and ye shall re"ceive, that your joy may be full. These 66 66 66 66 66 d things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: "but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye “ shall ask in myname: and I say not unto you, "that I will pray the Father for you: for the "Father himself loveth you, because ye have "loved me, and have believed that I came “out from God. I came forth from the Fa"ther, and am come into the world: again, I " leave the world, and go to the Father." His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, "Do ye now be*"lieve? behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now 66 come, that ye shall be scattered, every man * After my resurrection. ► As mediator betwixt God and man. • In parables and allusions. ▲ I need not tell you this, of which you may be assured. "to his own, and shall leave me alone: and "yet I am not alone, because the Father is " with me. These things I have spoken unto 66 you, that in me ye might have peace. In "the world ye shall have tribulation: but "be of good cheer; I have overcome the "world." 66 1 128. Jesus' Prayer. THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour " is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give " eternal life to as many as thou hast given "him. And this is life eternal, that they might "know thee the only true God, and Jesus 66 66 Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glori"fied thee on the earth: I have finished the "work which thou gavest me to do. And 66 66 now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with "thee before the world was. I have mani"fested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they " have kept thy word. Now they have known " that all things whatsoever thou hast given 66 66 me are of thee: for I have given unto them "the words which thou gavest me; and they " have kept thy word.
