deed be glad, because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it shall come to pass ye may believe. I will not now speak many things with you; for the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not anything. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I. Arise, let us go hence.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he will take away; and every branch that beareth fruit he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean by reason of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, so neither can ye unless ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they gather him up and cast him into the fire, and he is burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. In this is my Father glorified, that ye bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might be in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do the things that I command you. I will not now call you servants, for the servant know

eth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends, because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have appointed you that ye should go and should bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name he may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know ye 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. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute 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 to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without cause (Ps. xxiv. 19).

But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. And And ye shall give testimony, because ye are with me from the beginning.

These things have I spoken to you, that ye may not be offended. They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And

these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father nor me. But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go, for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment. Of sin, because they believed not in me. And of justice, because I go to the Father; and ye shall see me no longer. And of judgment, because the prince of this world is already judged. I have yet many things to say to you; but ye cannot bear them now. But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what soever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he shall show you things that are to come. He shall

glorify me, because he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto 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.

Then some of his disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while and ye shall not see me; and again 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 know not what he speaketh. And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him, and he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of this that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me?

Amen, amen I say to you, that ye shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. So also ye now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man shall take from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Amen, amen I say to you, if ye ask the Father anything in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will show you plainly of the Father. In that day ye shall ask in my name, and I say not unto you, that I will ask 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 Father, and am come into the world; again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.

His disciples say to him, Behold now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now we are 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 believe? Behold the hour cometh, yea is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man 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 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.

SECT. CXXI. OUR LORD'S INTERCESSORY PRAYER.

The guest

chamber.

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 Christ whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work that thou gavest me to do. And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory that I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given 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 which thou hast given me are from thee; because the words that thou gavest me I have given to them, and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me, because they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name them that thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we also are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world,
