'Spirit', whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all 27 that I said unto you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, (28 neither let it be 'fearful. Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced', because ĺ go unto the Father: for the Father 29 is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may be30 lieve. I will no more speak' much with you, for the prince of the world cometh and he hath nothing in me; 31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

15 1 I am the true vine, and my Father 2 is the husbandman. °Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth' it, that it may 3 bear more fruit. Already! ye are clean 'because of 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 vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye

5

are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same "beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye 6 can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and (7 they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask 'whatsoever1 ye will, and it shall be done

8 unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples. 9) Even as the Father hath loved me,

I also have loved you: 'abide ye in 10 my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's command*11 ments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that

Or, know ye

my joy may be in you, and that your 12 joy may be fulfilled. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. 13 °Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his 14 friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do

the things which I command you. (15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard 'from my Father I have made known 16 unto you. Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and 'appointed' you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should 1abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it 17 you. These things I command you, 18 that ye may love one another.

If

the world 'hateth' you, "ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world

(20 hateth you. Remember the word

that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word', they 21 will keep yours also. But all these

things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not 22 him that sent me. "If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin but now they have no ex23 cuse for their sin. He that hateth (24 me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated 25 both me and my Father. But this

cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, 26 They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall (27 bear witness of me: $and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

161 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be made to 2) stumble. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour' cometh, that whosoever killeth you 'shall think that he offereth' service unto God. (3 °And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor 4) me. But these things have I 'spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, 'how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you 'from the beginning, 5 because I was with you. But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have spoken' these things unto you, sorrow hath filled 7 your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away, the 1Comforter will not come unto you;but if I go, I will send him unto you. 8) And he, when he is come, will Iconvict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement: 9 of sin, because they believe not on 10 me; of righteousness, because I go

to the Father, and ye 'behold' me 11 no more; of judgement, because the prince of this world 'hath been' judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all 'the truth: for he shall not speak 'from' himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak and he 'shall declare unto you 'the things 14 that are' to come. "He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and 15 shall 'declare it unto you. All things Iwhatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare' it unto you. (16 °A little while, and ye 'behold' me 'no more; and again a little while, and ye 17) shall see me. Some of his disciples

therefore' said 'one to another', What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We (19) 'know not what he saith. Jesus 'per

ceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves 'concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye 'behold' me not, and again a little (20 while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the 22) world. And ye therefore now have

sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy 23) no one taketh 'away from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, 'If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he * 24 will give it you in my name. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled'.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly 26 of the Father. In that day ye shall

ask in my name and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for 27 you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came 'forth' from 28 the Father'. I came out from the

Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go 'unto *29 the Father. His disciples 'say', Lo,

now speakest thou plainly, and speak30 est no proverb. Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee by this we believe that thou 31 camest forth from God. Jesus an

swered them, Do ye now believe? (32 °Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the (33) Father is with me. These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye Imay have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

17(1 These things' spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, 'he' said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify 2) thee: leven as thou gavest him lauthority over all flesh, that 'whatsoever thou hast given him, to them' 3) he should give eternal life. And this is life eternal, that they 'should' know thee the only true God, and 'him' whom thou didst send, even Jesus (4 Christ. I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which 5 thou hast given me to do. °And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (6 I manifested thy name unto the men

whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have 7 kept thy word. Now they know

that all things whatsoever thou hast (8) given me are 'from thee: °for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and Iknew of a truth' that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou 9 didst send me. I pray for them: I 1pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they 10 are thine and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: (11 and I am glorified in them. And I am no more in the world, 'and' these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they (12 may be one, leven as we are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given' me: and I guarded them', and 'not one' of them perished', but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be *13) fulfilled. But now I come to thee;

and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled (14 in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, 15 even as I am not of the world. °I

And for their sakes I *sanctify myself, that they themselves! also may be sanctified in truth. 20) Neither for these 'only do I 1pray, but for them also 'that believe on me (21) through their word; that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us that the world may be22 lieve that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they (23 may be one, even as we are one; °I in them, and thou in me, that they may be 'perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst' them, even as thou *24) 'lovedst me. °Father, that which thou hast given me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25) °O righteous Father, the world 'knew

thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me: 26 and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it 'known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them. 181 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the "brook Kidron', where was a garden, into the which he entered, him2 self and his disciples. Now Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place for Jesus oft-times resorted 3 thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and 4 weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and 'saith unto them, 5 Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, was standing!

(8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these (9 go their way: that the word' might be fulfilled which he spake, Of 'those whom thou hast given me I lost 10 not one. Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and 'struck' the high priest's 'servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the 1servant's 11) name was Malchus. Jesus therefore' said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12

So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, (13 seized' Jesus and bound him, and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was high 14 priest that year. Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the 16) 'court of the high priest; but Peter

was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, (17) and brought in Peter. The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. 18 Now the servants and the officers Iwere standing there, having made

19

a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming! themselves: and Peter also was with them, 'standing! and warming' himself.

The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his 'teach20 ing. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues', and in the

temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I 21 nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard me, what I Ispake unto them: behold, thesel (22 know the things which I said. And when he had said this', one of the officers standing by struck Jesus 'with his hand, saying, Answerest thou 23 the high priest so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil but if well, why smitest (24 thou me? Annas 'therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

(25

Now Simon Peter was standing! and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, 26 I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being 'a' kinsman 'of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with 27 him? Peter 'therefore' denied again: and 'straightway the cock crew.

They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the palace: and it was early; and they themselves lentered not into the palace, that' they Imight not be defiled, but might eat 29 the passover. Pilate 'therefore went out unto them, and 'saith', What accusation bring 'yel against this man? 30 They answered and said unto him,

If this man were not an evil-doer', we should not have delivered him (31) up unto thee. Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him 'yourselves!, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world if my kingdom were of this world, then would my 1servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews but now is my kingdom *37 not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, "Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my 38) voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?

And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him. 39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto (40) you the King of the Jews? They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

191

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, 2 and scourged him. And the soldiers 'plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and 'arrayed' him 'in' a 3 purple garment'; and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews and they struck him with 4 their hands. And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him. 5) Jesus therefore' came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple Igarment'. And Pilate saith unto 6) them, Behold, the man! "When therefore the chief priests and 'the' officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves', and crucify him: for I find no 'crime in 7 him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the 8 Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more *9) afraid; and 'he entered' into the "pal

ace again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave 10) him no answer. "Pilate therefore! saith unto him, Speakest thou not

unto me? knowest thou not that I have "power to release thee, and have (11 power to crucify thee? Jesus answered him, Thou 'wouldest! have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee 12 hath greater sin. Upon this! Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou 'release this man, thou art not Cæsar's friend: levery one that maketh himself a (13 king speaketh against Cæsar. When Pilate therefore heard 'these words', he brought Jesus 'out', and sat down on the judgement-seat lat! a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, 14 Gabbatha. Now it was the Prepa

ration of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto 15 the Jews, Behold, your King! They

therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, 16) We have no king but Cæsar. Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

(17)

They took Jesus therefore1: and he went 'out', bearing 'the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in 18) Hebrew Golgotha: where they cru

cified him, and with him two others', on either side one, and Jesus in the 19 midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there' was written', JESUS OF NAZARETH, 20) THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title Itherefore read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and in' Latin, and 21) in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews: but, that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22 °Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from 24) the top throughout. They said there
