Section XLV.

[1, 2] [Arabic, p. 170] [1]And one of his disciples was sitting[2] in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. [3]To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning whom he spake. [4]And that disciple leaned[5] on Jesus’ breast, and said unto him, My Lord, who is this? [6]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. [7]And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. [8]And no man of them that sat knew why he said this unto him. [9]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 pay something to the poor. [10]Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. [11]And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.

[12]And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,[13] and God is being glorified[13] in him; [14]and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

[15]And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; [16]and he gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. [17]And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, [18]and said, Take [14, 15] and drink of it, all of you. [19]And they drank of it, all of them. [20]And he said unto them, [21]This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. [22]I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink[23] with you new wine in the kingdom of God. [24]And thus do ye in remembrance of me. [25]And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: [26]but I entreat[27] for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:[28] and do thou, at some time, turn[29] and strengthen thy brethren.

[30]My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. [31]A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved you, so shall ye also love one another. [32]By this shall every man know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. [33]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.

[34]Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert[35] me this night:[36] it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. [37]But after my rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. [38]Simon Cephas answered and said unto him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. [39]I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. [40]And my life will I give up for thee. [Arabic, p. 172] [41]Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? [42]Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt to-day, during this night, before the cock crow twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. [43]But Cephas said the more,[44] Even if it lead to[45] death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.

[46]Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:[47] believe in God, and believe in me. [48]The stations[49] in my Father’s house are many, else I should have told[50] you. I[51] go to prepare for you a place. [52]And if I go to prepare for you a place, I shall return again, and take you unto me: and so where I am, there ye [32, 33] shall be also. [53]And the place that I go ye know,[54] and the way ye know.[54][55]Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for us to the knowledge of that?[56][57]Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. [58]And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know[59] him, and have seen him. [60]Philip[61] said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. [62]Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know[63] me, Philip?[61] whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest thou, Shew us the Father? [64]Believest thou not that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? and the saying that I say, I say not of myself: but my Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth these deeds. [65]Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me: [Arabic, p. 173] or else believe for the sake of the deeds. [66]Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also; and more than that shall he do: I go unto the Father. [67]And what ye shall ask in my name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. [68]And if ye [43, 44] ask me[69] in my name, I will do it. [70]If ye love me, keep my commandments. [71]And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: [72]whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him: but ye know him; for he hath dwelt[73] with you, and is in you. [74]I will not leave you orphans: I will come unto you. [75]Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye shall live also. [76]And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
