29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, faid that it thundered: others faid, An angel fpake to him.

30 Jefus anfwered and faid, This voice came not because of me, but for your fakes.

31 Now is the judgment of this world; now fhall the prince of this world be caft

out.

32 And I. if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

35 This he faid, fignifying what death he should die.

34 The people anfwered him, We have heard out of the law that Chrift abideth for ever: and, How fayeft thou, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man ?

49 For I have not spoken of my felf: but the Father which fent me, he gave me a commandment, what I fhould fay, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlafting: what foever I fpeak therefore, even as the Father faid unto me, fo I fpeak.

CHAP. XIII,

Jefus wafbeth his difciples feet, and exborteth them to humility and charity. 86 He forewarneth Peter of bis denial, NOW before the feaft of the pallover, when Jefus knew that his hour was come that he fhould depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

35 Then Jefus faid unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, left darkness) 2 And fupper being ended, the devil come upon you: for he that walketh in having now put into the heart of Judas darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

Thele things fpake Jefus, and he was come from God, and went to departed, and did hide himself from God them.

39 Therefore they could not believe, becaufe that Efaias faid again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not fee with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I thould heal them.

41 Thefe things faid Efais, when he faw his glory, and spake of him.

42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers alfo many believed on him; but becaufe of the Pharifees they did not confefs him, left they should be put out of the fynagogue :

43 For they loved the praife of men more than the praife of God.

44 Jefus cried and faid, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that fent me.

45 And he that feeth me, feeth him that fent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whofoever believeth on me fhould not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for came not to judge the world, but to fave the world.

48 He that rejeeth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth

6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter faid unto him, Lord, Doft thou wash my feet?

7 Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, What I do thou knoweft not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

8 Peter faith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jefus anfwered him, If I wafh thee not, thou hast no part with me.

9 Simon Peter faith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jefus faith to him, He that is washed needeth not fave to wash bis feet, but is clean every whit and ye are clean, but not all.

11 For he knew who fhould betray him; therefore faid he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was fet down again, he faid unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye call me Mafter and Lord and ye fay well; for so I am.

14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye alfo ought to walh one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that ye fhould do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I fay unto you, The fervant is not greater than his lord;

22 Then the difciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Jefus's bofom one of his difciples, whom Jefus loved.

24 Simon Pever therefore beckoned to him, that he bould ask who it should be of whom he spoke.

25 ife then lying on Jefus's breaft faith unto him, Lord, Who is it?

26 Jefus anfwered, He it is, to whom I fhall give a fop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the fop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the fun of Simon.

27 And after the fop, Satan entered into him. Then faid Jefus unto him, That thou doeft, do quickly,

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas faith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goeft; and, How can we know the way ?

19 Yet a little while, and the world feeth me no more: but ye see me : because I live, ye thall live alfo.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commanda.ents, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifeft myself to him.

Judas faith unto him, (not Ifcariot) Lord, How is it that thou wilt manifell thy felf unto us, and not unto the world

23 Jefus answered, and faid unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not, keepeth not my fayings and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which fent me.

25 These things have I fpoken unto you, being yet prefent with you.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is caft forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and caft them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye fhall afk what ye will, and it thall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; fo fhall ye be my difciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, fo have I loved you continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye fhall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 Thefe things have I fpoken unto you that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatfoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not fervants;

CHAP. XV.

The mutual love between Chrift and bis members, under the parable of the vine. I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 i am the vine, ye are the branches

51

16 Ye have not chofen me, but I have chofen you, and ordained you, that ye fhould go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit fhould remain: that whatfoever ye fhall afk of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 Thefe things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chofen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unte you, The fervant is not greater than his ford. If they have perfecuted me, they will alfo perfecute you; if they have kept my faying, they will keep your's alfo.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's fake, because they know not him that fent me.

22 If I had not come and fpoken unto them, they had not had fin but now they have no cloak for their fin. 23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father alfo.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had fin: but now have they both feen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word

Cbrift comforteth his difciples against tribulation, by the promife of the Holy Ghost. THESE things have I fpoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

19 Now Jefus knew that they were defirous to afk him, and faid unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that faid, A little while, and ye shall not fee me and again a little while, and ye fhall fee me?

4 But these things have I told you, that when the time thall come, ye may remember that i told you of them. And these things I faid not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

But now I go my way to him that fent me; and none of you afketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have faid these things unto you, forrow hath filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will fend him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of fin, and of righteoufnefs, and of judgment:

23 And in that day ye shall afsk me nothing. Verily, verily, I fay unto you, Whatsoever ye fhall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

24 Hitherto have ye afked nothing in my name: afk, and ye thall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 Thefe things have I fpoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I fhall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall few you plainly of the Father.

THESE words fpake Jefus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and faid, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou haft given him power over all flesh, that he thould give eternal life to as many as thou haft given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jefus Chrift, whom thou haft fent.

18 And now come I to thee; and thefe things I fpeak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharifees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Jefus therefore knowing all things that thould come upon him, went forth, and faid unto them, Whom feek ye?

5 They answered him, Jefus of Nazareth. Jefus faith unto them, I am be. And Judas alfo, which betrayed him, food with them.
