After hehadsaid this, Jesus was shaken inspirit, and bore witness, and said: Truly truly I tell you that one of you will betray me. The disciples looked at each other, wondering which was the one he spoke of. One of the disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close beside the breast of Jesus; so Simon Peter nodded to this man and said to him: Tell us which is the one of whom he is speaking. So this man leaned back so that he was close to the breast of Jesus and said to him: Lord, who is it? Jesus answered: It is the one for whom I will dip a crust and give it to him. So he took a crust and dipped it and gave it to Judas the son of Simon Iscariot. Then after the crust Satan entered into him. So then Jesus said to him: Do what you are doing quickly. But no one of those at dinner understood what he meant when he said this to him; for some thought, since Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him: Buy what we need for the festival; or, something to give the poor. But he took the crust and went out at once. Now it was night.
When he went out, Jesus said: Now the son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. And God will glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once. My children, I am with you still for a little while. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, where I go you will not be able to go, so I say it to you now, I give you a new commandment, to love each other, as I have loved you and as you do love each other. By this all will know that you are my disciples; if you have love for each other. Simon Peter said to him: Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered: Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later. Peter said to him: Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you. Jesus answered: You will lay down your life for me? Truly truly I tell you, the cock will not crow before you have disowned me three times.
G Let your hearts not be disturbed. Believe in God and believe in me. In my father's house there are many rooms.
Were there not, I would have said to you that I was going to make ready a place for you. And if I go, and make ready a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that where I am you may also be. And you know the way to where I ^ going. Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way? Jesus said to him: I ^ the way and the truth and the life. No one goes to the father except through me. If you had known me you would also have known my father. Now you know him and you have seen him. Philip said to him: Lord, show us the father, and that is enough for us. Jesus said to him: All this time I have been with you and you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the father. How can you say: Show us the father? Do you not believe that I am in the father and the father is in me? The words I speak to you I do not say for myself. But my father remaining in me does his works. Believe me that I am in my father and my father is in me. And if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly truly I tell you, he who believes in me will do, he also, the works that I do, and he will do greater ones than I do, because I am going to my father. And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, so that the father may be glorified in the son. If you ask for something in my name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask my father, and he will give you another comforter to be with you forever: The spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it does not see it or know it; but you know it, because it stays with you and is in you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. A little time and the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will know that I am in my father and you are in me and I in you. He who has my commandments and keeps them, this is the one who loves me; and the one who loves me shall be loved by my father, and I will love him and show myself to him. Judas (not the Iscariot) said to him: Lord, what has happened that you mean to show yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him: If anyone loves me, he will do as I say, and my father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him. He who does not love me will not do as I say; and what I say, which you hear, is not mine, but is from the father who sent me.
This I have said to you while I stay with you. But the comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name, he is the one who will teach you all and make you remember all I have said to you. I leave you peace, I give you my peace. I give it to you, not as the world gives it. Let your hearts not be disturbed or afraid. You have heard me say to you: I am going away and I will come back to you. If you loved me you would rejoice, because I am going to my father, because my father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens you will believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming; and he owns no part of me; but so that the world may know that I love my father, and as my father gave me his orders, thus I do. Rise up, let us go from here.
41 I am the true vine, and my father is the grower. Every branch which bears no fruit he takes off, and every one that does bear fruit he keeps clean so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean, because of the word I have spoken to you. Stay with me, as I with you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it stays on the vine, so cannot you unless you stay with me. I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who stays with me as I with him is the one who bears much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. If one does not stay with me, he is cast out like the branch, and dries up, and they gather these and throw them in the fire, and they burn. If you stay with me, and my sayings stay in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you. Herein is my father glorified, so that you may bear much fruit and be my disciples. As my father loves me, and I love you, stay in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will stay in my love, as I have kept the commandments of the father and stay in his love. This I have said to you so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love each other as I loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I tell you to. No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I call you friends, because I made known to you all that I heard from my father. You did not choose me, but I chose you, and I placed you where you may go and bear fruit, and your fruit may last, so that whatever you ask of the father in my name he may give you. This is my commandment to you, to love each other.
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the saying I gave you: The slave is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they hold to my word, they will hold to yours also. But all this they will do to you because of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no guilt; but now they have no excuse for their guiltiness. He who hates me hates my father also. If I had not done among them things that no one else has done, they would have no guilt; but now they have seen, and they have conceived hate both for me and for my father. But, to fulfill the word that is written in their law: They hated me, gratuitously. When the comforter comes, whom I will send you from my father, the spirit of truth who comes from my father, he will bear witness concerning me. Do you also bear witness, since you have been with me from the beginning.
