John 13:21-16:33 After uttering these words, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ After uttering these words, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray me. ²² Then the disciples looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ Now one of his disciples, one whom Jesus loved, was lying close to his breast: ²⁴ Simon Peter, therefore, made a sign to him, to inquire whom he meant. ²⁵ He, then, reclining on Jesus' bosom, said to him, Master, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel, after I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ After receiving the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. ²⁸ But none at the table knew, why he gave this order. ²⁹ Some imagined, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had signified to him to buy necessaries for the festival; or, to give something to the poor. ³⁰ When Judas had taken the morsel, he immediately went out: and it was night. ³¹ When he was gone, Jesus said, the Son of Man is now glorified, and God is glorified by him. ³² If God is glorified by him, God also will glorify him by himself, and that without delay. ³³ My children, I have now but a little time to be with you. You will seek me, and what I said to the Jews, Whither I go, you can not come; I say at present to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; that as I have loved you, you also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know, that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another. ³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Master, whither are you going? Jesus answered, Whither I am going, you can not follow me now; but afterward you shall follow me. ³⁷ Peter replied, Master, why can not I follow you presently? I will lay down my life for your sake! ³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the cock shall not crow, till you have disowned me thrice. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled; believe on God, and believe on me. ² In my Father's house are many mansions. Were it otherwise, I would have told you. ³ I go to prepare a place for you: and after I shall have gone, and prepared a place for you; I will return and take you with me, that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And whither I am going, you know, and the way you know. ⁵ Thomas said to him, Master, we know not whither you are going. How, then, can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me. ⁷ Had you known me, you would have known my Father also; and henceforth you know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us. ⁹ Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and do you not yet know me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father. How do you say, then, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you proceed not form myself: as to the works, it is the Father dwelling in me who does them. ¹¹ Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; if not on my testimony, be convinced by the works themselves. ¹² Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay, even greater than these shall he do; because I go to my Father, ¹³ and will do whatsoever you shall ask in my name. That the Father may be glorified in the Son, ¹⁴ whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do. ¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments; ¹⁶ and I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to continue with you forever; ¹⁷ even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him, nor knows him; but you shall know him, because he will abide with you, and be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you forlorn; I will return to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more; but you shall see me; because I live, you also shall live. ²⁰ On that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me; and I in you. ²¹ He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Master, wherefore will you manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answering, said to him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will love him; and we will come to him, and dwell with him. ²⁴ He who loves me not, disregards my words; yet the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me. ²⁵ I tell you these things, while I remain with you. ²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you. ²⁷ Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated. ²⁸ You have heard me say, I go away, and will return to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ This I tell you now, before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe. ³⁰ I shall not, henceforth, have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing in me; ³¹ but this must be that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commands me. Arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. ² Every barren branch in me, he lops off; every fruitful branch he cleans by pruning, to render it more fruitful. ³ As for you, you are already clean, through the instructions I have given you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I will abide in you; as the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in me, and in whom I abide, produces much fruit; for, severed from me, you can do nothing. ⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast forth like withered branches, which are gathered for fuel, and burnt. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you may ask what you will, and it shall be granted you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that you produce much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father loves me, so do I love you: continue in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love. ¹¹ I give you these admonitions, that I may continue to have joy in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I love you. ¹³ No man has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his master will do: but I name you friends; for whatever I have learned from my Father, I impart to you. ¹⁶ It is not you who have chosen me; but it is I who have chosen you, and ordained you to go and bear fruit: fruit which will prove permanent, that the Father may give you whatsoever you shall ask him in my name. ¹⁷ This I command you, that you love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, consider that it hated me, before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, I having selected you from the world, the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember what I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. ²¹ But all this treatment they will give you on my account, because they know not him who sent me. ²² If I had not come, and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hates me, hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them such works as none other ever did, they had not had sin; but now they have seen them, and yet hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ Thus they verify that passage in their law, "They hated me without cause." ²⁶ But when the Advocate is come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify concerning me. ²⁷ And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things I tell you, that you may not be discouraged. ² They will expel you from the synagogue; nay, the time is coming, when, whosoever kills you, will think he offers sacrifice to God. ³ And these things they will do, because they know not the Father nor me. ⁴ Of these things I warn you now, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I mentioned them to you. I did not, indeed, mention them at the beginning, because I was with you myself. ⁵ And now I go away to him who sent me; yet none of you ask me, Whither do you go? ⁶ But because of those things which I have foretold you, you are overwhelmed with grief. ⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is for your good that I depart; for if I do not depart, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go away, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, because they believe not on me; ¹⁰ concerning righteousness because I go to my Father, and you see me no longer; ¹¹ concerning judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have many things still to tell you, but you can not yet bear them. ¹³ But when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will conduct you into all the truth: for his words will not proceed from himself: but whatsoever he shall have heard, he will speak, and show you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me: for he will take of mine and communicate to you. ¹⁵ Whatsoever is the Father's, is mine; therefore, I say that he will take of mine to communicate to you. ¹⁶ A little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me; because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ Some of the disciples said among themselves, What does he mean by this; a little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me; because I go to the Father? ¹⁸ What means this little while, of which he speaks? We do not comprehend it. ¹⁹ Jesus perceiving that they were desirous to ask him, said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves about this that I said, A little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me? ²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come. But when her son is born, she remembers her anguish no longer; for joy that she has brought a man into the world. ²² So, you, at present, are in grief; but I will visit you again, and your hearts shall be joyful, and none shall rob you of your joy. ²³ On that day, you will put no questions to me. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father, in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in figures: the time approaches when I shall no more discourse to you in figures, but instruct you plainly concerning the Father. ²⁶ The you will ask in my name, and I say not, that I will entreat the Father for you: ²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and believed that I came from God. ²⁸ From the presence of the Father I cam into the world. Again, I leave the world, and return to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples replied, Now, indeed, you speak plainly, and without a figure. ³⁰ Now we are convinced that you know all things, and need not that any should put questions to you. By this we believe that you came forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered, Do you now believe? ³² Behold, the time comes, or rather is come, when you shall disperse, every one to his own, and shall leave me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world.
