John 13:21-16:33 When Jesus utter'd these words, he was troubled in spirit, and said without disguise, I assure you, that one of you shall betray me.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ When Jesus utter'd these words, he was troubled in spirit, and said without disguise, I assure you, that one of you shall betray me. ²² then the disciples looked one on another, being in pain to know who he meant. ²³ now the favourite disciple of Jesus sat next to him at table. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, to ask who it was he meant. ²⁵ then accordingly bending his head to Jesus's ear, he whisper'd, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have made it. and when he had made the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ and after he had taken the sop, Satan entred into him. then said Jesus to him, what you do, do quickly. ²⁸ but the company at table did not know what he meant by saying so. ²⁹ for as Judas had the purse, some of them thought, that Jesus had ordered him to buy what was necessary against the feast: or give something to the poor. ³⁰ Judas then having received the sop, immediately went out: and it was night. ³¹ When he was gone, Jesus said, now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him. ³² as God is glorified by him, so God will glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him. ³³ my dear children, I am with you but for a little while. you shall seek me: but as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, "where I am going you cannot come." ³⁴ a new commandment I give unto you, "that ye love one another; that you would have the same love for one another as I have had for you." ³⁵ by this mutual love shall all men know that you are my disciples. ³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, you cannot at present follow me, where I am going; but hereafter you shall. ³⁷ Peter said to him, Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake. ³⁸ Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled: you trust in God, trust also in me. ² in my father's house are many mansions; however, I have told you, I am going to prepare a place for you: ³ and when I am gone, and have prepar'd a place for you, I will come again, to take you with me, that where I am there ye may be also. ⁴ and where I am going you know, and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas said to him, Lord, we know not whither you are going, how then can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man can come to the father, but by me. ⁷ if you had known me, you would likewise have known my father: and from henceforth you shall know him, nay, you have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him, Lord shew us the father, and we are satisfied. ⁹ Jesus said to him, have I been with you so long, and don't you know me yet? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father; why then do you say, shew us the father? ¹⁰ don't you believe that I am in the father, and the father in me? the words that I speak unto you, I speak indeed, tho' not from my self; but as to the works, the father, who dwells in me, he is the agent. ¹¹ believe me, I am in the father, and the father in me: at least believe me upon account of the very works. ¹² I assure you, he that believeth on me, shall likewise perform the works that I do; nay, greater works than these shall he do; because for that end am I going to my father. ¹³ and if in my name ye shall ask any thing of the father, whereby he may be glorified by the son, I will effect it. ¹⁴ when ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ if ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ and I will pray the father, and he shall give you another advocate, to abide with you for ever; ¹⁷ even the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees nor knows him: but ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I will come again to you. ¹⁹ yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also. ²⁰ then shall you know, that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ he that hath received my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me, shall be beloved by my father, and I will love him, and shew my self unto him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, why Lord, will you show your self to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered him, he that loves me, will observe my precepts: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me. ²⁵ this is what I have to tell you, for the little time that I am with you. ²⁶ but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you. ²⁷ I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves. ²⁸ ye have heard me say, "I am going away, and shall come again unto you." if ye loved me, ye would rejoice at my going to the father: for the father is greater than I. ²⁹ this I have told you now, before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. my conversation will now be but short with you, ³⁰ for the prince of the world is coming: ³¹ not that he has any thing against me, but that the world may know that I love the father, by my executing the commands which my father gave me: arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the genuine vine, and my father is the vintager. ² every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he takes away: as for the branch that bears fruit, he prunes it clean, to make it more fruitful. ³ you are already clean by the instructions I have given you. ⁴ be attach'd to me, and I shall be so to you. as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, except it be attach'd to the vine: so neither can you, except you continue attach'd to me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for independent of me ye can do nothing. ⁶ if a man abide not in me, he is cast away as withered branches that are gather'd up to be thrown into the fire, where they are burned. ⁷ if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and you shall obtain it. ⁸ my father will be honour'd by your bearing much fruit, and you will have the honour of being my disciples. ⁹ as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me. ¹⁰ your love to me will be in keeping my commandments: even as I love my father by keeping his commandments. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat. ¹² this is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ you will be my friends, if you do what I have commanded you. ¹⁵ henceforth I do not treat you as servants; for the servant is unacquainted with his master's affairs: but I have treated you as friends; for what I have learnt of my father, I have communicated to you. ¹⁶ it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you. ¹⁷ Above all I enjoin you, to 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, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you. ²⁰ remember what I told you, "the servant is not greater than his master." if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have been spies upon my discourse, they will be so upon yours. ²¹ but all these things will they do unto you, out of hatred to my name, because they know not him that sent me. ²² if I had not appear'd, and inform'd them, they would have been innocent: but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ he that hateth me, hateth my father also. ²⁴ if I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had been innocent: but though they have seen them, yet they hate both me and my father. ²⁵ so that the passage is fulfilled that is written in their law, "they hated me without a cause." ²⁶ but when the advocate is come, whom I will send to you from the father, even the spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the father, he shall testify of me. ²⁷ and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ I have told you these things that ye may not be discouraged. ² they shall expel you out of the synagogues: yea, the time is coming, when it will be thought an agreeable sacrifice to God for any one to take away your lives. ³ and thus will they treat you, because they have not known the father, nor me. ⁴ but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you. ⁵ but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going? ⁶ are your minds so overwhelm'd with sorrow at what I told you? ⁷ nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. ⁸ and when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, of justice, of judgment: ⁹ of sin, because they believ'd not on me; ¹⁰ of justice, because I shall be with my father, and ye shall see me no more expos'd: ¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is condemn'd. ¹² I have yet many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them now; ¹³ but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come. ¹⁴ he shall glorify me: for he will commuincate to you, the information, which I shall give him. ¹⁵ all that the father has is mine: that is the reason of my saying, "he shall communicate to you the information that I shall give him." ¹⁶ Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father. ¹⁷ then said some of his disciples among themselves, what is the meaning of his saying, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father?" ¹⁸ for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?" ¹⁹ now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?" ²⁰ 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, is afflicted at the approach of her pains: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, the remembrance of her anguish, is lost in her joy, that a man is born into the world. ²² so you are afflicted at present: but I will see you again, and then shall your hearts be affected with joy, and your joy shall no one wrest from you. ²³ tho' then you cannot ask any thing of me in person, whatever ye shall ask the father in my name, I assure you he will grant it. ²⁴ hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be compleat. ²⁵ These things have I express'd in a figurative way: the time is coming when my language will be no longer enigmatical, but I shall give you a plain account relating to my father. ²⁶ though then ye shall ask in my name: I need not promise, that I will pray the father for you; ²⁷ for the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I had my mission from God. ²⁸ I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father. ²⁹ His disciples said to him, what you say now is plain, and not enigmatical. ³⁰ now we are convinc'd that you know all our difficulties, and have no occasion that any man should propose them to you: by this we believe that you were sent from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, you now believe. ³² but, alas, the time is coming, yea, is already come, when ye shall be dispers'd every one to his own retreat, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the father is with me. ³³ these things I have appriz'd you of, that ye might repose your confidence in me. the world shall give you trouble: but take courage, I have overcome the world.
