Section XLV.
(1, 2) [Arabic, p. 170] [3086] And one of his disciples was sitting [3087] in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. [3088] To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning (3) whom he spake. [3089] And that disciple leaned [3090] on Jesus' breast, and said unto him, (4) My Lord, who is this? [3091] 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. (5) [3092] And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou (6) desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. [3093] And no man of them that sat knew why he (7) said this unto him. [3094] 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 (8) something to the poor. [3095] Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my (9) Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. [3096] And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.
(10) [3097] And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified, [3098] and God is being glorified [3099] (11) in him; [3100] and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.
(12) [3101] And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; [3102] and he (13) gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. [3103] And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, [3104] and said, Take (14, 15) and drink of it, all of you. [3105] And they drank of it, all of them. [3106] And he said unto them, [3107] This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the (16) forgiveness of sins. [3108] I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink [3109] with you new wine in the kingdom of (17) God. [3110] And thus do ye in remembrance of me. [3111] And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, (18) behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: [3112] but I entreat [3113] for thee, that thou lose not thy faith: [3114] and do thou, at some time, turn [3115] and strengthen thy brethren.
(19) [3116] My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me: and as (20) I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. [3117] A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved (21) you, so shall ye also love one another. [3118] By this shall every man know that ye are (22) my disciples, if ye have love one to another. [3119] 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.
(23) [3120] Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert [3121] me this night: [3122] it is written, I (24) will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. [3123] But after my (25) rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. [3124] Simon Cephas answered and said unto (26) him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. [3125] I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. [3126] And my life will I give up for thee. (27) [Arabic, p. 172] [3127] Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? [3128] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt to-day, during this night, before the cock crow (28) twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. [3129] But Cephas said the more, [3130] Even if it lead to [3131] death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.
(29) [3132] Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled: [3133] believe in God, (30) and believe in me. [3134] The stations [3135] in my Father's house are many, else I should (31) have told [3136] you. I [3137] go to prepare for you a place. [3138] 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. [3139] And the place that I go ye know, [3140] and the way ye know. [3141] [3142] Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for (34) us to the knowledge of that? [3143] [3144] Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, (35) and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. [3145] And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know [3146] him, (36) and have seen him. [3147] Philip [3148] said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth (37) us. [3149] Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know [3150] me, Philip? [3151] whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest (38) thou, Shew us the Father? [3152] 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 (39) me, he doeth these deeds. [3153] Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me: (40) [Arabic, p. 173] or else believe for the sake of the deeds. [3154] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also; and (41) more than that shall he do: I go unto the Father. [3155] And what ye shall ask in my (42) name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. [3156] And if ye (43, 44) ask me [3157] in my name, I will do it. [3158] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [3159] And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he (45) may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: [3160] whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him: but ye know him; for he hath dwelt [3161] (46) with you, and is in you. [3162] I will not leave you orphans: I will come unto you. (47) [3163] Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye (48) shall live also. [3164] And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
