Section XLVI.

[1] ³¹⁶⁵Whosoever hath my commandments, 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 [2] shew myself unto him.  ³¹⁶⁶Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, My Lord, what is the [3] purpose of thy intention to shew thyself to us, and not to the world?  ³¹⁶⁷Jesus answered and said unto him, Whosoever loveth me will keep my word:  and my Father will love him, and to him will we come, and make our³¹⁶⁸ abode with him.  [4] ³¹⁶⁹But he that loveth me not keepeth not my word:  and this word that ye hear is not my word, but the Father’s which sent me.

[5, 6] ³¹⁷⁰This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you.  ³¹⁷¹But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything, and [7] [Arabic, p. 174] he will bring to your remembrance all that I say unto you.  ³¹⁷²Peace I leave you; my peace I give unto you:  and not as this world giveth, give I unto you.  [8] ³¹⁷³Let your heart not be troubled,³¹⁷⁴ nor fearful.  Ye heard that I said unto you, that I go away, and come unto you.  If³¹⁷⁵ ye loved me, ye would rejoice, that I go away to my [9] Father:  for my Father is greater than I.  ³¹⁷⁶And now I say unto you before it come [10] to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe me.  ³¹⁷⁷Now I will not speak with you much:  the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in [11] me:  ³¹⁷⁸but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.

[12] ³¹⁷⁹And he said unto them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes,³¹⁸⁰ [13] lacked ye perchance anything?  They said unto him, Nothing.  ³¹⁸¹He said unto them, Henceforth, whosoever hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise the wallet also:  and whosoever hath not a sword, shall sell his garment, and buy for himself a [14] sword.  ³¹⁸²I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned³¹⁸³ with the transgressors:  for all that is said of me is fulfilled in [15] me.  ³¹⁸⁴His disciples said unto him, Our Lord, lo, here are two swords.  He said [16] unto them, They are sufficient.  ³¹⁸⁵Arise, let us go hence.  And they arose, and praised, and went forth, and went, according to their custom, to the mount of Olives, he and his disciples.

[17] ³¹⁸⁶And he said unto them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.  [18] ³¹⁸⁷Every branch that produceth not fruit in me, he taketh it:  and that which giveth fruit, [19] he cleanseth it, that it may give much fruit.  ³¹⁸⁸Ye are already clean because of the word [20] that I have spoken unto you.  ³¹⁸⁹Abide in me, and I in you.  And as the branch of the [Arabic, p. 175] vine cannot produce fruit of itself, if it be not abiding in the vine; so too ye [21] also, if ye abide not in me.  ³¹⁹⁰I am the vine, and ye are the branches:  He then that abideth in me, and I in him, he giveth much fruit:  for without me ye cannot [22] do anything.  ³¹⁹¹And if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, like a withered [23] branch; and it is gathered, and cast³¹⁹² into the fire, that it may be burned.  ³¹⁹³If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, everything that ye desire to ask shall be [24] done unto you.  ³¹⁹⁴And herein is the Father glorified, that ye may give much fruit; [25] and ye shall be my disciples.  ³¹⁹⁵And as my Father loved me, I loved you also:  [26] abide in my love.  ³¹⁹⁶If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love; as I have [27] kept my Father’s commands, and abode in his love.  ³¹⁹⁷I have spoken that unto you, [28] that my joy³¹⁹⁸ may be in you, and your joy³¹⁹⁹ be fulfilled.  ³²⁰⁰This is my commandment, [29] that ye love one another, as I loved you.  ³²⁰¹And no love is greater than this, namely, [30] that a man should give his life for his friends.  ³²⁰²Ye are my friends, if ye do all that [31] I command you.  ³²⁰³I call you not now servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:  my friends have I now called you; for everything that I heard from [32] my Father I have made known unto you.  ³²⁰⁴Ye did not choose³²⁰⁵ me, but I chose I you, and appointed you, that ye also should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should³²⁰⁶ [33] abide; and that all that ye shall ask my Father in my name, he may³²⁰⁷ give you.  ³²⁰⁸This [34] I command³²⁰⁹ you, that ye love one another.  ³²¹⁰And if the world hate you, know that [35] before you it hated me.  ³²¹¹If then ye were of the world, the world would love its own:  but ye are not of the world:  I chose you out of the world:  therefore the world [36] [Arabic, p. 176] hateth you.  ³²¹²Remember the word that I said unto you, that no servant is greater than his lord.  And if they persecuted³²¹³ me, you also will they [37] persecute;³²¹⁴ and if they kept my word, your word also will they keep.  ³²¹⁵But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, for they have not known³²¹⁶ him [38] that sent me.  ³²¹⁷And if I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:  [39] but now they have no excuse for their sins.  ³²¹⁸Whosoever hateth me, also hateth my [40] Father.  ³²¹⁹And if I had not done the deeds before them that no other man did, they would not have had sin:  but now they have seen and hated me and my Father [41] also:  that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, ³²²⁰They hated me for [42] nothing.  ³²²¹But when the Paraclete is come, whom I will send unto you from my Father, even the Spirit of truth, which goeth forth from my Father, he shall bear witness of [43] me:  ³²²²and ye also bear witness, because from the beginning ye have been with me.

[44, 45] ³²²³I have said that unto you, that ye may not stumble.^{3224  3225}And they shall put you out of their synagogues:  and there cometh an³²²⁶ hour when every one that killeth [46] you shall think that he hath offered unto God an offering.  ³²²⁷And they will do that, [47] because they do not know me, nor my Father.  ³²²⁸I have said that unto you, so that [48] when its time is come, ye may remember it, that I told you.  ³²²⁹And this hitherto I said not unto you, because I was with you.  But³²³⁰ now I go unto him that sent me; and no [49] man of you asketh me whither I go.  ³²³¹I have said that unto you now, and grief hath [50] come and taken possession of your hearts   ³²³²But I say the truth unto you; It is better³²³³ for you that I go away:  for if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come unto you; [51] [Arabic, p. 177] but if I go away, I will send him unto you.  ³²³⁴And when he cometh, he will reprove the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgement:  [52, 53] for sin, ³²³⁵because they have not believed in me; ³²³⁶and for righteousness, because I go [54] to my Father; ³²³⁷and for judgement, because³²³⁸ the Archon of this world hath been [55] judged.  ³²³⁹And further have I many things to speak unto you, but ye cannot tarry³²⁴⁰ [56] now.  ³²⁴¹Howbeit³²⁴² when the Spirit of truth is come, he will remind³²⁴³ you of all the truth:  he will say nothing from himself; but everything that he heareth, that shall [57] he say:  and he shall make known unto you the things that are to be.  ³²⁴⁴And he shall [58] glorify me; for from me shall he take and shew you.  ³²⁴⁵All that my Father hath is mine:  therefore said I unto you, that he taketh³²⁴⁶ of mine, and shall shew³²⁴⁷ you.
