Section XLVII.

[1] ³²⁴⁸A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall [2] behold me; because I go to the Father.  ³²⁴⁹His disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he hath said unto us, A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall behold me:  and, I go to my [3] Father?  ³²⁵⁰And they said, What is this little while that he hath said?  We know not [4] what he speaketh.  ³²⁵¹And Jesus perceived that they were seeking to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said unto you, A little while, and ye behold me not, and a little while again, and ye shall [5] behold me?  ³²⁵²Verily, verily,³²⁵³ I say unto you, that ye shall weep and grieve, but the world shall rejoice:  and ye shall be sorrowful, but your grief shall turn³²⁵⁴ to joy.

[6] ³²⁵⁵For, a woman when the time is come for her that she should bring forth, the arrival of the day of her bringing forth distresseth her:  but whenever she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her distress, for joy at the birth of a man into the [7] world.  ³²⁵⁶And ye now also grieve:  but I shall see you, and your hearts shall rejoice, [8] [Arabic, p. 178] and your joy no man taketh from you.  ³²⁵⁷And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.  And verily, verily,³²⁵⁸ I say unto you, All that ye ask my Father in my name, he will give you.  ³²⁵⁹Hitherto ye have asked nothing [9] in my name:  ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

[10] ³²⁶⁰I have spoken unto you now in ænigmas:³²⁶¹  but there will come an hour when³²⁶² I shall not speak to you in ænigmas,³²⁶³ but shall reveal unto you the Father plainly, [11] in that day when³²⁶⁴ ye shall ask in my name:  ³²⁶⁵and I say not unto you, that I shall [12] entreat the Father for you; ³²⁶⁶for the Father loveth you, because ye have loved me, [13] and have believed that I came forth from my Father.  ³²⁶⁷I came forth from my Father, and came into the world:  and I leave the world, and go unto my Father.  [14] ³²⁶⁸His disciples said unto him, Lo, thy speech is now plain, and thou hast not said one [15] thing in an ænigma.  ³²⁶⁹Now, lo, we know that thou knowest everything, and needest not that any man should ask thee:  and by this we believe that thou camest forth [16, 17] from God.  ³²⁷⁰Jesus said unto them, Believe that an hour cometh, ³²⁷¹and lo, it hath come, and ye shall be scattered, every one of you to his place, and shall leave me [18] alone:  and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.  ³²⁷²This have I said unto you, that in me ye may have peace.  And in the world trouble shall overtake you:  but be of good courage; for I have overcome the world.

[19] ³²⁷³This said Jesus, and lifted up his eyes unto heaven, and said, My Father, the hour [20] is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee:  ³²⁷⁴as thou gavest him authority [21] over all flesh, that all that thou hast given him, he might give them³²⁷⁵ eternal life.  ³²⁷⁶And this is eternal life, that they should³²⁷⁷ know that thou alone art true God, and that he [22] [Arabic, p. 179] whom thou didst send is Jesus the Messiah.^{3278  3279}I glorified thee in the earth, [23] and the work which thou gavest me to do I have accomplished.  ³²⁸⁰And now glorify thou me, O Father, beside thee, with that glory which I had with thee [24] before the world was.  ³²⁸¹I made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world:  thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept [25, 26] thy word.  ³²⁸²Now they³²⁸³ know that all that thou hast given me is from thee:  ³²⁸⁴and the sayings which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.  [27] ³²⁸⁵And I ask for their sake:  and my asking is not for the world, but for those whom [28] thou hast given me; for they are thine:  ³²⁸⁶and all that is mine is thine, and all that is [29] thine is mine:  and I am glorified in them.  ³²⁸⁷And now I am not in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee.  My³²⁸⁸ holy Father, keep them in thy [30] name which thou hast given unto me, that they may be one, as we are.  ³²⁸⁹When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:  and I kept those whom thou gavest unto me:  and no man of them hath perished, but the son of perdition; that [31] the scripture might be fulfilled.  ³²⁹⁰Now I come to thee:  and this I say in the world, [32] that my joy may be complete in them.  ³²⁹¹I have given them thy word; and the world [33] hated them, because they were not of the world, as I was not of the world.  ³²⁹²And I ask not this, that thou take them from the world, but that thou keep them from the [34, 35] evil one.  ³²⁹³They were not of the world, as I was not of the world.  ³²⁹⁴O Father, sanctify [36] them in thy truth:  for thy word is truth.  ³²⁹⁵And as thou didst send me into the world, I [37] [Arabic, p. 180] also send them into the world.  ³²⁹⁶And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they [38] also may be sanctified in the truth.  ³²⁹⁷Neither for these alone do I ask, but for [39] the sake of them that believe in me through their word; ³²⁹⁸that they may be all one; as thou art in me, and I in thee, and so they also shall be one in us:  that the world [40] may believe that thou didst send me.  ³²⁹⁹And the glory which thou hast given unto [41] me I have given unto them; ³³⁰⁰that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect into³³⁰¹ one; and that the world may know that [42] thou didst send me, and that I³³⁰² loved them, as thou lovedst me.  ³³⁰³Father, and those whom thou hast given me, I wish that, where I am, they may be with me also; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me:  for thou lovedst me before [43] the foundation³³⁰⁴ of the world.  ³³⁰⁵My righteous Father,³³⁰⁶ and the world knew thee not, [44] but I know thee; and they knew that thou didst send me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known to them; ³³⁰⁷that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I shall³³⁰⁸ be in them.
