[1, 2] [Arabic, p. 170] ³⁰⁸⁶And one of his disciples was sitting³⁰⁸⁷ in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved.  ³⁰⁸⁸To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning [3] whom he spake.  ³⁰⁸⁹And that disciple leaned³⁰⁹⁰ on Jesus’ breast, and said unto him, [4] My Lord, who is this?  ³⁰⁹¹Jesus 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] ³⁰⁹²And after the bread, Satan entered him.  And Jesus said unto him, What thou [6] desirest to do, hasten the doing of it.  ³⁰⁹³And no man of them that sat knew why he [7] said this unto him.  ³⁰⁹⁴And 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.  ³⁰⁹⁵Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my [9] Master?  Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said.  ³⁰⁹⁶And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without:  and it was still night.

[10] ³⁰⁹⁷And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,³⁰⁹⁸ and God is being glorified³⁰⁹⁹ [11] in him; ³¹⁰⁰and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

[12] ³¹⁰¹And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; ³¹⁰²and he [13] gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body.  ³¹⁰³And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, ³¹⁰⁴and said, Take [14, 15] and drink of it, all of you.  ³¹⁰⁵And they drank of it, all of them.  ³¹⁰⁶And he said unto them, ³¹⁰⁷This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the [16] forgiveness of sins.  ³¹⁰⁸I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink³¹⁰⁹ with you new wine in the kingdom of [17] God.  ³¹¹⁰And thus do ye in remembrance of me.  ³¹¹¹And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, [18] behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat:  ³¹¹²but I entreat³¹¹³ for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:³¹¹⁴  and do thou, at some time, turn³¹¹⁵ and strengthen thy brethren.

[19] ³¹¹⁶My 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.  ³¹¹⁷A 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.  ³¹¹⁸By this shall every man know that ye are [22] my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  ³¹¹⁹Simon 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] ³¹²⁰Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert³¹²¹ me this night:³¹²²  it is written, I [24] will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.  ³¹²³But after my [25] rising, I shall go before you into Galilee.  ³¹²⁴Simon Cephas answered and said unto [26] him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee.  ³¹²⁵I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death.  ³¹²⁶And my life will I give up for thee.  [27] [Arabic, p. 172] ³¹²⁷Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me?  ³¹²⁸Verily, 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.  ³¹²⁹But Cephas said the more,³¹³⁰ Even if it lead to³¹³¹ death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord.  And in like manner said all the disciples also.

[29] ³¹³²Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:³¹³³  believe in God, [30] and believe in me.  ³¹³⁴The stations³¹³⁵ in my Father’s house are many, else I should [31] have told³¹³⁶ you.  I³¹³⁷ go to prepare for you a place.  ³¹³⁸And 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.  ³¹³⁹And 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.  ³¹⁴⁵And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father:  and from henceforth ye know³¹⁴⁶ him, [36] and have seen him.  ³¹⁴⁷Philip³¹⁴⁸ said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth [37] us.  ³¹⁴⁹Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know³¹⁵⁰ me, Philip?³¹⁵¹ whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest [38] thou, Shew us the Father?  ³¹⁵²Believest 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.  ³¹⁵³Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me:  [40] [Arabic, p. 173] or else believe for the sake of the deeds.  ³¹⁵⁴Verily, 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.  ³¹⁵⁵And what ye shall ask in my [42] name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.  ³¹⁵⁶And if ye [43, 44] ask me³¹⁵⁷ in my name, I will do it.  ³¹⁵⁸If ye love me, keep my commandments.  ³¹⁵⁹And 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:  ³¹⁶⁰whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him:  but ye know him; for he hath dwelt³¹⁶¹ [46] with you, and is in you.  ³¹⁶²I will not leave you orphans:  I will come unto you.  [47] ³¹⁶³Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye [48] shall live also.  ³¹⁶⁴And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
