13 hearing that Jesus is coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! Blessed he, who is coming in the name of the Lord! The king 14 of Israel! Now Jesus having found a young ass, was riding

thereon, agreeably to what is written, "Fear not, daughter of Si15 on! behold thy king cometh mounted on an ass's colt.*" These 16 things his disciples did not understand at the time; but when

Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him; and that they had done them for 17 him. Now because the multitude who were with him testifi

ed that he had called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him 18 from the dead; and on this account the multitude met him, because they heard that he had done this miracle, therefore 19 the Pharisees said among themselves, You see that you gain no advantage. Behold the world is gone after him. 20 Now among them who came up to worship at the festival, 21 there were some Greeks. These therefore came to Philip,

who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, 22 We wish to see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. 23 And Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. Whereupon Jesus answer24 ed them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should

be glorified. Verily, verily I say to you, If the grain of wheat which falleth on the ground dieth not, it remaineth a single 25 grain. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He who loveth his life, will lose it: but he who slighteth his life in this world, shall keep it for an everlasting life. If any one would 26 wait upon me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall this attendant of mine also be. And if any one wait upon me 27 my Father will reward him. Now is my soul troubled. What

then? Shall I say, Father save me from this hour? But for this 28 cause I came to this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Thereupon a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I 29 will glorify it again." The multitude therefore who were stand30 ing by, when they heard it, said, it thundered. Others said,

An angel hath spoken to him, Jesus answered and said, This 31 voice hath not come for my sake, but for yours. Now is the

Zach. 9. 9.

32 judgment of this world. Now will the chieftain of this world be cast out. As for me, when I am lifted up from the ground, I will 33 draw all men to me. (Now this he said, signifying the death 34 he should soon die.) The multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law that "The Christ remaineth forever," How then dost thou say, That the son of man must be lifted 35 up? Who is this son of man? Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light that the darkness may not overtake you; for he who 36 walketh in darkness knoweth not where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be chil dren of light.

37 Having said this, Jesus withdrew, and was concealed from them. Now though he had performed so many miracles be38 fore them, they did not believe in him, so that the word of

the prophet Esaias was confirmed, which he spoke, Lord who hath believed our report, and to whom hath the arm of the 39 Lord been revealed?* It was because they were not enabled 40 to believe that in another place Esaias said, He hath blinded

their eyes, and stupified their hearts, so that they saw not with their eyes, nor understood with their heart, nor turned that 41 I might heal them.† This Esaias said when he saw his glory 42 and spake concerning him. Nevertheless when several of the

chiefs believed in him, but on account of the Pharisees did 43 not acknowledge it, that they might not be excommunicated, 44 (for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God)

therefore Jesus raised his voice and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not merely in me, but in him who sent me. 45 And he who beholdeth me, beholdeth him who sent me. I 46 being light am come into the world, that whoever believeth 47 in me may not remain in darkness. Now if any one hear my

words and believe not; it is not I who condemn him; for I did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world. 48 He who slighteth me and receiveth not my words, hath that

which condemneth him-the word which I have spoken49 that will condemn him at the last day. Because I have not

*Es. 53. 1. † Es. 6. 10. + See ch. 1. 9.

spoken from myself, but the father who sent me hath himself given me a command what I should enjoin, and what I 50 should speak, and I know that his commandment is everlasting life, therefore what I speak, I speak just as the father directed me.

XIII.

Now before this festival of the passover, as Jesus knew that his time was come that he should remove from this world to the father, having loved his own who were in the world, 2 he loved them to the last. When they were at supper (the 3 devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon to deliver him up,) Jesus knowing that the father 4 hath given all things into his hands, and that he had come forth from God, and is going to God, riseth from the supper and layeth aside his upper garments, and having taken a towel 5 and girded himself, he then poureth water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and wipe them with 6 the towel, with which he was girded. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. Whereupon Peter saith to him, Master, thou 7 wash my feet! Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou dost not comprehend at present, but thou shalt 8 know hereafter. Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee thou hast 9 no portion with me. Simon Peter saith to him; Master, not 10 my feet only, but also the hands and the head. Jesus saith to him, He who hath bathed needeth only to wash the feet, the rest of the body being clean. Now you are clean, but not all. 11 (For he knew him who was delivering him up, therefore he 12 said, You are not all clean.) So when he had washed their feet and put on his garments, having again taken his place at table, he said to them, Consider what I have done to you. 13 You call me The teacher and the master; and you say right, 14 for so I am. If I then, the master and the teacher, have wash15 ed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet; for I have

set you an example, that you may do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily I say to you, The servant is not greater than

his master; nor is a missionary greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, happy are you if you practise them. 18 I do not speak of you all. I know whom I have chosen. But

that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who is eating bread

19 with me hath lifted up his heel against me.* This I tell you

now before it happeneth, that when it cometh to pass you may 20 believe me to be what I am. Verily, verily I say to you, He who

receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he who re21 ceiveth me receiveth him who sent me. Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, Verily, verily I say 22 to you, that one of you is to deliver me up. Upon this his dis

ciples looked at one another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now one of the disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclined at 24 table next to Jesus. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him 25 to ask who it might be of whom he spake. Thereupon he, 26 bending back his head to Jesus breast, saith to him, Master,

who is it? Jesus answereth, It is he to whom I will give this morsel after I have dipped it. Then, having dipped the mor27 sel, he giveth it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And, after

the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus saith 28 to him, What thou dost, do quickly. Now none of them at table 29 knew for what purpose he said this to him. For some thought,

as Judas had the purse, that Jesus is saying to him, Buy what we have need of for the festival, or that he should give 30 something to the poor. He therefore, having received the mor31 sel, went out immediately. Now it was night. When he therefore was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the son of man glorified; 32 and God is glorified by him. If God be glorified by him, God will also glorify him in himself. Indeed without delay he will glorify him.

33

Children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, whither I am going you cannot 34 come, so I now say to you. A new commandment I give you,

that you love one another. As I have loved you, that you also 35 love one another. By this all men will know that you are my 36 disciples, if you exercise mutual love. Simon Peter saith to

him, Master, whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going thou canst not follow me now; but here37 after thou wilt follow me. Peter saith to him, Master, Why 38 cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

*Ps. 41. 9.

Jesus answered him, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, A cock will not crow till thou hast thrice denied me.

XIV. Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust 2 also in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions. If there were not, would I have said to you, I am going to pre3 pare a place for you? Now when I have gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that 4 where I am you may be also. Now you know whither I am 5 going and you know the way; Thomas saith to him, Master,

We do not know whither thou art going, how then can we 6 know the way? Jesus saith to him, I am the way and the truth 7 and the life. No one cometh to the father but by me. Had you

known me, you would have known my Father also. But hence8 forth you know him and have seen him. Philip saith to him, 9 Master shew us the Father, and it sufficeth. Jesus saith to him, Am I so long a time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He who hath seen me hath seen the Father: how 10 then sayest thou, Shew us the Father? Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you, I do not speak from myself. And it is 11 the Father himself abiding in me who doth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me. At least 12 believe me on account of the works themselves. Verily, verily, I say to you, He who believeth in me, even he shall do the 13 works which I do; nay, works greater than these he shall do,

because I am going to my Father, and whatever you ask in 14 my name, that I will do. That the Father may be glorified in 15 the Son, if you ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If you 16 love me keep my commandments, and I will ask the Father 17 and he will give you another monitor, that he may continue

with you forever, even the spirit of truth which the world cannot receive because it neither seeth him nor knoweth him. 18 But you know him, because he abideth with you and will be 19 in you. I will not leave you orphans. I am coming to you. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more; but you see me. 20 Because I live therefore you shall live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He who hath my commandments and keepeth them-he it is
