If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.. 23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also... 24 If I had not done among them. the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen, and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is fye keep my command-come, whom I will send unto you , ye shall abide in my love; from the Father, even the Spirit of s I have kept my Father's truth, which proceedeth from the andments, and abide in his Father, he shall testify of me. 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. CHAP. XVI. The Holy Ghost promised. THESE things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I told 109 A promise of the Spirit. JOHN, you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And those things I said not unto you at the beginning because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that Igo away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the worid of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 Ho shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me and, Because I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. The disciples encouraged. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but i shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father and am come into the world: again. I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do re now believe? 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yes. is now come, that ye shall be seattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 These things I have spokes unto you, that in me ye migh have peace. In the world y shall have tribulation, but be good cheer: I have overcome t world. CHAP. XVII. 19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and Christ prayeth for his Apostles again, a little while, and ye shall lifted up his eyes to heaves shallHESE words spake Jesus, a see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, and said, Father, the hour is cons that ye shall weep and lament, glorify thy Son, that thy Son al it the world shall rejoice: and may glorify thee: shall be sorrowful, but your ow shall be turned into joy. 110 2 As thou hast given him pow over all flesh, that he should give wist fervently prayeth CHAP.

CHAP. XVIII. these words, he went forth WHEN Jesus had spoken with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. 2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8 Jesus answered. I have told you that I am he. If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them 111 Peter deneth Christ.

The servant's name was high priest being his kinsma Malchus whose ear Peter cut off saith, Di pot I see thee in the garden wit him 3 11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up toy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Pather hath given me, shall I not drink it? 12 Then the band, and the captain, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 13 And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.) 14 Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus, into the palace of the high priest. 16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. 18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself. 19 T The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Peter then denied again: immediately the cock crew. 28 Then led they Jesus fro Caiaphas unto the ball of podemen and it was early; and they them selves went not into the judgmen hall, lest they should be defiled but that they might eat the par over. 29 Pilate then went out them, and said, What acce bring ye against this man? 30 They answered and said him. If he were not a malefactr we would not have delivered in up unto thee. 31 Then said Pilate unto them. Take ye him, and judge him 2 cording to your law. The Jew therefore said unto him, It is lawful for us to put any man death: 32 That the saying of Jess might be fulfilled, which he spake signifying what death be shou die. 33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and can Jesus, and said unto him, Art that the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered him, Saye thou this thing of thyself, or d others tell it thee of me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jes Thine own nation, and the ch priests, have delivered thee u me. What hast thou done? 20 Jesus answered him, I spake 36 Jesus answered, My kingés openly to the world; I ever taught is not of this world: if my kingen in the synagogue, and in the tem- were of this world, then wo ple, whither the Jews always re- my servants fight, that I sho sort; and in secret have I said no-not be delivered to the Jews thing. now is my kingdom not f hence. 21 Why nskest thou me 3 ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil but if well, why smitest thou me? 24 (Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest) 25 And Simon Peter stood and 112 37 Pilate therefore said unto Art thou a king then? Jesus swered, Thou sayest that I ar king. To this end was I born. : for this cause came I into the wir that I should bear witness unto truth. Every one that is of truth, heareth my voice. 38 Pilate saith unto him, W is truth? And when he had s this, he went out again unto : Jews, and saith unto them, I t in him no fault at all. 39 But ye have a custom that' should release unto you one at th passover: will ye therefore, that o is willing to release him.
