31When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him with himself, and immediately glorify him. 33My dear children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: as I said to the Jews, Whither I am going, ye cannot come; so say I now to you. 34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter. 37Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. 38Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I tell thee, the cock will not crow, before thou shalt deny me thrice.

LET not your hearts be troubled: trust in God, and trust in me. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions: and if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare you a place, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4And whither I am going ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith to him, We know not whither thou art going; and how can we know the way? 6Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me. 7If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.
8Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith to him, Am I all this while with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? 10Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: and at least believe me on account of the works themselves. 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works which I do shall he do also; yea, and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; because he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20In that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is the person who loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me. 25These things have I spoken to you, while I continue among you. 26But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have spoken to you. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be agitated, nor shrink back through fear. 28Ye have heard that I told you, I am going away, though I am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I am going to the Father: because my Father is greater than I. 29And now I have informed you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. 30I shall not speak many things more with you: for the ruler of this world is coming, though in me he hath no part. 31But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father hath given me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
[CHAP. XV.]
I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3Ye are already clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine: so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, this person beareth much fruit: because without me ye can do nothing. 6If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you. 8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye should bring forth much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9Just as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and as I abide in his love. 11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full. 12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, just as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you. 15I no more call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master is doing: but I have called you friends because I have made known to you all things which I have heard of my Father. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you. 19If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you. 20Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your’s also. 21But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” 26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
