Section XLV.

[1, 2] [Arabic, p. 170] 3012And one of his disciples was sitting3013 in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved.  3014To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning [3] whom he spake.  3015And that disciple leaned3016 on Jesus’ breast, and said unto him, [4] My Lord, who is this?  3017Jesus 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] 3018And after the bread, Satan entered him.  And Jesus said unto him, What thou [6] desirest to do, hasten the doing of it.  3019And no man of them that sat knew why he [7] said this unto him.  3020And 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.  3021Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my [9] Master?  Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said.  3022And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without:  and it was still night.

[10] 3023And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,3024 and God is being glorified3025 [11] in him; 3026and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

[12] 3027And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; 3028and he [13] gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body.  3029And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, 3030and said, Take [14, 15] and drink of it, all of you.  3031And they drank of it, all of them.  3032And he said unto them, 3033This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the [16] forgiveness of sins.  3034I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink3035 with you new wine in the kingdom of [17] God.  3036And thus do ye in remembrance of me.  3037And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, [18] behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat:  3038but I entreat3039 for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:3040  and do thou, at some time, turn3041 and strengthen thy brethren.

[19] 3042My 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.  3043A 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.  3044By this shall every man know that ye are [22] my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  3045Simon 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] 3046Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert3047 me this night:3048  it is written, I [24] will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.  3049But after my [25] rising, I shall go before you into Galilee.  3050Simon Cephas answered and said unto [26] him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee.  3051I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death.  3052And my life will I give up for thee.  [27] [Arabic, p. 172] 3053Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me?  3054Verily, 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.  3055But Cephas said the more,3056 Even if it lead to3057 death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord.  And in like manner said all the disciples also.

[29] 3058Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:3059  believe in God, [30] and believe in me.  3060The stations3061 in my Father’s house are many, else I should [31] have told3062 you.  I3063 go to prepare for you a place.  3064And 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.  3065And the place that I go ye know,3066 and the way ye know.3067  3068Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for [34] us to the knowledge of that?3069  3070Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, [35] and the life:  and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me.  3071And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father:  and from henceforth ye know3072 him, [36] and have seen him.  3073Philip3074 said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth [37] us.  3075Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know3076 me, Philip?
