| | | table reclining
| | in Jesus' bosom one of his
| | disciples, whom Jesus loved.
| |24 Simon Peter therefore beckoneth
| | to him, and saith unto him, Tell
| | _us_ who it is of whom he
| |25 speaketh. He leaning back, as he
| | was, on Jesus' breast saith unto
| |26 him, Lord, who is it? Jesus
| | therefore answereth, He it is,
| | for whom I shall dip the sop, and
| | give it him. So when he had
| | dipped the sop, he taketh and
| | giveth it to Judas, _the son_ of
| | Simon Iscariot.
|25 And Judas, |
| which |
| betrayed him,|
| answered and |
| said, Is it |
| I, Rabbi? He |
| saith unto |
| him, Thou |
| hast said. |
| |27 And after the
sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him,
28 That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what
29 intent he spake this unto him. For some thought, because Judas
had the [3]bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have
need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the
30 poor. He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it
was night.

[Footnote 1: Gr. _for him if that man_.]

[Footnote 2: Gr. _reclined_.]

[Footnote 3: Or, _box_.]

Sect. 147. AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF JUDAS JESUS WARNS THE DISCIPLES (PETER IN PARTICULAR) AGAINST DESERTION, WHILE ALL PROTEST THEIR LOYALTY

Mark 14:27-31 |Matt. 26:31-35 |Luke 22:31-38 |John 13:31-38
| | |
| | |31 When therefore
he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now [1]is the Son of man glorified,
32 and God [1]is glorified in him; and God shall glorify him in
33 himself, and straightway shall he glorify him. Little children,
yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said
34 unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto
you, A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another;
35 [2]even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By
| | | this shall all
| | | men know that
| | | ye are my
| | | disciples, if
| | | ye have love
| | | one to another.
27 And Jesus |31 Then saith |31 Simon, |36 Simon Peter

Sect. 148. JESUS INSTITUTES THE MEMORIAL OF EATING BREAD AND DRINKING WINE

Jerusalem. Evening before the Crucifixion

Mark 14:22-25 |Matt. 26:26-29 |Luke[a] 22:17-20|1 Cor.[b] 11:23-26
| | |
| |17 And he |

[Footnote 2: Some ancient authorities read _the cup_.]

[Footnote 3: Or, _the testament_.]

[Footnote 4: Many ancient authorities insert _new_.]

[Footnote 5: Some ancient authorities omit _which is given for you
... which is poured out for you._]

[Footnote 6: Or, _testament_.]

[Footnote 7: Many ancient authorities read _is broken for you_.]

[Footnote a: Luke here (see Sect. 144) departs from the order of Mark (and Matthew) and mentions the institution of the supper earlier in the evening. It seems best to follow the chronology of Mark, who places it after the departure of Judas.]

[Footnote b: These are two parallel reports of the institution of the supper. Mark is followed by Matthew and 1 Corinthians (about A.D. 56) by Luke (not earlier than A.D. 58).]

Sect. 149. THE FAREWELL DISCOURSE TO HIS DISCIPLES IN THE UPPER ROOM

Jerusalem

John 14[a]

1 Let not your heart be troubled: [1]ye believe in God, believe
2 also in me. In my Father's house are many [2]mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will
receive you unto myself; that where I am, _there_ ye may be also.
4 [3]And whither I go, ye know the way. Thomas saith unto him, Lord,
5 we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? Jesus saith
6 unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh
7 unto the Father, but [4]by me. If ye had known me, ye would have
known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen
8 him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
9 sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with
you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
10 seen the Father; how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? Believest
thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words
that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father
11 abiding in me doeth his works. Believe me that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also; and greater _works_ than these shall
13 he do; because I go unto the Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask
in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in
14 the Son. If ye shall ask [5]me anything in my name, that will I
15 do. If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. And I will
16 [6]pray the Father, and he shall give you another [7]Comforter,
17 that he may be with you for ever, _even_ the Spirit of truth: whom
the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither
knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in
18 you. I will not leave you [8]desolate: I come unto you. Yet a
19 little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold
20 me: because I live, [9]ye shall live also. In that day ye shall
21 know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love
22 him, and will manifest myself unto him. Judas (not Iscariot) saith
unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest
23 thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and
said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my
Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
24 abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and
the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, while _yet_ abiding with
26 you. But the [7]Comforter, _even_ the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to
27 your remembrance all that I said unto you. Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
28 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. Ye
heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye
loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father:
29 for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before
30 it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. I
will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world
31 cometh: and he hath nothing in me; but that the world may know
that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.[b]

[Footnote a: Chapters 13 to 17 in John really belong together. There is first the effort of Jesus to stop the bickerings of the Twelve, then his warning and their reply. Jesus continues to address them with repeated interruption (dialogue), but finally they fear to ask him further (monologue). The discourse concludes with the wonderful prayer (the real Lord's Prayer) in chapter 17.]

[Footnote b: Apparently they leave the Upper Room.]

Sect. 150. THE DISCOURSE ON THE WAY TO GETHSEMANE

Possibly on the Street

John 15 and 16[a]

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch
2 in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every
_branch_ that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear
3 more fruit. Already ye are clean because of the word which I have
4 spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can
5 ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He
that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for
6 apart from me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is
cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and
7 cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be
8 done unto you. Herein [1]is my Father glorified, [2]that ye bear
9 much fruit; and _so_ shall ye be my disciples. Even as the Father
10 hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love. If ye
keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have
11 kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things
have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and _that_ your
12 joy may be fulfilled. This is my commandment, that ye love one
13 another, even as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than
14 this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my
15 friends, if ye do the things which I command you. No longer do I
call you [3]servants; for the [4]servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard
16 from my Father I have made known unto you. Ye did not choose me,
but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear
fruit, and _that_ your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye
17 shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These
18 things I command you, that ye may love one another. If the world
hateth you, [5]ye know that it hath hated me before _it hated_
19 you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,
20 therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto
you, A [4]servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted
me, they will also persecute you; if they keep my word, they will
21 keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my
22 name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not
come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have
23 no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they
had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and
25 my Father. But _this cometh to pass_, that the word may be
fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a
26 cause [_see Ps. 35:19; 69:4_]. But when the [6]Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father, _even_ the Spirit of
truth, which [7]proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness
27 of me: [8]and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me
from the beginning.

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be made
2 to stumble. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour
cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth
3 service unto God. And these things will they do, because they have
4 not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I spoken unto
you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that
I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the
5 beginning, because I was with you. But now I go unto him that sent
6 me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I
have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I
go away: for if I go not away, the [6]Comforter will not come unto
8 you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. And he, when he is
come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of
9 righteousness, and of judgement: of sin, because they believe not
10 on me; of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold
11 me no more; of judgement, because the prince of this world hath
12 been judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
13 bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from
himself; but what things soever he shall hear, _these_ shall he
speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare
15 _it_ unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare _it_
16 unto you. A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a
17 little while, and ye shall see me. _Some_ of his disciples
therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us,
A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while,
18 and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said
therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not
19 what he saith. Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him,
and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning
this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again
20 a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto
you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice:
21 ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A
woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come:
but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more
22 the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. And ye
therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you
23 [_see Isa. 66:14_]. And in that day ye shall [9]ask me nothing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the
24 Father, he will give it you in my name. Hitherto have ye asked
nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be
fulfilled.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in [10]proverbs: the hour
cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in [10]proverbs, but
26 shall tell you plainly of the Father. In that day ye shall ask in
my name: and I say not unto you, that I will [11]pray the Father
27 for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved
28 me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. I came
out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave
29 the world, and go unto the Father. His disciples say, Lo, now
30 speakest thou plainly, and speakest no [12]proverb. Now know we
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 ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh,
32 yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own,
and shall leave me alone: and _yet_ I am not alone, because the
33 Father is with me. These things have I spoken unto you, that in me
ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world.

fruit, and be my disciples_.]

Sect. 151. CHRIST'S INTERCESSORY PRAYER

Possibly near Gethsemane

John 17

1 These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he
said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may
2 glorify thee: even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh,
that whatsoever thou hast given him, to them he should give
3 eternal life. And this is life eternal, that they should know thee
the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, _even_ Jesus
4 Christ. I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the
5 work which thou hast given me to do. And now, O Father, glorify
thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee
6 before the world was. I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou
gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them
7 to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things
8 whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee: for the words which
thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received _them_,
and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed
9 that thou didst send me. I [1]pray for them: I [1]pray not for the
world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I
11 am glorified in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are
in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy
name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we
12 _are_. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou
hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled
13 [_see Ps. 41:9_]. But now I come to thee; and these things I speak
14 in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I
have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they
15 are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I [1]pray not
that thou shouldest take them [2]from the world, but that thou
16 shouldest keep them [2]from [3]the evil _one_. They are not of the
17 world, even as I am not of the world. [4]Sanctify them in the
18 truth: thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world,
19 even so sent I them into the world. And for their sakes I
[4]sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in
20 truth. Neither for these only do I [1]pray, but for them also that
21 believe on me through their word; that they may all be one; even
as thou, Father, _art_ in me, and I in thee, that they also may be
22 in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the
glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they
23 may be one, even as we _are_ one; I in them, and thou in me, that
they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou
24 didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. Father,
[5]that which thou hast given me, I will that, where I am, they
also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
25 world. O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew
26 thee; and these knew that thou didst send me; and I made known
unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love
wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

[Footnote a: The Synoptic Gospels do not give the great discourse of Jesus in John 14 to 17. Hence they represent Jesus as going forth to Gethsemane after the institution of the supper (Sect. 148). The time was probably not long and they apparently sang the hymn (probably one of the Psalms) as they rose to leave the Upper Room (John 14:31). Hence the passage in John 15 to 17 comes in between singing the hymn and reaching Gethsemane.]
