DIATESSARON OF TATIAN
(SEC. XXXVIII TO LV)

SECTION XXXVIII.

38 1, 2 And Jesus came to Bethany, and found him already four days in the grave. And Bethany was beside Jerusalem, and its distance from it was a sum of fifteen fur- 3 longs;(6) and many of the Jews came unto Mary and Martha, to comfort their heart 4 because of their brother. And Martha, when she heard that Jesus had come, went 5 out to meet him: but Mary was sitting in the house. Martha then said unto Jesus, 6 My Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know now that, 7 whatever thou shalt ask of God, he will give thee. Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall 8 rise. Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise in the resurrection at the last day. 9 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: whosoever believeth in 10 Arabic, me, even though he die, he shall live: and every living one that believeth 11 p. 144 in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She said unto him, Yea, my Lord: I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, that cometh into the 12 world. And when she had said that, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, 13 and said unto her, Our Master hath come, and summoneth thee. And Mary, when 14 she heard, rose in haste, and came unto him. (And Jesus then had not come into 15 the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.) And the Jews also that were with her in the house, to comfort her, when they saw that Mary rose up and went out in haste, went after her, because they supposed that she was going to the 16 tomb to weep. And Mary, when she came to where Jesus was, and saw him, fell at his feet, and said unto him, If thou hadst been here, my Lord, my brother had

38 17 not died. And Jesus came; and when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were 18 with her weeping, he was troubled(1) in himself, and sighed; and he said, In what 19 place have ye laid him? And they said unto him, Our Lord, come and see. And 20 the tears of Jesus came.(2) The Jews therefore said, See the greatness of his love for 21 him! But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of that 22 blind man, have caused that this man also should not die? And Jesus came to the place of burial, being troubled within himself. And the place of burial was a cave, 23 and a stone was placed at its door. Jesus therefore said, Take these stones away.

Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, My Lord, he hath come to 24 stink for some time: he hath been(3) four days dead. Jesus said unto her, Did not I say 25 Arabic, unto thee, If thou believest, thou shall see the glory of God? And they re- p. 145 moved those stones. And Jesus lifted his eyes on high,and said, My Father, 26 I thank thee Since thou didst hear me. And I know that thou at all times hearest me: but I say this unto thee because of this multitude that is standing, that they 27 may believe that thou didst send me. And when he had said that, he cried with a 28 loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And that dead man came out, having his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped in a scarf. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

29 And many of the Jews which came unto Mary, when they saw the deed of Jesus, 30 believed in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees, and informed them of all that Jesus did.

31 And the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered, and said, What shall we do? 32 for lo, this man doeth many signs. And if we leave him thus, all men will believe 33 in him: and the Romans will come and take our country and people. And one of them, who was called Caiaphas, the chief priest he was in that year, said unto them, 34 Ye know not anything, nor consider that it is more advantageous for us that one 35 man should die instead of the people, and not that the whole people perish. And this he said not of himself: but because he was the chief priest of(4) that year, he 36 prophesied that Jesus was to die instead of the people; and not instead of the people alone, but that he might gather the scattered children of God together. 37 And from that day they considered how to kill him. 38 Arabic, And Jesus did not walk openly amongst the Jews, but departed thence to a p. 146 place near the wilderness, to a town(5) called Ephraim; and he was there, going 39 about with his disciples. And the passover of the Jews was near: and many went 40 up from the villages unto Jerusalem before the feast, to purify themselves. And they sought for Jesus, and said one to another in the temple, What think ye of his 41 holding back from the feast? And the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew in what place he was, he should reveal it to them, that they might take him.

42 And when the days of his going up were accomplished, he prepared himself that 43 he might go(6) to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers before him, and departed,(7) and 44 entered into a village(8) of Samaria, that they might make ready for him. And they 45 received him not, because he(9) was prepared for going to Jerusalem. And when James and John his disciples saw it, they said unto him, Our Lord, wilt thou that we speak, and fire come down from heaven, to extirpate them, as did Elijah also? 46 And Jesus turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are. 47 Verily the Son of man did not come to destroy lives, but to give life. And they went to another village.

SECTION XXXIX.

39 1 And Jesus six days before the passover(1) came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, 2 whom Jesus raised from among the dead. And they made(2) a feast for him there: 3 and Martha was serving; while Lazarus was one of them that sat with him. And 4 at the time of Jesus' being at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, great multitudes of the Jews heard that Jesus was there: and they came, not because of Jesus alone, but Arabic, that they might look also on Lazarus, whom he raised from among the dead. 5, 6 p. 147 And the chief priests considered how they might kill Lazarus also; because 7 many of the Jews were going on his account, and believing in Jesus• And Mary took a case of the ointment of fine nard, of great price, and opened it, and poured 8 it out on the head of Jesus as he was reclining; and she anointed his feet, and wiped them with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 9, 10 But Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, he that was to betray him, said, Why was 11 not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given unto the poor? This he said, not because of his care for the poor, but because he was a thief, and the chest 12 was with him, and what was put(3) into it he used to bear. And that displeased the rest of the disciples also within themselves, and they said, Why went this ointment 13 to waste? It was possible that it should be sold for much, and the poor be given 14 it. And they were angry with(4) Mary. And Jesus perceived it, and said unto them, Leave her; why molest ye her? a good work hath she accomplished on me: for the 15 day of my burial kept she it. At all times the poor are with you, and when ye 16 wish ye can do them a kindness: but I am not at all times with you. And for this cause, when she poured(5) this ointment on my body, it is as if she did it for my bur- 17 ial, and anointed my body beforehand. And verily I say unto you, In every place where this my gospel shall be proclaimed in all the world, what she did shall be told for a memorial of her. 18, 19 Arabic, And when Jesus said that, he went out leisurely to go to Jerusalem, And p. 148 when he arrived at Bethphage and at Bethany, beside the mount which is 20 called the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and he said unto them, Go 21 into this village that is opposite you: and when ye enter it, ye shall find an ass tied, and 22 a colt with him,(6) which no man ever yet mounted: loose him, and bring them(7) unto me. And if any man say unto you, Why loose ye them? say unto him thus, We 23 seek them for our Lord; and straightway send them hither.All this was, that what was said in the prophet might be fulfilled, which said,

24 Say ye unto the daughter of Zion,

Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,

Meek, and riding upon an ass,

And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

25 And the disciples did not know this at that time: but after that Jesus was glorified, his disciples remembered that these things were written of him, and that this 26 they had done unto him. And when the two disciples went, they found as he had 27 said unto them, and they did as Jesus charged them. And when they loosed them, 28 their owners said unto them, Why loose ye them? They said unto them, We seek 29 them for our Lord. And they let them go. And they brought the ass and the colt, 30 and they placed on the colt their garments; and Jesus mounted it. And most of the multitudes spread their garments on the ground before him: and others cut branches 31 from the trees, and threw them in the way. And when he neared his(8) descent from Arabic, the mount of Olives, all the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God with 32 p. 149 a loud voice for all the powers which they had seen; and they said, Praise in the highest; Praise to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name 33 of the Lord; and blessed(10) is the kingdom that cometh, that of(11) our father David: Peace in heaven, and praise in the highest.

39 34 And a great multitude, that which came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus 35 was coming to Jerusalem, took young palm branches,(1) and went forth to meet him, and cried and said, Praise: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the 36 King of Israel. Certain therefore of the Pharisees from among the multitudes 37 said unto him, Our Master, rebuke thy disciples. He said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If these were silent, the stones would cry out.

38, 39 And when he drew near, and saw the city, he wept over it, and said, Would that thou hadst known the things that are(2) for thy peace, in this thy day! now that is 40 hidden from thine eyes. There shall come unto thee days when thine enemies 41 shall encompass thee, and straiten thee from every quarter, and shall get possession of(3) thee, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

42 And when he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was agitated, and they said, 43 Who is this? And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet that is from Naza- 44 reth of Galilee. And the multitude which was with him bare witness that he called 45 Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from among the dead. And for this cause great multitudes went out to meet him, because they heard the sign which he did.

40 1 Arabic, And when Jesus entered the temple, they brought unto him blind and 2 p. 150 lame: and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the Pharisees saw the wonders that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and 3 saying, Praise be to the Son of David: it distressed them, and they said, Hearest thou not what these say? Jesus said unto them, Yea: did ye not read long ago, From 4 the mouths of children and infants thou hast chosen my praise? And the Pharisees said one to another, Behold, do ye not see that nothing availeth us? for lo, the whole world hath followed him.

5 And there were among them certain Gentiles also, which had come up to wor- 6 ship at the feast: these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, 7 and asked him, and said unto him, My lord, we wish to see Jesus. And Philip 8 came and told Andrew: and Andrew and Philip told Jesus. And Jesus answered and said unto them, The hour is come nigh, in which the Son of man is to be glori- 9 fied. Verily, verily, I say unto you, A grain of wheat, if it fall not and die in the 10 earth, remaineth alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. He that loveth his life(4) destroyeth it; and he that hateth his life(4) in this world shall keep it unto the life eter- 11 nal. If a man serve me, he will follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be 12 also: and whosoever serveth me, the Father will honour him. Now is my soul trou-Arabic, bled: and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour. But 13 p. 151 for this cause came I unto this hour. My Father, glorify thy name. And a 14 voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified it, and shall glorify it. And the multitude that were standing heard, and said, This is thunder: and others said, An 15 angel speaketh to him. Jesus answered and said unto them, Not because of me 16 was this voice, but because of you. Now is the judgement of this world; and the 17 prince of this world shall now be cast forth. And I, when I am lifted up from the 18 earth, shall draw every man unto me. This he said, that he might shew by what 19 manner of death he should die. The multitudes said unto him, We have heard out of the law that the Messiah abideth for ever: how then sayest thou, that the Son of 20 man is to be lifted up? who is this, the Son of man? Jesus said unto them, Another little while is the light with you. Walk so long as ye have light, test the darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 21 So long as ye have light, believe the light, that ye may be the children of the light.

22 And when certain of the Pharisees asked of Jesus, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered and said unto them, The kingdom of God cometh not

40 23 with expectation: neither shall they say, Lo, it is here! nor, Lo, it is there! for the kingdom of God is within you.

24 And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he used to go 25 out, and pass the night in the mount called the mount of Olives.And all the people came[1] to him in the morning in the temple, to hear his word.

26, 27 Then spoke Jesus unto the multitudes and his disciples, and said unto them, On Arabic, the seat of Moses are seated the scribes and Pharisees: everything that p. 152 they say unto you now to keep, keep and do: but according to their deeds 29 do ye not; for they say, and do not. And they bind heavy burdens, and lay them on the shoulders of the people; while they with one of their fingers will not come 30, 31 near[2] them. But all their deeds they do to make a shew before men. And all the multitude were hearing that with pleasure.

32 And in the course of his teaching he said unto them, Guard yourselves from the 33 scribes, who desire to walk in robes, and love salutation in the marketplaces, and sitting in the highest places of the synagogues, and at feasts in the highest parts of 34 the rooms: and they broaden their amulets, and lengthen the cords of their cloaks, 35 and love that they should be called by men, My master, and devour widows' houses, because a of their prolonging' their prayers; these then shall receive greater judge- 36 ment. But ye, be ye not called masters:[4] for your master is one; all ye are brethren. 37 Call not then to yourselves any one[5] father on earth: for your Father is one, who is 38 in heaven. And be not called directors: for your director is one, even the Messiah. 39, 40 He that is great among you shall be unto you a minister. Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and whosoever shall abase himself shall be exalted.

41 Woe unto you, Pharisees! because ye love the highest places in the synagogues, and salutation in the marketplaces.

42 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye devour widows' houses, because[6] of your prolonging your prayers: for this reason then ye shall receive greater judgement.

43 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye have shut the kingdom of God before men.

44 Arabic Woe unto you that know the law! for ye concealed the keys of know- p. 153 ledge: ye enter not, and those that are entering ye suffer not to enter.

45 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because[7] ye compass land and sea to draw s one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him a son of hell twice as much[9] as yourselves.

46 Woe unto you, ye blind! guides! because ye say, Whosoever sweareth by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gold that is in the temple, 47 shall be condemned.[10] Ye blind foolish ones: which is greater, the gold, or the 48 temple which sanctifieth the gold? And, Whosoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the offering that is upon it, shall be condemned.[10] 49 Ye blind foolish ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth 50 the offering? Whosoever then sweareth by the altar, hath sworn by it, and by all 51 that is upon it. And whosoever sweareth by the temple, hath sworn by it, and by 52 him that is dwelling in it. And whosoever sweareth by heaven, hath sworn by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.

53 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye tithe mint and rue and dill and cummin and all herbs, and ye leave the important matters of the law, judgement, and mercy, and faith, and the love of God: this ought ye to do, and 54 not to leave that undone. Ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow n camels.

55 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye cleanse the outside

So ye also from without appear unto men like the righteous, but within ye are full of wrong and hypocrisy.

59 One of the scribes answered and said unto him, Teacher, in this saying of thine 60 thou art casting a slur on us. He said, And to you also, ye scribes, woe! for ye lade men with heavy burdens, and ye with one of your fingers come not near[2] those burdens.

61 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, which your fathers killed, and adorn the burying-places of the righteous, 62 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers 63 with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore, behold, ye witness against 64 yourselves, that ye are the children of those that slew the prophets. And ye also, 65 ye fill up the measure[3] of your fathers.

SECTION XLI.

41 1 Therefore, behold, I, the wisdom of God, am sending unto you prophets, and apostles, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall slay and crucify; and some of them ye shall beat in your synagogues, and persecute[4] from city to 2 city: that there may come on you all the blood of the righteous that hath been poured upon the ground[5] from the blood of Abel the pure to the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple[6] and the altar. 3 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation,[7]

4 Arabic, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, slayer of the prophets, and stoner of them that p. 155 are sent unto her! how many times did I wish to gather thy children, as 5 a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Your house shall 6 be left over you desolate. Verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 7 And many of the rulers also believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they 8 were not confessing him, lest they be put s out of the synagogue: and they loved 9 the praise of men more than the praising of God. And Jesus cried and said, 10 Whosoever believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me. And 11 whosoever seeth me hath seen him that sent me. I am come a light[9] into the 12 world, and so every one that believeth in me abideth not in the darkness. And whosoever heareth my sayings, and keepeth them not, I judge him not: for I came 13 not to judge the world, but to give the world life.[10] Whosoever wrongeth[11] me, and receiveth not my sayings, there is one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, it 14 shall judge him at the last day. I from myself did not speak: but the Father which sent me, he hath given me commandment,[12] what I should say, and what I 15 should speak; and I know that his commandment[12] is eternal life. The things that I say now, as my Father hath said unto me, even so I say.

16 And when he said that unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began their evil-doing, being angry with him, and finding fault with his sayings, and harassing[13] him 17 in many things; seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might be able to calumniate him.

18 And when there gathered together myriads of great multitudes, which almost trode

41 Arabic, one upon another, Jesus began to say unto his disciples, Preserve yourselves 19 p. 156 from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing 20 concealed, that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. Everything that ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken secretly in the ears in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed on the roofs.

21, 22 This said Jesus, and he went and hid himself from them. But notwithstanding 23 his having done all these signs before them, they believed not in him: that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said,

My Lord, who is he that hath believed to hear us?

And the arm of the Lord, to whom hath it appeared?

24 And for this reason it is not possible for them to believe, because Isaiah also said,

25 They have blinded their eyes, and made dark their heart;

That they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart,

And turn,

So that I should heal them.

26 This said Isaiah when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

27 And when Jesus went out of the temple, certain of his disciples came forward 28 to shew[1] him the buildings of the temple, and its beauty and greatness, and the strength of the stones that were laid in it, and the elegance of its building, and that 29 it was adorned with noble stones and beautiful colours. Jesus answered and said 30 unto them, See ye these great buildings? verily I say unto you, Days will come,

when there shall not be left here a stone upon another, that shall not be cast down.

31 And two days before[3] the passover of unleavened bread, the chief priests and 32 the scribes sought how they might take him by deceit,[4] and kill him: and they said, It shall not be at the feast, lest the people be agitated.

33 And when Jesus sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, his disciples, Simon Cephas and James and John and Andrew, came forward unto him, and said unto him 34 between themselves and him, Teacher, tell us when that shall be, and what is the sign 35 Arabic, of thy coming and the end of the world. Jesus answered and said unto them, p. 157 Days will come, when ye shall long to see one of the days of the Son of 36, 37 man, and shall not behold. Take heed lest any man lead you astray. Many shall 38 come in my name, and say, I am the Messiah; and they shall say, The time is come 39 near, and shall lead many astray: go not therefore after them. And when ye hear of wars and tidings of insurrections, see to it, be[5] not agitated: for these things must 40 first be; only the end is not yet come. Nation shall rise against nation, and king- 41 dom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in one place and another, and there shall be famines and deaths and agitations: and there shall be fear and terror and great signs that[6] shall appear from heaven, and there shall be great 42, 43 storms. All these things are the beginning of travail. But before all of that, they shall lay hands upon you, and persecute you, and deliver you unto the synagogues 44 and into prisons, and bring you before kings and judges for my name's sake. And 45 that shall be unto you for a witness. But first must my gospel be preached unto all 46 nations. And when they bring you into the synagogues before the rulers and the authorities, be not anxious beforehand how ye shall answer for yourselves, or what ye 47, 48 shall say: because it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. Lay it to your heart, not 49 Arabic, to be anxious before the time what ye shah say: and I shall[7] give you under- p. 158 standing and wisdom,s which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay. 50 And then shall they deliver you unto constraint, and shall kill you: and ye shall be 51 hated of all nations because of my name. And then shall many go astray,[9] and they 52 shall hate one another, and deliver one another unto death. And your parents, and your brethren, and your kinsfolk, and your friends shall deliver you up, and shall 53, 54 slay some of you. But a lock of hair from your heads shall not perish. And by 55 your patience ye shall gain[10] your souls. And many men,[11] false prophets, shall arise, 56 and lead many astray. And because of the abounding of iniquity, the love of many

42 1 But when ye see Jerusalem with the army compassing it about, then know that 2 its desolation is come near. Those then that are in Judaea at that time shall flee to the mountain; and those that are within her shall flee; and those that are in the 3 villages shall not enter her. For these days are the days of vengeance, that all that 4 is written may be fulfilled. And when ye see the unclean sign of desolation,[2] spoken of in Daniel the prophet, standing in the pure place, he that readeth shall understand, 5,6 and then he that is in Judaea shall flee in to the mountain: and let him that is on the 7 roof not go down, nor enter in to take anything from his house: and let him that is in 8 Arabic, the field not turn behind him to take his garment. Woe to them that are p. 159 with child and to them that give suck in those days! there shall be great 9 distress in the land, and wrath against this nation. And they shall fall on the edge of the sword,[3] and shall be taken captive to every land: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the nations, until the times of the nations be ended.

10 Then if any man say unto you, The Messiah is here; or, Lo, he is there; believe 11 him not: there shall rise then false Messiahs and prophets of lying, and shall do signs and wonders, in order that they may lead astray even the elect also, if they 12 be able. But as for you, beware: for I have acquainted you with everything 13 beforehand. If then they say unto you, Lo, he is in the desert; go not out, lest ye 14 be taken: and if they say unto you, Lo, he is in the chamber; believe not. And as the lightning appeareth from the east, and is seen unto the west; so shall be the 15 coming of the Son of man. But first he must suffer much and be rejected by this 16 generation.[4] Pray therefore that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath: 17 there shall be then great tribulation,[5] the like of which there hath not been from the 18 beginning of the world till now, nor shall be. And except the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would have lived: but because of the elect, whom he elected, 19 he shortened those days. And there shall be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and upon the earth affliction[5] of the nations, and rubbing of hands for the con- 20 Arabic. fusion[6] of the noise of the sea, and an earthquake: the souls of men shall 21 p. 160 go forth from fear of that which is to come upon the earth. And in those days, straightway after the distress of those days, the sun shall become dark, and the moon shall not shew its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers 22 of heaven shall be convulsed: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and at that time all the tribes of the earth shall wail, and look unto the Son 23 of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And he shall send his angels with the great trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four 24 winds, from one end of heaven to the other.[7] But when these things begin to be, be of good cheer, and lift up your heads; for your salvation [8] is come near.

25 Learn the example of the fig tree: when it letteth down its branches,[9] and put- 26 teth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is come; so ye also, when ye see these things begun to be, know ye that the kingdom of God hath arrived at the 27 door. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these 28 things shall be. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my sayings shall not pass away.

29 Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts become not heavy with inordinate desire,[10] and drunkenness, and the care of the world at any time, and that day come

14 30 upon you suddenly: for it is as a shock that shocks all the inhabitants that are on the 31 face of the whole earth. Watch at all times, and pray, that ye may be worthy to escape Arabic. from all the things that are to be, and that ye may stand before the Son of 32 p. 161 man. Of that day and of that hour hath no man learned, not even the angels 33 of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. See ye, and watch and pray: for ye know 34 not when that time will be. It is as a man, who journeyed, and left his house, and gave his authority to his servants, and appointed every man to his work, and 35 charged the porter to be wakeful. Be wakeful then:[1] since ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or when the 36 cock croweth, or in the morning; lest he come unexpectedly, and find you sleeping. 37 The thing that I say unto you, unto all of you do I say it, Be ye watchful.

38 For as it was in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. 39 As they were before the flood eating and drinking, and taking wives, and giving 40 wives to men, until the day in which Noah entered into the ark, and they perceived not till the flood came, and took them all; so shall the coming of the Son of man 41 be. And as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating and drinking, and selling 42 and buying, and planting and building, on the day in which Lot went out from Sodom, and the Lord rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them 43, 44 all: so shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.[2] And in that day, whosoever is on the roof, and his garments[3] in the house, let him not go down to 45 take them: and he that is in the field shall not turn behind him. Remember Lot's 46 wife. Whosoever shall desire to save his life shall destroy it: but whosoever shall 47 destroy his life shall save it. Verily I say unto you, In that night there shall be two on 48 Arabic, one bed; one shall be taken, and another left. And two women shall be grind- 49 p. 162 ing at one mill; one shall be taken, and another left. And two shall be in the 50 field; one shall be taken, and another left. They answered and said unto him, To what place, our Lord? He said unto them, Where the body is, there will the eagles 51, 52 gather. Be attentive now: for ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh. Know this: if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have been attentive, and would not make it possible that his house should be 53 broken through. Therefore be ye also ready: for in the hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

43 1 Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, is it to us that thou hast spoken this 2 parable, or also to every man? Jesus said unto him, Who, thinkest thou, is the servant, the master of the house,[5] trusted with control,[6] whom his lord set over his 3 household, to give them their food in its season? Blessed is that servant, whom his 4 lord shall come and find having done so. Verily I say unto you, He will set him 5 over all that he hath. But if that evil servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his 6 coming; and shall begin to beat his servants and the maidservants of his lord, and 7 shall begin to eat and to drink with the drunken; the lord of that servant shall come 8 in the day that he thinketh not, and in the hour that he knoweth not, and shall Arabic, judge him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites, and with those that p. 163 are not faithful: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

9 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like unto ten virgins, those that took their 10 lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were 11 wise, and five foolish. And those foolish ones took their lamps, and took not with 12, 13 them oil: but those wise ones took oil in vessels along with their lamps. When then 14 the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But in the middle of the night there occurred a cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go forth therefore to 5, 16 meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and made ready their lamps. The foolish 17 said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But those wise answered and said, Perhaps[7] there will not be enough for us and you: but go ye to

43 18 the sellers, and buy for yourselves. And when they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and 19 the door was shut. And at last those other virgins also came and said, Our Lord, 20 our Lord, open unto us. He answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, 21 I know you not. Watch then, for ye know not that day nor that hour.

22 It is as a man, who went on a journey, and called his servants, and delivered unto 23 them his possessions. And unto one he gave five talents,[1] and another two, and another 24 one; every one according to his strength; and went on his journey forthwith. He Arabic, then that received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained 25, 26 p. 164 other five. And so also he of the two gained other two. But he that re- 27 ceived the one went and digged in the earth, and hid the money of his lord. And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and took from them the account. 28 And he that received five talents came near and brought other five, and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents: lo, I have gained other five in addition to them. 29 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: over a little hast 30 thou been faithful, over much will I set thee: enter into the joy of thy lord. And he that had the two came near and said, My lord, thou gavest me two talents: lo, 31 other two have I gained in addition to them. His lord said unto him, Good,[2] thou faithful servant: over a little hast thou been faithful, over much will I set thee: enter 32 into the joy of thy lord. And he also that received the one talent came forward and said, My lord, I knew thee that thou an a severe man, who reapest where thou 33 sowest not, and gatherest where thou didst not scatter: and so I was afraid, and 34 went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast what is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest me 35 that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; it was incumbent on thee to put my money to the bank,[3] and then I should come and seek it with its 36 gains. Take now from him the talent, and give it to him that hath ten talents. 37 Whosoever hath shall be given, and he shall have more: but he that hath not, even 38 Arabic, what he hath shall be taken from him. And the unprofitable servant, put p. 165 him forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

39, 40 Your loins shall be girded, and your lamps lit; and ye shall be like the people that are looking for their lord, when he shall return from the feast; so that, when 41 he cometh and knocketh, they may at once open unto him. Blessed are those servants, whom their lord shall come and find attentive: verily I say unto you, that he will gird his waist, and make them sit down, and pass through[4] them and serve 42 them. And if he come in the second watch, or the third, and find thus, blessed are those servants.

43 But when the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his pure angels with him, 44 then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: and he will gather before him all the nations, and separate them the one from the other, like the shepherd who separateth 45 the sheep from the goats; and will set[5] the sheep on his right, and the goats on his 46 left. Then shall the King say to those that are at his right, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations[6] of the world: 47 I hungered, and ye gave me to eat; and I thirsted, and ye gave me to drink; and I 48 was a stranger, and ye took me in; and I was naked, and ye clothed me; and I 49 was sick, and ye visited me; and I was in prison, and ye cared for me. Then shall those righteous say unto him, Our Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? 50 or thirsty, and gave thee to drink? And when saw we thee a stranger, and took 51 thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? And when saw we thee sick, or imprisoned, and 52 cared for thee? The King shall answer an d say[7] unto them, Verily I say unto you, What Arabic, ye did to one of these my brethren, the little ones, ye did unto me. Then 53 p. 166 shall he say unto those that are on his left also, Depart from me, ye cursed, 54 into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his hosts: I hungered, and ye fed me 55 not; and I thirsted, and ye did not give me to drink; and I was a stranger, and ye

Then shall he answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, When ye did it not unto one of these little ones, ye did it not 58 unto me also.

44 1, 2 And when Jesus[1] finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days will be the passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be 3 crucified. Then gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders 4 of the people, unto the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together concerning Jesus, that they might seize him by subtilty, and 5 kill him. But they said, Not during the feast, lest there take place a disturbance among the people; for they feared the people.

6 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, who was of the number 7 of the twelve. And he went away, and communed with the chief priests, and the scribes, and those that held command in the temple, and said unto them, What 8 Arabic, would ye pay me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they, when they p. 167 heard it, were pleased, and made ready[2] for him thirty pieces of money.[3] 9 And he promised[4] them, and from that time he sought an opportunity[5] that he might deliver unto them Jesus without the multitude. And on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, and said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee that thou mayest eat the passover?

11 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour was arrived for his departure from this world unto his Father; and he loved his own in this world, 12 and to the last he loved them. And at the time of the feast, Satan put into the 13 heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to deliver him up. And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had delivered into his hands everything, and that he came 14 forth from the Father, and goeth unto God, rose from supper, and laid aside his 15 garments; and took a towel, and girded his waist, and poured water into a bason, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel where- 16 with his waist was girded. And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said unto 17 him, Dost thou, my Lord, wash for me my feet? Jesus answered and said unto 18 him, What I do, now thou knowest not; but afterwards thou shall learn. Simon said unto him, Thou shalt never wash for me my feet. Jesus said unto him, If I 19 wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Cephas said unto him, Then, my 20 Lord, wash not for me my feet alone, but my hands also and my head. Jesus said unto him, He that batheth[6] needeth not to wash save his feet, whereas his whole 21 body is clean: and ye also are clean, but not all of you. For Jesus knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

22 Arabic. So when he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and sat down, and 23 p. 168 said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you? Ye call me, Master, 24 and, Lord: and ye say well; so I am. If then I, now, who am your Lord and Master, have washed for you your feet, how needful is it that ye should wash one another's feet! 25 This have I given you as an example, that as I have done to you so ye should do 26 also. Verily, verily, I say unto you, No servant is greater than his lord; nor an 27 apostle greater than he that sent him. If ye know that, ye are happy if ye do it. 28 My saying this[7] is not for all of you: for I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth with me bread lifted against me his

31 Who is the great one, he that sitteth, or he that serveth? is it not he that sitteth? 32 I am among you as he that serveth. But ye are they that have continued with me 33 in my temptations; I promise[1] you, as my Father promised[1] me, the kingdom, that ye may eat and drink at the table of my kingdom.

34 And the first day[2] came, the feast of unleavened bread, on which the Jews were 35 wont[3] to sacrifice[4] the passover. And Jesus sent two of his disciples, Cephas and John, and said unto them, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat. 36, 37 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee? He said unto them, Go, enter the city; and at the time of your entering, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him, and the place where he entereth, say 38 to such an one, the master of the house, Our Master saith, My time is come, and Arabic, at thy house I keep the passover. Where then is the lodging-place where 39 p. 169 I shall eat with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room 40 spread and made ready: there then make ready for us. And his two disciples went out, and came to the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover as he had said unto them.

41 And when the evening was come, and the time arrived, Jesus came and reclined, 42 and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have 43 desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: I say unto you, that henceforth I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

44 Jesus said that, and was agitated s in his spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, 45 verily, I say unto you, One of you, he that eateth with me, shall betray me. And they were very sorrowful; and they began to say unto him, one after another of 46 them, Can it be 1, Lord? He answered and said unto them, One of the twelve, 47 he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, will betray me. And Io, the hand of 48 him that betrayeth me is on the table. And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: woe then to that man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed! for it 49 would have been better for that man had he not been born. And the disciples 50 looked one on another, for they knew not to whom he referred; and they began to search among themselves, who that might be who was to do this.

45 1, 2 Arabic,And one of his disciples was sitting[6] in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. p. 170 To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, con- 3 cerning whom he spake. And that disciple leaned[7] on Jesus' breast, and said unto him, 4 My Lord, who is this? Jesus 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 And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou 6 desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. And no man of them that sat knew why he 7 said this unto him. And 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. Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my 9 Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.

10 And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,[8] and God is being glorified[8] 11 in him; and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him. 12 And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; and he

45 13 gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. And he Arabic, took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, and said, Take 14, 15 p. 171 and drink of it, all of you. And they drank of it, all of them. And he said unto them, This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the 16 forgiveness of sins. I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink(1) with you new wine in the kingdom of 17 God. And thus do ye in remembrance of me. And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, 18 behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: but I entreat(2) for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:(3) and do thou, at some time, turn(4) and strengthen thy brethren. My 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. A 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. By this shall every man know that ye are 22 my disciples. if ye have love one to another. Simon 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 shall come.

23 Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert(5) me this night:(6) it is written, I 24 will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. But after my 25 rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. Simon Cephas answered and said unto 26 him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. And my life will I give up for thee. 27 Arabic, Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? Verily, verily, p. 172 I say unto thee, Thou shall to-day, during this night, before the cock crow 28 twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. But Cephas said the more,(7) Even if it lead to(8) death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.

Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:(9) believe in God, 30 and believe in me. The stations(10) in my Father's house are many, else I should 31 have told(11) you. I(12) go to prepare for you a place. And 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. And the place that I go ye know,(13) and the way ye know.(13) Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for 34 us to the knowledge of that?(14) Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, 35 and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know(15) him, 36 and have seen him. Philip(16) said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it suf- 37 ficeth us. Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know(17) me, Philip?(18) whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest 38 thou, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? and the saying that I say, I say not of myself: but my Father who dwelleth in 39 me, he doeth these deeds. Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me: 40 Arabic, or else believe for the sake of the deeds. Verily, verily, I say unto you, p. 173 Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also; and 41 more than that shall he do: I go unto the Father. And what ye shall ask in my 42 name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. And if ye 43, 44 ask me is in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he 45 may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him: but ye know him; for he hath dwelt(19)

SECTION XLVI.

46 1 Whosoever 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 him, and will 2 shew myself unto him. Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, My Lord, what is the 3 purpose of thy intention to shew thyself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, Whosoever loveth me will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and to him will we come, and make our(1) abode with him. 4 But he that loveth me not keepeth not my word: and this word that ye hear is not my word, but the Father's which sent me.

5, 6 This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you. But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything, and 7 Arabic, he will bring to your remembrance all that I say unto you. Peace I leave you; p. 174 my peace I give unto you: and not as this world giveth, give I unto you. 8 Let your heart not be troubled,(2) nor fearful. Ye heard that I said unto you, that I go away, and come unto you. If(3) ye loved me, ye would rejoice, that I go away to my 9 Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I say unto you before it come 10 to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe me. Now I will not speak with you much: the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in 11 me: but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.

12 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes,(4) 13 lacked ye perchance anything? They said unto him, Nothing. He said unto them, Henceforth, whosoever hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise the wallet also: and whosoever hath not a sword, shall sell his garment, and buy for himself a 14 sword. I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned(5) with the transgressors: for all that is said of me is fulfilled in 15 me. His disciples said unto him, Our Lord, lo, here are two swords. He said 16 unto them, They are sufficient. Arise, let us go hence. And they arose, and praised, and went forth, and went, according to their custom, to the mount of Olives, he and his disciples.

17 And he said unto them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 18 Every branch that produceth not fruit in me, he taketh it: and that which giveth fruit, 19 he cleanseth it, that it may give much fruit. Ye are already clean because of the word 20 that I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. And as the branch of the Arabic, vine cannot produce fruit of itself, if it be not abiding in the vine; so too ye 21 p. 175 also, if ye abide not in me. I am the vine, and ye are the branches: He then that abideth in me, and I in him, he giveth much fruit: for without me ye can- 22 not do anything. And if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, like a withered 23 branch; and it is gathered, and cast(6) into the fire, that it may be burned. If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, everything that ye desire to ask shall be 24 done unto you. And herein is the Father glorified, that ye may give much fruit; 25 and ye shall be my disciples. And as my Father loved me, I loved you also: 26 abide in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love; as I have 27 kept my Father's commands, and abode in his love. I have spoken that unto you, 28 that my joy(7) may be in you, and your joy(7) be fulfilled. This is my commandment, 29 that ye love one another, as I loved you. And no love is greater than this, namely, 30 that a man should give his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do all that 31 I command you. I call you not now servants; for the servant knoweth not what

46 his lord doeth: my friends have I now called you; for everything that I heard from 32 my Father I have made known unto you. Ye did not choose(1) me, but I chose I you, and appointed you, that ye also should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should(2) 33 abide; and that all that ye shall ask my Father in my name, he may(2) give you. This 34 I command(3) you, that ye love one another. And if the world hate you, know that 35 before you it hated me. If then ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but ye are not of the world: I chose you out of the world: therefore the world 36 Arabic, hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, that no servant is p. 176 greater than his lord. And if they persecuted(4) me, you also will they 37 persecute;(4) and if they kept my word, your word also will they keep. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, for they have not known(5) him 38 that sent me. And if I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: 39 but now they have no excuse for their sins. Whosoever hateth me, also hateth my 40 Father. And if I had not done the deeds before them that no other man did, they would not have had sin: but now they have seen and hated me and my Father 41 also: that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me for 42 nothing. But when the Paraclete is come, whom I will send unto you from my Father, even the Spirit of truth, which goeth forth from my Father, he shall bear witness of 43 me: and ye also bear witness, because from the beginning ye have been with me.

44, 45 I have said that unto you, that ye may not stumble.(6) And they shall put you out of their synagogues: and there cometh an(7) hour when every one that killeth 46 you shall think that he hath offered unto God an offering. And they will do that, 47 because they do not know me, nor my Father. I have said that unto you, so that 48 when its time is come, ye may remember it, that I told you. And this hitherto I said not unto you, because I was with you. But(8) now I go unto him that sent me; and no 49 man of you asketh me whither I go. I have said that unto you now, and grief hath 50 come and taken possession of your hems. But I say the truth unto you; It is better(9) for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come unto you; 51 Arabic, but if I go away, I will send him unto you. And when he cometh, he p. 177 will reprove the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgement: 52, 53 for sin, because they have not believed in me; and for righteousness, because I go 54 to my Father; and for judgement, because(10) the Archon of this world hath been 55 judged. And further have I many things to speak unto you, but ye cannot tarry(11) 56 now. Howbeit(12) when the Spirit of truth is come, he will remind(13) you of all the truth: he will say nothing from himself; but everything that he heareth, that shall 57 he say: and he shall make known unto you the things that are to be. And he shall 58 glorify me; for from me shall he take and shew you. All that my Father hath is mine: therefore said I unto you, that he taketh(14) of mine, and shall shew(14) you.

47 1 A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall 2 behold me; because I go to the Father. His disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he hath said unto us, A little while, and ye shall not behold me; and a little while again, and ye shall behold me: and, I go to my Father? And they said, What is this little while that he hath said? We know not what he speaketh. And Jesus perceived that they were seeking to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said unto you, A little while, and ye behold me not, and a little while again, and ye shall behold me? Verily, verily,(15) I say unto you, that ye shall weep and grieve, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your grief shall turn(16) to joy.

47 6 For, a woman when the time is come for her that she should bring forth, the arrival of the day of her bringing forth distresseth her: but whenever she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her distress, for joy at the birth of a man into the 7 world. And ye now also grieve: but I shall see you, and your hearts shall rejoice, 8 Arabic, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me p. 178 nothing. And verily, verily,[1] I say unto you, All that ye ask my Father 9 in my name, he will give you. Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

10 I have spoken unto you now in aenigmas:[2] but there will come an hour when a I shall not speak to you in aenigmas,[2] but shall reveal unto you the Father plainly, 11 in that day when[4] ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I shall 12 entreat the Father for you; for the Father loveth you, because ye have loved me, 13 and have believed that I came forth from my Father. I came forth from my Father, and came into the world: and I leave the world, and go unto my Father. 14 His disciples said unto him, Lo, thy speech is now plain, and thou hast not said one 15 thing in an aenigma. Now, lo, we know that thou knowest everything, and needest not that any man should ask thee: and by this we believe that thou camest forth 16, 17 from God. Jesus said unto them, Believe that an hour cometh, and lo, it hath come, and ye shall be scattered, every one of you to his place, and shall leave me 18 alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. This have I said unto you, that in me ye may have peace. And in the world trouble shall overtake you: but be of good courage; for I have overcome the world.

19 This said Jesus, and lifted up his eyes unto heaven, and said, My Father, the hour 20 is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee: as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that all that thou hast given him, he might give them[5] eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they should[6] know that thou alone art true God, and that he 22 Arabic, whom thou didst send is Jesus the Messiah.[7] I glorified thee in the earth, 23 P. 179 and the work which thou gavest me to do I have accomplished. And now glorify thou me, O Father, beside thee, with that glory which I had with thee 24 before the world was. I made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept 25, 26 thy word. Now they[8] know that all that thou hast given me is from thee: and the sayings 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 believed that thou didst send me. 27 And I ask for their sake: and my asking is not for the world, but for those whom 28 thou hast given me; for they are thine: and all that is mine is thine, and all that is 29 thine is mine: and I am glorified in them. And now I am not in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. My[9] holy Father, keep them in thy 30 name which[10] thou hast given unto me, that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: and I kept those whom thou gavest unto me: and no man of them hath perished, but the son of perdition; that 31 the scripture might be fulfilled. Now I come to thee: and this I say in the world, 32 that my joy may be complete in them. I have given them thy word; and the world 33 hated them, because they were not of the world, as I was not of the world. And I ask not this, that thou take them from the world, but that thou keep them from the 34, 35 evil one. They were not of the world, as I was not of the world. O Father, sanctify 36 them in thy truth: for thy word is truth. And as thou didst send me into the world, I 37 Arabic, also send them into the world. And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they 38 P. 180 also may be sanctified in the truth. Neither for these alone do I ask, but for 39 the sake of them that believe in me through their word; that they may be all one;

47 as thou art in me, and I in thee, and so they also shall be one in us: that the world 40 may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given unto 41 me I have given unto them; that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect into[1] one; and that the world may know that 42 thou didst send me, and that I[2] loved them, as thou lovedst me. Father, and those whom thou hast given me, I wish that, where I am, they may be with me also; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before 43 the foundation[3] of the world. My righteous Father,[4] and the world knew thee not, 44 but I know thee; and they knew that thou didst send me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known to them; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I shall[5] be in them.

48 1 This said Jesus, and went forth with his disciples to a place which was called Gethsemane,[6] on[7] the side that is in the plain[8] of Kidron, the mountain,[9] the place 2 in which was a garden; and he entered thither, he and his disciples. And Judas the 3 betrayer knew that place: for Jesus oft-times met with his disciples there. And when Jesus came to the place, he said to his disciples, Sit ye here, so that I may go and pray; 4, 5 Arabic, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptations. And he took with him p. 181 Cephas and the sons of Zebedee together, James and John; and he began to 6 look sorrowful, and to be anxious. And he said unto them, My soul is distressed unto 7 death: abide ye here, and watch with me. And he withdrew from them a little, 8 the space of a stone's throw; and he kneeled,[10] and fell on his face, and prayed, so 9 that, if it were possible, this hour might pass[11] him. And he said, Father, thou art able for all things; if thou wilt, let this cup pass me: but let not my will be done, 10 but let thy will be done. And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; 11 and he said unto Cephas, Simon, didst thou sleep? Could ye thus not for one hour 12 watch with me? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptations: the spirit is 13 willing and ready, but the body is weak.[12] And he went again a second time, and prayed, and said, My Father, if it is not possible with regard to[13] this cup that it pass, 14 except I drink it, thy will be done. And he returned again, and found his disciples sleeping, for their eyes were heavy from their grief and anxiety; and they knew not 15 what to say to him. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third 16 time, and said the very same word. And there appeared unto him an angel from 17 heaven, encouraging him. And being afraid[14] he prayed continuously:[15] and his sweat[16] Arabic, became like a stream of blood, and fell on the ground. Then he rose from 19 p. 182 his prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping. And he 20 said unto them, Sleep now, and rest: the end hath arrived,[16] and the hour hath come; 21 and behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us go:[17] for he hath come that betrayeth me.

22 And while he was still speaking, came Judas the betrayer, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude carrying lanterns and torches[18] and swords and staves, from the chief priests and scribes and eiders of the people, and with him the foot- 23 soldiers of the Romans.[19] And Judas the betrayer gave them a sign, and said, He whom I shall kiss, he is he: take him with care,[20] and lead him away.[21]

48 24 And Jesus, because he knew everything that should come upon him, went forth 25 unto them. And immediately Judas the betrayer came to Jesus, and said, Peace, 26 my Master; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Judas, with a kiss betrayest 27 thou the Son of man? Was it for that thou camest, my friend? And Jesus said 28 to those that came unto him, Whom seek ye? They said unto him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said unto them, I am he. And Judas the betrayer also was standing 29 with them. And when Jesus said unto them, I am he, they retreated backward, and 30 fell to the ground. And Jesus asked them again, Whom seek ye? They answered, 31 Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said unto them, I told you that I am he: and if ye seek 32 me, let these go away: that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those 33 Arabic whom thou hast given me I lost not even one. Then came those that were p. 183 with Judas, and seized Jesus, and took him.

34 And when his disciples saw what happened, they said, Our Lord, shall we smite 35 them with swords? And Simon Cephas had a sword, and he drew it, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of that ser- 36 vant was Malchus. Jesus said unto Cephas, The cup which my Father hath given 37 me, shall I not drink it? Put the sword into its sheath: for all that take with[1] the 38 sword shall die by the sword. Thinkest[2] thou that I am not able to ask of my 39 Father, and he shall now raise up for me more than[3] twelve tribes of angels? Then 40 how should the scriptures which were spoken be fulfilled, that thus it must be? Your 41 leave in this.[4] And he touched the ear of him that was struck, and healed it. And in that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, As they come out against a thief are ye come out against me with swords and staves to take me? Daily was I with you in 42 the temple sitting teaching, and ye took me not: but this is your hour, and the power 43 of darkness. And that was, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. 44 Then the disciples all left him, and fled. And the footsoldiers and the officers 45 and the soldiers[5] of the Jews seized Jesus, and came. And a certain[6] young man 46 followed him, and he was wrapped in a towel, naked: and they seized him; so he 47 Arabic, left the towel, and fled naked. Then they took Jesus, and bound him, and p. 184 brought him to Annas first; because he was the father in law of Caiaphas, 48 who was chief priest that year. And Caiaphas was he that counselled the Jews, that it was necessary that one man should die instead of the people.

49 And Simon Cephas and one of the other disciples followed Jesus. And the chief 50 priest knew that disciple, and he entered with Jesus into the court; but Simon was standing without at the door. And that other disciple, whom the chief priest knew, 51 went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and she brought Simon in. And when the maid that kept the door saw Simon, she looked stedfastly at him, and said unto him, Art not thou also one of the disciples of this man, I mean Jesus the 52 Nazarene? But he denied, and said, Woman, I know him not, neither know I even 53 what thou sayest. And the servants and the soldiers rose, and made a fire in the 54 middle of the court, that they might warm themselves; for it was cold. And when 55 the fire burned up, they sat down around it. And Simon also came, and sat down with them to warm himself, that he might see the end of what should happen.

SECTION XLIX.

49 1, 2 And the chief priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.[7] And Jesus said unto him, I was speaking[8] openly to the people; and I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have spoken nothing in 3 Arabic, secret. Why askest thou me? ask those that have heard, what I spake unto 4 p. 185 them: for they know all that I said. And when he had said that, one of the soldiers which were standing there struck the cheek[9] of Jesus, and said unto him,

49 5 Dost thou thus answer the chief priest? Jesus answered and said unto him, If I 6 have spoken evil, bear witness of evil:[1] but if well, why didst thou smite me? And Annas sent Jesus bound unto Caiaphas the chief priest.

7 And when Jesus went out, Simon Cephas was standing in the outer court warm- 8 ing himself. And that maid saw him again, and began to say to those that stood 9 by, This man also was there with Jesus the Nazarene. And those that stood by 10 came forward and said to Cephas, Truly thou art one of his disciples. And he 11 denied again with an oath, I know not the man. And after a little one of the servants of the chief priest, the
