17

if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

18

not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

19

`From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he ;

20

verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
