The Life of Jesus

`For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

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

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.

`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 ;

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.'

These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'

Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost--do quickly;'

and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

`Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews--Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

`A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

`Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
