Section XLVI.

[1] ^31653165    John xiv. 21.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.  ^31663166    John xiv. 22.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?  ^31673167    John xiv. 23.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^31683168    Lit. the (cf. Syriac versions). abode with him.  [4] ^31693169    John xiv. 24.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] ^31703170    John xiv. 25.This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you.  ^31713171    John xiv. 26.But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything, and [7] [Arabic, p. 174] he will bring to your remembrance all that I say unto you.  ^31723172    John xiv. 27.Peace I leave you; my peace I give unto you:  and not as this world giveth, give I unto you.  [8] ^31733173    John xiv. 28.Let your heart not be troubled,^31743174    This word is quite unlike that used in § 45, 29. nor fearful.  Ye heard that I said unto you, that I go away, and come unto you.  If^31753175    The Syriac form of the introductory particle is wrongly used, for in Arabic it has interrogative force. ye loved me, ye would rejoice, that I go away to my [9] Father:  for my Father is greater than I.  ^31763176    John xiv. 29.And now I say unto you before it come [10] to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe me.  ^31773177    John xiv. 30.Now I will not speak with you much:  the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in [11] me:  ^31783178    John xiv. 31a.but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.

[12] ^31793179    Luke xxii. 35.And he said unto them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes,^31803180    The first letter of the Arabic word has lost its diacritical point. [13] lacked ye perchance anything?  They said unto him, Nothing.  ^31813181    Luke xxii. 36.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.  ^31823182    Luke xxii. 37.I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned^31833183    A possible rendering of the Syriac he was reckoned. with the transgressors:  for all that is said of me is fulfilled in [15] me.  ^31843184    Luke xxii. 38.His disciples said unto him, Our Lord, lo, here are two swords.  He said [16] unto them, They are sufficient.  ^31853185    John xiv. 31b; Luke xxii. 39.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] ^31863186    John xv. 1.And he said unto them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.  [18] ^31873187    John xv. 2.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.  ^31883188    John xv. 3.Ye are already clean because of the word [20] that I have spoken unto you.  ^31893189    John xv. 4.Abide in me, and I in you.  And as the branch of the [Arabic, p. 175] vine cannot produce fruit of itself, if it be not abiding in the vine; so too ye [21] also, if ye abide not in me.  ^31903190    John xv. 5.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 cannot [22] do anything.  ^31913191    John xv. 6.And if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, like a withered [23] branch; and it is gathered, and cast^31923192    The verbs may be active or passive, but are singular (cf. § 38, 43, note). into the fire, that it may be burned.  ^31933193    John xv. 7.If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, everything that ye desire to ask shall be [24] done unto you.  ^31943194    John xv. 8.And herein is the Father glorified, that ye may give much fruit; [25] and ye shall be my disciples.  ^31953195    John xv. 9.And as my Father loved me, I loved you also:  [26] abide in my love.  ^31963196    John xv. 10.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.  ^31973197    John xv. 11.I have spoken that unto you, [28] that my joy^31983198    Two words from the same root. may be in you, and your joy^31993199    Two words from the same root. be fulfilled.  ^32003200    John xv. 12.This is my commandment, [29] that ye love one another, as I loved you.  ^32013201    John xv. 13.And no love is greater than this, namely, [30] that a man should give his life for his friends.  ^32023202    John xv. 14.Ye are my friends, if ye do all that [31] I command you.  ^32033203    John xv. 15.I call you not now servants; for the servant knoweth not what 115his lord doeth:  my friends have I now called you; for everything that I heard from [32] my Father I have made known unto you.  ^32043204    John xv. 16.Ye did not choose^32053205    Different words. me, but I chose I you, and appointed you, that ye also should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should^32063206    Or, shall and will, respectively. [33] abide; and that all that ye shall ask my Father in my name, he may^32073207    Or, shall and will, respectively. give you.  ^32083208    John xv. 17.This [34] I command^32093209    Or, have commanded. you, that ye love one another.  ^32103210    John xv. 18.And if the world hate you, know that [35] before you it hated me.  ^32113211    John xv. 19.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, p. 176] hateth you.  ^32123212    John xv. 20.Remember the word that I said unto you, that no servant is greater than his lord.  And if they persecuted^32133213    cf. § 8, 34, note. me, you also will they [37] persecute;^32143214    cf. § 8, 34, note. and if they kept my word, your word also will they keep.  ^32153215    John xv. 21.But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, for they have not known^32163216    The Arabic text (Vat.) is grammatically inaccurate, and the Borg. ms. has know not. him [38] that sent me.  ^32173217    John xv. 22.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.  ^32183218    John xv. 23.Whosoever hateth me, also hateth my [40] Father.  ^32193219    John xv. 24.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, ^32203220    John xv. 25.They hated me for [42] nothing.  ^32213221    John xv. 26.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:  ^32223222    John xv. 27.and ye also bear witness, because from the beginning ye have been with me.

[44, 45] ^32233223    John xvi. 1.I have said that unto you, that ye may not stumble.^32243224    Lit. sway (as one does in dozing).  ^32253225    John xvi. 2.And they shall put you out of their synagogues:  and there cometh an^32263226    Or, the, as in Borg. ms. hour when every one that killeth [46] you shall think that he hath offered unto God an offering.  ^32273227    John xvi. 3.And they will do that, [47] because they do not know me, nor my Father.  ^32283228    John xvi. 4.I have said that unto you, so that [48] when its time is come, ye may remember it, that I told you.  ^32293229    John xvi. 5 [in the Greek and English verse 5 begins at But.].And this hitherto I said not unto you, because I was with you.  But^32303230    In the Greek and English verse 5 begins at But. now I go unto him that sent me; and no [49] man of you asketh me whither I go.  ^32313231    John xvi. 6.I have said that unto you now, and grief hath [50] come and taken possession of your hearts   ^32323232    John xvi. 7.But I say the truth unto you; It is better^32333233    Or, best. for you that I go away:  for if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come unto you; [51] [Arabic, p. 177] but if I go away, I will send him unto you.  ^32343234    John xvi. 8.And when he cometh, he will reprove the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgement:  [52, 53] for sin, ^32353235    John xvi. 9.because they have not believed in me; ^32363236    John xvi. 10.and for righteousness, because I go [54] to my Father; ^32373237    John xvi. 11.and for judgement, because^32383238    Lit. that (cf. Peshitta). the Archon of this world hath been [55] judged.  ^32393239    John xvi. 12.And further have I many things to speak unto you, but ye cannot tarry^32403240    Or perhaps receive (them).  Possibly a Syriac d has been read r.  But Ibn-at-Tayyib in the text of his Commentary (f. 357a) has a word which perhaps might be rendered accommodate yourselves (to them) (same letters, but last two transposed), while his comment (f. 357b) gives ye cannot bear it. [56] now.  ^32413241    John xvi. 13.Howbeit^32423242    Or, And. when the Spirit of truth is come, he will remind^32433243    The Syriac words for remind and lead differ only in the length of a single stroke.  Ibn-at-Tayyib (ibid. f. 357b) almost seems to have read illumine you with, although he calls attention to the “Greek” reading. 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.  ^32443244    John xvi. 14.And he shall [58] glorify me; for from me shall he take and shew you.  ^32453245    John xvi. 15.All that my Father hath is mine:  therefore said I unto you, that he taketh^32463246    Same tense. of mine, and shall shew^32473247    Same tense. you.
