I have other sheep besides, which do not belong to this fold; I must lead them also, and they will listen to my voice; and they shall become one flock under 'one Shepherd.'

"If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well," said the disciples.

Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him."

"I know that he will," replied Martha, "in the resurrection at the Last Day."

If we let him alone as we are doing, every one will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our City and our Nationality."

So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts: "What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?"

The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me."

If a man is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant shall be also. If a man is ready to serve me, my Father will honor him.

Father, honor thine own name." At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: "I have already honored it, and I will honor it again."

"Only a little while longer," answered Jesus, "will you have the Light among you. Travel on while you have the Light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.

He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already--the very Message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last Day.

"You do not understand now what I am doing," replied Jesus, "but you will learn by and by."

After saying this, Jesus was much troubled, and said solemnly: "In truth I tell you that it is one of you who will betray me."

And God will exalt him with himself--yes, he will exalt him forthwith.

My children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. You will look for me; and what I said to the Jews--'You cannot come where I am going'--I now say to you.

It is by this that every one will recognize you as my disciples--by your loving one another."

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" asked Peter. "I will lay down my life for you."

"Will you lay down your life for me?" replied Jesus. "In truth I tell you, the cock will not crow till you have disowned me three times.

If you had recognized me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognize him, indeed you have already seen him."

In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.

Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honored in the Son.

If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.

If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always--the Spirit of Truth.

I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.

In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.

At that time you will recognize that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.

It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

"Whoever loves me," Jesus answered, " will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.

But the Helper--the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name--he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.

Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.

If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father's commands to heart and remain in his love.

Remember what I said to you--'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have laid my Message to heart, they will lay yours to heart also.

But they will do all this to you, because you believe in my Name, for they do not know him who sent me.

But, when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of Truth, who comes from the Father--he will bear testimony to me;

They will expel you from their Synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will think that he is making an offering to God.

They will do this, because they have not learned to know the Father, or even me.

Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to Sin, and as to Righteousness, and as to Judgment;

As to Righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

Yet when he--The Spirit of Truth--comes, he will guide you into all Truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.

He will honor me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed."

At this some of his disciples said to one another: "What does he mean by saying to us 'In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed'; and by saying 'Because I am going to the Father'?

Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said: "Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying 'In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed'?

In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain shall turn to joy.

You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my Name.

So far you have not asked for anything, in my Name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

You will ask, at that time, in my Name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;

I have spoken to you in this way, so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will find trouble; yet, take courage! I have conquered the world."

I have made thee known to them, and will do so still; that the love that thou has had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also."

And there is another passage which says--'They will look upon him whom they pierced.'

"Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" he asked. Supposing him to be the gardener, Mary answered: "If it was you, Sir, who carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away myself."

So the rest of the disciples said to him: "We have seen the Master!" "Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands," he exclaimed, "and put my finger into the marks, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

"I am going fishing." "We will come with you," said the others. They went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.

"Cast your net to the right of the boat," he said, "and you will find fish." So they cast the net, and now they could not haul it in on account of the quantity of fish.

"In truth I tell you," he continued, "when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but, when you have grown old, you will have to stretch out your hands, while some one else puts on your girdle, and takes you where you do not wish."

"If it is my will that he should wait till I come," answered Jesus, "what has that to do with you? Follow me yourself."

So the report spread among the Brethren that that disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said "If it is my will that he should wait till I come, what has that to do with you?"

And said: "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This very Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the very way in which you have seen him go into the heavens."

'It shall come about in the last days,' God says, 'That I will pour out my Spirit on all mankind; your sons and your daughters shall become Prophets, your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams;

Yes, even on the slaves--for they are mine--both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit,

And I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below--Blood and fire and mist of smoke;

Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;

For you wilt not abandon my soul to the Place of Death, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption.

Thou have shown me the path to life, you wilt fill me with gladness in your presence.'

"Repent," answered Peter, "and be baptized every one of you in the Faith of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the Breaking of Bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the good-will of all the people.

Moses himself said--'The Lord your God will raise up from among your brothers a Prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.

And it shall be that should any one among the people not listen to that Prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.'

You yourselves are the heirs of the Prophets, and heirs, too, of the Covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham--'In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.'

Yet only to do what thou, by thy power and of thy own will, didst long ago destine to be done.

Then Peter said: "How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too."

And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;

But, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them--or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!"

Therefore, Brothers, look for seven men of reputation among yourselves, wise and spiritually-minded men, and we will appoint them to attend to this matter;

While we, for our part, will devote ourselves to Prayer, and to the delivery of the Message."

Indeed, we have heard him declare that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this Place, and change the customs handed down to us by Moses."

'Leave your country and your kindred, and come into the country that I will show you.'

God's words were these--'Abraham's descendants shall live in a foreign country, where they will be enslaved and ill-treated for four hundred years.

But I myself will judge the nation, to which they will be enslaved,' God said, 'and after that they shall leave the country and worship me in this place.'

I have seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and heard their groans, and I have come down to deliver them. Come now and I will send you into Egypt.'

This was the Moses who said to the people of Israel--'God will raise up for you, from among your brothers, a Prophet, as he raised up me.'

While they said to Aaron--'Make us Gods who will lead the way for us, since, as for this Moses who has brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

You took with you the tabernacle of Moloch and the Star of the god Rephan--the images which you had made to worship. Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon.'

'The heavens are a throne for me, and the earth a stool for my feet. What manner of House will you build me, says the Lord, or what place is there where I may rest?

"How can I," the other answered, "unless some one will explain it to me?" and he invited Philip to get up and sit by his side.

In his lowly condition justice was denied him. Who will tell the story of his generation? For his life is cut off from earth.'

"Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

I will myself show him all that he has to suffer for my Name."

Looking intently at it, I began to distinguish quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds;

For he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of Salvation to you and all your household.'

"You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the Devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert 'the straight paths of the Lord'? Listen!

The hand of the Lord is upon you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun." Immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went feeling about for some one to guide him.

After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him--'In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.'

As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said--'I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;'

And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said--'Thou wilt not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.'
