1. 0. Greeting

[[1 John 14.21]] Whosoever has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will 2 show myself unto him. [[John 14.22]] Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, My Lord, what is the 3 purpose of your intention to show yourself to us, and not to the world? [[John 14.23]] Jesus answered and said to him, Whosoever loves me will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and to him will we come, and make our abode with him. 4 [[John 14.24]] But he that loves me not keeps not my word: and this word that you hear is not my word, but the Father's which sent me.

5, 6 [[John 14.25]] This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you. [[John 14.26]] 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. [[John 14.27]] Peace I leave you; my peace I give unto you: and not as this world gives, give I unto you. 8 [[John 14.28]] Let your heart not be troubled, nor fearful. You heard that I said to you, that I go away, and come unto you. If ye loved me, you would rejoice, that I go away to my 9 Father: for my Father is greater than I. [[John 14.29]] And now I say unto you before it come 10 to pass, that, when it comes to pass, you may believe me. [[John 14.30]] Now I will not speak with you much: the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in 11 me: [[John 14.31]] a but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.

12 [[Luke 22.35]] And he said to them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes, 13 lacked ye perchance anything? They said to him, Nothing. [[Luke 22.36]] He said to them, Henceforth, whosoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise the wallet also: and whosoever has not a sword, shall sell his garment, and buy for himself a 14 sword. [[Luke 22.37]] I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned with the transgressors: for all that is said of me is fulfilled in 15 me. [[Luke 22.38]] His disciples said to 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 [[John 15.1]] And he said to them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 18 [[John 15.2]] Every branch that produces not fruit in me, he takes it: and that which gives fruit, 19 he cleanses it, that it may give much fruit. [[John 15.3]] You are already clean because of the word 20 that I have spoken unto you. [[John 15.4]] 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 you abide not in me. [[John 15.5]] I am the vine, and you are the branches: He then that abides
