2 glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as 3 many as thou hast given him. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.* 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine ownself, with the glory which I had with 6 thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: they were thine and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy 7 word. They now know that all things, what8 soever thou hast given me, are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst 9 send me. 1 pray for them I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; 10 for they are thine. And all mine are thine,

and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am to be no more in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be 12 one, as we are. Whilst I was with them in

the world, I kept them in thy name: those

*And Jesus, whom thou hast sent, to be the Christ, the Messiah. Campbell renders the last clause, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy apostle.

That is, the same doctrines and truths thou didst impart to me, I have made known to them.

that thou gavest me, I have kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that 13 the scripture might be fulfilled.* And now

I come to thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled inthem. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath

hated them, because they are not of the world, 15 evenas I am not of the world. Ipray not that thou

shouldest take them out of the world, but that 16 thou wouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the 17 world. Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word 18 is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they

also may be sanctified through the truth. 20 Nor do I pray for these only, but for them

also who shall believe on me through their 21 word; that they all may be one as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that 22 thou hast sent me. And the glory which

thou gavest me, I have given them; that they 23 may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast 24 loved me. Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before 25 the foundation of the world. O righteous

As the scriptures foretold, says Dr. Campbell.

Father, the world indeed hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known 26 that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it that the love wherewith thou hast loved me máy be in them, and I in them.

CHAP. XVIII.

1 WHEN Jesus had spoken these words, he went with his disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his 2 disciples. And Judas who betrayed him, knew the place for Jesus often resorted hither with 3 his disciples. Then Judas having received the band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and 4 torches, and weapons. And Jesus who knew all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto him, I am he. And Judas 6 also, who betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7 Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? 8 And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9 That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou gavest me, I have 10 lost none. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the high priest's servant,

and cut off his right ear. The servant's name 11 was Malchus. Then Jesus said unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not 12 drink it? Then the band, and the captain, and

officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound 13 him, and led him first to Annas (for he was

father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high 14 priest that year.) Now it was Caiaphas who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient one man should die for the people.

15

And Simon Peter and one other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into 16 the palace of the high priest.* But Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spake to her who kept the door, and 17 brought in Peter. Then the damsel who kept the door said unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. 18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

19

Then the high priest asked Jesus of his dis 20 ciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret

By "the other disciple," is meant John, who wrote this gospel. He was of a family of high birth: some relation of the high priest. His father had servants and vessels, &c, as we read in first chapter of Mark, 20th verse.

21 I have said nothing. Why askest thou me ? ask them who heard me, what I have said unto 22 them: behold they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high 23 priest so? Jesus replied, If I have spoken evil,

bear witness of the evil: but if well, why dost 24 thou smite me? (Now Annas had sent him 25 bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.) And

Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Then they said unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am 26 not. One of the servants of the high priest (being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did I not see thee in the garden with 27 him? Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crew.

Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment, while it was yet early; but they themselves went not into the judgmenthall, lest they should be defiled; but that they 29 might eat the passover. Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation do ye 30 bring against this man? They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 31 Then Pilate said unto them, Take ye him,

and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to 32 put any man to death:* That the saying of

This was true. The Romans had power in all capital offences. Yet the charge for which Christ was condemned, was preferred by the Jews, which was blasphemy.
