be attach'd to me, and I shall be so to you. as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, except it be attach'd to the vine: so neither can you, except you continue attach'd to me.

as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me.

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.

remember what I told you, "the servant is not greater than his master." if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have been spies upon my discourse, they will be so upon yours.

so that the passage is fulfilled that is written in their law , "they hated me without a cause."

but these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.

are your minds so overwhelm'd with sorrow at what I told you?

so you are afflicted at present: but I will see you again, and then shall your hearts be affected with joy, and your joy shall no one wrest from you.

as thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

so that what Jesus had said, to signify the death he should die, was actually accomplished.

so Jesus marched out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. and Pilate said to them, here's the man.

upon which he delivered him up to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took Jesus and led him away.

they said therefore among themselves, let us not rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: so that the scripture was fulfilled, which said , "they parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots." this was what the soldiers actually did.

he that relates this, was an eye-witness of it, and his relation is true: and he is so assured, what he says is true, that you may rely upon it.

after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a conceal'd one, pray'd Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave: so he went and took the body of Jesus.
