and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'

I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

`But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

`In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;'

They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.
