Amen, amen, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; nor (is) the apostle greater than he who sent him.

Not of all of you do I speak; for I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, that he who eateth bread with me hath lifted against me his heel.

These said Jeshu, and was agitated in his spirit, and testified, and said, Amen, amen, I say to you, That one of you shall betray me.

Now there was of his disciples one who reclined on his bosom; he whom Jeshu loved.

And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.

If my commandments you will keep, you shall abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and abide in his love.

Love which is greater than this is not, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

No more I call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what doeth his Lord; but my friends have I called you; wherefore all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.

Remember the word which I spake with you, That there is no servant who is greater than his lord. If me they have persecuted, you also will they persecute; and if my word they had kept, yours also would they keep.

His disciples say to him, Behold, now openly speakest thou, and not one parable hast thou spoken.

Behold, the hour shall come, and now cometh, that you will be dispersed (every) man to his place, and you will have left me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

These spake Jeshu; and, uplifting his eyes to heaven, he said, My Father, the hour hath come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

THESE said Jeshu, and went forth with his disciples over the ford of Kedrun, where there was a garden, which he entered with his disciples.

But Jihuda, the traitor, also knew that place, because many-a-time had Jeshu there with his disciples convened.

But Shemun Kipha had a sword upon him, and he drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear.

And the high priest questioned Jeshu concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine.

And as these (words) he spake, one of the officers who stood (by) struck Jeshu upon his cheek, and said to him, Thus givest thou the answer to the chief of the priests ?

And Shemun Kipha stood and warmed (himself), and they say to him, Thou art also one of his disciples ? And he denied and said, I am not.

And the soldiers entwined a crown of thorns, and set it on his head; and they covered him with robes of purple,

and said, Hail to thee, King of the Jihudoyee ! and struck him upon his cheeks.
