The same discourse continued. John xiv.

· Divine Peace promised to CHRIST'S Disciples.

PEACE I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may

know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

We must love one another.

THIS is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;

for

all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have hosen me, but I have

and

chosen you, and ordained you, that that ye should go bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command ye love one another.

Our Saviour prayeth for his Disciples.
John xvii.

That they may know the only true
GOD and JESUS CHRIST.

THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee; as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as as many as thou hast given him. And

this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: 1 have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world; and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name, those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are

Cotinuation of our Saviour's prayer for them. John xvii.

That they may be kept holy.

WHILE I Was with them

in the world, I kept them

in thy name: those that thou gavest me, I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent
