Book of Common Prayer

²⁰ Truly truly I say to you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me. And he who receives me, receives him who sent me.

²¹ When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in the spirit and testified, saying, Truly truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

²² And then the disciples looked on one another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ There was one of his disciples who leaned on Jesus’ bosom, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter motioned to him, that he should ask of whom he spoke. ²⁵ He then, as he leaned on Jesus’ breast, said to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I give a sop when I have dipped it. And he wet a sop and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. ²⁷ And after the sop, Satan entered into him.

Then Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do quickly.

²⁸ But no one at the table understood for what intent he spoke to him. ²⁹ Some of them thought that because Judas had the bag, Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we need for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰ As soon then as he had received the sop, Judas went immediately out. And it was night. ³¹ When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified by him. ³² If God is glorified by him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will straightaway glorify him.

³³ Dear children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, where I am going, you cannot come. ³⁴ Also I say to you now, a new commandment I give to you: to love together. As I have loved you, so also should you love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

To love God is to keep his commandments. Faith overcomes the world. Everlasting life is in the Son of God. Of the sin unto death.

5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves him who begat, loves also the child who was born of him. ² In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. ³ This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not grievous. ⁴ For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is it that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ This Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood – not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. ⁷ (For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.) ⁸ And there are three which bear witness (in earth): the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three are one. ⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God, which he testified of his Son. ¹⁰ He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself.  He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son. ¹¹ And this is that testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God, does not have life.
