verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

These things have I spoken unto you in parables; the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in parables, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

His disciples said, Lo, now speakest thou plainly unto us, and speakest no parable. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: yet am I not alone, because the Father is with me.

JOHN XVII

Then Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said:

Father, the hour is come! glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee: even as thou gavest him authority, that to all whom thou hast

given him, he should give eternal life. And this is life eternal, that they should know thee, the only true God, and him whom thou didst send. I glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world

was.

I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee; for I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world; and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them. But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou take them from

the world, but that thou keep them from evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me. And I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

JOHN XIV, XX

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; I will not leave you desolate;

but ye behold me.

I come unto you. In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. If any man loveth me, I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.

When therefore Jesus was risen from the dead, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had said this, he manifested unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciple therefore came and told him, saying, We have seen the Lord! But Thomas said unto them, Except I myself shall see in his hands the prints of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Now after eight days again the disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God! Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

THE ACTS

OF THE APOSTLES

ACTS II

Now when the day of Pentecost was fully come, the apostles were all with one accord in one place. And they went up into the upper chamber; and were continuing stedfastly with one accord in prayer. And suddenly there came

a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And

Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem devout men, out of every nation under heaven. when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were astonished, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we do
