united with me and my words remain in you, ask whatever
you will and you shall have it. It is by your bearing much fruit and
being my true disciples that my Father is glorified. As the Father has
loved me, so have I also loved you; continue in my love. If you keep my
commands, you will continue in my love, even as I have kept my Father's
commands and continue in his love.

"I have told you all this that my joy may be yours, and that your joy
may be complete. This is my command: 'Love one another even as I have
loved you.' No man has greater love than that which leads him to lay
down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do whatever I
command you. I call you servants no longer, for the servant does not
know what his master does; but I call you friends, for I have told you
everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me, but
I chose you and appointed you to bear fruit that will remain, so that
whatever you ask of the Father in my name he will give you."

JESUS IS SEIZED BY THE MOB

When Jesus and his disciples came to a certain place called Gethsemane,
he said to them, "Sit here while I pray"; but he took with him Peter and
James and John. And as he suffered greatly from deep sorrow, he said to
them, "My heart is heavy with sadness. Stay here and watch." Then he
went forward a short distance and threw himself on the ground and prayed
that if possible he might be spared this agony, saying, "Father, with
thee all things are possible. Take away this cup of agony from me. Yet
not my will, but thy will be done."

When he came back, he found his disciples asleep; and he said to Peter,
"Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch for one hour? Watch and pray
that you may overcome temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the
body is weak." Again he went away and prayed the same prayer. And when
he returned, again he found them asleep, for they were very drowsy; and
they did not know what to say to him. Then he came the third time and
said to them, "Sleep on now and take your rest. It is enough; the hour
has come; already the Son of Man has been betrayed into the hands of
wicked men. Rise, let us go; for here is the one who has betrayed me."

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up,
followed by a mob with swords and clubs, who had come from the high
priests and the scribes and the elders. Judas had arranged a signal: "He
whom I shall kiss," he said, "is the man.
