The Diatessaron of Tatian
[1] [3165]Whosoever hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will [2] shew myself unto him. [3166]Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, My Lord, what is the [3] purpose of thy intention to shew thyself to us, and not to the world? [3167]Jesus answered and said unto him, Whosoever loveth me will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and to him will we come, and make our[3168] abode with him. [4] [3169]But he that loveth me not keepeth not my word: and this word that ye hear is not my word, but the Father’s which sent me.
[5, 6] [3170]This have I spoken unto you, while I was yet with you. [3171]But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, he will teach you everything, and [7] [Arabic, p. 174] he will bring to your remembrance all that I say unto you. [3172]Peace I leave you; my peace I give unto you: and not as this world giveth, give I unto you. [8] [3173]Let your heart not be troubled,[3174] nor fearful. Ye heard that I said unto you, that I go away, and come unto you. If[3175] ye loved me, ye would rejoice, that I go away to my [9] Father: for my Father is greater than I. [3176]And now I say unto you before it come [10] to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe me. [3177]Now I will not speak with you much: the Archon of the world will come, and he will have nothing in [11] me: [3178]but that the world may know that I love my Father, and as my Father charged me, so I do.
[12] [3179]And he said unto them, When I sent you without purses, or wallets, and shoes,[3180] [13] lacked ye perchance anything? They said unto him, Nothing. [3181]He said unto them, Henceforth, whosoever hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise the wallet also: and whosoever hath not a sword, shall sell his garment, and buy for himself a [14] sword. [3182]I say unto you, that this scripture also must be fulfilled in me, that I should be reckoned[3183] with the transgressors: for all that is said of me is fulfilled in [15] me. [3184]His disciples said unto him, Our Lord, lo, here are two swords. He said [16] unto them, They are sufficient. [3185]Arise, let us go hence. And they arose, and praised, and went forth, and went, according to their custom, to the mount of Olives, he and his disciples.
[17] [3186]And he said unto them, I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [18] [3187]Every branch that produceth not fruit in me, he taketh it: and that which giveth fruit, [19] he cleanseth it, that it may give much fruit. [3188]Ye are already clean because of the word [20] that I have spoken unto you. [3189]Abide in me, and I in you. And as the branch of the [Arabic, p. 175] vine cannot produce fruit of itself, if it be not abiding in the vine; so too ye [21] also, if ye abide not in me. [3190]I am the vine, and ye are the branches: He then that abideth in me, and I in him, he giveth much fruit: for without me ye cannot [22] do anything. [3191]And if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, like a withered [23] branch; and it is gathered, and cast[3192] into the fire, that it may be burned. [3193]If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, everything that ye desire to ask shall be [24] done unto you. [3194]And herein is the Father glorified, that ye may give much fruit; [25] and ye shall be my disciples. [3195]And as my Father loved me, I loved you also: [26] abide in my love. [3196]If ye keep my commands, ye shall abide in my love; as I have [27] kept my Father’s commands, and abode in his love. [3197]I have spoken that unto you, [28] that my joy[3198] may be in you, and your joy[3199] be fulfilled. [3200]This is my commandment, [29] that ye love one another, as I loved you. [3201]And no love is greater than this, namely, [30] that a man should give his life for his friends. [3202]Ye are my friends, if ye do all that [31] I command you. [3203]I call you not now servants; for the servant knoweth not whathis lord doeth: my friends have I now called you; for everything that I heard from [32] my Father I have made known unto you. [3204]Ye did not choose[3205] me, but I chose I you, and appointed you, that ye also should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should[3206] [33] abide; and that all that ye shall ask my Father in my name, he may[3207] give you. [3208]This [34] I command[3209] you, that ye love one another. [3210]And if the world hate you, know that [35] before you it hated me. [3211]If then ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but ye are not of the world: I chose you out of the world: therefore the world [36] [Arabic, p. 176] hateth you. [3212]Remember the word that I said unto you, that no servant is greater than his lord. And if they persecuted[3213] me, you also will they [37] persecute;[3214] and if they kept my word, your word also will they keep. [3215]But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, for they have not known[3216] him [38] that sent me. [3217]And if I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: [39] but now they have no excuse for their sins. [3218]Whosoever hateth me, also hateth my [40] Father. [3219]And if I had not done the deeds before them that no other man did, they would not have had sin: but now they have seen and hated me and my Father [41] also: that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, [3220]They hated me for [42] nothing. [3221]But when the Paraclete is come, whom I will send unto you from my Father, even the Spirit of truth, which goeth forth from my Father, he shall bear witness of [43] me: [3222]and ye also bear witness, because from the beginning ye have been with me.
[44, 45] [3223]I have said that unto you, that ye may not stumble.[3224] [3225]And they shall put you out of their synagogues: and there cometh an[3226] hour when every one that killeth [46] you shall think that he hath offered unto God an offering. [3227]And they will do that, [47] because they do not know me, nor my Father. [3228]I have said that unto you, so that [48] when its time is come, ye may remember it, that I told you. [3229]And this hitherto I said not unto you, because I was with you. But[3230] now I go unto him that sent me; and no [49] man of you asketh me whither I go. [3231]I have said that unto you now, and grief hath [50] come and taken possession of your hearts [3232]But I say the truth unto you; It is better[3233] for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come unto you; [51] [Arabic, p. 177] but if I go away, I will send him unto you. [3234]And when he cometh, he will reprove the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgement: [52, 53] for sin, [3235]because they have not believed in me; [3236]and for righteousness, because I go [54] to my Father; [3237]and for judgement, because[3238] the Archon of this world hath been [55] judged. [3239]And further have I many things to speak unto you, but ye cannot tarry[3240] [56] now. [3241]Howbeit[3242] when the Spirit of truth is come, he will remind[3243] you of all the truth: he will say nothing from himself; but everything that he heareth, that shall [57] he say: and he shall make known unto you the things that are to be. [3244]And he shall [58] glorify me; for from me shall he take and shew you. [3245]All that my Father hath is mine: therefore said I unto you, that he taketh[3246] of mine, and shall shew[3247] you.
