The Diatessaron of Tatian

Section XLV.

[1, 2] [Arabic, p. 170] [3086]And one of his disciples was sitting[3087] in his bosom, he whom Jesus loved. [3088]To him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him who this was, concerning [3] whom he spake. [3089]And that disciple leaned[3090] on Jesus’ breast, and said unto him, [4] My Lord, who is this? [3091]Jesus answered and said, He to whom I shall dip bread, and give it. And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. [5] [3092]And after the bread, Satan entered him. And Jesus said unto him, What thou [6] desirest to do, hasten the doing of it. [3093]And no man of them that sat knew why he [7] said this unto him. [3094]And some of them thought, because Judas had the box, that he was bidding him buy what would be needed for the feast; or, that he might pay [8] something to the poor. [3095]Judas the betrayer answered and said, Can it be I, my [9] Master? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said. [3096]And Judas took the bread straightway, and went forth without: and it was still night.

[10] [3097]And Jesus said, Now is the Son of man being glorified,[3098] and God is being glorified[3099] [11] in him; [3100]and if God is glorified in him, God also will glorify him in him, and straightway will glorify him.

[12] [3101]And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and divided; [3102]and he [13] gave to his disciples, and said unto them, Take and eat; this is my body. [3103]And he [Arabic, p. 171] took a cup, and gave thanks, and blessed, and gave them, [3104]and said, Take [14, 15] and drink of it, all of you. [3105]And they drank of it, all of them. [3106]And he said unto them, [3107]This is my blood, the new covenant, that is shed for many for the [16] forgiveness of sins. [3108]I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this, the juice of the vine, until the day in which I drink[3109] with you new wine in the kingdom of [17] God. [3110]And thus do ye in remembrance of me. [3111]And Jesus said unto Simon, Simon, [18] behold, Satan asketh that he may sift you like wheat: [3112]but I entreat[3113] for thee, that thou lose not thy faith:[3114] and do thou, at some time, turn[3115] and strengthen thy brethren.

[19] [3116]My children, another little while am I with you. And ye shall seek me: and as [20] I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; I say unto you now also. [3117]A new commandment I give you, that ye may love one another; and as I have loved [21] you, so shall ye also love one another. [3118]By this shall every man know that ye are [22] my disciples, if ye have love one to another. [3119]Simon Cephas said unto him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered and said unto him, Whither I go, thou canst not now follow me; but later thou shalt come.

[23] [3120]Then said Jesus unto them, Ye all shall desert[3121] me this night:[3122] it is written, I [24] will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. [3123]But after my [25] rising, I shall go before you into Galilee. [3124]Simon Cephas answered and said unto [26] him, My Lord, if every man desert thee, I shall at no time desert thee. [3125]I am with thee ready for imprisonment and for death. [3126]And my life will I give up for thee. [27] [Arabic, p. 172] [3127]Jesus said unto him, Wilt thou give up thy life for me? [3128]Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Thou shalt to-day, during this night, before the cock crow [28] twice, three times deny me, that thou knowest me not. [3129]But Cephas said the more,[3130] Even if it lead to[3131] death with thee, I shall not deny thee, my Lord. And in like manner said all the disciples also.

[29] [3132]Then Jesus said unto them, Let not your hearts be troubled:[3133] believe in God, [30] and believe in me. [3134]The stations[3135] in my Father’s house are many, else I should [31] have told[3136] you. I[3137] go to prepare for you a place. [3138]And if I go to prepare for you a place, I shall return again, and take you unto me: and so where I am, there ye [32, 33] shall be also. [3139]And the place that I go ye know,[3140] and the way ye know.[3141] [3142]Thomas said unto him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how is the way for [34] us to the knowledge of that?[3143] [3144]Jesus said unto him, I am the way, and the truth, [35] and the life: and no man cometh unto my Father, but through me. [3145]And if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know[3146] him, [36] and have seen him. [3147]Philip[3148] said unto him, Our Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth [37] us. [3149]Jesus said unto him, Have I been all this time with you, and dost thou not know[3150] me, Philip?[3151] whosoever hath seen me hath seen the Father; how then sayest [38] thou, Shew us the Father? [3152]Believest thou not that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? and the saying that I say, I say not of myself: but my Father who dwelleth in [39] me, he doeth these deeds. [3153]Believe that I am in my Father, and my Father in me: [40] [Arabic, p. 173] or else believe for the sake of the deeds. [3154]Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me, the deeds that I do shall he do also; and [41] more than that shall he do: I go unto the Father. [3155]And what ye shall ask in my [42] name, I shall do unto you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. [3156]And if ye [43, 44] ask me[3157] in my name, I will do it. [3158]If ye love me, keep my commandments. [3159]And I will entreat of my Father, and he will send unto you another Paraclete, that he [45] may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: [3160]whom the world cannot receive; for it hath not seen him, nor known him: but ye know him; for he hath dwelt[3161] [46] with you, and is in you. [3162]I will not leave you orphans: I will come unto you. [47] [3163]Another little while, and the world seeth me not; but ye see me that I live, and ye [48] shall live also. [3164]And in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
