synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

XVI. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things have I told you, that, when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me ;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Ofjudgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them

now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will show you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me and again a little while, and

ye shall see me; because I go to the Father.

XVI. 17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith; A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father,

alone; and ends by saying that Jesus Christ is only His messenger. Jesus thus distinctly teaches MONOTHEISM.

and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

XVI. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 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.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with

me.

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

XVII. 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (w).'

Instead of this, he pointedly says that THE FATHER IS THE ONE ONLY TRUE GOD. Paul further enforces the same doctrine on the Galatians by saying, in words which have virtually the same meaning: 'THE GOD IS ONE,' that is, He is a UNITY, not a Trinity.

This is the very belief which Paul informs the Corinthians every Christian must hold: 'To US THERE IS BUT ONE GOD, THE FATHER.'-1 Cor. viii. 6. Had Christians been intended to be- We must remember that it was to lieve in a Trinity, Paul would not put an end to the universal heathen have used these words, which pointedly belief in a trinity of chief gods, and exclude the Son and the Holy Spirit, in an endless list of inferior gods, that but he would have written: "To us Jehovah revealed Himself to the Jews there is one God, consisting of the as the one only true God: 'Know Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.' therefore this day, and consider in
