¹² While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

⁹ (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

¹⁸ I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

³⁷ Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

²⁷ My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

²⁸ And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

³⁹ And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

⁴⁰ This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

⁶ Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

⁷ When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.

⁸ Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.

⁹ Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.

¹⁰ Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.

¹¹ Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.

¹² Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.

¹³ Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.

¹⁴ Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.

¹⁵ Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.

¹⁶ Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.

¹⁷ As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

¹⁸ He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

¹⁹ Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.

¹⁹ They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

³ Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

¹⁶ My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,

¹⁷ For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.

¹⁸ (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

²⁰ For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.

¹³ And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

²⁵ To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.

⁷⁰ Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

⁷¹ He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

²⁶ But Elijah was not sent to one of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷ And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.
