Excerpt from The Final Passover, Vol. 2: A Series of Meditations Upon the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The discourses of our Lord and His great High-priestly prayer, given to us in St. John xv.-xvii., are so peculiar in their nature that they may well be treated somewhat differently from the rest of the narrative. Other scriptural teachings respecting the Passion do, indeed, contain mysteries which the human mind cannot fathom; but these three chapters stand by themselves, the utterance of the Eternal Word, manifestly inexhaustible in Divine power and scope in their applications, both individual and collective.
St. John seems to set them apart, as we might in modern times set apart some special subject, removing it from the body of the work to form a separate section or appendix.
This may perhaps help us to a conjecture as to the time at which the words were originally spoken.
