But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John's; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out-- the work that I am doing--is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his Messenger.

And his will is this--that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last Day.

Many of the people, however, believed in him. "When the Christ comes," they said, "will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?"

So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man; "What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?"

The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words--

For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.

For I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.

Even as thou gavest him power over all mankind, that he should give Immortal Life to all those whom thou has given him.

I have honored thee on earth by completing the work which thou has given me to do;

For I have given them the teaching which thou gavest me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from thee, and they believed that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.

I intercede for them; I am not interceding for the world, but for those whom thou has given me, for they are thy own--

Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of thy Name which thou has given me, that they may be one, as we are.

I have given them thy Message; and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

I have given them the honor which thou has given me, that they may be one as we are one--

"You would have no power over me at all," answered Jesus, "if it had not been given you from above; and, therefore, the man who betrayed me to you is guilty of the greater sin."

This is the statement of one who actually saw it--and his statement may be relied upon, and he knows that he is speaking the truth--and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.

Down to that day on which he was taken up to Heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the Apostles whom he had chosen.

And Salvation is in him alone; for there is no other Name in the whole world, given to men, to which we must look for our Salvation."

Even now, it is because of my hope in the promise given by God to our ancestors that I stand here on my trial--

For God has given all alike over to disobedience, that to all alike he may show mercy.

Or who has first given to him, so that he may claim a recompense?'

And as for us, it is not the Spirit of the World that we have received, but the Spirit that comes from God, that we may realize the blessings given to us by him.

For who makes any one of you superior to others? And what have you that was not given you? But if you received it as a gift, why do you boast as if you had not?

A woman's long hair is her glory? Her hair has been given her to serve as a covering.

For I myself received from the Lord the account which I have in turn given to you-how the Lord Jesus, on the very night of his betrayal, took some bread,

To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;

In the Church God has appointed, first, Apostles, secondly Preachers, thirdly Teachers; then he has given supernatural powers, then power to cure diseases, aptness for helping others, capacity to govern, varieties of the gift of 'tongues.'

And all of us, with faces from which the veil is lifted, seeing, as if reflected in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness, from glory to glory, as it is given by the Lord, the Spirit.

Indeed, we who still live are continually being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the Life also of Jesus may be exhibited in our mortal nature.

And he who has prepared us for this change is God, who has also given us his Spirit as a pledge.

Therefore I think it necessary to urge the Brothers to go to you in advance, and to complete the arrangements for the gift, which you have already promised, so that it may be ready, as a gift, before I come, and not look as if it were being given under pressure.
