Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

Now, is my soul troubled, - and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!

Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

Judas (not the Iscariot) saith unto Him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thy self to us, and not to the world?

And the Immortal Life is this--to know thee the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent as thy Messenger.

And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

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

And, all my possessions, are, thine, and, thy possessions, mine, and I have been glorified in them.

That they all may be one--that as thou, Father, art in union with us--and so the world may believe that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.

I in union with them and thou with me--that so they may be perfected in their union, and thus the world may know that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger, and that thou has loved them as thou hast loved me.

Father, it is my will that these, thy gift to me, may be beside me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me, because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, though the world did not know thee, I knew thee; and these men knew that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
