Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. read more.
And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved.

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name.

And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just. Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.
