When he said this one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus with his hand, saying: You answer the high priest! Jesus answered him: If I spoke evil, bear witness of the evil. But if I spoke honestly, why do you strike me?

Jesus spoke these things and lifted up his eyes to heaven. He said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that the son may glorify you. You have given him authority over all flesh that he may give everlasting life to the ones whom you have given him. This is everlasting life that they should have *deep, intimate knowledge of you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have commissioned. *(Greek: ginosko: know, perceive, be sure, understand) read more.
I glorified you on the earth. I accomplished the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me with you, the glory that I had with you before the world existed. I taught your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours and you gave them to me. They have lived by your word. Now they know that all things you gave me are from you. I gave them the words that you gave me. They understood them and knew I came from you. They believed you sent me. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world. I pray only for those you gave me, for they are yours. All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine and I am glorified in them. I am no more in the world but they are in the world. I come to you Holy Father. Keep them in your name, which you have given to me, that they may be one*, even as we are. *(Greek: heis; united in purpose and love) While I was with them I kept them in your name, which you have given to me. I guarded them, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. Now I come to you. I spoke these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. I gave them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jehovah said to me: 'They have spoken well. I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you. I will put my words in his mouth. He will speak to them all that I command him. Whoever refuses to listen to the words that the prophet speaks in my name will answer to me.

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. God does not give the spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

Who are you, they asked. Jesus replied: What have I been telling you from the beginning? I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. He that sent me is true. I tell the world the things he told me. They were not aware that he spoke to them about the Father. read more.
Jesus said: When you have lifted up (impaled) the Son of man you will know that I am that person. I do nothing by myself! I speak what the Father taught me! He sent me and is with me. He has not left me alone. I always do the things that are pleasing to him!

Jesus cried out: He, who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. He that sees me sees (perceives) (discerns) (experiences) the one who sent me. I have come as a light to the world. Everyone who believes in me will not remain in darkness. read more.
If any man hears my sayings and does not obey them I will not judge him. I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me and does not accept my message has one that judges him. The word (divine expression) (God's Word) that I spoke shall judge him now and in the last day. (Deuteronomy 18:19) I spoke not from myself but from the Father who sent me. He has given me a commandment concerning what I should say when I speak. I know that his commandment means everlasting life. Therefore I say the things the Father tells me to say.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator. He takes away the branches in me that do not bear fruit. He cleans every branch that bears fruit. That way it may bear more fruit. You are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain with me, and I with you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must remain on the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain with me. I am the vine and you are the branches. He that remains with me, and I with him, the same bears much fruit. You can do nothing apart from me. If a man does not remain with me, he is removed as a branch, and withers. They gather them and throw them into the fire where they are burned (destroyed) (consumed). If you remain with me, and my words remain with you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified when you bear much fruit. You will be my disciples. I love you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. If you obey my commandments you will remain in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I spoke these things in order that my joy may continue with you and your joy may be made full. This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. No man has greater love then this that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do the things that I command you. I no longer call you servants for the servant does not know what the lord does. I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

His disciples said: See now you speak plainly and use no figurative language. We are sure you know all things and have no need that any man ask you questions. Because of this we believe you came from God. Jesus asked them: Do you now believe? read more.
Behold! The hour comes, and indeed, it is here, that you will be scattered and each one will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I spoke to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you have tribulation. Be of good cheer for I have conquered the world!

The first account I composed, O Theophilus, was about all that Jesus did and taught, until the day he was received up to heaven. After that he gave orders through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering. He gave many convincing proofs. He appeared to them during forty days speaking about the kingdom of God.


Then he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles.

He presented himself alive to them after his suffering. He gave many convincing proofs. He appeared to them during forty days speaking about the kingdom of God. When they were gathered together he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem. They were to wait for the promise of the Father that he spoke about. John baptized with water; but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days, He said. read more.
When they met they asked him: Lord will you restore the kingdom to Israel at this time? He replied: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has set within His own authority. You will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

He fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
