John 17:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

I have revealed Your name

to the men You gave Me from the world.

They were Yours, You gave them to Me,

and they have kept Your word.

And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.

But many of those who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about 5,000.

For I would not dare say anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient by word and deed,

but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith

among all nations—

To Timothy, my dearly loved son.

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
