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 manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.

And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

Then those that received his word were baptized, and there were added on that day about three thousand souls;

But many of those that heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.

for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,

but made manifest now by the scriptures of the prophets, by the command of the eternal God, for the obedience of the faith among all nations,

to Timothy my beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
