art thou then Elias? said they; and he answer'd, I am not. art thou a prophet? and he answer'd, no.

said they to him, who then art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us: what sayst thou of thy self?

I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit."

and he brought him to Jesus. and when Jesus beheld him, he said, "thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

Nathanael answered, rabbi, thou art the son of God, thou art the king of Israel.

Jesus answered him, because thou believest what I said, that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou shalt see greater things than these.

to this said the Jews, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him.

then said they to him, what art thou? and Jesus answered them, I am what I just now told you.

then they reviled him, and said, thou art his disciple; but we are Moses disciples.

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

do you believe this? yes, Lord, said Martha, I believe that thou art the Messiah the son of God, who was to come into the world.

then they took away the stone from the place where the corps was laid. and Jesus lifting up his eyes to heaven said, "father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

I know that thou hearest me always: but I say this, because of the people here present, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

Jesus answered him, you lay down your life for my sake! Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

for thou hast given him power over all men, that he might give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

and this is life eternal, to acknowledge thee to be the only true God, and Jesus to be the Messiah whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

for I have given to them the instructions which you gave me; and they have received them; and have sincerely believ'd that I came from thee, and are persuaded that thou didst send me.

"It is for them I pray: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, because they are thine.

and now I shall be no more in the world, but they will be in the world, when I am come to thee. holy father keep them by that authority, with which thou hast invested me, that they may be one, as we are.

as thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

that they all may be one, as thou, father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

and the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may have a perfect union, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am going; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; yet,

O righteous father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

to them I have declared thy name, and will declare it: that thou mayst love them as thou hast loved me, and I have loved them."

so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."

Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so?

as Simon Peter then stood there warming himself: they said to him, art not thou also one of his disciples? which he denied, and said, I am not.

Pilate answered, am I a Jew? your own nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

Jesus said to him, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.
