His disciples remembered that Scripture said--'Zeal for thy House will consume me.'

I know that thou always headrest me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that thou has sent me as thy Messenger."

'Fear not, Daughter of Zion; Behold, thy King is coming to thee, Sitting on the foal of an ass.'

After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes heaven-wards, and said: "Father, the hour has come; honor thy Son, that thy Son may honor thee;

And the Immortal Life is this--to know thee the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent as thy Messenger.

And now do thou honor me, Father, at thy own side, with the honor which I had at thy side before the world began.

I have revealed thee to those whom thou gavest me from the world; they were thy own, and thou gavest them to me; and they have laid thy Message to heart.

For I have given them the teaching which thou gavest me, and they received it, and clearly understood that I came from thee, and they believed that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.

I intercede for them; I am not interceding for the world, but for those whom thou has given me, for they are thy own--

Now I am to be in this world no longer, but they are still to be in the world, and I am to come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by that revelation of thy Name which thou has given me, that they may be one, as we are.

I have given them thy Message; and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

Consecrate them by the Truth; thy Message is Truth.

Just as thou has sent me as thy Messenger to the world, so I send them as my Messengers to the world.

That they all may be one--that as thou, Father, art in union with us--and so the world may believe that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.

I in union with them and thou with me--that so they may be perfected in their union, and thus the world may know that thou hast sent me as thy Messenger, and that thou has loved them as thou hast loved me.

O righteous Father, though the world did not know thee, I knew thee; and these men knew that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.
