This was to fulfill what he had said, "I did not lose a single one of those you gave me."

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said."

Jesus told him, "Is it because you've seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed!"

Now those who had gathered together began to ask Jesus, "Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?"

After saying this, Jesus was taken up while those who had gathered together were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

What benefit did you get from doing those things you are now ashamed of? For those things resulted in death.
