The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.

Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

And if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me judge together.

I am the One who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

“I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the One who sent Me is true, and what I have heard from Him—these things I tell the world.”

“When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

“But now I am going away to Him who sent Me, and not one of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.

and the One You have sent—Jesus Christ.

I have given them.
They have received them
and have known for certain
that I came from You.

so the world may believe You sent Me.

I am in them and You are in Me.
May they be made completely one,
so the world may know You have sent Me
and have loved them as You have loved Me.

The world has not known You.
However, I have known You,
and these have known that You sent Me.
