So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard my prayer;

'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.

I have honored thee on earth by completing the work which thou has given me to do;

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.

They recognize now that everything that thou gavest me was from thee;

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.

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.

But now I am to come to thee; and I am speaking thus, while still in the world, that they may have my own joy, in all its fullness, in their hearts.

I do not ask thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from Evil.

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.

I have made thee known to them, and will do so still; that the love that thou has had for me may be in their hearts, and that I may be in them also."
