I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, Father, glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have made known thy name to the men that thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them, to me, and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things that thou hast given me are from thee; for the words which thou gavest me I have given them; and they have received them, and they know surely that I came forth from thee, and they believe that thou didst send me. I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me, I have kept; and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the Evil One. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, so I send them into the world; and for them I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth. I pray, not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they 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, as we are one; I in them, and thou ID me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I wish that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,

Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not.

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to take them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was committed, (and the scripture can not be made void,) do you say of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You speak impiously, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that the Son of man must be glorified. Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life. read more.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
