And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses. And the sent and elders were gathered together to see about this word. And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe.

Therefore have we sent Judas and Silas, and these by the word announcing these things. For it seemed fitting to the Holy Spirit, and to us, for no more burden to be put upon you but the necessities of these; To keep off from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and strangulation, and harlotry: from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well.

I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me.

When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Render them holy in thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou sentest me into the world, I also sent them into the world. And for them I render myself holy, that they also be rendered holy in the truth; And I ask not for these alone, but also for them believing in me through their word; That all might be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that they also be one in us; that the world might believe that thou sentest me. And I, the honour which thou hast given me, have-given them; that they might be one, as we are one. I in them, and thou in me, that they might be perfected in one: and that the world might know that thou sentest me, and lovedst them, as thou lovedst me.
