But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one. For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering. For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, read more.

Jesus spoke these words; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, in order that the Son may glorify thee: as thou didst give Him authority over all flesh, in order that whatsoever thou hast given unto Him, He may give unto them eternal life. But this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. read more.
I glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy word: now they know that all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee: because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. I pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine: and all mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I have been glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy complete in themselves. I have given unto them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I do not pray that you may take them out of the world, but that you may keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through the truth: thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world: and I sanctify myself in their behalf, in order that they may also be sanctified through the truth. And I not only pray for these, but also for those believing on me through their word; that they may all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me. Father, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me; I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love me may be in them, and I in them.

If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: read more.

Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready. The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.

Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad. Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Think the same thing among yourselves, which is also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not usurpation to be equal with God, but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man;

who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation, because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him; and he before all things, and all things consist in him:

Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil; and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death.

I glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy word: now they know that all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee: because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. I pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine: and all mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I have been glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy complete in themselves. I have given unto them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

And if any one may hear my words, and not keep them, I do not judge him: for I came not that I may judge the world, but that I may save the world. He that rejects me, and receiving not my words, has one judging him: the word which I have spoken, it will judge him in the last day. Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say. And I know that His commandment is eternal life.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not producing fruit, He takes it away: and every one producing fruit, He purifies it, that it may produce more fruit. So ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. read more.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me.

If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt. If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you. In this my Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: abide in my love. If you may keep my commandments, abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and I abide in His love. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you may love one another, as I loved you. No one has greater love than this, that he may lay down his soul for his friends. You are my friends, if you may do those things which I command you. No longer do I call you servants; because the servant knows not what his lord is doing: but I have called you friends; because all things which I heard with my Father, I made known unto you.

Truly, I made the first history, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach, from the day on which, having given commandment through the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom He had chosen, He was received up. To whom He also, after He suffered, manifested Himself alive in many testimonials, being seen by them forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life; and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us; that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us.

When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy complete in themselves. I have given unto them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I do not pray that you may take them out of the world, but that you may keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through the truth: thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world: and I sanctify myself in their behalf, in order that they may also be sanctified through the truth.

And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me. Father, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me; I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love me may be in them, and I in them.

I glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy word: now they know that all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee: because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. I pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine: and all mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I have been glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him. The one not loving me with divine love does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you: read more.
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things, which I spoke to you. My peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor afraid. You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you love me with divine love, you would rejoice, because I go to my Father: because the Father is greater than I. And I have now told you before it takes place, in order that, when it may come to pass, you may believe. I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me; but in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and as He commanded, so I am doing. Arise, let us go hence.

For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.

Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture. read more.
The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them: because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, that I may take it again.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not producing fruit, He takes it away: and every one producing fruit, He purifies it, that it may produce more fruit. So ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. read more.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me. I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without me. If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt. If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you. In this my Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: abide in my love.

Behold, I send you forth like sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Jesus having gone out departed from the temple, and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the temple. And responding, He said to them, Do you not see all these? Truly, I say unto you, that stone may not be left here upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And Jesus responding said to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and they will deceive many. And you will be about to hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not disturbed: for it behooveth all these things to be, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. And all these things are the beginning of travails. Then they will deliver you into tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name,

And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings!

And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives in front of the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, read more.

But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them.

And certain ones speaking concerning the temple, that it was ornamented with beautiful stones and offerings, He said, These things which you see, the days will come, in which stone will not be left upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And He said, See that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

Then He said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in divers places; and there shall be great terrors and signs from heaven. And before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you into their synagogues and prisons, led before kings and governors on account of my name.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.

Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready. The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.
