I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and 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 also are. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them. I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world: and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth. And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word, that all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we are one, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; and, righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me.

Self-righteousness » Instances of » Pharisees
No one lights a candle and puts it in a secret place, or under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, that all who go in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body is light; but when your eye is evil, your whole body is dark. See, therefore, that the light which is in you be not darkness. read more.
If, therefore, your whole body is light, not having any part dark, the whole will be light, as when a candle lights you clearly. And when he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him; and he went in and immediately sat down. And the Pharisee seeing him, wondered that he was not first baptized before breakfast. And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and plate, but your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. Senseless men! did not he that made the outside make also the inside? But give the things within in charity, and behold, all things are pure to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every kind of plant, and omit justice and the love of God. These things you ought to do, and not to omit those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the first seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. Woe to you! for you are like concealed tombs; and men walk over them and know it not. And one of the lawyers answered and said to him, Teacher, in saying these things you reproach us also. And he said, Woe to you, lawyers! for you load men with burdens difficult to be borne, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them; therefore you are witnesses, and approve the deed of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build. Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute, that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out since the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you forbid those entering. And when he had gone out thence the scribes and Pharisees were extremely angry, and questioned him on many subjects, watching him, to catch something from his mouth.

They answered him, We are children of Abraham, and were never in servitude to any one; how say you, You shall become free? Jesus answered them, I tell you most truly, that every one who commits sin is a servant of the sin. But the servant continues not in the house for ever; the Son continues for ever. read more.
If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are children of Abraham; but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you. What I have seen with my Father I speak, and you also do what you have heard from your father. They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were children of Abraham, you would have done the works of Abraham; but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this. You do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born by fornication, we have one father, God. Jesus said to them, If God was your father you would have loved me; for I came forth and come from God; for I came not of myself, but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speech? because you cannot hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and stood not by the truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own; for he is a liar, and the father of him [that lies]. But because I tell you the truth you believe me not. Who of you convicts me of a sin? If I say the truth, why do you not believe me? He that is of God hears the words of God; you, therefore, hear not, because you are not of God. The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon? Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. But I seek not my glory; there is one that seeks and judges. I tell you most truly, if any one shall keep my word he shall never see death. The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom do you make yourself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, He is our God; and you have not known him, but I have known him; and if I should say I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I know him and keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad. Then the Jews said to him, You have not yet fifty years, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am. Then they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

They reproached him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man is. The man answered and said to them, It is a strange thing, that you know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes. read more.
We know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind; unless this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing. They answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him without.
