These things have I written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatsoever we ask according to his will, he heareth us. And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, from him.
But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one who asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him. Therefore I say unto you, That all things whatever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be given you.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence towards God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight.

Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest. But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little boy, and set him by his side, and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.
But whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven. Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth: I came not to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. read more.
And the enemies of a man shall be those of his own house. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

AT that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is indeed the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. read more.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it. A man was sent from God, whose name was John. He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light. He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him. But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits.

THEN after these things the Lord appointed other seventy persons also, and sent them, two and two before his face, into every city and place, whither he himself designed to go.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation. I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone? Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
