WHY JESUS MATTERS NOW EPISODE 17 OF 30
A New Commandment
John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.’
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where go you?
Jesus answered him, ‘Where I go, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.’
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
38 Jesus answered him, ‘Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say unto you, the cock shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice.’
Luke 22:35-38 - And he said unto them, ‘When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack any thing?’
And they said, ‘Nothing.’
36 Then said he unto them, ‘But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, ‘And he was reckoned among the transgressors’: for the things concerning me have an end.’
38 And they said, ‘Lord, behold, here are two swords.’
And he said unto them, ‘It is enough.’
Jesus’ Last Passover Before His Crucifixion
Matthew 26:26-29 - And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink you all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom.’
John 14:1 ‘Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. 7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him.’
8 Philip said unto him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.’
9 Jesus said unto him, ‘Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
‘If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments!’
John 14:15 - If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, so he may abide with you forever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. 20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you are in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.’
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, ‘Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?’
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my sayings, and the word which you hear is not my, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: but not as the world gives unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go now.’
‘I Am the True Vine; Abide in Me.’
John 15:1 - ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that lives in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
6 If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love.
Love One Another
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
I Have Chosen You
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 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, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, “The servant is not greater than his lord.” If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Jesus Warns His Disciples
John 16:1 - ‘These things have I spoken unto you, that you should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, “Where are you going?”
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin (committed), because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness (forfeited), because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; 11 Of judgment (coming), because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of me and shall show it unto you. 15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he shall take of me, and shall show it unto you.
Jesus’ Final Instructions before His Death
John 16:16 - ‘A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.’
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, ‘What is this that he said unto us, ‘A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, ‘Because I go to the Father?’ 18 They said therefore, ‘What is this that he said, ‘A little while? We cannot tell what he meant.’
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, ‘Do you enquire among yourselves of that I said, “A little while, and you shall not see me”: and again, “A little while, and you shall see me?”
20 Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
‘Ask… So Your Joy May Be Full.’
23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 You have never asked anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loves you because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.’
29 His disciples said unto him, ‘Lo, now you speak plainly, and speak no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.’
31 Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.’
The Real Lord’s Prayer
John 17:1 - These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, ‘Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you: 2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was. 6 I have manifested your name unto the men which you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you. 8 For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
10 And all mine are yours and yours are mine and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me; that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.'
A New Commandment
John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.’
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where go you?
Jesus answered him, ‘Where I go, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.’
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
38 Jesus answered him, ‘Will you lay down your life for my sake? Truly, truly, I say unto you, the cock shall not crow, till you have denied me thrice.’
Luke 22:35-38 - And he said unto them, ‘When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack any thing?’
And they said, ‘Nothing.’
36 Then said he unto them, ‘But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, ‘And he was reckoned among the transgressors’: for the things concerning me have an end.’
38 And they said, ‘Lord, behold, here are two swords.’
And he said unto them, ‘It is enough.’
Jesus’ Last Passover Before His Crucifixion
Matthew 26:26-29 - And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink you all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom.’
John 14:1 ‘Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus said unto him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. 7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him.’
8 Philip said unto him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.’
9 Jesus said unto him, ‘Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say then, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Truly, truly, I say unto you, he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
‘If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments!’
John 14:15 - If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, so he may abide with you forever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. 20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you are in me, and I in you.
21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.’
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said unto him, ‘Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself unto us, and not unto the world?’
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my sayings, and the word which you hear is not my, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: but not as the world gives unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go now.’
‘I Am the True Vine; Abide in Me.’
John 15:1 - ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that lives in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
6 If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love.
Love One Another
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
I Have Chosen You
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 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, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, “The servant is not greater than his lord.” If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Jesus Warns His Disciples
John 16:1 - ‘These things have I spoken unto you, that you should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, “Where are you going?”
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin (committed), because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness (forfeited), because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; 11 Of judgment (coming), because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of me and shall show it unto you. 15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he shall take of me, and shall show it unto you.
Jesus’ Final Instructions before His Death
John 16:16 - ‘A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.’
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, ‘What is this that he said unto us, ‘A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, ‘Because I go to the Father?’ 18 They said therefore, ‘What is this that he said, ‘A little while? We cannot tell what he meant.’
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, ‘Do you enquire among yourselves of that I said, “A little while, and you shall not see me”: and again, “A little while, and you shall see me?”
20 Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
‘Ask… So Your Joy May Be Full.’
23 And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 You have never asked anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loves you because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.’
29 His disciples said unto him, ‘Lo, now you speak plainly, and speak no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.’
31 Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour comes, yes, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.’

John 17:1 - These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, ‘Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you: 2 As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was. 6 I have manifested your name unto the men which you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept your word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you. 8 For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are yours.
10 And all mine are yours and yours are mine and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those whom you have given me; that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.'
