may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

If the world hate you, know that it hated me before you.

If ye were of the world, the world would have loved their own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Remember my word, which 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 word, they will also keep yours.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake: for they know not him that sent me.]

If I had not come and told them, they would have had no sin: but now they have nothing to excuse their sin.

He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man had done, they had not sinned: but now they have seen, and yet they hate both me and my Father.

But that the saying might be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hate me without a cause.

But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.

And ye also shall bear witness: for ye have been with me from the beginning.
(John)
Chapter 16
Of future persecution. Christ’s Ascent to the Father. The ministry of the Holy Spirit. The happy end of the tribulation. Answer to prayer. The disciples’ flight.

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

And they shall put you under a ban. But the time will come when he who kills you will think he is doing God a service.

And these things shall they do unto you, that they know not my Father, nor me.

But these things have I spoken unto you, that, when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you. But these things have I not told you from the beginning; for I was with you].

But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you ask me, Whither goest thou?

But because I have spoken these things unto you, your heart is filled with sorrow.

But I tell you the truth, it is good for you that I go. For if I go not, the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I go, I will send him unto you.

And when he shall come, he shall punish the world for sin, and for righteousness, and for judgment:

For sin, that they believe not on me;

But for righteousness, that I should go unto the Father, and ye should not see me henceforth; 11. For the judgment that the prince of this world is judged.

I have yet much to say unto you; but ye cannot bear it now.

But when he, the Spirit of truth, shall come, he shall guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and whatsoever is to come, that shall he declare unto you.

The same shall transfigure me: for of mine own shall he take, and declare it unto you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, He shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you].

Over a little one ye shall not see me; but over a little one ye shall see me: for I go unto the Father.

Then said some of his disciples one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, Over one ye shall not see me, but over a little ye shall see me, and that I go unto the Father?

Then said they: What is this that he saith, About a little one? We know not what he speaketh.

Then perceiving that they were desirous to ask him, Jesus saith unto them: Of these things ask ye one another, that I have said: Over a little one, ye shall not see me; but over a little one, ye shall see me.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall weep and wail; but the world shall rejoice. But ye shall be sorrowful: but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

A woman, when she beareth, hath sorrow: for her hour is come. But when she hath brought forth the child, she thinketh no more of sorrow for the joy that a man is born into the world.

And ye also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man shall take from you.

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing].

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it you.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

These things have I spoken unto you by proverbs. But the time cometh, that I will no more speak unto you by proverbs, but will freely declare unto you of my Father.

In that day ye shall ask in my name. And I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you; 27. For he himself, the Father, loveth you, because ye love me, and believe that I came forth from God.

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

His disciples say unto him, Behold, now speakest thou freely, and sayest no proverb.

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man ask thee. Therefore we believe that thou hast gone forth before God].

JEsus answered them: Now believe ye.

Behold, the hour cometh, and is come, that ye should be scattered every man to his own, and leave me alone. But I am not alone; for the Father is with me.

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye are afraid: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(John)
Chapter 17
Christ’s prayer for Himself, His disciples, church and community.

These things spake JEsus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is here, that thou shouldest glorify thy Son, that thy Son also should glorify thee, 2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he might give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

And this is life eternal, that they may know thee, that thou only art true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

I have glorified thee upon the earth, and Thou hast finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

And now thou, Father, glorify me with thine own self with the clearness which I had with thee before the world was.

I have manifested thy name unto men, whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them unto me; and they have kept thy word.

Now they know that all things which thou hast given me are of thee.

For the words which thou gavest me I have given them: and they have received them, and have known truly that I came forth from thee, and have believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them, and pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me: for they are thine.

And all that is mine is thine, And that which is thine is mine; and I am glorified in them.

And I am no more in the world: but they are in the world, and I come unto thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one like us.

While I was with them in the world, I preserved them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me I have preserved: and there is not one of them lost, save the child that is lost, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

But now I come unto thee, and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy made perfect in them.

I have given them thy word, and the world hateth them: for they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from evil.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them in thy truth: thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so send I them into the world.

I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

But I pray not for them only, but also for them which shall believe on me through their word, 21. That they 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 I have given them the glory which thou gavest me, that they may be one, even as we are one,

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, even as thou hast loved me.

Father, I will that where I am, they also which thou hast given me may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, the world knoweth not thee: but I know thee, and these
