John 17:20-25

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”   

John 17:14-19

14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.-

John 17:6-10

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

John 17:1-5

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour

has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all

flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you,

the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished

the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that

I had with you before the world existed.

John 16:31-33

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:25-28

25  “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of

language but will tell you plainly about my Father.  26  In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying

that I will ask the Father on your behalf.  27  No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved

me and have believed that I came from God.  28  I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am

leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

John 16:16-24

16  Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see

me.” 17  At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean … 19  Jesus saw that they

wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them,  20  Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while

the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.  21  A woman giving birth to a child has

pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy

that a child is born into the world.  22  So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and

you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.  23  In that day you will no longer ask me anything.

Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.  24  Until now you have not

asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John 16:8-15

  8  When he (the Advocate) comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness

and judgment:  9  about sin, because people do not believe in me;  10  about righteousness, because I am

going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;  11  and about judgment, because the prince of this

world now stands condemned. 12  “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.  13  But

when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he

will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.  14  He will glorify me because it is

from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.  15  All that belongs to the Father is

mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
