"Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

"I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word,

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 sent Me.

"The glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one;

I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and You loved them, just as You loved Me.

"Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

"Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way."

This took place so that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled: "Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."

So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, am I not to drink it?"

"Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said."

Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"

Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you about Me?"

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?"

So Pilate said to Him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"

Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Thinking that He was the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will take Him away."

Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be to you; just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
