I was sent by the father, and am come into the world: but now I leave the world, and am going to my father.

but, alas, the time is coming, yea, is already come, when ye shall be dispers'd every one to his own retreat, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the father is with me.

these things I have appriz'd you of, that ye might repose your confidence in me. the world shall give you trouble: but take courage, I have overcome the world.

"It is for them I pray: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, because they are thine.

and now I shall be no more in the world, but they will be in the world, when I am come to thee. holy father keep them by that authority, with which thou hast invested me, that they may be one, as we are.

I do not pray you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the malignity of it.

Pilate then said to them, take him your selves, and judge him according to your law. but the Jews said to him, it is not lawful for us to put any man to death.

but as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release the king of the Jews?

upon which they all cried out again: not him, but Barabbas. now Barabbas was a robber.

and went again into the Pretorium, and said to Jesus, who was your father? but Jesus gave him no answer.

upon this, Pilate propos'd to release him: but the Jews cried out, if you let this man go, you are not Cesar's friend: he that sets up for king, opposes Cesar.

but they cried out, away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, shall I crucify your king? the chief priests answered, we have no king but Cesar.
