Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me-or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you.

You heard Me say, 'I am going away, and I am coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.

I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit 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.

in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;

Then some of His disciples asked one another, "Why is He telling us, 'In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"

In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

"Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

But now I am coming to You, and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

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

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
