I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

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

"I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,

that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

They replied, "Jesus the Nazarene." He told them, "I am he." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)

So when Jesus said to them, "I am he," they retreated and fell to the ground.

Jesus replied, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go."

But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?"

The girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You're not one of this man's disciples too, are you?" He replied, "I am not."

Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing in the courtyard warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" Peter denied it: "I am not!"

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Then Pilate said, "So you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world—to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him."

Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, ‘The king of the Jews,' but rather, ‘This man said, I am king of the Jews.'"

After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), "I am thirsty!"

Jesus replied, "Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

Simon Peter told them, "I am going fishing." "We will go with you," they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
