17

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

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

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Remember Lot"s wife.

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
