that they may be one, even as we are one:
(23)I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as
thou hast loved me. (24)Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will
that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my
glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the
foundation of the world.
(25)Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have
known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. (26)And I have
made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook
Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his
disciples. (2)Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for

therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away: (9)that the
saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast
given me, I have not lost one of them.
(10)Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of
the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was
Malchas. (11)Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the
scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
(12)The band therefore, and the chief captain, and the inferior
officers of the Jews, seized on Jesus, and bound him, (13)and led him
away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the
