his teaching.

The one
who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal
myself to him.”

“If anyone loves me, he will obey
my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

my words. And the word
you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

John 17:11-12
17:11 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.
17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe
and watched over them
in your name
that you have given me. Not one
of them was lost except the one destined for destruction,
so that the scripture could be fulfilled.
