“I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you.

They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God.

Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.

I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

Jesus said, “This voice has not come for my benefit but for yours.

“I give you a new commandment – to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

“Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love.

My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you.

“If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first.

But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?

Jesus replied, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?”
