So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look, here is your son!”

He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.

So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”

Jesus told him, “Go home; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed along with his entire household.

Then they began asking him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too.”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you –

because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

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.

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.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

I tell you the solemn truth, when you were young, you tied your clothes around you and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up and bring you where you do not want to go.”
