She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

Thus the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you can do nothing. Look, the world has run off after him!”

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.

Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”

The one who loves his life destroys it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards it for eternal life.

On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.

“Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me,

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here.”

I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.

Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men know that you sent me.

For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

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.

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

Jesus said,] “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may gain their sight, and the ones who see may become blind.”
