My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them from my Father’s hand.

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, so that they could arrest him.)

For I have not spoken from my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.

Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

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 am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.

When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest’s officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, “Is that the way you answer the high priest?”

and he went back into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus answered her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

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.

Surely you’re not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock.”

Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”

Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.

Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner.”

Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.)

At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

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.

But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
