and said to them, &#8220;Whoever welcomes<n id="1" /> this child<n id="2" /> in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me, for the one who is least among you all is the one who is great.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,<n id="1" /> it would be better for him to have a huge millstone<n id="2" /> hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea.<n id="3" />

Day after day when I was with you in the temple courts,<n id="1" /> you did not arrest me.<n id="2" /> But this is your hour,<n id="3" /> and that of the power<n id="4" /> of darkness!&#8221;p>

Look at my hands and my feet; it&#8217;s me!<n id="1" /> Touch me and see; a ghost<n id="2" /> does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.&#8221;

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here.<n id="2" /> I<n id="3" /> have not come on my own initiative,<n id="4" /> but he<n id="5" /> sent me.

The one who rejects me and does not accept<n id="1" /> my words has a judge;<n id="2" /> the word<n id="3" /> I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;What I am saying does not refer to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture,<n id="1" /> &#8216;<b><i>The one who eats my breadi>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>has turned against mei>b>.&#8217;<n id="3" />

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known<n id="2" /> me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, &#8216;Show us the Father&#8217;?

I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> the person who believes in me will perform<n id="2" /> the miraculous deeds<n id="3" /> that I am doing,<n id="4" /> and will perform<n id="5" /> greater deeds<n id="6" /> than these, because I am going to the Father.

Remember what<n id="1" /> I told you, &#8216;A slave<n id="2" /> is not greater than his master.&#8217;<n id="3" /> If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed<n id="4" /> my word, they will obey<n id="5" /> yours too.

If I had not performed<n id="1" /> among them the miraculous deeds<n id="2" /> that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.<n id="3" /> But now they have seen the deeds<n id="4" /> and have hated both me and my Father.<n id="5" />

At that time<n id="1" /> you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="2" /> whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.<n id="3" />

I in them and you in me &#8211; that they may be completely one,<n id="1" /> so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.p>

Moses said, &#8216;<i><b>The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothersb>. <b>You must obeyb>i><n id="1" /> <b><i>him in everything he tells youi>b>.<n id="2" />

to open their eyes so that they turn<n id="1" /> from darkness to light and from the power<n id="2" /> of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share<n id="3" /> among those who are sanctified by faith in me.&#8217;p>

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them &#8211; yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling<n id="1" /> the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard<n id="2" /> me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me,

But<n id="1" /> he said to me, &#8220;My grace is enough<n id="2" /> for you, for my<n id="3" /> power is made perfect<n id="4" /> in weakness.&#8221; So then, I will boast most gladly<n id="5" /> about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in<n id="6" /> me.

When<n id="1" /> I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but<n id="2" /> he placed his right hand on me and said: &#8220;Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,
