I am praying not only for these disciples
but also for all who will ever believe in me
through their message.
I pray that they will all be one,
just as you and I are one—
as you are in me,
Father,
and I am in you.
And may they be in us
so that the world will believe you sent me.
(Mykonos, Greece)
Now I am departing from the world;
they are staying in this world,
but I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
you have given me your name;
now protect them by the power of your name
so that they will be united just as we are.
During my time here,
I protected them by the power of the name
you gave me.
(The Windstar on the Aegean Sea)
But for those who are righteous,
the way is not steep and rough.
You are a God who does what is right,
and you smooth out the path ahead of them.
Isaiah 26:7
(Mykenos, Greece)
You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the LORD always,
for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock.
Remember the things I have done in the past.
for I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
And then he told them,
“Go into all the world
and preach the Good News to everyone.
Anyone who believes
and is baptized will be saved.
But anyone who refuses to believe
will be condemned.“
…but the angel said,
“Don’t be alarmed.
You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,
who was crucified.
He isn’t here!
He is risen from the dead!…”
…”Are you the Messiah,
the Son of the Blessed One?”
Jesus said,
“I AM.
And you will see the Son of Man
seated in the place of power at God’s right hand
and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Jesus asked them,
“Am I some dangerous revolutionary,
that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me?
Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple?
I was there among you teaching every day.
But these things are happening
to fulfill what the Scriptures say about me.”
God sent a man,
John the Baptist,
to tell about the light
so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.
John himself was not the light;
he was simply a witness to tell about the light.
The one who is the true light,
who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world.
