The High Priestly Prayer

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^mhe lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ⁿthe hour has come; ^oglorify your Son that the Son may ^pglorify you, 2 since ^qyou have given him authority over all flesh, ^rto give eternal life to all ^swhom you have given him. 3 ^tAnd this is eternal life, ^uthat they know you, ^vthe only ^wtrue God, and ^xJesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I ^yglorified you on earth, ^zhaving accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, ^aglorify me in your own presence with the glory ^bthat I had with you ^cbefore the world existed.

6 ^d“I have manifested your name to the people ^ewhom you gave me out of the world. ^fYours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything ^fthat you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them ^gthe words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ^hI came from you; and ⁱthey have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. ^jI am not praying for the world but for those ^kwhom you have given me, for ^lthey are yours. 10 ^mAll mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ⁿI am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but ^othey are in the world, and ^pI am coming to you. ^qHoly Father, ^rkeep them in your name, ^swhich you have given me, ^tthat they may be one, ^ueven as we are one. 12 ^vWhile I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ^wguarded them, and ^xnot one of them has been lost except ^ythe son of destruction, ^zthat the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now ^aI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ^bmy joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 ^cI have given them your word, and ^dthe world has hated them ^ebecause they are not of the world, ^fjust as I am not of the world. 15 I ^gdo not ask that you ^htake them out of the world, but that you ⁱkeep them from ^jthe evil one.¹ 16 ^kThey are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

When Brothers Dwell in Unity

A Song of ^mAscents. Of David.

Divisions in the Church

10 I appeal to you, brothers,¹ by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no ^pdivisions among you, but that you be united ^qin the same mind and the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there is ^rquarreling among you, my brothers. 12 What I mean is that ^seach one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow ^tApollos,” or “I follow ^uCephas,” or “I follow Christ.” 13 ^vIs Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you ^wbaptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except ^xCrispus and ^yGaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also ^zthe household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and ^anot with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
