Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 17
²⁴ Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
²⁵ O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.
²⁶ And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
John 18
¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
² And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.
³ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?"
⁵ They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
⁶ Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
⁷ Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
⁸ Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
