Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 16
³² But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.
³³ I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
John 17
¹ After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.
² For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.
³ And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
⁴ I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
⁵ Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
⁶ “I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
⁷ Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you,
⁸ for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.
⁹ “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.
