“ I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. (niv)
“ All this I have told you so that you will not fall away.They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, (niv)
