Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,

For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.

"I have made you known to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your word,

"I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.

And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.

You heard me say to you, 'I am leaving, but I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I.

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods, because he did this when the Egyptians treated the Israelites with such contempt."

The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; his greatness is beyond understanding.

"How great are the wonders God shows us! How powerful are the miracles he performs! God is king forever; he will rule for all time.

A curse on the cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me, when he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! For I am a great king, and people of all nations fear me."
