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.

¹⁴ I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

¹⁵ I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

³⁰ Now we understand that you know everything, and there’s no need to question you. From this we believe that you came from God.”

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.^[a]

¹³ Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

¹⁴ Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

²¹ I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

⁴² Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.

²⁵ “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. ²⁶ I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
