Die Handelinge van die Apostels 20: 17-27
| 20:17 | Toe, stuur van Milete na Efese, hy het die groter van geboorte in die kerk genoem. |
| 20:18 | En toe hulle by hom kom en saam was, het hy vir hulle gesê: “Jy weet dit van die eerste dag af toe ek Asië ingegaan het, Ek was by jou, vir die hele tyd, in hierdie manier: |
| 20:19 | die Here te dien, met alle nederigheid en ten spyte van die trane en beproewinge wat my getref het deur die verraad van die Jode, |
| 20:20 | hoe ek niks teruggehou het wat van waarde was nie, hoe goed het ek vir julle gepreek, en dat ek julle in die openbaar en deur die huise geleer het, |
| 20:21 | aan beide Jode en heidene getuig van bekering in God en geloof in ons Here Jesus Christus. |
| 20:22 | En nou, kyk, verplig wees in gees, Ek gaan Jerusalem toe, nie weet wat daar met my gaan gebeur nie, |
| 20:23 | behalwe dat die Heilige Gees, dwarsdeur elke stad, het my gewaarsku, en gesê dat kettings en verdrukkinge op my wag in Jerusalem. |
| 20:24 | Maar ek vrees nie een van hierdie dinge nie. Ek beskou ook nie my lewe as meer kosbaar nie, want dit is my eie, mits ek op een of ander manier my eie kursus en dié van die bediening van die Woord kan voltooi, wat ek van die Here Jesus ontvang het, om te getuig van die Evangelie van die genade van God. |
| 20:25 | En nou, kyk, Ek weet dat jy nie meer my gesig sal sien nie, julle almal onder wie ek gereis het, die koninkryk van God te verkondig. |
| 20:26 | Vir hierdie rede, Ek roep julle as getuies op hierdie einste dag: dat ek rein is van die bloed van almal. |
| 20:27 | Want ek het nie die minste afgewyk om elke raad van God aan julle te verkondig nie. |
Die Heilige Evangelie volgens Johannes 17: 1-11
| 17:1 | Jesus said these things, en toe, lifting up his eyes toward heaven, hy het gesê: “Father, the hour has arrived: glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you, |
| 17:2 | just as you have given authority over all flesh to him, so that he may give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him. |
| 17:3 | And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. |
| 17:4 | I have glorified you on earth. I have completed the work that you gave me to accomplish. |
| 17:5 | And now Father, glorify me within yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world ever was. |
| 17:6 | I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given to me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me. And they have kept your word. |
| 17:7 | Now they realize that all the things that you have given me are from you. |
| 17:8 | For I have given them the words that you gave to me. And they have accepted these words, and they have truly understood that I went forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me. |
| 17:9 | I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given to me. For they are yours. |
| 17:10 | And all that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine, and I am glorified in this. |
| 17:11 | And though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even as we are one. |
