The Act of the Apostles 22: 30; 23: 6-11

22:30

Men dagen efter, mere flittigt ville opdage, hvad årsagen var til, at han blev anklaget af jøderne, han løslod ham, og han befalede præsterne at mødes, med hele rådet. Og, producerer Paul, han stillede ham blandt dem

23:6	Nu Paul, vel vidende at den ene gruppe var saddukæere og den anden var farisæere, udbrød i rådet: "Ædle brødre, Jeg er farisæer, farisæernes søn! Det er over håbet og de dødes opstandelse, at jeg bliver dømt."
23:7	Og da han havde sagt dette, der opstod uenighed mellem farisæerne og saddukæerne. Og folkemængden blev splittet.
23:8	For saddukæerne hævder, at der ikke er nogen opstandelse, og ingen engle, heller ikke ånder. Men farisæerne bekender begge disse.
23:9	Så opstod der et stort råb. Og nogle af farisæerne, rejser sig, kæmpede, ordsprog: "Vi finder intet ondt i denne mand. Hvad hvis en ånd har talt til ham, eller en engel?”
23:10	Og da der var sket en stor uenighed, tribunen, frygtede, at Paulus kunne blive revet i stykker af dem, beordrede soldaterne til at stige ned og gribe ham fra deres midte, og føre ham ind i fæstningen.
23:11	Derefter, den følgende nat, Herren stod nær ham og sagde: "Vær konstant. For ligesom du har vidnet om mig i Jerusalem, så er det også nødvendigt for dig at vidne i Rom."

The Holy Gospel According John 17: 20-26

17:20	But I am not praying for them only, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me.
17:21	So may they all be one. Just as you, Far, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
17:22	And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also are one.
17:23	I am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also loved me.
17:24	Far, I will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding of the world.
17:25	Father most just, the world has not known you. But I have known you. And these have known that you sent me.
17:26	And I have made known your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love in which you have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.”
