Acts 7: 55- 59

7:55 But he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and gazing intently toward heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.”
7:56 Then they, crying out with a loud voice, blocked their ears and, with one accord, rushed violently toward him.
7:57 And driving him out, beyond the city, they stoned him. And witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a youth, who was called Saul.
7:58 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
7:59 Then, having been brought to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his murder.

Revelation 22: 12- 14, 16- 17, 20

22:12 “Behold, I am approaching quickly! And my repayment is with me, to render to each one according to his works.
22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb. So may they have a right to the tree of life; so may they enter through the gates into the City.

22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my Angel, to testify to these things for you among the Churches. I am the Root and the Origin of David, the bright morning Star.”
22:17 And the Spirit and the Bride say: “Draw near.” And whoever hears, let him say: “Draw near.” And whoever thirsts, let him draw near. And whoever is willing, let him accept the water of life, freely.

22:20 He who offers testimony to these things, says: “Even now, I am approaching quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

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, Father, 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 Father, 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.”
