At that time Jesus
answered
and said,
I thank thee,
O Father,
Lord
of heaven
and earth,
because
thou hast
hid these things
from the wise
and prudent,
and hast revealed them
unto babes.
Even so,
Father:
for so
it seemed good
in thy sight.
And
when he
had sent
the multitudes away,
he went up
into a mountain
apart to pray:
and
when the evening
was come,
he was there alone.
And
he took
the seven loaves
and the fishes,
and gave thanks,
and brake them,
and gave to his disciples,
and the disciples
to the multitude.
Then were there brought
unto him little children,
that he
should put
his hands
on them,
and pray:
and the disciples
rebuked them.
And as they
were eating,
Jesus took bread,
and blessed it,
and brake it,
and gave it
to the disciples,
and said,
Take,
eat;
this is my body.
And
he took the cup,
and gave thanks,
and gave it
to them,
saying,
Drink
ye all of it;
Then cometh Jesus
with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples,
Sit ye here,
while I
go and pray yonder.
And
he went a little farther,
and fell
on his face,
and prayed,
saying,
O my Father,
if it
be possible,
let this cup pass
from me:
nevertheless
not as I will,
but as thou wilt.
He went away again
the second time,
and prayed,
saying,
O my Father,
if this cup
may not pass
away from me,
except I
drink it,
thy will be done.
And he
left them,
and went away again,
and prayed
the third time,
saying the same words.
And
in the morning,
rising up a great
while before day,
he went out,
and departed
into a solitary place,
and there prayed.
And when he
had taken
the five loaves
and the two fishes,
he looked up to
heaven,
and blessed,
and brake
the loaves,
and gave them
to his disciples
to set
before them;
and the two
fishes
divided
he among them all.
And
when
he had sent them away,
he departed
into a mountain
to pray.
And they
came
to a place
which was named
Gethsemane:
and
he saith to his disciples,
Sit ye here,
while I
shall pray.
And
he taketh with him Peter
and James
and John,
and began
to be sore amazed,
and
to be very heavy;
And
saith unto them,
My soul
is exceeding sorrowful
unto death:
tarry ye here,
and watch.
And
he went forward
a little,
and fell
on the ground,
and prayed that,
if it
were possible,
the hour
might pass from him.
And he said,
Abba, Father,
all things
are possible
unto thee;
take away this cup
from me:
nevertheless not
what I will,
but
what thou wilt.
And he cometh,
and findeth them sleeping,
and saith unto Peter, Simon,
sleepest thou?
couldest not thou
watch one hour?
Watch
ye and pray,
lest
ye enter
into temptation.
The spirit
truly is ready,
but the flesh
is weak.
And
again
he went away,
and prayed,
and spake the same words.
Now
when
all the people
were baptized,
it came to pass,
that Jesus
also being baptized,
and praying,
the heaven
was opened,
And
he withdrew himself
into the wilderness,
and prayed.
And it
came to pass
in those days,
that he
went out
into a mountain
to pray,
and continued all night
in prayer
to God.
And it
came
to pass,
as he
was alone praying,
his disciples
were with him:
and
he asked them,
saying,
Whom say
the people that
I am?
And it
came to pass
about an eight days after
these sayings,
he took Peter
and John
and James,
and went up
into a mountain
to pray.
And as he prayed,
the fashion
of his countenance
was altered,
and his raiment
was white
and glistering.
And it
came
to pass,
that,
as he
was praying
in a certain place,
when he ceased,
one
of his disciples
said unto him,
Lord,
teach us to pray,
as John
also taught
his disciples.
But
I have prayed
for thee,
that thy faith
fail not:
and
when
thou art converted,
strengthen
thy brethren.
And
he was withdrawn
from them
about a stone's cast,
and kneeled down,
and prayed,
Saying,
Father,
if thou
be willing,
remove this cup
from me:
nevertheless not my will,
but thine,
be done.
And there appeared
an angel
unto him
from heaven,
strengthening him.
And being
in an agony
he prayed
more earnestly:
and his sweat
was as it
were great
drops of blood
falling down
to the ground.
Then said
Jesus, Father,
forgive them;
for they
know not
what they do.
And
they parted
his raiment,
and cast lots.
Then
they took away
the stone
from the place
where the dead
was laid.
And Jesus
lifted
up his eyes,
and said,
Father,
I thank thee
that thou
hast heard me.
And I
knew that
thou hearest me
always:
but
because
of the people
which stand by
I said it,
that they
may believe that
thou hast sent me.
Now is
my soul troubled;
and
what shall
I say?
Father,
save me
from this hour:
but for this cause
came
I unto this hour.
Father,
glorify thy name.
Then came there
a voice
from heaven,
saying,
I have both glorified it,
and will glorify it again.
These words
spake Jesus,
and lifted
up his eyes
to heaven,
and said,
Father,
the hour
is come;
glorify thy Son,
that thy Son
also may glorify thee:
As thou
hast given him
power
over all flesh,
that he
should give eternal life to
as many
as thou
hast given him.
And this
is life eternal,
that they
might know thee
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ,
whom
thou hast sent.
I have glorified thee
on the earth:
I have finished
the work
which thou
gavest me to do.
And now,
O Father,
glorify
thou me
with thine own self
with the glory which
I had with thee
before the world was.
I have manifested thy
name
unto the men
which thou
gavest me
out of the world:
thine
they were,
and
thou gavest them me;
and they
have kept thy word.
Now
they have known
that all things
whatsoever
thou hast given me
are of thee.
For I
have given
unto them the words which
thou gavest me;
and
they have received them,
and have known surely
that I
came out
from thee,
and
they have believed that
thou didst send me.
I pray for them:
I pray not
for the world,
but
for them which
thou hast given me;
for they
are thine.
And all mine
are thine,
and thine
are mine;
and
I am glorified in them.
And now
I am no more
in the world,
but these
are in the world,
and I come
to thee.
Holy Father,
keep through thine
own
name those whom
thou hast given me,
that they
may be one,
as we are.
While I
was with them
in the world,
I kept them
in thy name:
those that thou
gavest me I
have kept,
and none of them
is lost,
but the son
of perdition;
that the scripture
might be fulfilled.
And now come
I to thee;
and these things
I speak
in the world,
that they
might have
my joy fulfilled
in themselves.
I have given them
thy word;
and the world
hath hated them,
because
they are not
of the world,
even as
I am not
of the world.
I pray not
that thou
shouldest take them
out of the world,
but that thou
shouldest keep them
from the evil.
They are not
of the world,
even as
I am not
of the world.
Sanctify them
through thy truth:
thy word
is truth.
As thou
hast sent me
into the world,
even so
have
I also sent them
into the world.
And
for their sakes
I sanctify myself,
that they
also might be sanctified
through the truth.
Neither pray
I for these alone,
but for them also which
shall believe on me
through their word;
That they
all may be one;
as thou,
Father,
art in me,
and I in thee,
that they
also may be
one in us:
that the world
may believe that
thou hast sent me.
And the glory which
thou gavest me
I have given them;
that they
may be one,
even as
we are one:
I in them,
and
thou in me,
that
they may be made
perfect in one;
and
that the world
may know that
thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them,
as thou
hast loved me.
Father,
I will
that they also,
whom
thou hast given me,
be with me where
I am;
that they
may behold
my glory,
which thou
hast given me:
for thou
lovedst me
before the foundation
of the world.
O righteous Father,
the world
hath not known thee:
but
I have known thee,
and these
have known that
thou hast sent me.
And
I have declared
unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love
wherewith
thou hast loved me
may be in them,
and I in them.
And
when
he had given thanks,
he brake it,
and said,
Take,
eat:
this is my body,
which is broken
for you:
this do
in remembrance of me.
Who in the days
of his flesh,
when
he had offered
up prayers
and supplications
with strong crying
and tears
unto him that
was able
to save him
from death,
and was heard
in that
he feared;
