The Word Became Flesh
1 aIn the beginning was bthe Word, and cthe Word was with God, and dthe Word was God.
18 lNo one has ever seen God; mthe only God,1 who is at the Father’s side,2 nhe has made him known.
Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
1 Now nbefore othe Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that phis hour had come qto depart out of this world to the Father, rhaving loved shis own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
5 And now, Father, aglorify me in your own presence with the glory bthat I had with you cbefore the world existed.
11 And I am no longer in the world, but othey are in the world, and pI am coming to you. qHoly Father, rkeep them in your name, swhich you have given me, tthat they may be one, ueven as we are one.
13 But now aI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have bmy joy fulfilled in themselves.
23 zI in them and you in me, athat they may become perfectly one, bso that the world may know that you sent me and cloved them even as dyou loved me.
