- And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
And we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth. - When the Advocate comes
whom I will send you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father,
he will testify on my behalf. - Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth:
it is better for you that I depart.
For if I do not go away,
the Advocate will not come to you,
whereas if I go,
I will send him to you. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
so that I may walk in your truth;
let me worship your name
with an undivided heart. - A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly. - You are from your father, the devil,
and you choose to carry out your father’s desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and he does not abide by the truth,
for there is no truth in him.
When he lies,
he speaks in accord with his own nature,
for he is a liar
and the father of lies. - For light produces all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- You might say to yourself, “How can we know that the Lord did not speak the message?” If what the prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord is not true and it does not happen, then the message was not proclaimed by the Lord. The prophet has spoken presumptuously, you should not fear him.
- However, whoever lives by the truth
comes to the light
so that it may be clearly seen
that his deeds have been done in God.
After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. Because in my eyes you are precious,
because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations in return for your life.Next verse!With image
