John 17:18

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

²⁰We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

³This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

⁵Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.

³⁸I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

²¹that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

²³I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

⁷of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

^34[+] Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,

⁸for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
