²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:

⁵ And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

¹ And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it.

² A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.

³ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

⁴ And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof; upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.

⁵ And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

⁶ And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

⁷ And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.

⁸ And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.

⁹ Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.

¹⁰ And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Jehovah.

¹⁹ Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

⁴² And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

¹ These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee:

² even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.

³ And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, `even' Jesus Christ.

⁴ I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.

⁵ And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁶ I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

⁷ Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:

⁸ for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received `them', and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.

⁹ I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:

¹⁰ and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we `are'.

¹² While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³ But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil `one'.

¹⁶ They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰ Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

²¹ that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, `art' in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

²² And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we `are' one;

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

²⁴ Father, I desire 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.

²⁵ O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;

²⁶ and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good `things' to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

¹ My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
