⁴ I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

²⁹ And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

¹⁹ From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

¹² While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

¹³ And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

²³ But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.

¹⁴ For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁶ For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

²⁵ See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.

⁷ And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

²² Let the future be made clear to us: give us news of the past things, so that we may give thought to them; or of the things to come, so that we may see if they are true.

²³ Give us word of what will be after this, so that we may be certain that you are gods: yes, do good or do evil, so that we may all see it and be surprised.

¹² But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

¹³ And it will be turned to a witness for you.

²³ Only that the Holy Spirit makes clear to me in every town that prison and pains are waiting for me.

²⁴ But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.
