⁴⁰ But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

²³ They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

² Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.

²⁴ Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

¹⁶ But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.
