¹⁵ But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

⁶ He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.

²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

⁷ But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

⁸ And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

¹⁰ If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

¹⁵ I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

⁷ And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

⁸ Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

⁹ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head.

⁶ They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.

²¹ It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

⁷ Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,

⁸ My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.
