"You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and have
                        appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit, and your fruit should remain; that
whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.

                                "These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, know ye that it hath
                            hated Me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own. But because you
                        are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

                            "Remember My word that I said to you: 'The servant is not greater than his master: If they have
                            persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My word, they will keep yours also.
                                But all these things they will do to you for My Name's sake, because they know not Him Who sent Me.

                        "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for
                                their sin. He that hateth Me, hateth My Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no
                                other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My
                                Father. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: 'They hated Me without cause:

                            "But when the Paraclete cometh, Whom I will send9 you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, Who
                            proceedeth from the Father, He shall give testimony of Me. And you shall give testimony, because
you are with Me from the beginning

Jesus' Interior Prayer and Lamentation

                        I will give thanks to Thee in a great church; I will praise Thee in a strong people. Let not them
                                that are My enemies wrongfully rejoice over Me, who have hated Me without cause, and wink with the
    eyes. For they spoke indeed peaceably to Me, while they devised guile. And

                        9 Whom I will send: This proves, against the modern Greeks, that the Holy Ghost proceedeth
from the Son as well as from the Father. Otherwise He could not be
                                proceedeth from the Son as well as from the Father. Otherwise He could not be sent by the Son.
