7 Sent His Son to the World (cont'd)                                            
Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; 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. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 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. Father, that which thou hast given me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me; ....                                                                                                                                                                                             j1720-5

.... and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me, ....                                                                              l2229

Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.                                                                                                j2021

[Parable of the Wicked Tenants]
A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time. And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[The people: God forbid.]
What then is this that is written,
                The stone which the builders rejected,
                The same was made the head of the corner?
Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

8 Unity of being with Christ
I and the Father are one.                                                                                                                                                                   j1030

He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.   j1244-5

For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself: ....                                                      j0526

Work not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.                                                                                                                                             j0627

.... that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.                                                                            j1038

[To the Seventy:] He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.                                                                                                                                                                                             l1016
