Gospel of John 1:

1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2) The same was in the beginning with God. 3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6) There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John. 7) The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe. 8) He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear testimony of that Light. 9) [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11) He came to his own, and his own received him not. 12) But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13) Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Gospel of John 10:

24) Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 25) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.

26) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. 27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28) And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. 29) My Father, who gave [them to] me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. 30) I and [my] Father are one.

Gospel of John 14:

2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. 4) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5) Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6) Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.

7) If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8) Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9) Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Show us the Father?

Gospel of Mark 15:

37) And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and expired. 38) And the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. 39) And when the centurion who stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

Gospel of Matthew 28:

18) And Jesus came, and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and upon earth. 19) Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

20) Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the world. Amen.

The Revelation 19:

11) And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12) His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13) And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called, The Word of God.

14) And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16) And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
