JOHN 17:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”
As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world — The disciples' mission mirrors Jesus' incarnational mission with the same grammatical parallelism (apostellō, "to send"). Just as the Father sent the Son into the world not to condemn but to save (3:17), so the disciples are sent as witnesses and agents of redemption. This apostolic commission emerges from their election and sanctification, establishing the Church's post-resurrection vocation.
