Season of Annunciation

Colossians 1
1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2	To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colos'sae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
3	We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
4	because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have for all the saints,
5	because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel
6	which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing -- so among yourselves, from the day you heard and understood the grace of God in truth,
7	as you learned it from Ep'aphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf
8	and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
9	And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

John 13
31	When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified;
32	if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going you cannot come.'
34	A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35	By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
