16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountainwhere Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, theyworshiped him—but some of them doubted!
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over
16 for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen
Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
18 Christ is also the head of the church,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first in everything.
