Jesus addresses the Father as the only true God and distinguishes himself as the one sent; the same prayer describes shared glory before the world. - The Pantokrator typikon plans hospital care
John II's foundation document provides a detailed plan for a hospital attached to the Pantokrator monastery. It specifies wards, staff, and provisions for patients. - The Passover lamb's bones remain unbroken
