17
1 Jesus
said these things,
then lifting up
his eyes to
heaven, he said,
“Father, the
time has come.
Glorify your Son,
that your Son
may also glorify
you;
2 even as you
gave him
authority over
all flesh, so
he will
give eternal life
to all whom
you have given
him.
3 This is eternal
life, that they
should know you,
the only true
God, and him
whom you sent,
Jesus Christ.
4 I glorified you
on the earth.
I have
accomplished the
work which you
have given me
to do.
5 Now, Father,
glorify me with
your own self
with the glory
which I had
with you before
the world
existed.
6 “I revealed
your name to
the people whom
you have given
me out of
the world. They
were yours, and
you have given
them to me.
They have kept
your word.
7 Now they have
known that all
things whatever
you have given
me are from
you,
8 for the words
which you have
given me I
have given to
them; and they
received them,
and knew for
sure that I
came from you.
They have
believed that
you sent me.
9 I pray for
them. I don’t
pray for the
world, but for
those whom you
have given me,
for they are
yours.
10 All things that
are mine are
yours, and yours
are mine, and
I am glorified
in them.
11 I am no
more in the
world, but these
are in the
world, and I
am coming to
you. Holy Father,
keep them
through your
name which you
have given me,
that they may
be one, even
as we are.
12 While I was
with them in
the world, I
kept them in
your name. I
have kept those
whom you have
given me. None
of them is lost
except the son
of destruction, that
the Scripture
might be
fulfilled.
13 But now I
come to you,
and I say
these things in
the world, that
they may have
my joy made
full in
themselves.
14 I have given
them your word.
The world hated
them because
they are not
of the world,
even as I
am not of
the world.
15 I pray not
that you would
take them from
the world, but
that you would
keep them from
the evil one.
16 They are not
of the world,
even as I
am not of
the world.
17 Sanctify them in
your truth. Your
word is truth.
18 As you sent me
into the world,
even so I
have sent them
into the world.
19 For their sakes
I sanctify myself,
that they
themselves also
may be sanctified
in truth.
20 “Not for these
only do I
pray, but for
those also who
will believe in
me through their
word,
21 that they may
all be one;
even as you,
Father, are in
me, and I
in you, that
they also may
be one in
us; that the
world may
believe that you
sent me.
22 The glory which
you have given
me, I have
given to them,
that they may
be one, even
as we are
one,
23 I in them,
and you in
me, that they
may be perfected
into one, that
the world may
know that you
sent me and loved
them, even as
you loved me.
24 Father, I
desire that they
also whom you
have given me
be with me
where I am,
that they may
see my glory
which you have
given me, for
you loved me
before the
foundation of
the world.
25 Righteous Father,
the world hasn’t
known you, but
I knew you;
and these knew
that you sent
me.
26 I made known
to them your
name, and will
make it known;
that the love
with which
you loved me may
be in them,
and I in
them.”
