John 17

1 Jesus spoke these things, and he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy Son, that the Son may also glorify thee,

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

2 just as thou gave him authority over all flesh, so that all things that thou have given him, he will give them eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

3 And this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou sent. (aiōnios g166)

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I glorified thee on the earth. I finished the work which thou have given me that I should do.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory that I had with thee before the world was.

And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

6 I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gave me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gave them to me, and they have kept thy word.

"I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

7 Now they know that all things, as many as thou gave me are from thee.

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

8 Because the sayings that thou gave to me, I gave to them. And they received them, and knew truly that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou sent me.

For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

9 I pray about them. I do not pray about the world, but about whom thou have given me, because they are for thee.

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

10 And all my things are thy things, and thy things are my things, and I am glorified in them.

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.

11 And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name that thou have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we.

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Whom thou gave to me, I kept, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to thee. And I speak these things in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

"But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

14 I have given them thy word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil.

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

16 They are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

17 Sanctify them in thy truth. Thy word is truth.

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

18 Just as thou sent me into the world, so also I sent them into the world.

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they may also themselves be sanctified in truth.

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

20 And I pray not about these only, but also about those who believe in me through their word,

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

21 so that they may all be one, just as thou, Father, are in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou sent me.

that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

22 And I, the glory that thou have given me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we are one,

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be fully perfected in one, and so that the world may know that thou sent me, and loved them, just as thou loved me.

I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

24 Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.

"Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

25 And righteous Father, the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and these know that thou sent me.

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.

26 And I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, so that the love that thou loved me may be in them, and I in them.

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
