John 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;

When Jesus had ended this discourse, he said, lifting up his eyes to heaven, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee;

2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give consummate (aiōnios g166) life to all whom you have given him.

as thou hast given him authority over all men, that he may bestow eternal life, on all those whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 This is consummate (aiōnios g166) life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Now this is the life eternal, to know thee the only true God, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy Apostle. (aiōnios g166)

4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

I have glorified thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

And now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence, with that glory which I enjoyed with thee, before the world was.

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.

I have made known thy name to the men whom those hast given me of the world. They were thine; and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

Whatsoever thou hast given me, they now know to have come from thee;

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.

and that thou hast imparted to me the doctrine, which I have imparted to them. They have received it, knowing for certain, that I came forth from thee, and am commissioned by thee.

9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

It is for them that I pray. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine.

10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

And all mine are thine, and thine 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.

I continue no longer in the world; but these continue in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, preserve them in thy name, whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, 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.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those whom thou hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold.

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.

But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.

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.

I have delivered thy word to them, and the world hates 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.

I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.

18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.

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

And I consecrate myself for them, that they may be consecrated through the truth.

20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

Nor do I pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their teaching;

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.

that all may be one; that as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast 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,

and that thou gavest me the glory, which I have given them; that they may be one, 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.

I in them, and thou in me, that their union may be perfected; that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou lovest them, as thou lovest 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.

Father, I would that where I shall be, those whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me, because thou lovedst me before the formation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

Righteous Father, though the world knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.

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.”

And to them I have communicated, and will communicate thy name: that I being in them, they may share in the love with which thou lovest me.
