< John 17 >
1 When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
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,
2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios )
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 )
3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios )
And this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou sent. (aiōnios )
4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
I glorified thee on the earth. I finished the work which thou have given me that I should do.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory that I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
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.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
Now they know that all things, as many as thou gave me are from thee.
8 For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
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.
9 I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.
I pray about them. I do not pray about the world, but about whom thou have given me, because they are for thee.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
And all my things are thy things, and thy things are my things, and I am glorified in them.
11 I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
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.
12 While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
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.
13 But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.
And now I come to thee. And I speak these things in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
14 I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
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.
15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
They are not of the world just as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
Sanctify them in thy truth. Thy word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
Just as thou sent me into the world, so also I sent them into the world.
19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they may also themselves be sanctified in truth.
20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
And I pray not about these only, but also about those who believe in me through their word,
21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
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.
22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—
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,
23 I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
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.
24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
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.
25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
And righteous Father, the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and these know that thou sent me.
26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
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.
