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 said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him. (aiōnios g166)

3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios g166)

And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you 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 have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.

7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:

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 I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you 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.

My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

(All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory 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 now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.

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 I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

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 you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete 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 your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even 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.

My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

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

They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.

18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith 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.

May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even 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 you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

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, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you 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 have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.
