< 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, and then, lifting up his eyes toward heaven, he said: “Father, the hour has arrived: glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify 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)
just as you have given authority over all flesh to him, so that he may 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: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
I have glorified you on earth. I have completed the work that you gave me to accomplish.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
And now Father, glorify me within yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world ever 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 manifested your name to the men whom you have given to me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me. And they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
Now they realize that all the things that you have given me are 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.
For I have given them the words that you gave to me. And they have accepted these words, and they have truly understood that I went forth from you, and they have believed 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.
I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given to me. For they are yours.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.
And all that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine, and I am glorified in this.
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 though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom 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 preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may 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 am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves.
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 your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, 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 am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from 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 also am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
And it is for them that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may 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,
But I am not praying for them only, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me.
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 may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have 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 that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also 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 am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also 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, I will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding of the world.
25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.
Father most just, the world has not known you. But I have known you. And these have known 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 made known your name to them, and I will make it known, so that the love in which you have loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.”
