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, raising His eyes to Heaven and saying: “Father, the hour has come! Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son also 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 gave Him authority over all humanity, so that He will give eternal life to all those whom You have given 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)

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

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

I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work that You have given me to do.

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

So now, Father, You glorify me by Your side with the glory that I had along with You before the world existed!

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 revealed Your name to the men whom You have given me out of 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.

They now know that everything You have given to me is 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 sayings which You have given to me; and they have received and known for sure that I came 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 am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given me, because they are yours.

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

Actually, all my things are Yours and Yours are mine, and I have been 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.

Now I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You. “Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to me, so that they may be one just as we are.

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 Your name. I protected those whom You gave me, and not one of them was lost except the son of perdition, 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.

But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full 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 Your word; and the world has 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 am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the malignant one.

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 by Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.

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

Just as You 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 for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also 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,

“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe into 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.

that they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I in You; that in Us they also may be one, so that the world may believe that You sent me.

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

In fact, the glory that You gave to 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 You in me, so that they may be perfected into one; also so that the world may know that You sent me, and have loved them just as You have 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, those whom You have given to me, I desire that they also may be with me where I am, so that they may observe my glory, which You have given me, because 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.

Righteous Father! Indeed 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.”

Yes, I have made Your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
