< 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.
These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: My Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son may 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 )
As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he might give life eternal to as many as thou hast given him. (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 life eternal, that they may know thee, that thou art the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Messiah. (aiōnios )
4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.
I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou gavest me to do, I have finished.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
And now, my Father, glorify thou me, with that glory which 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 have made known thy name to the men, whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
Now I have known, that whatever thou hast given me, was 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.
For, the words thou gavest to me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known certainly, that I came from thy presence; and they have believed that thou didst send 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.
And I pray for them; it is not for the world that I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, for they are thine.
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 thine, and what is thine is mine; 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.
Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I go to thee. Holy Father, keep them in that thy name, which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, 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 have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, 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 come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be 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 them thy word: and the world hath hated them, 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.
I pray not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil:
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.
Father, sanctify them by thy truth, thy word is the truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.
As thou didst send me into the world, so have I also 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, that they also may be sanctified by the 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 it is not for them only that I pray, but also for those who shall believe in me through their discourse;
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; as thou, my Father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe, that thou didst send 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 thou gavest me, 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 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 perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that thou hast loved them as also thou hast 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 desire that those whom thou hast given me, may also be with me where I am; that they may see that glory of mine which thou hast given me, as thou lovedst 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.
My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known, that thou didst send 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 to them thy name; and I will make it known; so that the love, with which thou lovedst me, may be in them, and I in them.
