John 17

1 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,

These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 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)

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

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

And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

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

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

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

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 “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.

I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

7 They now know that everything You have given to me is from You;

Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee.

8 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.

For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given me, because they are yours.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.

10 Actually, all my things are Yours and Yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 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.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.

12 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.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have 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 speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them.

And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 “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.

I have given to 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 malignant one.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest 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, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them by Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 Just as You sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.

20 “I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe into me through their word;

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word;

21 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.

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 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:

And the glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 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.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 “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.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given to me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given to me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father! Indeed the world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent me.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 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.”

And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
