John 17

1 These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,

When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you.

2 As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him. (aiōnios g166)

For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to him. (aiōnios g166)

3 And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.

I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.

5 And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.

Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.

6 I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.

I have revealed your character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.

7 Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

8 For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.

I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.

I'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.

10 And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through them.

11 And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are.

I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

12 While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues.

Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.

14 I haue giuen them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

I gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keepe them from euill.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil one.

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

They are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.

17 Sanctifie them with thy trueth: thy word is trueth.

Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.

18 As thou diddest send me into the world, so haue I sent them into the world.

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

19 And for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also may bee sanctified through the trueth.

I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.

20 I praie not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in mee, through their woorde,

I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.

21 That they all may bee one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: euen that they may be also one in vs, that the worlde may beleeue that thou hast sent me.

I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send me.

22 And the glory that thou gauest me, I haue giuen them, that they may be one, as we are one,

I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.

23 I in them, and thou in mee, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me.

I live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love me.

24 Father, I will that they which thou hast giuen me, be with me euen where I am, that they may beholde that my glorie, which thou hast giuen mee: for thou louedst me before the foundation of the world.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.

25 O righteous Father, the worlde also hath not knowen thee, but I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.

Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know that you sent me.

26 And I haue declared vnto the thy Name, and will declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them.

I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live in them.”
