John 17

1 Jesus spoke these words; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, in order that the Son may glorify thee:

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 as thou didst give Him authority over all flesh, in order that whatsoever thou hast given unto Him, He may give unto them eternal life. (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 But this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (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 glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it.

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

5 And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

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 manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy 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 all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee:

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

8 because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send 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 pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine:

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 and all mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I have been glorified in them.

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

11 And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are.

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 When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may 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 And now I come to thee; and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy complete in themselves.

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 unto them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, 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 do not pray that you may take them out of the world, but that you may 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, as I am not of the world.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through the truth: thy word is truth.

Sanctify them by Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.

18 As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world:

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

19 and I sanctify myself in their behalf, in order that they may also be sanctified through the truth.

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

20 And I not only pray for these, but also for those believing on me through their word;

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

21 that they may all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send 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 And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order 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 thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love 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, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love 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, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me;

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

26 I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love 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.”
