< John 17 >
1 These words spake 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:
When Jesus had ended this discourse, he said, lifting up his eyes to heaven, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee;
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios )
as thou hast given him authority over all men, that he may bestow eternal life, on all those whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios )
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios )
Now this is the life eternal, to know thee the only true God, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy Apostle. (aiōnios )
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
I have glorified thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
And now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence, with that glory which I enjoyed with thee, before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
I have made known thy name to the men whom those hast given me of the world. They were thine; and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
Whatsoever thou hast given me, they now know to have come from thee;
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
and that thou hast imparted to me the doctrine, which I have imparted to them. They have received it, knowing for certain, that I came forth from thee, and am commissioned by thee.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
It is for them that I pray. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
And all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
I continue no longer in the world; but these continue in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, preserve them in thy name, whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those whom thou hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.
14 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.
I have delivered thy word to them, and the world hates them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
And I consecrate myself for them, that they may be consecrated through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Nor do I pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their teaching;
21 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.
that all may be one; that as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me;
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
and that thou gavest me the glory, which I have given them; that they may be one, as we are one;
23 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.
I in them, and thou in me, that their union may be perfected; that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou lovest them, as thou lovest me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Father, I would that where I shall be, those whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me, because thou lovedst me before the formation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
Righteous Father, though the world knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
And to them I have communicated, and will communicate thy name: that I being in them, they may share in the love with which thou lovest me.
