John 17

1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up His eyes to the sky, and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You,

After Jesus said these things, He looked toward Heaven, and said: “Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may also glorify You,

2 according as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, that—all that You have given to Him—He may give to them continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

3 and this is the continuous life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Him whom You sent—Jesus Christ; (aiōnios g166)

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who You have sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me, that I should do.

I have glorified You on the Earth. I have finished the work which You have given me to do.

5 And now, glorify Me, You Father, with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world was;

Now, O Father, glorify me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

6 I revealed Your Name to the men whom You have given to Me out of the world; they were Yours, and You have given them to Me, and they have kept Your word;

“I have revealed Your name to the people You’ve given me out of the world. They were Yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept Your word.

7 now they have known that all things, as many as You have given to Me, are from You,

Now they know that everything You’ve given me comes from You,

8 because the sayings that You have given to Me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

for I have spoken to them the words You’ve given me. They have received Your words, and have come to know for certain that I came forth from You. They have believed that You sent me.

9 I ask in regard to them; I do not ask in regard to the world, but in regard to those whom You have given to Me, because they are Yours,

It is for them I pray. I’m not praying for the world, but for those who You’ve given me, because they belong to You.

10 and all Mine are Yours, and Yours [are] Mine, and I have been glorified in them;

All of mine are Yours, and Yours are mine. I am glorified in them.

11 and I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your Name, whom You have given to Me, that they may be one as We [are one];

Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world. I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those who You’ve given me, that they may be one just as we are one.

12 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Your Name; I guarded those whom You have given to Me, and none of them were destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

I kept them in Your name while I was with them in the world. I have kept the people You gave me; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves;

Now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given Your word to them, 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. The world has hated them because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.

15 I do not ask that You may take them out of the world, but that You may keep them out of the evil.

I don’t pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.

17 sanctify them in Your truth, Your word is truth;

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

18 as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world;

As You sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

19 and I sanctify Myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in truth themselves.

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

20 And I do not ask in regard to these alone, but also in regard to those who will be believing in Me through their word,

“I don’t pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in me through their message,

21 that they all may be one, as You Father [are] in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in me, and I in You. I pray that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent me.

22 And I have given to them the glory that You have given to Me, that they may be one as We are one—

I have given them the glory which You gave me, that they may be one just as we are one:

23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them as You loved Me.

I in them and You in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent me and have sincerely loved them even as You have sincerely loved me.

24 Father, those whom You have given to Me, I will that where I am they also may be with Me, that they may behold My glory that You gave to Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Father, I desire that those You gave me may also be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which You’ve given me; because You sincerely loved me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, also the world did not know You, and I knew You, and these have known that You sent Me,

O righteous Father! The world hasn’t known You, but I have always known You, and these have come to know that You sent me.

26 and I made known to them Your Name, and will make known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

I have declared to them Your name, and will continue to declare it, so that the sincere love with which You sincerely loved me may be in them, and I may be in them.”
