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,

When he had thus spoken, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said. "Father, the hour is come. Glorify the Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

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)

"since thou hast given him authority over all mankind, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast 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)

"And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast 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 thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

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

"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with own self, with the glory I had with thee before the world began.

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 made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

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

"They know now that whatever thou hast given me was from thee;

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 given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send 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,

"I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine,

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

"and all thine are mine, and mine are thine; and 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];

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.

13 And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

"And for their sakes I dedicate myself, that they also may be thoroughly dedicated in 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,

"Nor do I pray for them alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

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 may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee; that they also may be in us; in order that the world may believe that thou hast 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—

"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even 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 thou in me; that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou didst send me, and hast loved them as thou hast 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, it is my will that wherever I am these also, thy gift to me, may be with me, that they may see the glory, my glory which thou hast given me, because thou didst love me before the foundations 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, though the world knew thee not, I have known thee, and these have known that though didst send 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.”

"And I have declared - and will declare - thy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
