John 17

1 When Jesus had thus spoken, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! the hour is come; glorify thy Son, 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 according as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him. (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 And this is the everlasting life, to 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 have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;

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

5 and now, Father! do thou glorify 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 manifested 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.

“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 whatever thou hast given me are from thee;

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

8 for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me; and they received them, and knew surely that I came forth from thee, and 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 them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for 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 things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am 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 in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even 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 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, and guarded them; and no one of them is lost 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 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them.

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 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 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 thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

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, even as I am not of the world.

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

17 Sanctify them in thy 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 in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

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

20 Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;

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

21 that they all may 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 the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even 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, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved 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! as to that which thou hast given me, I desire that they also 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, 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! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew 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 And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved 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.”
