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;
When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son 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)
For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to 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)
Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;
I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave 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.
Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.
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 character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.
7 Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee;
Now they know that everything you have given me comes 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.
I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they 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'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.
10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through 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.
I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
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, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was 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.
Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.
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 gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.
15 I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.
I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil 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'm not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
Make them holy by the 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 have sent them into the world.
19 And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.
I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.
20 Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;
I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.
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.
I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send me.
22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one;
I have given them the glory that you gave me, 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 live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love 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, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.
25 Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me.
Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know 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.
I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live in them.”
