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 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 thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him. (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 everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. (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 have glorified thee on the earth, having finished the work which thou gavest me to do;

"I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest 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.

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

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 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 know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee;

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

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.

"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 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 thou hast given me; for they are thine,

10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

15 I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.

18 As thou didst send 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 in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

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

20 Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe 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 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 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 the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even 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 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 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! 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, 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! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send 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 thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast 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."
