John 17

1 These things, spake Jesus, and, lifting up his eyes unto heaven, said: —Father! The hour is come! Glorify thy Son, that, the Son, may glorify, thee, —

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2 Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

3 And, this, is the age-abiding life, That they get to know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

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

4 I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do.

I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

5 And, now, glorify me—thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world’s existence, with thee.

And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

6 I manifested thy name, unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: Thine, they were, and, to me, thou gavest them, and, thy word, have they kept:

I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7 Now, have they come to know, That, all things, as many as thou gavest me, are, from thee;

Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

8 And, the declarations which thou gavest me, have I given them, and, they, received them, and came to know in truth, that, from thee, came I forth, —and they believed, that, thou, didst send me forth.

For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9 I, concerning them, make request: not, concerning the world, do I make request, but concerning them whom thou hast given me, because, thine, they are, —

I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

10 And, all my possessions, are, thine, and, thy possessions, mine, and I have been glorified in them.

All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

11 And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world, —and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we.

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

12 When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, —And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, —save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled.

While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves.

But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

14 I, have given them thy word, and, the world, 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; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15 I request not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil:

I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

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

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

17 Hallow them in the truth: Thine own word, is, truth:

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

18 Even as thou didst send me forth into the world, I also, send them forth into the world;

As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

19 And, on their behalf, I, hallow myself, that, they also, may have become hallowed in truth.

For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

20 Not however concerning these alone, do I make request, but, concerning them also who believe, through their word, on me:

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

21 That they, all, may be, one, —even as, thou, Father, in me, and, I, in thee, —that, they also, in us, may be; —that, the world, may believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 And, I, the glory which thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one, even as, we, are, one.—

I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

23 I, in them and, thou, in me; That they may have been perfected into, one, —That the world may get to know, that, thou, didst send me forth, and didst love them even as thou didst love, me.

I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

24 Father! As touching that which thou hast given me, I desire—That, where, I, am, they also, may be, with me, that they may behold my own glory which thou hast given me, —because thou lovedst me, before the foundation of the world.

Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father! And so, the world, came not to know thee; but, I, came to know thee, and, these, came to know that, thou, didst send me forth:

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

26 And I made known unto them thy name, and will make known, —that, the love wherewith thou lovedst me, in them, may be, and, I, in them.

And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
