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 thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

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)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (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)

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast 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 Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine 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, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence 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 Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

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

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

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 the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send 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 am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

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

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.

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 am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

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 kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may 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 Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

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 Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to 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 do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

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

They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

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

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

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

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

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

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

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

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

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 they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send 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.—

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just 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 Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast 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, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation 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:

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send 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 known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
