John 17

1 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: My Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy 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 As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he might give life eternal to as many as thou hast given him. (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 life eternal, that they may know thee, that thou art the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Messiah. (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 have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou gavest me to do, I have finished.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

5 And now, my Father, glorify thou me, with that glory which I had with thee before the world was.

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 have made known thy name to the men, whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

"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 I have known, that whatever thou hast given me, was from thee.

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

8 For, the words thou gavest to me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known certainly, that I came from thy presence; and they have believed that thou didst send me.

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 And I pray for them; it is not for the world that I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, for they are thine.

"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 that is mine is thine, and what is thine is mine; and I am 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 Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I go to thee. Holy Father, keep them in that thy name, which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, as we are.

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 While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, 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 I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be complete in them.

"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 hath 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 pray not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from 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 for they are not of the world, 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 Father, sanctify them by thy truth, thy word is the truth.

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

18 As thou didst send me into the world, so have I also sent them into the world.

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

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

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

20 And it is not for them only that I pray, but also for those who shall believe in me through their discourse;

"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; as thou, my Father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe, that thou didst send me.

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 the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them; that they may be one, 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 be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that thou hast loved them as also thou hast loved 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, I desire that those whom thou hast given me, may also be with me where I am; that they may see that glory of mine which thou hast given me, as 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 My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known, that thou didst send me.

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 have made known to them thy name; and I will make it known; so that the love, with which thou lovedst me, may be in them, 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."
