< John 17 >

1 After Jesus said those things, he looked [up] toward heaven. Then he prayed, “[My] Father, it is now the time [MTY] [for me to suffer and die]. Honor me [as I do that], in order that I may honor you.
Ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν (ὁ *k*) Ἰησοῦς, καὶ (ἐπάρας *N(k)O*) τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν (καὶ *k*) εἶπεν· πάτερ, ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα· δόξασόν σου τὸν υἱόν, ἵνα (καὶ *k*) ὁ υἱὸς (σου *k*) δοξάσῃ σέ.
2 You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
καθὼς ἔδωκας αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός, ἵνα πᾶν ὃ δέδωκας αὐτῷ, (δώσῃ *NK(o)*) αὐτοῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. (aiōnios g166)
3 [The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ αἰώνιος ζωὴ ἵνα γινώσκωσιν σὲ τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν θεὸν καὶ ὃν ἀπέστειλας Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν. (aiōnios g166)
4 I have honored you here on this earth by completing all the work that you gave me to do.
ἐγώ σε ἐδόξασα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τὸ ἔργον (τελειώσας *N(k)O*) ὃ δέδωκάς μοι ἵνα ποιήσω.
5 [My] Father, now honor me when I am with you [again], by causing me to have the greatness I had when I was with you before the world began.”
καὶ νῦν δόξασόν με σύ, πάτερ, παρὰ σεαυτῷ τῇ δόξῃ ᾗ εἶχον πρὸ τοῦ τὸν κόσμον εἶναι παρὰ σοί.
6 “I have revealed [what] you [are like] to the people whom you brought to me from among those who do not belong to you [MTY]. Those [who came to me] belonged to you, and you brought them to me. Now they have obeyed your message.
Ἐφανέρωσά σου τὸ ὄνομα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις οὓς (ἔδωκάς *N(k)O*) μοι ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου· σοὶ ἦσαν κἀμοὶ κἀμοὶ αὐτοὺς (ἔδωκας *N(k)O*) καὶ τὸν λόγον σου τετήρηκαν.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me, [your message and your work], comes from you.
νῦν ἔγνωκαν ὅτι πάντα ὅσα (δέδωκάς *NK(o)*) μοι παρὰ σοῦ (εἰσιν· *N(k)O*)
8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they have accepted it. They now know for certain that I came from you. They now believe that you sent me.
ὅτι τὰ ῥήματα ἃ (ἔδωκάς *N(k)O*) μοι δέδωκα αὐτοῖς· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἔγνωσαν ἀληθῶς ὅτι παρὰ σοῦ ἐξῆλθον, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.
9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for those [who do not belong to you] [MTY]. Instead, [I am praying] for those whom you have brought to me, because they belong to you.
Ἐγὼ περὶ αὐτῶν ἐρωτῶ· οὐ περὶ τοῦ κόσμου ἐρωτῶ ἀλλὰ περὶ ὧν δέδωκάς μοι, ὅτι σοί εἰσιν·
10 All [the disciples] that I have belong to you, and all those who belong to you also belong to me. They have shown how great I am.
καὶ τὰ ἐμὰ πάντα σά ἐστιν καὶ τὰ σὰ ἐμά· καὶ δεδόξασμαι ἐν αὐτοῖς.
11 I will not be [staying] in the world any longer. I will be coming back to you. They, however, will be [here] in the world [among those who are opposed to you]. [My] Holy Father, protect them from spiritual harm by your power [MTY], the power that you gave me, in order that they may be united as we are united.
καὶ οὐκέτι οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ (αὐτοὶ *N(k)O*) ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰσίν, κἀγὼ κἀγὼ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι. Πάτερ ἅγιε, τήρησον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου (ᾧ *N(K)O*) δέδωκάς μοι ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς (καὶ *o*) ἡμεῖς.
12 While I have been with them, I have [completely] protected them by the power [MTY] that you gave me. As a result, only one of them will be eternally separated from you. He is the one who was doomed to be eternally separated from you. [That has happened] to fulfill [what a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [would happen].
ὅτε ἤμην μετ᾽ αὐτῶν (ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, *K*) ἐγὼ ἐτήρουν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου (ᾧ *N(K)O*) δέδωκάς μοι (καὶ *no*) ἐφύλαξα, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας, ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ.
13 [Father], now I am about to return to you. I have said these things while I am still [here] in the world in order that my [disciples] may fully experience being joyful, as I have been joyful.
νῦν δὲ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι καὶ ταῦτα λαλῶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, ἵνα ἔχωσιν τὴν χαρὰν τὴν ἐμὴν πεπληρωμένην ἐν (ἑαυτοῖς. *N(k)O*)
14 I have given them your message. As a result, those who are opposed to you [MTY] have hated them, because [my disciples] do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY], just like I do not belong to those who oppose you [MTY].
ἐγὼ δέδωκα αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον σου, καὶ ὁ κόσμος ἐμίσησεν αὐτούς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου καθὼς ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου.
15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from [Satan], the evil one.
οὐκ ἐρωτῶ ἵνα ἄρῃς αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα τηρήσῃς αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
16 They do not belong to those who are opposed to you [MTY], just like I also do not belong to them.
ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ εἰσὶν καθὼς ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου.
17 Set [my disciples] apart so that they may (completely belong to/serve) you, by [enabling them to live in accordance with] what is true. Your message is true.
ἁγίασον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ (σου· *k*) ὁ λόγος ὁ σὸς ἀλήθειά ἐστιν.
18 Just like you sent me here into this world, now I surely will be sending them [to other places] in [MTY] the world.
καθὼς ἐμὲ ἀπέστειλας εἰς τὸν κόσμον, κἀγὼ κἀγὼ ἀπέστειλα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
19 I dedicate myself to completely belong to you, in order that they also may truly be dedicated {dedicate themselves} completely to you.”
καὶ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἐγὼ ἁγιάζω ἐμαυτόν, ἵνα ὦσιν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἡγιασμένοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.
20 “I am praying not only for these [eleven disciples]. I am praying also for those who [will] believe in me as a result of [hearing] their message.
οὐ περὶ τούτων δὲ ἐρωτῶ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ τῶν (πιστευόντων *N(k)O*) διὰ τοῦ λόγου αὐτῶν εἰς ἐμέ·
21 [My] Father, [I want] all of them to be united, just like I am united with you because of my relationship with you, and as you are united with me because of your relationship with me. I also want them to be united with us. [I want that to happen] so that those who do not know you [MTY] may know that you sent me.
ἵνα πάντες ἓν ὦσιν καθὼς σύ, (πάτερ, *NK(o)*) ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ κἀγὼ ἐν σοί, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἡμῖν (ἓν *KO*) ὦσιν· ἵνα ὁ κόσμος (πιστεύῃ *N(k)O*) ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.
22 I have honored my disciples just like you honored me, in order that they may be united, as we are united.
κἀγὼ κἀγὼ τὴν δόξαν ἣν δέδωκάς μοι δέδωκα αὐτοῖς, ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς ἕν (ἐσμεν· *k*)
23 I want them to be united just like they are united with me and as you are united with me. May they be completely united, in order that those who do not belong to you [MTY] may know that you sent me and that you have loved them just like you have loved me.
ἐγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ σὺ ἐν ἐμοί, ἵνα ὦσιν τετελειωμένοι εἰς ἕν, (καὶ *k*) ἵνα γινώσκῃ ὁ κόσμος ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας καὶ ἠγάπησας αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἐμὲ ἠγάπησας.
24 [My] Father, I want [the disciples] you have brought to me to [some day] be with me [in heaven], where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.
(Πάτερ, *NK(o)*) (ὃ *N(k)O*) δέδωκάς μοι θέλω ἵνα ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ κἀκεῖνοι κἀκεῖνοι ὦσιν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα θεωρῶσιν τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἐμὴν ἣν (δέδωκάς *N(k)O*) μοι, ὅτι ἠγάπησάς με πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου.
25 [My] righteous Father, although the people who do not belong to you [MTY] do not know what you [are like], I know what you [are like], and my disciples know that you sent me.
(πάτερ *NK(o)*) δίκαιε, καὶ ὁ κόσμος σε οὐκ ἔγνω, ἐγὼ δέ σε ἔγνων, καὶ οὗτοι ἔγνωσαν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας·
26 I have revealed to them [what] you [are like], and I will continue to reveal to them [what] you [are like]. I will do that in order that they may love [others] just like you love me, and in order that I may be in them [by my Spirit].”
καὶ ἐγνώρισα αὐτοῖς τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ γνωρίσω, ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη ἣν ἠγάπησάς με ἐν αὐτοῖς ᾖ κἀγὼ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς.
