John 17

1 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;

These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 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)

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 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)

And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine 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 in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 "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.

I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to 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 whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

Now they have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee.

8 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.

For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 "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,

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.

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

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 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.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.

12 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.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 "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.

And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 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.

I have given to 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 ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

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

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

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

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

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

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

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

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

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

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word;

21 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.

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: 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, just as we are one:

And the glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 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.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 "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.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given to me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given to me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

25 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 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."

And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
