< John 17 >
1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
When Jesus had ended this discourse, he said, lifting up his eyes to heaven, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee;
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios )
as thou hast given him authority over all men, that he may bestow eternal life, on all those whom thou hast given him. (aiōnios )
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
Now this is the life eternal, to know thee the only true God, and Jesus, the Messiah, thy Apostle. (aiōnios )
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
I have glorified thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
And now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence, with that glory which I enjoyed with thee, before the world was.
6 “I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
I have made known thy name to the men whom those hast given me of the world. They were thine; and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Whatsoever thou hast given me, they now know to have come from thee;
8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
and that thou hast imparted to me the doctrine, which I have imparted to them. They have received it, knowing for certain, that I came forth from thee, and am commissioned by thee.
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
It is for them that I pray. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
And all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
I continue no longer in the world; but these continue in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, preserve them in thy name, whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those whom thou hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold.
13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
But now that I am coming to thee, I speak these things in the world, that their joy in me may be complete.
14 I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I have delivered thy word to them, and the world hates them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
And I consecrate myself for them, that they may be consecrated through the truth.
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
Nor do I pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their teaching;
21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
that all may be one; that as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me;
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
and that thou gavest me the glory, which I have given them; that they may be one, as we are one;
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
I in them, and thou in me, that their union may be perfected; that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou lovest them, as thou lovest me.
24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Father, I would that where I shall be, those whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me, because thou lovedst me before the formation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
Righteous Father, though the world knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.
26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
And to them I have communicated, and will communicate thy name: that I being in them, they may share in the love with which thou lovest me.
