17:1 Jesus
said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven,
he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your
Son, that your Son
may also glorify you; 17:2 even as you gave him authority over all
flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 17:3
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and
him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 17:4 I glorified you on the earth. I
have accomplished the work which you have given me to do. 17:5 Now,
Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with
you before the world existed. 17:6 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. 17:7 Now they have known
that all things whatever you have given me are from you, 17:8 for the
words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received
them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have
believed that you sent me. 17:9 I pray for them. I don't pray for the
world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
17:10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I
am glorified in them. 17:11 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. 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your
name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost,
except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
17:13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world,
that they may have my joy made full in themselves. 17:14 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. 17:15 I pray not that you would
take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil
one. 17:16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.54 17:18 As
you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
17:19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also
may be sanctified in truth. 17:20 Not for these only do I pray, but
for those also who believe in me through their word, 17:21 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.
17:22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that
they may be one, even as we are one; 17:23 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. 17:24 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. 17:25 Righteous Father, the world hasn't
known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 17:26 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."
