John 17
1
These things spoke Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the
hour is come; glorify your Son, that the son may glorify you:
2
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him,
he should give eternal life.
3
And this is life eternal, that they should know you the only true God, and him whom
you did send, [even] Jesus Christ.
4
I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work which you have given me
to do.
5
And now, Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with
you before the world was.
6
I manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were,
and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.
7
Now they know that all things whatever you have given me are from you:
8
for the words which you gave me I have given to them; and they received [them], and
knew of a truth that I came forth from you, and they believed that you did send me.
9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom you have given me; for
they are yours:
10
and all things that are mine are yours, and your are mine: and I am glorified in them.
11
And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy
Father, keep them in your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even
as we [are].
12
While I was with them, I kept them in your name which you have given me: and I guarded
them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might
be fulfilled.
13
But now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my
joy made full in themselves.
14
I have given them your word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world.
15
I pray not that you should take them from the world, but that you should keep them
from the evil [one].
16
They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
17
Sanctify them in the truth: your word is truth.
18
As you did send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.
19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified
in truth.
20
Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their
word;
21
that they may all be one; even as you, Father, [art] in me, and I in you, that they
also may be in us: that the world may believe that you did send me.
22
And the glory which you have given me I have given to them; that they may be one,
even 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 did send me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
24
Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that
they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation
of the world.
25
O righteous Father, the world knew you not, but I knew you; and these knew that you
did send me;
26
and I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith
you loved me may be in them, and I in them.
