- Chapter 17 -

1
After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will glorify you-
2
just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom you have given him.
3
This is eternal life: That they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4
I glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you have given me to do.
5
Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.

Prayer for the Disciples

6
I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7
Now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you,
8
for I have given them all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9
I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10
Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and I am glorified in them.
11
I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just as we are one.
12
While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.
13
Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15
I do not ask for you to take them away from the world, but for you to keep them from the evil one.
16
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17
Set them apart by the truth. Your word is truth.
18
Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19
For their sakes I have set myself apart, so that they themselves may also be set apart in truth.

Prayer for All Believers

20
I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21
so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. I pray that they will also be in us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
22
The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will be one, just as we are one:
23
I in them, and you in me-that they may be brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you loved me.
24
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25
Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these know that you sent me.
26
I made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love with which you have loved me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
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;
2
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4
I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5
Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

Prayer for the Disciples

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.
7
Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
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.
9
I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10
All things that are mine are yours, and yours are 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.
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.
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.
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.
15
I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would 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 your truth. Your word is truth. (a)
18
As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Prayer for All Believers

20
“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
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.
22
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 sent 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 see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25
Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
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.”
