John 17
- 1These words spoke Jesus, and looked up to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you.
- 2As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
- 3And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you have sent.
- 4I have glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
- 5And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
- 6I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me. And they have kept your word.
- 7Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are of you.
- 8For I have given to them the words which you gave me. And they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
- 9I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those you have given me, because they are yours.
- 10And all mine are yours, and yours are mine. And I am glorified in them.
- 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your own name those you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
- 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of destruction, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
- 13And now I come to you. And these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
- 14I have given them your word. And the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
- 15I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
- 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
- 17Sanctify them through your truth. Your word is truth.
- 18As you have sent me into the world, even so I have also sent them into the world.
- 19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
- 20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe in me through their word.
- 21That they all may be one. 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 have sent me.
- 22And the glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one.
- 23I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one. And that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
- 24Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, which you have given me, because you loved me before the world's foundation.
- 25O righteous Father, the world has not known you. But I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
- 26And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
