John 17

¹ These things speaks Jesus, and lifting His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, come has the hour. Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son should be glorifying Thee, ² according as Thou givest Him authority over all flesh, that everything which Thou hast given to Him, He should be giving it to them, even life eonian. ³ Now it is eonian life that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Him Whom Thou dost commission, Jesus Christ. ⁴ I glorify Thee on the earth, finishing the work which Thou hast given Me, that I should be doing it. ⁵ And now glorify Thou Me, Father, with Thyself, with the glory which I had before the world is with Thee. ⁶ I manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou givest Me out of the world. Thine they were, and to Me Thou givest them, and Thy word they have kept. ⁷ Now they know that all, whatever Thou hast given Me, is from Thee, ⁸ for the declarations which Thou hast given Me, I have given them, and they took them, and know truly that I came out from Thee, and they believe that thou dost commission Me. ⁹ Concerning them I am asking. Not concerning the world am I asking, but concerning those whom Thou hast given Me, for they are Thine. ¹⁰ And Mine all are Thine, and Thine Mine. And I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ And no longer am I in the world, and they are in the world, and I to Thee am coming. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, in which Thou hast given them to Me, that they may be one, according as We are. ¹² When I was with them in the world, I kept those whom Thou hast given Me in Thy name, and I guard them, and not one of them perished, except the son of destruction, that the scripture may be fulfilled. ¹³ Yet now to Thee am I coming, and these things am I speaking in the world that they may be having My joy filled full in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Thy word. And the world hates them, for they are not of the world, according as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I am not asking that Thou shouldst be taking them away out of the world, but that Thou shouldst be keeping them from the wicked one. ¹⁶ Of the world they are not, according as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Hallow them by Thy truth. Thy word is truth. ¹⁸ According as Thou dost dispatch Me into the world, I also dispatch them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I am hallowing Myself, that they also may be hallowed by the truth. ²⁰ Yet not concerning these only am I asking, but also concerning those who are believing in Me through their word, ²¹ that they may all be one, according as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us, that the world should be believing that Thou dost commission Me. ²² And I have given them the glory which Thou has given Me, that they may be one, according as We are One, ²³ I in them and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in one, and that the world may know that Thou dost commission Me and dost love them according as Thou dost love Me. ²⁴ Father, those whom Thou hast given Me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with Me, that they may be beholding My glory which Thou has given Me, for Thou lovest Me before the disruption of the world. ²⁵ Just Father, the world, also, knew Thee not, yet I knew Thee. And these know that Thou dost commission Me. ²⁶ And I make known to them Thy name, and I shall make it known, that the love with which Thou lovest Me may be in them, and I in them."
