John 17
1
These things spoke Jesus, and lifted··up◦ His eyes to heaven, and said◦, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,
2
as Thou hast given Him authority over all flesh, that as to every thing which Thou hast given Him, He might give to them eternal life.
3
And◦ this is eternal life, that◦ they might know Thee, the only true God, and Him whom Thou hast sent◦, Jesus Christ.
4
I◦ have glorified Thee on the earth; I have finished the work that Thou hast given Me to do.
5
And now, O Father, glorify Me with Thyself, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.
6
I have manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given Me out of the world; they were Thine, and Thou hast given them to Me, and they have kept Thy word.
7
Now they have known that all things, as··many··as Thou hast given Me, are from▵ Thee,
8
because the sayings which Thou hast given Me, I have given them; and they have received, and have known truly that I came forth from Thee; and they have believed that Thou didst send◦ Me.
9
I plead for them; I plead not for the world, but for them whom Thou hast given Me, because they are Thine.
10
And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them.
11
And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one as We are.
12
When I was with them in the world, I◦ kept them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given Me I have guarded, and none of◦ them has been destroyed except the son of destruction, that◦ the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13
But◦ now I come to Thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in them.
14
I have given them Thy Word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15
I plead not that Thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou wouldest keep them from the wicked.
16
They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17
Hallow them in Thy truth; Thy Word is truth.
18
As Thou hast sent◦ Me into the world, I◦ also have sent◦ them into the world.
19
And for their sakes I hallow Myself, that they also may be hallowed in the truth.
20
But◦ I plead not for these alone, but also for those who believe in Me by1 their word,
21
that they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent◦ Me.
22
And I have given to them the glory which Thou hast given to Me, that they may be one, even as We are one;
23
I◦ in them, and Thou in Me, that◦ they may be perfected into one, and that◦ the world may know that Thou hast sent◦ Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.
24
Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which Thou hast given Me, because Thou didst love Me before the founding of the world.
25
O just Father, the world has not known Thee, but◦ I◦ have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent◦ Me.
26
And I have made known to them Thy name, and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
