John Chapter 17

from the World English Bible

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.

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.*

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.

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.”
