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.”
