John 17

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;

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence 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.

"I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

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.

For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send 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.

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory 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.

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--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.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may 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.

"But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

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.

I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

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.

that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just 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.

I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast 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.

"Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send 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.”

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
