John 17

1 These words spake 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:

After Jesus said these things, he lifted up his eyes to the heavens and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son so that the Son will glorify you—

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (aiōnios g166)

just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he would give eternal life to everyone whom you have given him. (aiōnios g166)

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

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

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

I glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work that you have given me to do.

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Now, Father, glorify me along with yourself with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

Now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you,

8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

for I have given them all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and I am glorified in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].

I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just as we are one.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

I do not ask for you to take them away from the world, but for you to keep them from the evil one.

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

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Set them apart by the truth. Your word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

For their sakes I have set myself apart, so that they themselves may also be set apart in truth.

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through 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.

so that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

The glory that you gave me, I have given to them, so that they will be one, just as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

I in them, and you in me—that they may be brought to complete unity, so that the world will know that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you loved me.

24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these know that you sent me.

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

I made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love with which you have loved me will be in them, and I will be in them.”
