John 17

1 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said — 'Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2 according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that — all that Thou hast given to him — he may give to them life age-during; (aiōnios g166)

For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. (aiōnios g166)

3 and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send — Jesus Christ; (aiōnios g166)

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do [it].

I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

5 'And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

6 I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7 now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

8 because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9 'I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

10 and all mine are Thine, and Thine [are] mine, and I have been glorified in them;

All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

11 and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

12 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 'And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

14 I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15 I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

16 'Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

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

17 sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

18 as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

19 and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

20 'And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

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

that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 'And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one;

I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one 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 didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

24 'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 'Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

26 and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
