John

Chapter 17

1 These things spoke the Jesus, and lifted up the eyes of him to the heaven, and said: O Father, is come the hour; glorify of thee the son, that also the son of thee may glorify thee;

2 as thou gavest to him authority over all flesh, so that all which thou hast given to him, he may give to them life age-lasting.

3 This and is the age-lasting life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent Jesus Anointed.

4 I thee glorified on the earth; the work I finished, which thou hast given me, that I might do.

5 And now glorify me, thou O Father, with thyself, with the glory, which I had, before of the the world to be, with thee.

6 I manifested of thee the name to the men, whom thou hast given to me out of the world; thine they were, and to me them thou hast given; and the word of thee they have kept.

7 Now they know, that all things whatever thou hast given me, from thee is;

8 because the words which thou hast given me, I have given to them; and they received, and knew truly, that thou thee I came out, and believed, that thou me didst send.

9 I concerning them ask; not concerning the world I ask, but concerning whom thou hast given me, because thine they are;

10 and the mine all thine is, and the thine mine, and I have been glorified in them.

11 And no more I am in the world, and these in the world are, and I to thee am coming. O Father holy, keep them in the name of thee, by which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, as we.  

12 When I was with them in the world, I kept them in the name of thee; whom thou hast given to me I guarded, and no one of them was destroyed, if not the son of the destruction, that the writings may be fulfilled.

13 Now and to thee I am coming, and these things I say in the world, that they may have the joy the mine fulfilled in them.

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

15 Not I ask, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from the evil one.

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

17 Sanctify them in the truth of thee; the word the thine truth is.

18 As me thou didst send into the world, also I sent them into the world.

19 And in behalf of them I sanctify myself, so that also they may be sanctified in truth.

20 Not concerning these and I ask alone, but also concerning those believing through the word of them into me.

21 That all one may be; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that also they in us one may be; that the world may believe, that thou me didst send.

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

23 (I in them, and thou in me); that they may be perfected into one, and that may know the world, that thou me didst send, and thou didst love them, as me thou didst love.

24 O Father, whom thou given to me, I wish, that where am I, also they may be with me; that they may behold the glory the mine, which thou didst give to me, because thou didst love me before a laying down of a world.

25 O Father righteous, and the world thee not knew; I but thee knew, and these knew that thou me didst send.

26 And I made known to them the name of thee, and will make known; that the love which thou didst love me, in them may be, and I in them.
