1 Jesus said these things, and 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, 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 forth from you, and 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. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except
the son of perdition, 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 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.”
