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;

2 even as you gave him authority over
all flesh, so 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 youhave givenme are fromyou,

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.

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 aremine, and I amglorified 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. 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.

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 ofthe 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 will 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 Iin them, and you in me, thatthey 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.”

17:17 Psalms 119:142
