John 17
Literal Emphasis Translation Par ▾ 
1Jesus spoke these things and having lifted up His eyes unto heaven, said, Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, so that the Son might glorify You. 2Just as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that all whom You have given Him, He should give to them life eternal. 3And this is eternal life, that they should know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. 4I glorified You upon the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me that I should do. 5And now, You Father, glorify Me [along] with Yourself with the glory that I had [along] with You before the world existed.

6I made Your name apparent to the men whom You have given to Me from out of the world. Yours they were, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7Now they have known that all things that You have given Me are of You; 8Because the sayings (rhemata) that You have given Me, I have given them and they received them, and knew truly that I came out from You; and they believed that You sent Me. 9I am asking concerning them. I do not ask concerning the world, but concerning those whom You have given Me, because they are Yours. 10And all things of Mine are Yours; and Yours, Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, and yet they themselves are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, just as We [are]. 12When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me. And I guarded [them], and no one from out of them has perished, except the son of destruction (latin-perditionis, cut off, loss, ruin), so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13However now I am coming to You; and I speak these things in the world, so that they might have My joy fulfilled in them. 14I have given them Your word, and the world hated them, because they are not from out of the world, just as I am not from out of the world. 15I do not ask that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from out of the evil. 16They are not from out of the world, just as I am not from out of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world; 19And for their sake, I sanctify Myself, so that they also might be sanctified in truth.

20However I do not ask concerning only these, but also concerning those believing through their word unto Me- 21So that all might be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that also they might be in Us, so that the world might believe that You sent Me.

22And the glory which You given Me, I have given them, so that they might be one, just as We are one: 23I in them and You in Me, so that they might be perfected (consummated) into one, so that the world might know that You sent Me, and loved then just as You loved Me. 24Father, those whom You have given Me, I wish (will) that where I am they also might be with Me, so that they might behold My glory that You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25Righteous (Just) Father, and the world has not known You, however I have known You, and these have known that You have sent Me. 26And I made known to them Your name and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them and I in them.
