NET Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
NET BibleEnglish Standard Version
1When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you--1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,
2just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3Now this is eternal life--that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.3And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.
5And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
6"I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.6“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7Now they understand that everything you have given me comes from you,7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.
8because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
9I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
12When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
16They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world.16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth.17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
18Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.18As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they too may be truly set apart. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20"I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one--22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
23I in them and you in me--that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me. 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
24"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these men know that you sent me.25O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
26I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them." 26I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
