When 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, After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come.

3 and this is life eternal, to acknowledge thee to be the only true God, and Jesus to be the Messiah whom thou hast sent.

6 I have displayed thy name among those whom you have chosen out of the world for me: thine they were, and you gave them me; and they have kept thy word. “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world.

They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7 now they believe that the instructions you gave me came from thee. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8 for I have given to them the instructions which you gave me; and they have received them; and have sincerely believ'd that I came from thee, and are persuaded that thou didst send me. For 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. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9 "It is for them I pray: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, because they are thine. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10 for every thing that is mine is thine, and what is thine is mine, and I am glorified by them. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11 and now I shall be no more in the world, but they will be in the world, when I am come to thee, holy father keep them by that authority, with which thou hast invested me, that they may be one, as we are. And 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. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
12 by your authority I have kept them, during my being with them in the world: those that you gave me I have kept, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition: according as the scripture foretold. While 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. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 now that I am coming to thee, while I am here, I make these requests for them, that their joy in me may be compleat. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15 I do not pray you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the malignity of it. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16 they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

21 that they all may be one, as thou, father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. that 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. that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 and the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may have a perfect union, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. I 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. I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am going; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; yet, Father, 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. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 O righteous father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
26 to them I have declared thy name, and will declare it: that thou mayst love them as thou hast loved me, and I have loved them." I 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.” I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
