John 17:1-19 ▼

1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up His eyes to the sky, and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You,

2 according as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, that—all that You have given to Him—He may give to them continuous life;

3 and this is the continuous life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Him whom You sent—Jesus Christ;

4 I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me, that I should do.

5 And now, glorify Me, You Father, with Yourself, with the glory that I had with You before the world was;

6 I revealed Your Name to the men whom You have given to Me out of the world; they were Yours, and You have given them to Me, and they have kept Your word;

7 now they have known that all things, as many as You have given to Me, are from You,

8 because the sayings that You have given to Me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9 I ask in regard to them; I do not ask in regard to the world, but in regard to those whom You have given to Me, because they are Yours,

10 and all Mine are Yours, and Yours [are] Mine, and I have been glorified in them;

11 and I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your Name, whom You have given to Me, that they may be one as We [are one];

12 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Your Name; I guarded those whom You have given to Me, and none of them were destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves;

14 I have given Your word to them, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

15 I do not ask that You may take them out of the world, but that You may keep them out of the evil.

16 They are not of the world, 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, I also sent them into the world;

19 and I sanctify Myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in truth themselves.
