CHAPTER 17

When Jesus

had spoken

these things,

He lifted up

His

eyes

to

heaven

and said,

“Father,

the

hour

has come.

Glorify

Your

Son,

that

Your

Son

may glorify

You.

For

You granted

Him

authority

over all

humanity,

so that

He may give

eternal

life

to all

those

You have given

Him.

Now

this

is

eternal

life,

that

they may know

You,

the

only

TRUE

God,

and

Jesus

Christ,

whom

You have sent.

I

have glorified

You

on

earth

by accomplishing

the

work

You gave

Me

to

do.

And

now,

Father,

glorify

Me

in

Your presence

with the

glory

I had

with

You

before

the

world

existed.

I have revealed

Your

name

to those

You have given

Me

out of

the

world.

They were

Yours;

You gave

them

to Me,

and

they have kept

Your

word.

Now

they know

that

everything

You have given

Me

comes

from

You.

For

I have given

them

the

words

You gave

Me,

and

they

have received them.

They knew

with certainty

that

I came

from

You,

and

they believed

that

You

sent

Me.

I

ask

on

their behalf.

I do not ask

on behalf of

the

world,

but

on behalf of

those

You have given

Me;

for

they are

Yours.

All

I have

is

Yours,

and

all

You have

is Mine;

and

in

them

I have been glorified.

I will no longer be

in

the

world,

but

they

are

in

the

world,

and I

am coming

to

You.

Holy

Father,

protect

them

by

Your

name,

the name

You gave

Me,

so that

they may be

one

as

We are one.

While

I was

with

them,

I

protected

and

preserved

them

by

Your

name,

the name

You gave

Me.

Not one

of

them

has been lost,

except

the

son

of destruction,

so that

the

Scripture

would be fulfilled.

But

now

I am coming

to

You,

and

I am saying

these things

while I am in

the

world,

so that

they may have

My

joy

fulfilled

within

them.

I

have given

them

Your

word

and

the

world

has hated

them;

for

they are

not

of

the

world,

just as

I

am

not

of

the

world.

I am not asking

that

You take

them

out of

the

world,

but

that

You keep

them

from

the

evil one.

They are

not

of

the

world,

just as

I

am

not

of

the

world.

Sanctify

them

by

the

truth;

Your

word

is

truth.

As

You sent

Me

into

the

world,

I have also

sent

them

into

the

world.

For

them

I

sanctify

Myself,

so that

they

too

may be

sanctified

by

the truth.

I am not asking

on behalf

of them

alone,

but

also

on behalf of

those who

will believe

in

Me

through

their

message,

that

all of them

may be

one,

as

You,

Father,

are in

Me,

and I am

in

You.

May

they

also

be

in

Us,

so that

the

world

may believe

that

You

sent

Me.

I

have given

them

the

glory

You gave

Me,

so that

they may be

one

as

We

are one—

I

in

them

and

You

in

Me—

that

they may be

perfectly

united,

so that

the

world

may know

that

You

sent

Me

and

have loved

them

just as

You have loved

Me.

Father,

I want

those

You have given

Me

to be

with

Me

where

I

am,

that

they may see

the

glory

You gave

Me

because

You loved

Me

before

the foundation

of the world.

Righteous

Father,

although

the

world

has not

known

You,

I

know

You,

and

they

know

that

You

sent

Me.

And

I have made

Your

name

known to them

and

will continue to make it known,

so that

the

love

You have for

Me

may be

in

them,

and I

in

them.”
