John Chapter 17 Back Next{17:1}
Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to
heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
{17:2} even as you gave him authority over all
flesh, he will give
eternal life to all whom you have given him.
{17:3} This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus
Christ.
{17:4} I glorified you on the
earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
{17:5} Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
{17:6} I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
{17:7} Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
{17:8} for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
{17:9} I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
{17:10} All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
{17:11} I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
{17:12} While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
{17:13} But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
{17:14} I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
{17:15} I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
{17:16} They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
{17:17} Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.[
Ref]
{17:18} As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
{17:19} For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
{17:20} Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
{17:21} that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
{17:22} The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
{17:23} I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
{17:24} Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
{17:25} Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
{17:26} I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."
