# John 17 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. 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,
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
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.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. 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.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. 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.
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. 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.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. I 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.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. 
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. 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.
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. 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.
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. 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.
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
25. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
26. 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.”
