John 17
Joh 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;
Joh 17:2 even as you
gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all
whom you have given him.
Joh 17:3 This is
eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him
whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
Joh 17:4 I glorified
you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given
me to do.
Joh 17:5 Now, Father,
glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you
before the world existed.
Joh 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.
Joh 17:7 Now they have
known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
Joh 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.
Joh 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.
Joh 17:10 All things
that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in
them.
Joh 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.
Joh 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.
Joh 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.
Joh 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.
Joh 17:15 I pray not
that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them
from the evil one.
Joh 17:16 They are not
of the world even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them
in your truth. Your word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As you sent
me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
Joh 17:19 For their
sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified
in truth.
Joh 17:20 Not for these
only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their
word,
Joh 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.
Joh 17:22 The glory
which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one,
even as we are one;
Joh 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.
Joh 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.
Joh 17:25 Righteous
Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew
that you sent me.
Joh 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."
