John 17

ABU(i) 1 THESE words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee; 2 as thou gayest him authority over all flesh, that as many as thou hast given to him, to them he should give eternal life. 3 And this is the eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou didst send. 4 I glorified thee on the earth; I finished the work which thou hast given me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee; 8 because the words which thou gayest me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew in truth that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine. 10 And all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world; and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep those in thy name whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are, 12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou hast given me I watched over and none of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in them. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth. 20 And I pray not for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word; 21 that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. 22 And the glory which thou hast given to me I have given to them, that they may be one, as we are one; 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them as thou lovedst me. 24 Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Father! And the world knew thee not! But I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me; 26 and I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.
