John 17

MSTC(i) 1 These words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come glorify thy son that thy son may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 This is life eternal: that they might know thee, that only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now glorify me, thou father, with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee yer the world was. 6 "I have declared thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy sayings. 7 Now have they known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me, are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and know surely that I came out from thee: and do believe that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them, and I pray not for the world: but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine, 10 and all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And now am I no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy father, keep in thine own name them which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gavest me, have I kept, and none of them is lost, but that lost child: that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 Now come I to thee, and these words speak I in the world, that they might have my joy full in them. 14 I have given them thy words, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I desire not that thou shouldest take them out of the world: but that thou keep them from evil. 16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17 "Sanctify them with thy truth. Thy saying is truth. 18 As thou didst sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world; 19 And for their sakes sanctify I myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 I pray not for them alone: but for them also which shall believe on me through their preaching, 21 that they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee; that they may be also one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And that glory that thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one. 23 I am in them, and thou art in me: that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world. 25 O righteous father, the very world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, be in them, and that I be in them."
