17:1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “My Lord, the time has come. Glorify Your servant, that Your servant may also glorify You;

17:2 even as You gave him a mission to his people, so he will guide to eternal life all whom You have given him.

17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You sent as a messenger.

17:4 I glorified You on the earth. I have accomplished the work which You have given me to do.

17:5 Now, my Lord, grant me honor in Your presence.

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 from You. 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 are Yours, and You are 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 Lord, keep them through Your name, that they may be united.

17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. I have kept those whom You have given me. 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.

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 will believe through their word,

17:21 that they may all be united in belief; that the world may believe that You sent me.

17:22 The honor which You have given me, I have given to them, that they may be united,

17:23 that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that You sent me and loved them, even as You loved me.

17:24 My Lord, I desire that they also whom You have given me be with me where I am, that they may see the honor which You have given me.

17:25 Righteous Lord, 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.”
