Chapter 17 |
|
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 also 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 |
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. |
| 4 | I have
glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest 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 have
manifested 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 word. |
| 7 |
Now they have 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 have known surely that I came out from thee, and
they have believed that thou didst send me. |
|
9 | I pray for them: 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 I am no more in the world, but these
are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name
those whom 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 I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that
the scripture might be fulfilled. |
| 13 | And now come I to thee; and
these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves. |
|
14 | I have given them thy word; and the world hath
hated them, because they are not of the world, even 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, even as I am not of the world. |
|
17 | Sanctify them through
thy truth: thy word is truth. |
|
18 | As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world. |
| 19 | And for
their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the
truth. |
| 20
| Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word; |
|
21 | That they all may be one;
as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. |
| 22 | And the
glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we
are one: |
| 23
| I in them, and thou 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 also, whom
thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which
thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
world. |
| 25
| O righteous Father, the 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 may be in them, and I in them. |
