| 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. |
