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:

17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should

give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the

only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the

work which thou gavest me to do.

17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with

the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

17:6 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.

17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast

given me are of thee.

17:8 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.

17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them

which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am

glorified in them.

17:11 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].

17:12 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.

17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the

world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

17:14 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.

17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,

but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also

sent them into the world.

17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also

might be sanctified through the truth.

17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which

shall believe on me through their word;

17:21 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.

17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that

they may be one, even as we are one:

17:23 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.

17:24 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.

17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I

have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

17:26 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.
