John 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.
