John 17

¹These things spake Jesus: and lifting up his eyes into Heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

²As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that all which thou hast given him, to them he may give life everlasting.

³And this is life everlasting that they know thee, the only true God, and whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ.

⁴I have glorified thee upon the earth: I have consummated the work which thou gavest me to do:

⁵and now glorify thou me O Father with thyself, with the glory which I had before the world was, with thee.

⁶I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them: and they have kept thy word.

⁷Now they have known that all things which thou gavest me are from thee:

⁸because the words which thou gavest me, I have given them: and they have received, and known in very deed that I came forth from thee, and have believed that thou didst send me.

⁹For them do I pray: Not for the world do I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me;

¹⁰because they be thine: and all things be thine, and thine be mine: and I am glorified in them. And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, & I come to thee.

¹¹Holy father, keep them in thy name, whom thou hast given me; that they may be one, as also we.

¹²When I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me, have I kept: and none of them perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

¹³And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.

¹⁴I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world: as I also am not of the world.

¹⁵I pray not that thou take them away out of the world, but that thou preserve them from evil.

¹⁶Of the world they are not: as I also am not of the world.

¹⁷Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

¹⁸As thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

¹⁹And for them I do sanctify myself: that they also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰And not for them only do I pray, but for them also that by their word shall believe in me:

²¹that they all may be one, as thou (Father) in me & I in thee; that they also in us may be one: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²²And the glory that thou hast given me, have I given to them; that they may be one as we also are one.

²³I in them, and thou in me: that they may be consummate in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.

²⁴Father, whom thou hast given me, I will, that where I am, they also may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.

²⁵Just Father, the world hath not known thee. But I have known thee: and these have known, that thou didst send me.

²⁶And I have notified thy name to them, and will notify it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
