Gospel According to John
17: 1These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father,
the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee: 17:2even as thou
gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he
should give eternal life. 17:3And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the
only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ. 17:4I glorified
thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
17:5And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I
had with thee before the world was. 17:6I manifested thy name unto the men whom
thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and
they have kept thy word. 17:7Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast
given me are from thee: 17:8for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto
them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee,
and they believed that thou didst send me. 17:9I pray for them: I pray not for the
world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: 17:10and all things
that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. 17:11And I
am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one,
even as we are. 17:12While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou
hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 17:13But now I come to thee; and
these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in
themselves. 17:14I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because
they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17:15I pray not that thou
shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil one. 17:16They are not of the world even as I am not of the world. 17:17Sanctify
them in the truth: thy word is truth. 17:18As thou didst send me into the world, even
so sent I them into the world. 17:19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they
themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 17:20Neither for these only do I pray, but
for them also that believe on me through their word; 17:21that they may all be one;
even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the
world may believe that thou didst send me. 17:22And the glory which thou hast
given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 17:23I in
them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may
know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.
17:24Father, I desire 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. 17:25O righteous Father, the world knew thee
not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me; 17:26and I made
known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou
lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.
