John 17

1 When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

6 I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

6 “I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

8 For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

9 I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

11 I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

12 While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

14 I have given them Your word and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

14 I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

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

17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

18 As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

19 For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,

21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,

23 I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
