João 17

These words Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you:

Since you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.

And now, O Father, glorify me together with you; with the glory which I had with you before the world was.

I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.

Now they know that all things that you have given me are from you.

For I have given to them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from you, and they have believed that you did send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom you have given me; for they are yours.

And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.

And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep those whom you have given me in your own name, that they may be one, as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those you gave me I have kept, and none of them has been lost, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

And now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

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

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

Sanctify them in the truth: your word is truth.

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

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified in the truth.

I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

That they all may be one; 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 have sent me.

And the glory which you gave me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfectly one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.

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

O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I have known you, and these know that you have sent me.

And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
