Chapter 17
After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
1
‘Father, the hour has come: glorify your Son so that your Son may glorify you;
2
and, through the power over all mankind[*a] that you have given him, let him give eternal life to all those you have entrusted to him.
3
And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4
I have glorified you on earth and finished the work that you gave me to do.
5
Now, Father, it is time for you to glorify me with that glory I had with you before ever the world was.
6
I have made your name known to the men you took from the world to give me. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7
Now at last they know that all you have given me comes indeed from you;
8
for I have given them the teaching you gave to me, and they have truly accepted this, that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me.
9
I pray for them; I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they belong to you:
10
all I have is yours and all you have is mine, and in them I am glorified.
11
I am not in the world any longer, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us.
12
While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except the one who chose to be lost,[*b] and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
13
But now I am coming to you and while still in the world I say these things to share my joy with them to the full.
14
I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world.
15
I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the evil one.
16
They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
17
Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth.
18
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world,
19
and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.
20
I pray not only for these, but for those also who through their words will believe in me.
21
May they all be one. Father, may they be one in us, as you are in me and I am in you, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
22
I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one.
23
With me in them and you in me, may they be so completely one that the world will realise that it was you who sent me and that I have loved them as much as you loved me.
24
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see the glory you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25
Father, Righteous One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
26
I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.’
