1 T hese things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

When Jesus had said these things, He looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come! Honor Your Son so Your Son may honor You.

2 a ccording as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give to them life age-during;

You have given Him power over all men. He is to give life that lasts forever to all You have given to Him.

3 a nd this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

This is life that lasts forever. It is to know You, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ Whom You have sent.

4 I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do.

I honored You on earth. I did the work You gave Me to do.

5 ` And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

Now, Father, honor Me with the honor I had with You before the world was made. Jesus Prays for His Followers

6 I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

“I have made Your name known to the people You have given Me from the world. They were Yours but You gave them to Me. They have obeyed Your Word.

7 n ow they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

Now they know that everything You have given Me came from You.

8 b ecause the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

I gave them the Word which You gave Me. They received it. They know I came from You and they believe You sent Me.

9 ` I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world. I pray for those You gave Me. They are Yours.

10 a nd all mine are Thine, and Thine mine, and I have been glorified in them;

All that is Mine is Yours. All that is Yours is Mine. I have been honored through them.

11 a nd no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

I am no longer in the world. I am coming to You. But these are still in the world. Holy Father, keep those You have given to Me in the power of Your name. Then they will be one, even as We are One.

12 w hen I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in the power of Your name. I have kept watch over those You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost except the one who is going to be destroyed, which is the son of death. The Holy Writings said it would happen.

13 ` And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

But now I come to You, Father. I say these things while I am in the world. In this way, My followers may have My joy in their hearts.

14 I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

“I have given Your Word to My followers. The world hated them because they do not belong to the world, even as I do not belong to the world.

15 I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

I do not ask You to take them out of the world. I ask You to keep them from the devil.

16 ` Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not;

My followers do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world.

17 s anctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

Make them holy for Yourself by the truth. Your Word is truth.

18 a s Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

“As You sent Me into the world so I have sent them into the world also.

19 a nd for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

I set Myself apart to be holy for them. Then they may be made holy by the truth. Jesus Prays for All Christians

20 ` And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

“I do not pray for these followers only. I pray for those who will put their trust in Me through the teaching they have heard.

21 t hat they all may be one, as Thou Father in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

May they all be as one, Father, as You are in Me and I am in You. May they belong to Us. Then the world will believe that You sent Me.

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

I gave them the honor You gave Me that they may be one as We are One.

23 I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

I am in them and You are in Me so they may be one and be made perfect. Then the world may know that You sent Me and that You love them as You love Me.

24 ` Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

“Father, I want My followers You gave Me to be with Me where I am. Then they may see My shining-greatness which You gave Me because You loved Me before the world was made.

25 ` Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

Holy Father, the world has not known You. I have known You. These have known You sent Me.

26 a nd I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

I have made Your name known to them and will make it known. So then the love You have for Me may be in them and I may be in them.”
