These 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:
even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou
hast given him, he should give eternal life. And this is life eternal, that
they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even
Jesus Christ. I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work
which thou hast given me to do. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine
own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I
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.
Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:
for 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. I pray for them: I pray not for the
world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: and all
things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in
them. And 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. While 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.
But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they
may have my joy made full in themselves. I 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. I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but
that thou shouldest 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: thy word is
truth. As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the
world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may
be sanctified in truth. Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also
that believe on me through their word; that 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. And the glory which thou
hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are
one; I 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. Father, 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. O righteous Father, the
world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send
me; and 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."
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
