CHAP. XVII.

THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,

Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify

thee: (2)even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that

with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to

them eternal life: (3)and this is eternal life, that they should know

thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the

Messiah. (4)I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work

which thou gavest me to perform. (5)And now, Father, do thou glorify me

with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.

(6)I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of

the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them;

and thy word have they kept. (7)Now have they known, that all things

whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. (8)For the declarations

which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have

received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and

they have believed that thou hast sent me. (9)I entreat for them: I

make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for

they are thine. (10)And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have

been glorified in them. (11)And now no longer am I in this world, but

these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve

them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one,

as we are. (12)When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by

thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of

them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might

be fulfilled. (13)But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these

things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in

themselves. (14)I have given them thy word and the world hath hated

them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

(15)I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but

that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one. (16)They are not

of the world, just as I am not of the world. (17)Sanctify them by thy

truth: thy word is truth. (18)As thou hast sent me into the world, even

so have I sent them into the world. (19)And for them I devote myself,

that they also might be sanctified by the truth. (20)And not for them

do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me

through their word; (21)that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me,

and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may

believe that thou hast sent me. (22)And I have given them the glory,

which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even 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 hast sent me, and hast loved them, as

thou hast loved me. (24)Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will

that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my

glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the

foundation of the world.

(25)Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have

known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. (26)And I have

made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love

wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
