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
shouldst 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.
