John 17: 1 - 11
|
| 1 | When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee, |
| 2 | since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. |
| 3 | And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. |
| 4 | I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do; |
| 5 | and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made. |
| 6 | "I have manifested thy name to 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. |
| 7 | Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee; |
| 8 | for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me. |
| 9 | I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; |
| 10 | all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. |
| 11 | And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. |
