John 17:1–8

Jesus Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,

the hour has come.

Glorify Your Son

so that the Son a may glorify You, b

2 for You gave Him authority

over all flesh; c d

so He may give eternal life e

to all You have given Him. f

3 This is eternal life:

that they may know You, the only g true h God,

and the One You have sent i—Jesus Christ. j

4 I have glorified You on the earth

by completing the work You gave Me to do.

5 Now, Father, k glorify Me in Your presence

with that glory l I had with You

before the world existed. m

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 I have revealed Your name n

to the men You gave Me o from the world. p

They were Yours, You gave them to Me, q

and they have kept Your word. r

7 Now they know that all things

You have given to Me are from You,

8 because the words that You gave Me, s

I have given them.

They have received them

and have known for certain

that I came from You. t

They have believed that You sent Me.
