John 17:1–11

The High Priestly Prayer

1 Jesus spoke these things; and alifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; bglorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

2 even as aYou gave Him authority over all flesh, that bto 1all whom You have given Him, cHe may give eternal life.

3 “This is eternal life, that they may know You, athe only true God, and Jesus Christ whom bYou have sent.

4 “aI glorified You on the earth, 1bhaving accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

5 “Now, Father, aglorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had bwith You before the world was.

6 “aI have manifested Your name to the men whom bYou gave Me out of the world; they were cYours and You gave them to Me, and they have dkept Your word.

7 “Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

8 for athe words which You gave Me bI have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that cI came forth from You, and they believed that dYou sent Me.

9 “aI ask on their behalf; bI do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom cYou have given Me; for dthey are Yours;

10 and aall things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 “I am no longer in the world; and yet athey themselves are in the world, and bI come to You. cHoly Father, keep them in Your name, the name dwhich You have given Me, that ethey may be one even as We are.
