John 17:1–11

JESUS PRAYS FOR HIMSELF

17Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son^u may glorify you,^{v 2}since you gave him authority over all people,^Cw so that he may give eternal life^x to everyone you have given him.^{y 3}This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only^z true^aa God, and the one you have sent^ab—Jesus Christ.^{ac 4}I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. ⁵Now, Father,^ad glorify me in your presence with that glory^ae I had with you before the world existed.^af

JESUS PRAYS FOR HIS DISCIPLES

⁶“I have revealed your name^ag to the people you gave me^ah from the world.^ai They were yours, you gave them to me,^aj and they have kept your word.^{ak 7}Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, ⁸because I have given them the words you gave me.^al They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you.^am They have believed that you sent me.

⁹“I pray^D for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,^an because they are yours. ¹⁰Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,^ao and I am glorified in them. ¹¹I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.^ap Holy^aq Father, protect^E them by your name^ar that you have given me, so that they may be one^as as we are^at one.
