John 17:1–8

1  These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee; 2  as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal. 3  And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4  I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it; 5  and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

6  I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. 7  Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee; 8  for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.
