John 16:32–17:21

³²Behold, ^dthe hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ^eyou will be scattered, each to his own home, and ^fwill leave me alone. ^gYet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³I have said these things to you, that ^hin me you may have peace. ⁱIn the world you will have ^jtribulation. But ^ktake heart; ^lI have overcome the world.”

The High Priestly Prayer

17When Jesus had spoken these words, ^mhe lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ⁿthe hour has come; ^oglorify your Son that the Son may ^pglorify you, ²since ^qyou have given him authority over all flesh, ^rto give eternal life to all ^swhom you have given him. ^3tAnd this is eternal life, ^uthat they know you, ^vthe only ^wtrue God, and ^xJesus Christ whom you have sent. ⁴I ^yglorified you on earth, ^zhaving accomplished the work that you gave me to do. ⁵And now, Father, ^aglorify me in your own presence with the glory ^bthat I had with you ^cbefore the world existed.

^6d“I have manifested your name to the people ^ewhom you gave me out of the world. ^fYours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. ⁷Now they know that everything ^fthat you have given me is from you. ⁸For I have given them ^gthe words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ^hI came from you; and ⁱthey have believed that you sent me. ⁹I am praying for them. ^jI am not praying for the world but for those ^kwhom you have given me, for ^lthey are yours. ^10mAll mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ⁿI am glorified in them. ¹¹And I am no longer in the world, but ^othey are in the world, and ^pI am coming to you. ^qHoly Father, ^rkeep them in your name, ^swhich you have given me, ^tthat they may be one, ^ueven as we are one. ^12vWhile I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ^wguarded them, and ^xnot one of them has been lost except ^ythe son of destruction, ^zthat the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³But now ^aI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ^bmy joy fulfilled in themselves. ^14cI have given them your word, and ^dthe world has hated them ^ebecause they are not of the world, ^fjust as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I ^gdo not ask that you ^htake them out of the world, but that you ⁱkeep them from ^jthe evil one.^{1 16k}They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ^17lSanctify them² in the truth; ^myour word is truth. ¹⁸ⁿAs you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹And ^ofor their sake ^pI consecrate myself,³ that they also ^qmay be sanctified⁴ in truth.

²⁰“I do not ^rask for these only, but also for those ^swho will believe in me through their word, ^21tthat they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^uthey also may be in ^vus, so that the world ^wmay believe that you have sent me.
