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 ^hmay glorify You, ⁱ

²for You gave Him authority

over all flesh; ^jk

so He may give eternal life ^l

to all You have given Him. ^m

³This is eternal life:

that they may know You, the only ⁿtrue ^oGod,

and the One You have sent ^p—Jesus Christ. ^q

⁴I have glorified You on the earth

by completing the work You gave Me to do.

⁵Now, Father, ^rglorify Me in Your presence

with that glory ^sI had with You

before the world existed. ^t

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶I have revealed Your name ^u

to the men You gave Me ^vfrom the world. ^w

They were Yours, You gave them to Me, ^x

and they have kept Your word. ^y

⁷Now they know that all things

You have given to Me are from You,

⁸because the words that You gave Me, ^z

I have given them.

They have received them

and have known for certain

that I came from You. ^a

They have believed that You sent Me.

⁹I pray ^bfor them.

I am not praying for the ^•world

but for those You have given Me, ^c

because they are Yours.

¹⁰Everything I have is Yours,

and everything You have is Mine, ^d

and I have been glorified in them.

¹¹I am no longer in the world,

but they are in the world,

and I am coming to You. ^e

Holy ^fFather,

protect ^gthem by Your name ^h

that You have given Me,

so that they may be one ⁱas We are ^jone.
