John 17:1–8

Jesus Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,

the hour has come.

Glorify Your Son

so that the Son h may glorify You, i

2 for You gave Him authority

over all flesh; j k

so He may give eternal life l

to all You have given Him. m

3 This is eternal life:

that they may know You, the only n true o God,

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

4 I have glorified You on the earth

by completing the work You gave Me to do.

5 Now, Father, r glorify Me in Your presence

with that glory s I had with You

before the world existed. t

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 I have revealed Your name u

to the men You gave Me v from the world. w

They were Yours, You gave them to Me, x

and they have kept Your word. y

7 Now they know that all things

You have given to Me are from You,

8 because 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.
