John 17:1–11

The High Priestly Prayer

¹Jesus spoke these things; and ^alifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; ^bglorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

²even as ^aYou gave Him authority over all flesh, that ^bto ¹all whom You have given Him, ^cHe may give eternal life.

³“This is eternal life, that they may know You, ^athe only true God, and Jesus Christ whom ^bYou have sent.

⁴“^aI glorified You on the earth, ^1bhaving accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

⁵“Now, Father, ^aglorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had ^bwith You before the world was.

⁶“^aI have manifested Your name to the men whom ^bYou gave Me out of the world; they were ^cYours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^dkept Your word.

⁷“Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

⁸for ^athe words which You gave Me ^bI have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^cI came forth from You, and they believed that ^dYou sent Me.

⁹“^aI ask on their behalf; ^bI do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom ^cYou have given Me; for ^dthey are Yours;

¹⁰and ^aall things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

¹¹“I am no longer in the world; and yet ^athey themselves are in the world, and ^bI come to You. ^cHoly Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^dwhich You have given Me, that ^ethey may be one even as We are.
