Christ Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, athe hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 bas You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He 1should give eternal life to as many cas You have given Him. 3 And dthis is eternal life, that they may know You, ethe only true God, and Jesus Christ fwhom You have sent. 4 gI have glorified You on the earth. hI have finished the work iwhich You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together 2with Yourself, with the glory jwhich I had with You before the world was.

Christ Prays for His Disciples

6 k“I have 3manifested Your name to the men lwhom You have given Me out of the world. mThey were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words nwhich You have given Me; and they have received them, oand have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that pYou sent Me.
