John 17:1–8

¹These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said—‘Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee, ²according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that—all that Thou hast given to him—he may give to them life age-during; ³and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send—Jesus Christ; ⁴I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it.

⁵‘And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

⁶I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept; ⁷now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee, ⁸because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.
