John 17

Father, Glorify Your Son

1After Jesus said these things, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2since you gave him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. 3And this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus the Messiah, whom you sent. 4I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6I have revealed your name to the people you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you, 8because I have given them the words you gave me, and they received them. They truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10Everything of mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, 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. Holy Father, protect them in your name, which you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.
