coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but I will tell you
plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name. And I do
not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father
himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I
came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world;
again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father." 29 His disciples
said, "See, now you are speaking plainly, and not using a figure of
speech! 30 Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need
for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God."
31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 32 Indeed the hour is
coming, yes, has now come, when you will be scattered, each to his own,
and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the
world you will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the
world."

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your
Son also may glorify you, 2 as you have given him authority over all flesh,
that he should give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 And this
is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom you have sent. 4 I have glorified you on the earth, having
finished the work which you have given me to do. 5 And now, Father,
glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you
before the world was made.
6 "I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given
me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they have
kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me
comes from you. 8 For I have given them the words which you have given
me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you;
and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not
praying for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are
yours. 10 And all mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified
in them. 11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the
world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name ñ
the name you gave me ñ that they may be one, even as we are one. 12
While I was with them, I kept them in your name ñ the name you gave me.
I have guarded them, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and
these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in
themselves. 14 I have given them your word; and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do
not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should
keep them from the evil one.
