“These things spake Jesus; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He
said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may
glorify Thee: even as Thou gavest Him authority over all flesh, that
whatsoever Thou hast given Him, to them He should give eternal life.
And this is life eternal, that they should know Thee the only true
God, and Him whom Thou didst send, even Jesus Christ. I glorified
Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast
given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own
self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. I
manifested Thy name unto the men whom Thou gavest Me out of the
world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to Me; and they have
kept Thy word. Now they know that all things whatsoever Thou hast
given Me are from Thee: for the words which Thou gavest Me I have
given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I
came forth from Thee, and they believed that Thou didst send Me. I
pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou
hast given Me; for they are Thine: and all things that are Mine are
Thine, and Thine are Mine: and I am glorified in them. And I am no
more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to Thee.
Holy Father, keep them in Thy name which Thou hast given Me, that
they may be one, even as We are. While I was with them, I kept them
in Thy name which Thou hast given Me: and I guarded them, and not
one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture
might be fulfilled. But now I come to Thee; and these things I speak
in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I
have given them Thy word; and the world hated them, because they are
not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that
Thou shouldest take them from the world, but that Thou shouldest
keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am
not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth: Thy word is truth. As
Thou didst send Me into the world, even so sent I them into the
world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves
also may be sanctified in truth. Neither for these only do I pray,
but for them also that believe on Me through their word; that they
may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that
they also may be in Us: that the world may believe that Thou didst
send Me. And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given unto
them; that they may be one, even as We are one; I in them, and Thou
in Me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know
that Thou didst send Me, and lovedst them, even as Thou lovedst Me.
Father, that which Thou hast given Me, I will that, where I am, they
also may be with Me; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast
