17. These words spoke Jesus. Then He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come. Glorify Thy Son that Thy Son also may glorify Thee, as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. I have glorified Thee on the earth. I have finished the work which Thou gavest 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 have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were and Thou gavest them me. They have kept Thy word. Now they know that all things Thou hast given me are of Thee. For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest me. They have received them and know surely that I came from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send me. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given me because they are Thine. All mine are Thine, and Thine are mine. And I am glorified in them. Now I am no more in the world but these are in the world. I come to Thee, Holy Father. Keep through Thine Own Name those whom Thou hast given me so they may be one just as We are one. While I was with them in the world I kept them in Thy Name. Those that Thou gavest me I have kept. None of them is lost except the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled. Now come I to Thee and speak these things in the world that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Thy word. The world hath hated them because they are not of the world as I am not of the world. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from evil. They are not of the world as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy Truth. Thy Word is Truth. As Thou hast sent me into the world so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone. But I pray also for them which shall believe on me through their word that they all may be One, as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee. They also may be One in Us so that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me. And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them so that they may be One, even as We are One. I in them and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One, and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as Thou hast loved me.
