Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
017:004 I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work
which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.
017:005 And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence,
with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.
017:006 "I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me
out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me,
and they have obeyed Thy message.
017:007 Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.
017:008 For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them.
And they have received them, and have known for certain that I
came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou
didst send me.
017:009 "I am making request for them: for the world I do not make
any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me.
Because they are Thine,
017:010 and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is
Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.
017:011 I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I
am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--
the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one,
even as we are.
017:012 While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name
Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not
one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--
that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
017:013 "But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I
am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness
within them filling their hearts.
017:014 I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them,
because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not
belong to the world.
017:015 I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world,
but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.
017:016 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong
to the world.
017:017 Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.
017:018 Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;
017:019 and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they
may become perfectly consecrated in truth.
017:020 "Nor is it for them alone that I make request.
It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;
017:021 that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father,
and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world
may believe that Thou didst send me.
017:022 And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them,
that they may be one, just as we are one:
