I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do. And, now, glorify me - thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world's existence, with thee. I manifested thy name, unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: Thine, they were, and, to me, thou gavest them, and, thy word, have they kept: Now, have they come to know, That, all things, as many as thou gavest me, are, from thee; And, the declarations which thou gavest me, have I given them, and, they, received them, and came to know in truth, that, from thee, came I forth, - and they believed, that, thou, didst send me forth.

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 request not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil: Of the world, they are not, even as, I, am not of the world. Hallow them in the truth: Thine own word, is, truth: Even as thou didst send me forth into the world, I also, send them forth into the world; And, on their behalf, I, hallow myself, that, they also, may have become hallowed in truth. Not however concerning these alone, do I make request, but, concerning them also who believe, through their word, on me: That they, all, may be, one, - even as, thou, Father, in me, and, I, in thee, - that, they also, in us, may be; - that, the world, may believe that, thou, didst send me forth. And, I, the glory which thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one, even as, we, are, one. - I, in them and, thou, in me; That they may have been perfected into, one, - That the world may get to know, that, thou, didst send me forth, and didst love them even as thou didst love, me. Father! As touching that which thou hast given me, I desire - That, where, I, am, they also, may be, with me, that they may behold my own glory which thou hast given me, - because thou lovedst me, before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father! And so, the world, came not to know thee; but, I, came to know thee, and, these, came to know that, thou, didst send me forth: And I made known unto them thy name, and will make known, - that, the love wherewith thou lovedst me, in them, may be, and, I, in them.

Ye heard that, I, said unto you - I go my way, and I come unto you, - Had ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I am going unto the Father, for, the Father, is, greater than I. But, now, have I told you, before it cometh to pass, that, whensoever it shall come to pass, ye may believe. No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world's ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing, - But, that the world may get to know that I love the Father, and just as the Father hath given me commandment, so, I do.

The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, - and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth, - Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep. I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me, - Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep. And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd. Therefore, doth the Father, love, me, because, I, lay down my life, that, again, I may receive it: -

And, if ye love them that love you, what sort of thanks are there for you? for, even sinners, love, such as love them. For, if ye even do good unto them that do good unto you, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, the same, are doing. And, if ye lend to them from whom ye are hoping to receive, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, unto sinners, do lend, that they may receive back, as much.

Upon God, hath no one, at any time, gazed: If we love one another, God, in us, abideth, and, his love, hath been perfected within us. Hereby, perceive we - that, in him, are we abiding, and, he, in us, - in that, of his Spirit, hath he given unto us.
