John 17

Jesus Prays for Himself

^{Tools
1} Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,
the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son^(A) may glorify You,^(B)

^{Tools
2}

for You gave Him authority
over all flesh;^(a)^(C)
so He may give eternal life^(D)
to all You have given Him.^(E)

^{Tools
3}

This is eternal life:
that they may know You, the only^(F) true^(G) God,
and the One You have sent^(H)—Jesus Christ.^(I)

^{Tools
4}

I have glorified You on the earth
by completing the work You gave Me to do.

^{Tools
5}

Now, Father,^(J) glorify Me in Your presence
with that glory^(K) I had with You
before the world existed.^(L)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

^{Tools
6}

I have revealed Your name^(M)
to the men You gave Me^(N) from the world.^(O)
They were Yours, You gave them to Me,^(P)
and they have kept Your word.^(Q)

^{Tools
7}

Now they know that all things
You have given to Me are from You,

^{Tools
8}

because the words that You gave Me,^(R)
I have given them.
They have received them
and have known for certain
that I came from You.^(S)
They have believed that You sent Me.

^{Tools
9}

I pray^(b) for them.
I am not praying for the world
but for those You have given Me,^(T)
because they are Yours.

^{Tools
10}

Everything I have is Yours,
and everything You have is Mine,^(U)
and I have been glorified in them.

^{Tools
11}

I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to You.^(V)
Holy^(W) Father,
protect^(c) them by Your name^(X)
that You have given Me,
so that they may be one^(Y) as We are^(Z) one.

^{Tools
12}

While I was with them,
I was protecting them by Your name
that You have given Me.
I guarded^(AA) them and not one of them is lost,
except the son of destruction,^(d)
so that the Scripture^(AB) may be fulfilled.^(AC)

^{Tools
13}

Now I am coming to You,
and I speak these things in the world
so that they may have My joy completed in them.

^{Tools
14}

I have given them Your word.
The world hated^(AD) them
because they are not of the world,^(AE)
as I am not of the world.^(AF)

^{Tools
15}

I am not praying
that You take them out of the world
but that You protect them from the evil one.^(AG)

^{Tools
16}

They are not of the world,
as I am not of the world.^(AH)

^{Tools
17}

Sanctify^(e)^(AI) them by the truth;^(AJ)
Your word is truth.

^{Tools
18}

As You sent Me into the world,^(AK)
I also have sent them into the world.

^{Tools
19}

I sanctify Myself for them,
so they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

^{Tools
20}

I pray not only for these,
but also for those who believe in Me
through their message.

^{Tools
21}

May they all be one,^(AL)
as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You.^(AM)
May they also be one^(f) in Us,
so the world may believe You sent Me.

^{Tools
22}

I have given them the glory^(AN) You have given Me.
May they be one as We are one.

^{Tools
23}

I am in them and You are in Me.^(AO)
May they be made completely one,
so the world may know You have sent Me
and have loved^(AP) them as You have loved Me.^(AQ)

^{Tools
24}

Father,
I desire those You have given Me
to be with Me where I am.^(AR)
Then they will see My glory,
which You have given Me
because You loved Me before the world’s foundation.

^{Tools
25}

Righteous Father!
The world has not known You.
However, I have known You,^(AS)
and these have known that You sent Me.

^{Tools
26}

I made Your name^(AT) known to them
and will make it known,
so the love You have loved Me with
may be in them and I may be in them.^(AU)
