John 17:1-5 - Jesus Prays To Be Glorified
1 Jesus spoke these things and lifted up his eyes to heaven. He said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that the son may glorify you. 2 You have given him authority over all flesh that he may give everlasting life to the ones whom you have given him. 3 This is everlasting life that they should have *deep, intimate knowledge of you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have commissioned. *(Greek: ginosko: know, perceive, be sure, understand) 4 I glorified you on the earth. I accomplished the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me with you, the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
