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.

When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, - And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, - save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled. But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves. 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.

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.

When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, - And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, - save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled. But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves. 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!

For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, - In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight: Then, said I - Lo! I am come, - in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, - to do, O God, thy will.

But even the Holy Spirit beareth us witness; for, after having said - This is the covenant which I will covenant unto them after these days, saith the Lord, - Giving my laws upon their hearts, upon their understandings also, will I inscribe them, He also saith - of their sins, and of their lawlessnesses, I will in nowise be mindful any more. But, wherever a remission of these is, there is, no further, offering, for sins. Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entrance through the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus, Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, - And having a great priest over the house of God, Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water;
For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, - In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight: Then, said I - Lo! I am come, - in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, - to do, O God, thy will. Higher up, saying - Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, - the which, according to the law, are offered, Then, hath he said - Lo! I am come! to do, thy will: - he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish: By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which never can clear away sins; But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God: As for the rest, waiting - until his foes be made his footstool; For, by one offering, hath he perfected for evermore, them who are being made holy. But even the Holy Spirit beareth us witness; for, after having said - This is the covenant which I will covenant unto them after these days, saith the Lord, - Giving my laws upon their hearts, upon their understandings also, will I inscribe them, He also saith - of their sins, and of their lawlessnesses, I will in nowise be mindful any more.
