I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was. I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept. Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me. I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them in the world, I preserved them by thy name: those whom thou hast given me have I guarded, and not one of them is perished, except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth. And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.

Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee.

I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them.

Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth. And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

saying, "I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee." And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me." Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death. For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham. Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people: for inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.
