I glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy word: now they know that all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee: because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.

And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me. Father, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me; I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love me may be in them, and I in them.
