1 When Jesus had spoken these words, a he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father b the hour has come; c glorify your Son that the Son may d glorify you, 2 since e you have given him authority over all flesh, f to give eternal life to all g whom you have given him. 3 h And this is eternal life i that they know you j the only k true God, and l Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I m glorified you on earth n having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father o glorify me in your own presence with the glory p that I had with you q before the world existed. 6 r “I have manifested your name to the people s whom you gave me out of the world. t Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything u that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them v the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that w I came from you; and x they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. y I am not praying for the world but for those z whom you have given me, for aa they are yours. 10 ab All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ac I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but ad they are in the world, and ae I am coming to you. af Holy Father ag keep them in your name ah which you have given me ai that they may be one aj even as we are one. 12 ak While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have al guarded them, and am not one of them has been lost except an the son of destruction ao that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now ap I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have aq my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 ar I have given them your word, and as the world has hated them at because they are not of the world au just as I am not of the world. 15 I av do not ask that you aw take them out of the world, but that you ax keep them from ay the evil one. ▼
