John - ch 17 v 1 - 20
- These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee:
- even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.
- And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, `even' Jesus Christ.
- I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
- And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
- I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
- Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:
- for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received `them', and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.
- I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
- and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.
- And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we `are'.
- While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
- But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full 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 pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil `one'.
- They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
- Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
- As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.
- And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
- Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;
