John - ch 17 v 1 - 20
- Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:
- Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.
- And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
- I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.
- And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.
- I have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.
- Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:
- Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.
- My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours
- (All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory in them.
- And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.
- While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.
- And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.
- I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
- My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.
- They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
- Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.
- Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
- And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.
- My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;
