   Jesus Prays to Be Glorified   
   17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:   
      
   “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.   
   2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal   
   life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they   
   know you, the only true    
   God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth   
   by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your   
   presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.   
      
   Jesus Prays for His Disciples   
   6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were   
   yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know   
   that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words   
   you gave me and they    
   accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they   
   believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world,   
   but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours,   
   and all you have is mine.    
   And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no   
   longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father,   
   protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may   
   be one as we are one. 12    
   While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe bythat name you   
   gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that   
   Scripture would be fulfilled.   
      
   13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the   
   world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have   
   given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the   
   world any more than I    
   am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but   
   that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as   
   I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you   
   sent me into the    
   world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that   
   they too may be truly sanctified.   
      
   Jesus Prays for All Believers   
   20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe   
   in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as   
   you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may   
   believe that you have    
   sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one   
   as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to   
   complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them   
   even as you have    
   loved me.   
      
   24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to   
   see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the   
   creation of the world.   
      
   25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and   
   they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will   
   continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in   
   them and that I myself    
   may be in them.”
