John 17:1-6

Jesus prays

1 When Jesus finished saying these things, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son can glorify you.
2 You gave him authority over everyone so that he could give eternal life to everyone you gave him.
3 This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent.
4 I have glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I shared with you before the world was created.
6 “I have revealed your name to the people you gave me from this world. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
