Jesus Prays for Himself
1 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that the Son may glorify You,
2
for You gave Him authority over all flesh; so He may give eternal life to all You have given Him.
3
This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent-Jesus Christ.
4
I have glorified You on the earth by completing the work You gave Me to do.
5
Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with that glory I had with You before the world existed.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 I have revealed Your name to the men You gave Me from the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
7
Now they know that all things You have given to Me are from You,
8
because the words that You gave Me, I have given them. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from You. They have believed that You sent Me.
9
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world but for those You have given Me, because they are Yours.
