John 17:1-10

The High Priestly Prayer

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, ¹he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ²the hour has come; ³glorify your Son that the Son may ⁴glorify you,

2 since ⁵you have given him authority over all flesh, ⁶to give eternal life to all ⁷whom you have given him.

3 ⁸And this is eternal life, ⁹that they know you ¹⁰the only ¹¹true God, and ¹²Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

4 I ¹³glorified you on earth, ¹⁴having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.

5 And now, Father, ¹⁵glorify me in your own presence with the glory ¹⁶that I had with you ¹⁷before the world existed.

6 ¹⁸“I have manifested your name to the people ¹⁹whom you gave me out of the world. ²⁰Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7 Now they know that everything ²¹that you have given me is from you.

8 For I have given them ²²the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ²³I came from you; and ²⁴they have believed that you sent me.

9 I am praying for them. ²⁵I am not praying for the world but for those ²⁶whom you have given me, for ²⁷they are yours.

10 ²⁸All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ²⁹I am glorified in them.
