John 17:1-6

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.
