John 17:1-9

The High Priestly Prayer

1 Jesus spoke these things; and 1lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; 2glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
2 even as 3You gave Him authority over all flesh, that 4to all whom You have given Him, 5He may give eternal life.
3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, 6the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom 7You have sent.
4 "8I glorified You on the earth, 9having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
5 "Now, Father, 10glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had 11with You before the world was.
6 "12I have manifested Your name to the men whom 13You gave Me out of the world; they were 14Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have 15kept Your word.
7 "Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
8 for 16the words which You gave Me 17I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that 18I came forth from You, and they believed that 19You sent Me.
9 "20I ask on their behalf; 21I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom 22You have given Me; for 23they are Yours;
