Jesus Prays for Himself
1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said, "Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you.
2
You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him.
3
"And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4
I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do.
5
So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 "I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word.
7
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8
I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me.
