The Bible in Basic English BBE
New International Version NIV
1 Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:
1
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
2 Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.
2
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3 And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.
4
I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5 And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.
5
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
