John 17:1-5

Prayer for the Son

1 When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2 For You granted Him authority over all people, ^[a] so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
