John 17:1-5

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.
