King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
1
After Jesus finished saying this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you.
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
2
For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
3
And eternal life means to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
4
I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
5
Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
6
"I have made you known to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your word,
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
7
and now they know that everything you gave me comes from you.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
8
I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
9
"I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine; and my glory is shown through them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
11
And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
12
While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost - so that the scripture might come true.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
13
And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
14
I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
15
I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
16
Just as I do not belong to the world, they do not belong to the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
17
Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
18
I sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
19
And for their sake I dedicate myself to you, in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
20
"I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
21
I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
22
I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
23
I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
24
"Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
25
Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
26
I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them."
