King James Version KJV
New Century Version NCV
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 said these things, he looked toward heaven and prayed, "Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can 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
You gave the Son power over all people so that the Son could 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 this is eternal life: that people know you, the only true God, and that they know Jesus Christ, the One you sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
4
Having finished the work you gave me to do, I brought you glory on earth.
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
And now, Father, give me glory with you; give me the 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 showed what you are like to those you gave me from the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your teaching.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
7
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 teachings you gave me, and they accepted them. They knew that I truly came from you, and they believed 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 am praying for them. I am not praying for people in the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours.
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
I am coming to you; I will not stay in the world any longer. But they are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they will 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 only one of them, the one worthy of destruction, was lost so that the Scripture would 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
"I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world so that these followers can have all of my joy in them.
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 have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them, because they don't belong to the world, just as I don't 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 am not asking you to take them out of the world but to keep them safe from the Evil One.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
16
They don't belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
17
Make them ready for your service through your truth; your teaching is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
18
I have 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
For their sake, I am making myself ready to serve so that they can be ready for their service of the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
20
"I pray for these followers, but I am also praying for all those who will believe in me because of their teaching.
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
Father, I pray that they can be one. As you are in me and I am in you, I pray that they can also be one in us. Then 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 have given these people the glory that you gave me so that they can 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 will be in them and you will be in me so that they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me and that you loved them just as much as you loved 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, I want these people that you gave me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, which you gave me because 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
Father, you are the One who is good. The world does not know you, but I know you, and these people know 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 showed them what you are like, and I will show them again. Then they will have the same love that you have for me, and I will live in them."
