The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,
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:
2 since you have given him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
2
Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
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.
4 I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.
4
I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.
5 So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
5
And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.
6 "I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
6
I have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you;
7
Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:
8 for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
8
Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.
9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours.
9
My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours
10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them.
10
(All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory in them.
11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
11
And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.
12 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.
12
While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.
13 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.
13
And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.
14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
14
I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.
15
My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.
16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
16
They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
17
Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.
18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
18
Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
19
And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.
20 "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word,
20
My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;
21 that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
21
May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.
22 The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one,
22
And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;
23 I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
23
I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.
24 Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
24
Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.
25 "Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me.
25
Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;
26 I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."
26
And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.
