John 17:1-10

1 After Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you --
2 just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him.
3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.
4 "I glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify me alongside yourself. Give me the same glory I had with you before the world existed.
6 "I made your name known to the people you gave me out of the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you,
8 because the words you gave me I have given to them, and they have received them. They have really come to know that I came from you, and they have come to trust that you sent me.
9 "I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given to me, because they are yours.
10 Indeed, all I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and in them I have been glorified.
