After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory.
2
After all, you've given him authority over all humanity so that he can give eternal life to all those you gave to him.
3
This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
4
On earth I have given you glory by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5
Now, Father, give me glory in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.
6
"I made your name known to the people you gave me. They are from this world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They did what you told them.
7
Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you,
8
because I gave them the message that you gave me. They have accepted this message, and they know for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
