1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
2
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4
I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a]your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
