1Jesus 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:
1These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee:
2Even as you gave him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all those whom you have given to him.
2even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life.
3And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
3And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.
4I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.
4I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
5And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.
5And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6I 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.
6I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
7Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:
7Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:
8Because 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.
8for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.
9My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
10(All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory in them.
10and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.
11And 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.
11And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
12While 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.
12While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.
13But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
14I 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.
14I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.
15I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.
16They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.
17Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
18Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
18As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.
19And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.
19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;
20Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;
21May 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.
21that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.
22And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;
22And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
23I 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.
23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.
24Father, 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.
24Father, I desire 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.
