¹ After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you.[xr] ² For[fn] you have given him authority over all humanity[fn] so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.[xr] ³ And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent - Jesus Christ.[xr] ⁴ I glorified you on earth by completing the task you gave me to do.[xr] ⁵ So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.[xr]

⁶ I have made your name known to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.[xr] ⁷ Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you, ⁸ because the words that you gave me I have given to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came from you. And they have believed that you sent me.[xr] ⁹ I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, for they are yours.[xr] ¹⁰ All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.[xr]

¹¹ I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, the name[fn] that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.[xr] ¹² While I was with them, I protected them by your name that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for[fn] destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.[xr] ¹³ "And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, for they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.[xr] ¹⁵ I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.[xr] ¹⁶ They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.[xr]

¹⁷ Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth.[xr] ¹⁸ Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.[xr] ¹⁹ It is for their sakes that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified by the truth.[xr]

²⁰ "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹ that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one[fn] in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.[xr] ²² I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.[xr] ²³ I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.[xr]

²⁴ Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.[xr] ²⁵ "Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.[xr] ²⁶ I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me[fn] may be in them and I myself may be in them."[xr]
