¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: My Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.² As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he might give life eternal to as many as thou hast given him.³ And this is life eternal, that they may know thee, that thou art the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Messiah.⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou gavest me to do, I have finished.⁵ And now, my Father, glorify thou me, with that glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁶ I have made known thy name to the men, whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.⁷ Now I have known, that whatever thou hast given me, was from thee.⁸ For, the words thou gavest to me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known certainly, that I came from thy presence; and they have believed that thou didst send me.⁹ And I pray for them; it is not for the world that I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, for they are thine.¹⁰ And all that is mine is thine, and what is thine is mine; and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I go to thee. Holy Father, keep them in that thy name, which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, as we are.¹² While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.¹³ But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be complete in them.¹⁴ I have given them thy word: and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.¹⁵ I pray not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil:¹⁶ for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ Father, sanctify them by thy truth, thy word is the truth.¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, so have I also sent them into the world.¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

²⁰ And it is not for them only that I pray, but also for those who shall believe in me through their discourse;²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, my Father, [fn] in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe, that thou didst send me. ²² And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them; that they may be one, as we are one.²³ I in them, and thou in me; that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that thou hast loved them as also thou hast loved me.

²⁴ Father, I desire that those whom thou hast given me, may also be with me where I am; that they may see that glory of mine which thou hast given me, as thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.²⁵ My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known, that thou didst send me.²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name; and I will make it known; so that the love, with which thou lovedst me, may be in them, and I in them.
