After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven^(a) and prayed: "Father, the hour has come.^(b) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.^(c)

For you granted him authority over all people^(d) that he might give eternal life^(e) to all those you have given him.^(f)

Now this is eternal life: that they know you,^(g) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.^(h)

I have brought you glory⁽ⁱ⁾ on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.^(j)

And now, Father, glorify me^(k) in your presence with the glory I had with you^(l) before the world began.^(m)

"I have revealed you^[a](n) to those whom you gave me^(o) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.

Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

For I gave them the words you gave me^(p) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,^(q) and they believed that you sent me.^(r)

I pray for them.^(s) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,^(t) for they are yours.

All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.^(u) And glory has come to me through them.

I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,^(v) and I am coming to you.^(w) Holy Father, protect them by the power of^[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one^(x) as we are one.^(y)

While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by^[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost^(z) except the one doomed to destruction^(aa) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.^(ab)

"I am coming to you now,^(ac) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy^(ad) within them.

I have given them your word and the world has hated them,^(ae) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.^(af)

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.^(ag)

They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.^(ah)

Sanctify them by^[d] the truth; your word is truth.^(ai)

As you sent me into the world,^(aj) I have sent them into the world.^(ak)

For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.^(al)

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

that all of them may be one,^(am) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.^(an) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.^(ao)

I have given them the glory that you gave me,^(ap) that they may be one as we are one^(aq)—

I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me^(ar) and have loved them^(as) even as you have loved me.

"Father, I want those you have given me^(at) to be with me where I am,^(au) and to see my glory,^(av) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.^(aw)

"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,^(ax) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.^(ay)

I have made you^[e] known to them,^(az) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them^(ba) and that I myself may be in them."
