| 1 | When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, 'Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee; |
| 2 | even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. |
| 3 | And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. |
| 4 | I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do. |
| 5 | And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed. |
| 6 | 'I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message. |
| 7 | Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee. |
| 8 | For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me. |
| 9 | 'I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine, |
| 10 | and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them. |
| 11 | I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. 'Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are. |
| 12 | While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled. |
| 13 | 'But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts. |
| 14 | I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. |
| 15 | I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one. |
| 16 | They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. |
| 17 | Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth. |
| 18 | Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them; |
| 19 | and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth. |
| 20 | 'Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching; |
| 21 | that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me. |
| 22 | And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one: |
| 23 | I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me. |
| 24 | 'Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world. |
| 25 | And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me. |
| 26 | And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them.' |
