For you granted him authority over all people(A) that he might give eternal life(B) to all those you have given him.(C) Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(D) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(E) I have brought you glory(F) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(G) And now, Father, glorify me(H) in your presence with the glory I had with you(I) before the world began.(J)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

“I have revealed you[a](K) to those whom you gave me(L) 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(M) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(N) and they believed that you sent me.(O) I pray for them.(P) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(Q) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(R) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(S) and I am coming to you.(T) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(U) as we are one.(V) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost(W) except the one doomed to destruction(X) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(Y)
