Jesus’ Prayer for His Followers

17 1-5 Jesus said these things. Then, raising his eyes in prayer, he said:

Father, it’s time.
Display the bright splendor of your Son
So the Son in turn may show your bright splendor.
You put him in charge of everything human
So he might give real and eternal life to all in his care.
And this is the real and eternal life:
That they know you,
The one and only true God,
And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
I glorified you on earth
By completing down to the last detail
What you assigned me to do.
And now, Father, glorify me with your very own splendor,
The very splendor I had in your presence
Before there was a world.

20 que manifestou em Cristo, ressuscitando-o dos mortos e pondo-o à sua direita nos céus, 21 acima de todo principado, e poder, e potestade, e domínio, e de todo nome que se nomeia, não só neste século, mas também no vindouro. 22 E sujeitou todas as coisas a seus pés e, sobre todas as coisas, o constituiu como cabeça da igreja, 23 que é o seu corpo, a plenitude daquele que cumpre tudo em todos.

20 Esse poder grandioso foi também o que ressuscitou a Cristo, levantando-o dentre os mortos e colocando-o à direita de Deus nos domínios celestiais e 21 acima de todo e qualquer chefe e autoridade, acima de todo o poder e governo que possa existir. O nome de Jesus ultrapassa em autoridade não só todos os que dominam neste mundo atual, como no mundo que há de vir. 22 Deus colocou tudo o que existe no universo sob a autoridade de Cristo, e fez dele a cabeça de todas as coisas, para benefício da igreja, 23 a qual é o seu corpo; é ele que a enche com a sua presença, como também enche todas as coisas em todo o lugar.

20-23 All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Todas as coisas lhe sujeitaste debaixo dos pés. Ora, visto que lhe sujeitou todas as coisas, nada deixou que lhe não esteja sujeito. Mas, agora, ainda não vemos que todas as coisas lhe estejam sujeitas;

Contudo, não vemos que essas coisas estejam, de facto, realizadas e que tudo esteja submetido ao ser humano.

Footnotes

  1. 2.8 Sl 8.4-6.

The Salvation Pioneer

5-9 God didn’t put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we’re dealing with here. It says in Scripture,

What is man and woman that you bother with them;
    why take a second look their way?
You made them not quite as high as angels,
    bright with Eden’s dawn light;
Then you put them in charge
    of your entire handcrafted world.

When God put them in charge of everything, nothing was excluded. But we don’t see it yet, don’t see everything under human jurisdiction. What we do see is Jesus, made “not quite as high as angels,” and then, through the experience of death, crowned so much higher than any angel, with a glory “bright with Eden’s dawn light.” In that death, by God’s grace, he fully experienced death in every person’s place.

vemos, porém, coroado de glória e de honra aquele Jesus que fora feito um pouco menor do que os anjos, por causa da paixão da morte, para que, pela graça de Deus, provasse a morte por todos.

Vemos, sim, Jesus, o qual por um pouco de tempo foi mesmo inferior aos anjos, dignificado agora com toda a glória e honra, por causa de ter sofrido a morte por nós; morte essa que, pela bondade de Deus, experimentou a favor de toda a humanidade.
