John 17:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

Jesus Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son^(A) may glorify you,^{(B) 2} since you gave him authority over all people,^[a](C) so that he may give eternal life^(D) to everyone you have given him.^{(E) 3} This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only^(F) true^(G) God, and the one you have sent^(H) —Jesus Christ.^{(I) 4} I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. ⁵ Now, Father,^(J) glorify me in your presence with that glory^(K) I had with you before the world existed.^(L)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶ “I have revealed your name^(M) to the people you gave me^(N) from the world.^(O) They were yours, you gave them to me,^(P) and they have kept your word.^{(Q) 7} Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, ⁸ because I have given them the words you gave me.^(R) They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you.^(S) They have believed that you sent me.
