John 17:1-11

New American Standard Bible

The High Priestly Prayer

17 Jesus spoke these things; and ^(A)raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; ^(B)glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, ²just as ^(C)You gave Him authority over all ^[a]mankind, so that ^[b]^(D)to all whom You have given Him, ^(E)He may give eternal life. ³And this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(F)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom ^(G)You have sent. ⁴^(H)I glorified You on the earth ^[c]^(I)by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵And now You, Father, ^(J)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had ^(K)with You before the world existed.

⁶“^(L)I have revealed Your name to the men whom ^(M)You gave Me out of the world; they were ^(N)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^(O)followed Your word. ⁷Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; ⁸for ^(P)the words which You gave Me ^(Q)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^(R)I came forth from You, and they believed that ^(S)You sent Me. ⁹^(T)I ask on their behalf; ^(U)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom ^(V)You have given Me, because ^(W)they are Yours; ¹⁰and ^(X)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet ^(Y)they themselves are in the world, and ^(Z)I am coming to You. ^(AA)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^(AB)which You have given Me, so that ^(AC)they may be one just as We are.
