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)
for You gave Him authority
over all flesh;[a](C)
so He may give eternal life(D)
to all You have given Him.(E)
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)
I have glorified You on the earth
by completing the work You gave Me to do.
Now, Father,(J) glorify Me in Your presence
with that glory(K) I had with You
before the world existed.(L)
