John 17:1-10

English Standard Version

The High Priestly Prayer

17 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(A)he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ^(B)the hour has come; ^(C)glorify your Son that the Son may ^(D)glorify you, ²since ^(E)you have given him authority over all flesh, ^(F)to give eternal life to all ^(G)whom you have given him. ³^(H)And this is eternal life, ^(I)that they know you, ^(J)the only ^(K)true God, and ^(L)Jesus Christ whom you have sent. ⁴I ^(M)glorified you on earth, ^(N)having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. ⁵And now, Father, ^(O)glorify me in your own presence with the glory ^(P)that I had with you ^(Q)before the world existed.

⁶^(R)“I have manifested your name to the people ^(S)whom you gave me out of the world. ^(T)Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. ⁷Now they know that everything ^(U)that you have given me is from you. ⁸For I have given them ^(V)the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ^(W)I came from you; and ^(X)they have believed that you sent me. ⁹I am praying for them. ^(Y)I am not praying for the world but for those ^(Z)whom you have given me, for ^(AA)they are yours. ¹⁰^(AB)All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ^(AC)I am glorified in them.
