²⁴ God is spirit,^(A) and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth.”^(B)

²⁶ For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he has granted to the Son^(A) to have life in himself.

⁶ Jesus told him, “I am^(A) the way,^(B) the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷ If you know me, you will also know^[a] my Father.^(C) From now on you do know him^(D) and have seen him.”

Jesus Reveals the Father

⁸ “Lord,” said Philip,^(E) “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father.^(F) How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?^(G) The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own.^(H) The Father who lives in me does his works.^{(I) 11} Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe^[b] because of the works themselves.^(J)

Praying in Jesus’s Name

¹² “Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me^(K) will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these,^(L) because I am going to the Father.^{(M) 13} Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified^(N) in the Son.^(O)

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.
