La preghiera di Gesù

17 Così parlò Gesù. Quindi, alzati gli occhi al cielo, disse: «Padre, è giunta l'ora, glorifica il Figlio tuo, perché il Figlio glorifichi te. Poiché tu gli hai dato potere sopra ogni essere umano, perché egli dia la vita eterna a tutti coloro che gli hai dato. Questa è la vita eterna: che conoscano te, l'unico vero Dio, e colui che hai mandato, Gesù Cristo. Io ti ho glorificato sopra la terra, compiendo l'opera che mi hai dato da fare. E ora, Padre, glorificami davanti a te, con quella gloria che avevo presso di te prima che il mondo fosse.

Ho fatto conoscere il tuo nome agli uomini che mi hai dato dal mondo. Erano tuoi e li hai dati a me ed essi hanno osservato la tua parola. Ora essi sanno che tutte le cose che mi hai dato vengono da te, perché le parole che hai dato a me io le ho date a loro; essi le hanno accolte e sanno veramente che sono uscito da te e hanno creduto che tu mi hai mandato. Io prego per loro; non prego per il mondo, ma per coloro che mi hai dato, perché sono tuoi. 10 Tutte le cose mie sono tue e tutte le cose tue sono mie, e io sono glorificato in loro. 11 Io non sono più nel mondo; essi invece sono nel mondo, e io vengo a te. Padre santo, custodisci nel tuo nome coloro che mi hai dato, perché siano una cosa sola, come noi.

12 Quand'ero con loro, io conservavo nel tuo nome coloro che mi hai dato e li ho custoditi; nessuno di loro è andato perduto, tranne il figlio della perdizione, perché si adempisse la Scrittura. 13 Ma ora io vengo a te e dico queste cose mentre sono ancora nel mondo, perché abbiano in se stessi la pienezza della mia gioia. 14 Io ho dato a loro la tua parola e il mondo li ha odiati perché essi non sono del mondo, come io non sono del mondo.

15 Non chiedo che tu li tolga dal mondo, ma che li custodisca dal maligno. 16 Essi non sono del mondo, come io non sono del mondo. 17 Consacrali nella verità. La tua parola è verità. 18 Come tu mi hai mandato nel mondo, anch'io li ho mandati nel mondo; 19 per loro io consacro me stesso, perché siano anch'essi consacrati nella verità.

20 Non prego solo per questi, ma anche per quelli che per la loro parola crederanno in me; 21 perché tutti siano una sola cosa. Come tu, Padre, sei in me e io in te, siano anch'essi in noi una cosa sola, perché il mondo creda che tu mi hai mandato.

22 E la gloria che tu hai dato a me, io l'ho data a loro, perché siano come noi una cosa sola. 23 Io in loro e tu in me, perché siano perfetti nell'unità e il mondo sappia che tu mi hai mandato e li hai amati come hai amato me.

24 Padre, voglio che anche quelli che mi hai dato siano con me dove sono io, perché contemplino la mia gloria, quella che mi hai dato; poiché tu mi hai amato prima della creazione del mondo.

25 Padre giusto, il mondo non ti ha conosciuto, ma io ti ho conosciuto; questi sanno che tu mi hai mandato. 26 E io ho fatto conoscere loro il tuo nome e lo farò conoscere, perché l'amore con il quale mi hai amato sia in essi e io in loro».

17 ταυτα ελαλησεν ο ιησους και επηρεν τους οφθαλμους αυτου εις τον ουρανον και ειπεν πατερ εληλυθεν η ωρα δοξασον σου τον υιον ινα και ο υιος σου δοξαση σε

καθως εδωκας αυτω εξουσιαν πασης σαρκος ινα παν ο δεδωκας αυτω δωση αυτοις ζωην αιωνιον

αυτη δε εστιν η αιωνιος ζωη ινα γινωσκωσιν σε τον μονον αληθινον θεον και ον απεστειλας ιησουν χριστον

εγω σε εδοξασα επι της γης το εργον ετελειωσα ο δεδωκας μοι ινα ποιησω

και νυν δοξασον με συ πατερ παρα σεαυτω τη δοξη η ειχον προ του τον κοσμον ειναι παρα σοι

εφανερωσα σου το ονομα τοις ανθρωποις ους δεδωκας μοι εκ του κοσμου σοι ησαν και εμοι αυτους δεδωκας και τον λογον σου τετηρηκασιν

νυν εγνωκαν οτι παντα οσα δεδωκας μοι παρα σου εστιν

οτι τα ρηματα α δεδωκας μοι δεδωκα αυτοις και αυτοι ελαβον και εγνωσαν αληθως οτι παρα σου εξηλθον και επιστευσαν οτι συ με απεστειλας

εγω περι αυτων ερωτω ου περι του κοσμου ερωτω αλλα περι ων δεδωκας μοι οτι σοι εισιν

10 και τα εμα παντα σα εστιν και τα σα εμα και δεδοξασμαι εν αυτοις

11 και ουκ ετι ειμι εν τω κοσμω και ουτοι εν τω κοσμω εισιν και εγω προς σε ερχομαι πατερ αγιε τηρησον αυτους εν τω ονοματι σου ους δεδωκας μοι ινα ωσιν εν καθως ημεις

12 οτε ημην μετ αυτων εν τω κοσμω εγω ετηρουν αυτους εν τω ονοματι σου ους δεδωκας μοι εφυλαξα και ουδεις εξ αυτων απωλετο ει μη ο υιος της απωλειας ινα η γραφη πληρωθη

13 νυν δε προς σε ερχομαι και ταυτα λαλω εν τω κοσμω ινα εχωσιν την χαραν την εμην πεπληρωμενην εν αυτοις

14 εγω δεδωκα αυτοις τον λογον σου και ο κοσμος εμισησεν αυτους οτι ουκ εισιν εκ του κοσμου καθως εγω ουκ ειμι εκ του κοσμου

15 ουκ ερωτω ινα αρης αυτους εκ του κοσμου αλλ ινα τηρησης αυτους εκ του πονηρου

16 εκ του κοσμου ουκ εισιν καθως εγω εκ του κοσμου ουκ ειμι

17 αγιασον αυτους εν τη αληθεια σου ο λογος ο σος αληθεια εστιν

18 καθως εμε απεστειλας εις τον κοσμον καγω απεστειλα αυτους εις τον κοσμον

19 και υπερ αυτων εγω αγιαζω εμαυτον ινα και αυτοι ωσιν ηγιασμενοι εν αληθεια

20 ου περι τουτων δε ερωτω μονον αλλα και περι των πιστευσοντων δια του λογου αυτων εις εμε

21 ινα παντες εν ωσιν καθως συ πατερ εν εμοι καγω εν σοι ινα και αυτοι εν ημιν εν ωσιν ινα ο κοσμος πιστευση οτι συ με απεστειλας

22 και εγω την δοξαν ην δεδωκας μοι δεδωκα αυτοις ινα ωσιν εν καθως ημεις εν εσμεν

23 εγω εν αυτοις και συ εν εμοι ινα ωσιν τετελειωμενοι εις εν και ινα γινωσκη ο κοσμος οτι συ με απεστειλας και ηγαπησας αυτους καθως εμε ηγαπησας

24 πατερ ους δεδωκας μοι θελω ινα οπου ειμι εγω κακεινοι ωσιν μετ εμου ινα θεωρωσιν την δοξαν την εμην ην εδωκας μοι οτι ηγαπησας με προ καταβολης κοσμου

25 πατερ δικαιε και ο κοσμος σε ουκ εγνω εγω δε σε εγνων και ουτοι εγνωσαν οτι συ με απεστειλας

26 και εγνωρισα αυτοις το ονομα σου και γνωρισω ινα η αγαπη ην ηγαπησας με εν αυτοις η καγω εν αυτοις

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven(A) and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come.(B) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.(C) For you granted him authority over all people(D) that he might give eternal life(E) to all those you have given him.(F) Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(G) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(H) I have brought you glory(I) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(J) And now, Father, glorify me(K) in your presence with the glory I had with you(L) before the world began.(M)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

“I have revealed you[a](N) to those whom you gave me(O) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me(P) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(Q) and they believed that you sent me.(R) I pray for them.(S) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(T) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(U) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(V) and I am coming to you.(W) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(X) as we are one.(Y) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost(Z) except the one doomed to destruction(AA) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(AB)

13 “I am coming to you now,(AC) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(AD) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(AE) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(AF) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(AG) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(AH) 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth.(AI) 18 As you sent me into the world,(AJ) I have sent them into the world.(AK) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(AL)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(AM) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(AN) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(AO) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(AP) that they may be one as we are one(AQ) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(AR) and have loved them(AS) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(AT) to be with me where I am,(AU) and to see my glory,(AV) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(AW)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(AX) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(AY) 26 I have made you[e] known to them,(AZ) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(BA) and that I myself may be in them.”
