耶稣的祷告

17 耶稣说完后,就抬头望着天说:“父啊!时候到了,愿你使你的儿子得荣耀,好让你的儿子也使你得荣耀。 因为你把管理世人的权柄赐给了祂,使祂可以将永生赐予你交托给祂的人。 这永生就是,认识你——独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督。 我已经完成你交给我的工作,使你在地上得了荣耀。 父啊,现在让我和你同享创世以前我们所共有的荣耀吧!

“你从世上赐给我的人,我已将你[a]显明给他们。他们本来属于你,你将他们赐给了我,他们遵守你的道。 如今他们知道,你赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的, 因为我已经把你赐给我的道赐给他们,他们也接受了,并且确实知道我是从你那里来的,也相信是你差遣了我。

“我不为世人祈求,却为他们祈求,就是为你赐给我的那些人祈求,因为他们属于你。 10 一切属于我的都是你的,属于你的也是我的,我从他们身上得了荣耀。 11 现在我要离开这个世界去你那里了,他们却仍然留在世上。圣父啊,求你为了自己的名,就是你赐给我的名而保守他们,使他们像我们一样合而为一。 12 我和他们在一起的时候,靠着你赐给我的名保守他们,看顾他们。除了那个注定灭亡的人以外,他们一个也没有灭亡,这是为了应验圣经上的话。

13 “现在我要去你那里了,我趁着还在世上的时候这样说,是要叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。 14 我已将你的道赐给他们,世人恨他们,因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 15 我不求你带他们离开这个世界,但求你保守他们脱离那恶者。 16 因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 17 求你用真理,就是你的道,使他们圣洁。 18 你怎样差我到世上来,我也照样差他们到世人中间。 19 为了他们,我献上自己,使他们借着真理可以圣洁。

20 “我不但为这些人祈求,也为那些因他们的话而信我的人祈求, 21 使他们都合而为一,正如父你在我里面,我在你里面一样,并且使他们也在我们里面,好让世人相信是你差我来的。 22 我又将你赐给我的荣耀赐给他们,使他们像我们一样合而为一。 23 我在他们里面,你在我里面,好使他们也完完全全地合而为一。这样,世人便知道我是你差来的,而且知道你爱他们,就像爱我一样。

24 “父啊!我在哪里,愿你赐给我的人也在哪里,好让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀,因为在创世以前你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊!世界还未认识你以前,我已经认识你了,这些人也知道是你差我来的。 26 我使他们认识了你的名,我还要使他们更认识你,好让你对我的爱存在他们里面,我也在他们里面。”

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

17 After Jesus finished saying this, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you. For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him. (A)And eternal life means to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, whom you sent. I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do. Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.

“I have made you known to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your word, and now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.

“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine; and my glory is shown through them. 11 And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me,[a] so that they may be one just as you and I are one. 12 (B)While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me.[b] I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost—so that the scripture might come true. 13 And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness. 14 I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15 I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 Just as I do not belong to the world, they do not belong to the world. 17 Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth. 18 I sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world. 19 And for their sake I dedicate myself to you, in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.

20 “I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message. 21 I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me. 22 I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one: 23 I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.

24 “Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made. 25 Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them.”

Isus se roagă Tatălui pentru Sine

17 După ce a spus aceste lucruri, Isus Şi-a ridicat ochii spre cer şi a zis:

„Tată, a venit ceasul! Proslăveşte-Ţi Fiul, pentru ca şi Fiul să Te proslăvească pe Tine, de vreme ce I-ai dat autoritate peste orice făptură, ca să le dea viaţă veşnică tuturor celor pe care I i-ai dat Tu. Şi viaţa veşnică este aceasta: să Te cunoască pe Tine, singurul Dumnezeu adevărat, şi pe Isus Cristos[a], pe Care L-ai trimis Tu. Eu Te-am proslăvit pe pământ, terminând lucrarea pe care Mi-ai dat-o s-o fac. Acum, proslăveşte-Mă Tu, Tată, în prezenţa Ta, cu slava pe care o aveam în prezenţa Ta înainte de a fi lumea!

Isus se roagă Tatălui pentru ucenici

Le-am făcut cunoscut Numele Tău oamenilor pe care Mi i-ai dat din lume. Erau ai Tăi şi Tu Mi i-ai dat, iar ei au păzit Cuvântul Tău. Acum au cunoscut că tot ce Mi-ai dat Tu este de la Tine. Căci le-am dat cuvintele pe care Mi le-ai dat Tu, iar ei le-au primit şi au cunoscut că într-adevăr am ieşit de la Tine şi au crezut că Tu M-ai trimis. Pentru ei mă rog; nu mă rog pentru lume, ci pentru cei pe care Mi i-ai dat Tu, pentru că sunt ai Tăi. 10 Tot ce este al Meu este al Tău şi tot ce este al Tău este al Meu. Şi Eu am fost proslăvit în ei. 11 Eu nu mai sunt în lume, dar ei sunt în lume, iar Eu vin la Tine. Sfinte Tată, păzeşte-i, în Numele Tău, pe care Mi L-ai dat, pentru ca ei să fie una, aşa cum suntem Noi! 12 Când eram cu ei, îi păzeam Eu în Numele Tău, pe care Mi L-ai dat. I-am păzit şi nici unul din ei n-a pierit, în afară de fiul pierzării[b], ca să se împlinească Scriptura[c]. 13 Acum însă, Eu vin la Tine; şi spun aceste lucruri pe când sunt încă în lume pentru ca să aibă în ei bucuria mea deplină. 14 Eu le-am dat Cuvântul Tău şi lumea i-a urât, pentru că ei nu sunt din lume, la fel cum nici Eu nu sunt din lume. 15 Nu Te rog să-i iei din lume, ci să-i păzeşti de cel rău! 16 Ei nu sunt din lume, aşa cum nici Eu nu sunt din lume. 17 Sfinţeşte-i[d] prin[e] adevăr! Cuvântul Tău este adevărul. 18 Aşa cum Tu M-ai trimis pe Mine în lume, tot aşa i-am trimis şi Eu pe ei în lume. 19 Eu Însumi M-am sfinţit pentru ei, ca şi ei să fie sfinţiţi prin adevăr.

Isus se roagă pentru toţi credincioşii

20 Şi mă rog nu numai pentru aceştia, ci şi pentru cei ce vor crede în Mine prin cuvântul lor, 21 ca toţi să fie una, aşa cum Tu, Tată, eşti în Mine, iar Eu în Tine; mă rog ca şi ei să fie în Noi, pentru ca lumea să creadă că Tu M-ai trimis. 22 Eu le-am dat slava pe care Mi-ai dat-o Tu, pentru ca ei să fie una, aşa cum şi Noi suntem una; 23 Eu în ei şi Tu în Mine – pentru ca ei să fie pe deplin una, astfel încât lumea să cunoască faptul că Tu M-ai trimis şi că i-ai iubit aşa cum M-ai iubit pe Mine. 24 Tată, doresc ca acolo unde sunt Eu, să fie cu Mine şi aceia pe care Mi i-ai dat Tu, ca să vadă slava Mea, slavă pe care Mi-ai dat-o Tu, fiindcă Tu M-ai iubit înainte de întemeierea lumii! 25 Neprihănitule Tată, lumea nu Te cunoaşte, dar Eu Te cunosc şi aceştia ştiu că Tu M-ai trimis. 26 Eu le-am făcut cunoscut Numele Tău şi li-l voi mai face cunoscut, pentru ca dragostea cu care M-ai iubit să fie în ei şi Eu să fiu în ei.“

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.”
