The High Priestly Prayer

17 Jesus spoke these things; and ^(A)lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; ^(B)glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, ² even as ^(C)You gave Him authority over all flesh, that ^(D)to ^[a]all whom You have given Him, ^(E)He may give eternal life. ³ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(F)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom ^(G)You have sent. ^4 (H)I glorified You on the earth, ^[b](I)having finished the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵ Now, Father, ^(J)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had ^(K)with You before the world was.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶ “^(L)I have manifested Your name to the men whom ^(M)You gave Me out of the world; they were ^(N)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^(O)kept Your word. ⁷ Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You; ⁸ for ^(P)the words which You gave Me ^(Q)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^(R)I came forth from You, and they believed that ^(S)You sent Me.
