Johannes 17
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Jesus beder til sin Far
17 Derefter så Jesus op mod nattehimlen og sagde: „Far, nu er tiden inde. Ophøj din Søn, så jeg kan ophøje dig. 2 Du har jo givet mig den højeste myndighed over hele menneskeheden, for at jeg kan give evigt liv til alle dem, du har givet mig. 3 Det evige liv er at kende dig, den eneste sande Gud, og den Frelser og Messias, som du har sendt. 4 Jeg har æret dig her på jorden ved at fuldføre den opgave, du har givet mig. 5 Far, ær du nu mig og før mig tilbage til din herlighed—tilbage til den position, jeg havde hos dig, før verden blev skabt.
6 Jeg har åbenbaret, hvem du er, for de mennesker, som du kaldte ud af verden og gav til mig. De var dine, men du gav dem til mig, og de har holdt fast ved dit ord. 7 Nu forstår de, at alt, hvad jeg har, det har jeg fået fra dig, 8 for de ord, jeg har fået fra dig, har jeg givet videre til dem, og de har taget imod dem. De ved nu, at jeg er kommet fra dig, og at du har sendt mig.
9 Jeg går i forbøn for dem, Far. Jeg går ikke i forbøn for verden, men for dem, som du har givet mig, for de tilhører dig. 10 Du og jeg har alt tilfælles, og mine disciple har gjort mig ære. 11 Nu kommer jeg til dig, for jeg skal ikke være i verden længere, men de skal leve i denne verden. Hellige Far, hold din hånd over dem, som du har givet mig. Beskyt dem med den mægtige kraft, som du gav mig, for at de må blive ét, ligesom vi er ét! 12 Så længe jeg var hos dem, beskyttede jeg dem med din kraft. Jeg tog hånd om dem, så ikke en eneste af dem gik fortabt—undtagen ham, der måtte gå fortabt, og på den måde blev Skriften opfyldt.
13 Nu er jeg på vej til dig, og jeg siger det her, mens jeg endnu er på denne jord, for at de må blive fyldt med min glæde. 14 Jeg har indviet dem i dit budskab, og nu hader verden dem, fordi de ikke længere er en del af verden, ligesom jeg ikke er en del af den. 15 Jeg beder dig ikke om at tage dem ud af verden, men om at beskytte dem fra den Ondes angreb. 16 Men de hører ikke til i verden, ligesom jeg ikke hører til i verden. 17 Rens dem gennem dit ord, som er sandheden. 18 Som du sendte mig til verden, sender jeg nu dem til verden. 19 Jeg indvier mig selv til dig, for at også de gennem erkendelsen af sandheden må indvi sig helt til dig.
20 Jeg beder ikke kun for dem, der er her, men også for dem, som i fremtiden kommer til tro på mig gennem deres vidnesbyrd. 21 Jeg beder om, at de alle må blive ét, ligesom du og jeg er ét, så verden kan tro, at du har sendt mig. 22 Den herlighed, du gav mig, har jeg givet videre til dem, for at de kan blive ét, ligesom vi er ét. 23 Når jeg er ét med dem, og du er ét med mig, så er enheden fuldkommen! Så vil verden indse, at du har sendt mig, og at du elsker dem, ligesom du elsker mig.
24 Far, mit ønske er, at de, som du har givet mig, må komme til det sted, hvor jeg tager hen, og at de må se den herlighed, som du har givet mig, fordi du har elsket mig, fra før verden blev til. 25 Retfærdige Far! Selv om verden ikke kender dig, så kender jeg dig, og mine disciple her ved, at du har sendt mig. 26 Jeg har vist dem, hvem du er, og det vil jeg fortsætte med, for at den kærlighed, hvormed du har elsket mig, må være i dem, og jeg må være i dem.”

Jesus Prays for His Followers
17 After Jesus said these things he looked toward heaven. Jesus prayed, “Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can give glory to you. 2 You gave the Son power over all people so that the Son could give eternal life to all those people you have given to him. 3 And this is eternal life: that men can know you, the only true God, and that men can know Jesus Christ, the One you sent. 4 I finished the work you gave me to do. I brought you glory on earth. 5 And now, Father, give me glory with you. Give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.
6 “You gave me some men from the world. I have shown them what you are like. Those men belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your teaching. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. 8 I gave these men the teachings that you gave me. They accepted those teachings. They know that I truly came from you. 9 I pray for them now. I am not praying for the people in the world. But I am praying for those men you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And my glory is shown through these men. 11 Now I am coming to you. I will not stay in the world now. But these men are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe. Keep them safe by the power of your name (the name you gave me), so that they will be one, the same as you and I are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe. I kept them safe by the power of your name—the name you gave me. I protected them. And only one of them, the one who is going to hell, was lost. He was lost so that what was said in the Scripture would happen.
13 “I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world. I say these things so that these men can have my joy. I want them to have all of my joy. 14 I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them. The world hated these men, because they don’t belong to the world, the same as I don’t belong to the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world. But I am asking that you keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 They don’t belong to the world, the same as I don’t belong to the world. 17 Make them ready for your service through your truth. Your teaching is truth. 18 I have sent them into the world, the same as you sent me into the world. 19 I am making myself ready to serve. I do this for them so that they can truly be ready for your service.
20 “I pray for these men. But I am also praying for all people who will believe in me because of the teaching of these men. 21 Father, I pray that all people who believe in me can be one. You are in me and I am in you. I pray that these people can also be one in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. 22 I have given these people the glory that you gave me. I gave them this glory so that they can be one, the same as you and I are one. 23 I will be in them and you will be in me. So they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me. And the world will know that you loved these people the same as you loved me.
24 “Father, I want these people that you have given me to be with me in every place I am. I want them to see my glory. This is the glory you gave me because you loved me before the world was made. 25 Father, you are the One who is good. The world does not know you, but I know you. And these people know that you sent me. 26 I showed them what you are like. And again I will show them what you are like. Then they will have the same love that you have for me. And I will live in them.”
