John 17
Christian Standard Bible
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.
9 “I pray[b] for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,(T) because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,(U) and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.(V) Holy(W) Father, protect[c] them by your name(X) that you have given me, so that they may be one(Y) as we are(Z) one. 12 While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded(AA) them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction,[d] so that the Scripture(AB) may be fulfilled.(AC) 13 Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated(AD) them because they are not of the world,(AE) just as I am not of the world.(AF) 15 I am not praying 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, just as I am not of the world.(AH) 17 Sanctify(AI) them by the truth; (AJ) your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world,(AK) I also have sent them into the world. 19 I sanctify myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word. 21 May they all be one,(AL) as you, Father, are in me and I am in you.(AM) May they also be[e] in us, so that the world may believe you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory(AN) you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me,(AO) so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved(AP) them as you have loved me.(AQ)
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,(AR) so that they will see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the world’s foundation. 25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you. However, I have known you,(AS) and they have known that you sent me. 26 I made your name(AT) known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.”(AU)
John 17
Living Bible
17 When Jesus had finished saying all these things he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Reveal the glory of your Son so that he can give the glory back to you. 2 For you have given him authority over every man and woman in all the earth. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. 3 And this is the way to have eternal life—by knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth! 4 I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to. 5 And now, Father, reveal my glory as I stand in your presence, the glory we shared before the world began.
6 “I have told these men all about you. They were in the world, but then you gave them to me. Actually, they were always yours, and you gave them to me; and they have obeyed you. 7 Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, 8 for I have passed on to them the commands you gave me; and they accepted them and know of a certainty that I came down to earth from you, and they believe you sent me.
9 “My plea is not for the world but for those you have given me because they belong to you. 10
13 “And now I am coming to you. I have told them many things while I was with them so that they would be filled with my joy. 14 I have given them your commands. And the world hates them because they don’t fit in with it, just as I don’t. 15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from Satan’s power. 16 They are not part of this world any more than I am. 17 Make them pure and holy through teaching them your words of truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world, 19 and I consecrate myself to meet their need for growth in truth and holiness.
20 “I am not praying for these alone but also for the future believers who will come to me because of the testimony of these. 21 My prayer for all of them is that they will be of one heart and mind, just as you and I are, Father—that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me.
22 “I have given them the glory you gave me—the glorious unity of being one, as we are— 23 I in them and you in me, all being perfected into one—so that the world will know you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me. 24 Father, I want them with me—these you’ve given me—so that they can see my glory. You gave me the glory because you loved me before the world began!
25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. 26 And I have revealed you to them and will keep on revealing you so that the mighty love you have for me may be in them, and I in them.”

ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରନ୍ତି
17 ଯୀଶୁ ଏସମସ୍ତ କଥା କହିସାରିବା ପରେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗ ଆଡ଼େ ଗ୍ଭହିଁଲେ। ସେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲେ, “ହେ ପରମପିତା, ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସମୟ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କରିଦିଅ, ଯେପରି ପୁତ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କରି ପାରିବେ। 2 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଉପରେ କ୍ଷମତା ଦେଇଛ। ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଦେଇଛ, ସେସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ସେହି ପୁତ୍ର ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନ ଦିଅନ୍ତି। 3 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ଏକମାତ୍ର ସତ୍ୟ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର, ତୁମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ ଓ ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପଠାଇଛ, ସେହି ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣିବା ହିଁ ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନ ଅଟେ। 4 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଯେଉଁ କାମ ଦେଇଥିଲ ତାହା ମୁଁ କରିସାରିଛି। ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏ ସଂସାରରେ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କରିଛି। 5 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପରମପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉପସ୍ଥିତିରେ ମୋତେ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କର। ଜଗତ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହେବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ, ମୋର ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଯେଉଁ ଗୌରବ ଥିଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କର।
6 “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୃଥିବୀର କେତେକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ମୋତେ ଦେଲ। 7 ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛି। ସେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଥିଲେ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୋତେ ଦେଲ। ସେମାନେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଯାହାସବୁ ଦେଇଛ, ସେ ସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖରୁ ଆସେ। 8 ମୋତେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଇଥିଲ, ମୁଁ ସେହି ଉପଦେଶ ଏହି ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇଛି। ସେମାନେ ତାହା ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେମାନେ ଜାଣି ପାରିଲେ ଯେ, ମୁଁ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଆସିଛି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ପଠାଇଛ ବୋଲି ସେମାନେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିଛନ୍ତି। 9 ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏବେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି। ମୁଁ ପୃଥିବୀର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ସେହିମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି, ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଦେଇଥିଲ। କାରଣ ସେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଟନ୍ତି। 10 ମୋର ଯାହାସବୁ ଅଛି, ସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଯାହା ଅଛି, ସବୁ ମୋର। ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ମୋତେ ଗୌରବାନ୍ୱିତ କରନ୍ତି।
11 “ମୁଁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖକୁ ଆସୁଛି। ମୁଁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଜଗତରେ ଆଉ ରହିବି ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଜଗତରେ ରହିଛନ୍ତି। ହେ ପବିତ୍ର ପରମପିତା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିରାପଦରେ ରଖ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ନାମର ଶକ୍ତି ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିରାପଦରେ ରଖ ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଓ ମୁଁ ଏକ, ସେମାନେ ସେହିପରି ଏକ ହୋଇ ପାରିବେ। 12 ମୁଁ ଯେତେବେଳେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିଲି, ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିରାପଦରେ ରଖିଥିଲି। ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନାମର ଶକ୍ତି ବଳରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିରାପଦରେ ରଖିଥିଲି। ସେହି ନାମ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଦେଇଥିଲ। ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁରକ୍ଷିତ କଲି। ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତରୁ କେବଳ ଜଣେ ବିନାଶ ପାଇଁ ଉଦ୍ଧିଷ୍ଟ ଥିଲା। ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ଯେପରି ସଫଳ ହୁଏ ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ନଷ୍ଟ ହେଲା।
13 “ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖକୁ ଏବେ ଆସୁଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ଜଗତରେ ଥାଉ ଥାଉ ଏହିସବୁ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି। ମୁଁ ଏହିସବୁ କହେ, ଯେପରି ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ମୋ'ଠାରେ ଥିବା ଆନନ୍ଦ ପାଇ ପାରିବେ। ମୁଁ ଗ୍ଭହେଁ, ସେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତରେ ମୋର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଆନନ୍ଦ ପାଆନ୍ତୁ। 14 ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଇଅଛି। ଆଉ ଏହି ଜଗତର ଲୋକମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଘୃଣା କରନ୍ତି। କାରଣ ସେମାନେ ଜଗତର ନୁହନ୍ତି ଓ ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହି ଜଗତରୁ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ନୁହେଁ।
15 “ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଗତରୁ ନେଇଯିବା ପାଇଁ କହୁ ନାହିଁ। ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ପାପାତ୍ମା ଶୟତାନଠାରୁ ନିରାପଦରେ ରଖିବା ପାଇଁ କହୁଛି। 16 ମୁଁ ଯେପରି ଜଗତର ନୁହେଁ, ସେମାନେ ସେହିପରି ଏହି ଜଗତର ନୁହନ୍ତି। 17 ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସତ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସେବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରାଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉପଦେଶ ହେଉଛି ସତ୍ୟ। 18 ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଗତ ମଧ୍ୟକୁ ପଠାଇ ଦେଇଛି ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଏହି ଜଗତକୁ ପଠାଇଲ। 19 ମୁଁ ନିଜକୁ ସେବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରୁଛି। ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏହା କରୁଛି ଯେହେତୁ ସେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସେବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହୋଇପାରିବେ।
20 “ମୁଁ ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରେ ଓ ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଶିକ୍ଷା ହେତୁ ମୋ'ଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିବାକୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି। 21 ହେ ପରମପିତା, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରେ ଯେପରି ମୋ’ ଉପରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ରଖୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ଏକ ହୋଇପାରିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋ'ଠାରେ ରହିଛ ଓ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରେ ଅଛି। ମୁଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରେ, ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭଠାରେ ଯେପରି ଏକ ହୋଇ ପାରିବେ। ତଦ୍ଦ୍ୱାରା ଜଗତ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିବ, ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ପଠାଇଅଛ। 22 ମୋତେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ଗୌରବ ଦେଇଥିଲ, ମୁଁ ତାହା ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇଛି। ଏହି ଗୌରବ ଦେବାର କାରଣ ହେଉଛି ଯେ, ଯେପରି ‘ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଓ ମୁଁ ଏକ, ସେହିପରି ସେମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏକ ହୋଇପାରିବେ।’ 23 ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ରହିବି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋ'ଠାରେ ରହିବ। ତେଣୁ ସେମାନେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ଏକ ହୋଇପାରିବେ। ତାହାହେଲେ ଏହି ଜଗତ ଜାଣି ପାରିବ ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ପଠାଇଛ। ଏ ଜଗତ ଜାଣିବ ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଯେପରି ପ୍ରେମ କରୁଥିଲ ଠିକ୍ ସେହିପରି ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରେମ କରୁଛ।
24 “ହେ ପରମପିତା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇଛ, ମୁଁ ଗ୍ଭହେଁ, ମୁଁ ଥିବା ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ସେମାନେ ମୋ’ ସହିତ ରୁହନ୍ତୁ। ମୁଁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରେ, ସେମାନେ ମୋର ଗୌରବ ଦେଖନ୍ତୁ। ଏହି ଗୌରବ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ଦେଇଛ, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୃଥିବୀ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ହେବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ମୋତେ ପ୍ରେମ କଲ। 25 ହେ ପରମପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ହେଉଛ ଉତ୍ତମ। ଏହି ଜଗତ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଚିହ୍ନି ନାହିଁ କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଚିହ୍ନେ। ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋତେ ପଠାଇଛ। 26 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି ତାହା ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛି। ଏବଂ ପୁନର୍ବାର ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବି। ତା'ପରେ ମୋ’ ପ୍ରତି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଯେପରି ପ୍ରେମ ରହିଛି, ସେହିପରି ପ୍ରେମ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ରହିବ ଓ ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ବାସ କରିବି।”
