Jesus Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, (A)the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, (B)as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many (C)as You have given Him. And (D)this is eternal life, that they may know You, (E)the only true God, and Jesus Christ (F)whom You have sent. (G)I have glorified You on the earth. (H)I have finished the work (I)which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory (J)which I had with You before the world was.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

(K)“I have [c]manifested Your name to the men (L)whom You have given Me out of the world. (M)They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words (N)which You have given Me; and they have received them, (O)and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that (P)You sent Me.

“I pray for them. (Q)I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and (R)Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 (S)Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, (T)keep[d] through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one (U)as We are. 12 While I was with them [e]in the world, (V)I kept them in [f]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and (W)none of them is [g]lost (X)except the son of [h]perdition, (Y)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; (Z)and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, (AA)just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but (AB)that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (AC)Sanctify[i] them by Your truth. (AD)Your word is truth. 18 (AE)As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And (AF)for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [j]will believe in Me through their word; 21 (AG)that they all may be one, as (AH)You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the (AI)glory which You gave Me I have given them, (AJ)that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; (AK)that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 (AL)“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; (AM)for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! (AN)The world has not known You, but (AO)I have known You; and (AP)these have known that You sent Me. 26 (AQ)And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love (AR)with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

17 ¶ Estas cosas habló Jesús, y levantados los ojos al cielo, dijo: Padre, la hora viene; clarifica a tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te clarifique a ti;

como le has dado la potestad de toda carne, para que a todos los que le diste, les dé vida eterna.

Esta empero es la vida eterna: que te conozcan el único Dios verdadero, y al que enviaste, Jesús, el Cristo.

Yo te he clarificado en la tierra; he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciera.

Ahora pues, Padre, clarifícame tú cerca de ti mismo de aquella claridad que tuve cerca de ti antes que el mundo fuera.

¶ He manifestado tu Nombre a los hombres que del mundo me diste; tuyos eran, y me los diste, y guardaron tu palabra.

Ahora ya han conocido que todas las cosas que me diste, son de ti;

porque las palabras que me diste, les he dado; y ellos las recibieron, y han conocido verdaderamente que salí de ti, y han creído que tú me enviaste.

Yo ruego por ellos; no ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste; porque tuyos son;

10 y todas mis cosas son tus cosas, y tus cosas son mis cosas; y he sido clarificado en ellas.

11 ¶ Y ya no estoy en el mundo; mas éstos están en el mundo, y yo a ti vengo. Padre Santo, a los que me has dado, guárdalos en tu Nombre, para que sean una cosa, como también nosotros.

12 Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los guardaba en tu Nombre; a los que me diste, yo los guardé, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición; para que la Escritura se cumpliera.

13 Mas ahora vengo a ti; y hablo esto en el mundo, para que tengan mi gozo cumplido en sí mismos.

14 Yo les he dado tu palabra; y el mundo los aborreció, porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.

15 No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los guardes del mal.

16 No son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.

17 ¶ Santifícalos en tu verdad; tu palabra es la Verdad.

18 Como tú me enviaste al mundo, también yo los he enviado al mundo.

19 Y por ellos yo me santifico a mí mismo, para que también ellos sean santificados en la verdad.

20 ¶ Mas no ruego solamente por ellos, sino también por los que han de creer en mí por la palabra de ellos.

21 Para que todos sean una cosa; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean en nosotros una cosa; para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste.

22 Y yo, la claridad que me diste les he dado; para que sean una cosa, como también nosotros somos una cosa.

23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en una cosa; y que el mundo conozca que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado, como también a mí me has amado.

24 ¶ Padre, aquellos que me has dado, quiero que donde yo estoy, ellos estén también conmigo; para que vean mi claridad que me has dado; por cuanto me has amado desde antes de la constitución del mundo.

25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, mas yo te he conocido; y éstos han conocido que tú me enviaste;

26 y yo les he manifestado tu Nombre, y lo manifestaré aún; para que el amor con que me has amado, esté en ellos, y yo en ellos.
