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. ^9 (T)I ask on their behalf; ^(U)I do not ask on behalf of the world but of those whom ^(V)You have given Me; for ^(W)they are Yours; ¹⁰ and ^(X)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world; and yet ^(Y)they themselves are in the world, and ^(Z)I come to You. ^(AA)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^(AB)which You have given Me, that ^(AC)they may be one even as We are. ¹² While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name ^(AD)which You have given Me; and I guarded them and ^(AE)not one of them perished but ^(AF)the ^[c]son of perdition, so that the ^(AG)Scripture would be fulfilled. ¹³ But now ^(AH)I come to You; and ^(AI)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ^(AJ)joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and ^(AK)the world has hated them, because ^(AL)they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them ^[d]from ^[e](AM)the evil one. ^16 (AN)They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ^17 (AO)Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸ As ^(AP)You sent Me into the world, ^(AQ)I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹ For their sake I ^(AR)sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be ^(AS)sanctified ^(AT)in truth.

²⁰ “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; ²¹ that they may all be one; ^(AU)even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(AV)so that the world may ^[f]believe that ^(AW)You sent Me. ²² The ^(AX)glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; ^23 (AY)I in them and You in Me, that they may be ^[g]perfected ^[h]in unity, so that the world may ^[i]know that ^(AZ)You sent Me, and ^(BA)loved them, even as You have loved Me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that ^(BB)they also, whom You have given Me, ^(BC)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ^(BD)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ^(BE)the foundation of the world.

²⁵ “O ^(BF)righteous Father, ^[j]although ^(BG)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that ^(BH)You sent Me; ²⁶ and ^(BI)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that ^(BJ)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
