耶稣的祷告
17 耶稣说完后，就抬头望着天说：“父啊！时候到了，愿你使你的儿子得荣耀，好让你的儿子也使你得荣耀。 2 因为你把管理世人的权柄赐给了祂，使祂可以将永生赐予你交托给祂的人。 3 这永生就是，认识你——独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督。 4 我已经完成你交给我的工作，使你在地上得了荣耀。 5 父啊，现在让我和你同享创世以前我们所共有的荣耀吧！
6 “你从世上赐给我的人，我已将你[a]显明给他们。他们本来属于你，你将他们赐给了我，他们遵守你的道。 7 如今他们知道，你赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的， 8 因为我已经把你赐给我的道赐给他们，他们也接受了，并且确实知道我是从你那里来的，也相信是你差遣了我。
9 “我不为世人祈求，却为他们祈求，就是为你赐给我的那些人祈求，因为他们属于你。 10 一切属于我的都是你的，属于你的也是我的，我从他们身上得了荣耀。 11 现在我要离开这个世界去你那里了，他们却仍然留在世上。圣父啊，求你为了自己的名，就是你赐给我的名而保守他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。 12 我和他们在一起的时候，靠着你赐给我的名保守他们，看顾他们。除了那个注定灭亡的人以外，他们一个也没有灭亡，这是为了应验圣经上的话。
13 “现在我要去你那里了，我趁着还在世上的时候这样说，是要叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。 14 我已将你的道赐给他们，世人恨他们，因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 15 我不求你带他们离开这个世界，但求你保守他们脱离那恶者。 16 因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。 17 求你用真理，就是你的道，使他们圣洁。 18 你怎样差我到世上来，我也照样差他们到世人中间。 19 为了他们，我献上自己，使他们借着真理可以圣洁。
20 “我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些因他们的话而信我的人祈求， 21 使他们都合而为一，正如父你在我里面，我在你里面一样，并且使他们也在我们里面，好让世人相信是你差我来的。 22 我又将你赐给我的荣耀赐给他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。 23 我在他们里面，你在我里面，好使他们也完完全全地合而为一。这样，世人便知道我是你差来的，而且知道你爱他们，就像爱我一样。
24 “父啊！我在哪里，愿你赐给我的人也在哪里，好让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀，因为在创世以前你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊！世界还未认识你以前，我已经认识你了，这些人也知道是你差我来的。 26 我使他们认识了你的名，我还要使他们更认识你，好让你对我的爱存在他们里面，我也在他们里面。”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌臨別為門徒禱告
17 耶穌講完了這些話，就舉目望天，說：“父啊，時候到了，求你榮耀你的兒子，讓兒子也榮耀你， 2 正如你把管理全人類的權柄給了他，使他賜永生給你所賜給他的人。 3 認識你是獨一的真神，並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督，這就是永生。 4 我在地上已經榮耀了你，你交給我要作的工，我已經完成了。 5 父啊，現在讓我在你自己面前得著榮耀，就是在創世以前我與你同享的榮耀。
6 “你從世上分別出來賜給我的人，我已經把你的名顯明給他們了。他們是你的，你把他們賜給了我，他們也遵守了你的道。 7 現在他們知道，你所給我的，無論是甚麼，都是從你那裡來的； 8 因為你賜給我的話，我已經給了他們，他們也領受了，又確實知道我是從你那裡來的，並且信你差了我來。 9 我為他們求；我不為世人求，而是為你賜給我的人求，因為他們是你的。 10 我的一切都是你的，你的一切也是我的，並且我因著他們得了榮耀。 11 我不再在這世上，他們卻在這世上，我要到你那裡去。聖父啊，求你因你賜給我的名，保守他們，使他們合而為一，好像我們一樣。 12 我跟他們在一起的時候，因你賜給我的名，我保守了他們，也護衛了他們；他們中間除了那滅亡的人以外，沒有一個是滅亡的，這就應驗了經上的話。 13 現在我到你那裡去，我在世上說這些話，是要他們心裡充滿我的喜樂。 14 我把你的道賜給了他們；世人恨他們，因為他們不屬於這世界，像我不屬於這世界一樣。 15 我不求你使他們離開世界，只求你保守他們脫離那惡者。 16 他們不屬於這世界，像我不屬於這世界一樣。 17 求你用真理使他們成聖；你的道就是真理。 18 你怎樣差我到世上來，我也怎樣差他們到世上去。 19 我為了他們的緣故，自己分別為聖，使他們也因著真理成聖。
祈求使門徒合而為一
20 “我不但為他們求，也為那些因他們的話而信我的人求， 21 使他們都合而為一，像父你在我裡面，我在你裡面一樣；使他們也在我們裡面，讓世人相信你差了我來。 22 你賜給我的榮耀，我已經賜給了他們，使他們合而為一，像我們合而為一。 23 我在他們裡面，你在我裡面，使他們完完全全合而為一，讓世人知道你差了我來，並且知道你愛他們，好像愛我一樣。 24 父啊，我在哪裡，願你賜給我的人也和我同在哪裡，讓他們看見你賜給我的榮耀，因為在創立世界以前，你已經愛我了。 25 公義的父啊，世人雖然不認識你，我卻認識你，這些人也知道你差了我來。 26 我已經把你的名指示他們，還要再指示，使你愛我的愛在他們裡面，我也在他們裡面。”
John 17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 17
The Prayer of Jesus.[a] 1 When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven[b] and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,(A) 2 [c]just as you gave him authority over all people,(B) so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him. 3 [d]Now this is eternal life,(C) that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.(D)
6 “I revealed your name[e] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, 8 because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours,(E) 10 and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.(F) 11 And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are. 12 When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled.(G) 13 But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely.(H) 14 I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.(I) 15 [f]I do not ask that you take them out of the world(J) but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. 17 Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.(K) 18 As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.(L) 19 And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20 “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.(M) 22 And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am[g] they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.(N) 25 Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me.(O) 26 I made known to them your name and I will make it known,[h] that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.”
Footnotes
- 17:1–26 Climax of the last discourse(s). Since the sixteenth century, this chapter has been called the “high priestly prayer” of Jesus. He speaks as intercessor, with words addressed directly to the Father and not to the disciples, who supposedly only overhear. Yet the prayer is one of petition, for immediate (Jn 17:6–19) and future (Jn 17:20–21) disciples. Many phrases reminiscent of the Lord’s Prayer occur. Although still in the world (Jn 17:13), Jesus looks on his earthly ministry as a thing of the past (Jn 17:4, 12). Whereas Jesus has up to this time stated that the disciples could follow him (Jn 13:33, 36), now he wishes them to be with him in union with the Father (Jn 17:12–14).
- 17:1 The action of looking up to heaven and the address Father are typical of Jesus at prayer; cf. Jn 11:41 and Lk 11:2.
- 17:2 Another possible interpretation is to treat the first line of the verse as parenthetical and the second as an appositive to the clause that ends v 1: so that your son may glorify you (just as…all people), so that he may give eternal life….
- 17:3 This verse was clearly added in the editing of the gospel as a reflection on the preceding verse; Jesus nowhere else refers to himself as Jesus Christ.
- 17:6 I revealed your name: perhaps the name I AM; cf. Jn 8:24, 28, 58; 13:19.
- 17:15 Note the resemblance to the petition of the Lord’s Prayer, “deliver us from the evil one.” Both probably refer to the devil rather than to abstract evil.
- 17:24 Where I am: Jesus prays for the believers ultimately to join him in heaven. Then they will not see his glory as in a mirror but clearly (2 Cor 3:18; 1 Jn 3:2).
- 17:26 I will make it known: through the Advocate.
