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, 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。 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。 我在地上已經榮耀了你,你交給我要作的工,我已經完成了。 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。

“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。 現在他們知道,你所給我的,無論是甚麼,都是從你那裡來的; 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。 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。”

Jesus Prays for Himself, His Disciples, and His Future Followers

17 After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you. For[a] you have given him authority over all humanity[b] so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him. And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent—Jesus the Messiah.[c] I glorified you on earth by completing the task you gave me to do.

“So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed. I have made your name known to these men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they realize that everything you gave me comes from you, because the words that you gave me I passed on to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

“I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified through them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name[d] that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them by the authority[e] that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for[f] destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 “And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world. 15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one. 16 They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.

17 “Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 It is for their sakes that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified by the truth. 20 I ask not only on behalf of these men,[g] but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message, 21 so that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one[h] in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

22 “I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one. 23 I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me. 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me. 26 I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me[i] may be in them and I myself may be in them.”

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.”
