Juan 17
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Plegaria de Jesús por los suyos
17 Después de decir todo esto, Jesús levantó los ojos al cielo y exclamó:
— Padre, ha llegado la hora. Glorifica a tu Hijo, para que tu Hijo te glorifique a ti. 2 Tú le has dado autoridad sobre todas las criaturas; que él dé ahora vida eterna a todos los que tú le has confiado. 3 Y la vida eterna consiste en que te reconozcan a ti como único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo como tu enviado.
4 Yo he manifestado tu gloria aquí, en este mundo, llevando a cabo la obra que me encomendaste. 5 Ahora, pues, Padre, hónrame en tu presencia con aquella gloria que ya compartía contigo antes que el mundo existiera.
6 Te he dado a conocer a quienes me confiaste sacándolos del mundo. Eran tuyos; tú me los confiaste, y han obedecido tu mensaje. 7 Ahora han comprendido que todo lo que me confiaste es tuyo; 8 yo les he entregado la enseñanza que tú me entregaste y la han recibido. Saben, además, con absoluta certeza que yo he venido de ti y han creído que fuiste tú quien me enviaste.
9 Yo te ruego por ellos. No te ruego por los del mundo, sino por los que tú me confiaste, ya que son tuyos. 10 Todo lo mío es tuyo y todo lo tuyo es mío, y en ellos resplandece mi gloria. 11 Desde ahora, ya no estaré en el mundo; pero ellos se quedan en el mundo, mientras que yo voy a ti. Protege con tu poder, Padre santo, a los que me has confiado, para que vivan unidos, como vivimos unidos nosotros.
12 Mientras estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo mismo cuidaba con tu poder a los que me confiaste. Los guardé de tal manera, que ninguno de ellos se ha perdido, fuera del que tenía que perderse en cumplimiento de la Escritura. 13 Ahora voy a ti y digo estas cosas mientras todavía estoy en el mundo para que ellos puedan compartir plenamente mi alegría.
14 Yo les he confiado tu mensaje, pero el mundo los odia, porque no son del mundo, como yo tampoco soy del mundo. 15 No te pido que los saques del mundo, sino que los libres del mal. 16 Como yo no pertenezco al mundo, tampoco ellos pertenecen al mundo. 17 Haz que se consagren a ti por medio de la verdad; tu mensaje es la verdad.
18 Yo los he enviado al mundo, como tú me enviaste a mí. 19 Por ellos yo me consagro para que también ellos sean consagrados por medio de la verdad.
20 Y no te ruego sólo por ellos; te ruego también por todos los que han de creer en mí por medio de su mensaje. 21 Te pido que todos vivan unidos. Como tú, Padre, estás en mí y yo en ti, que también ellos estén en nosotros. De este modo el mundo creerá que tú me has enviado.
22 Yo les he comunicado la gloria con que tú me has glorificado, de manera que sean uno, como lo somos nosotros. 23 Como tú vives en mí, vivo yo en ellos para que alcancen la unión perfecta y así el mundo reconozca que tú me has enviado y que los amas a ellos como me amas a mí. 24 Es mi deseo, Padre, que todos estos que tú me has confiado estén conmigo y contemplen mi gloria, la que me diste antes de que el mundo existiese.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido; pero yo te conozco, y todos estos han llegado a conocer que tú me has enviado. 26 Les he dado a conocer quién eres, y continuaré dándoselo a conocer, para que el amor que tú me tienes se manifieste en ellos y yo mismo viva en ellos.
John 17
GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus Prays for Himself, His Disciples, and His Church
17 After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory. 2 After all, you’ve given him authority over all humanity so that he can give eternal life to all those you gave to him. 3 This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. 4 On earth I have given you glory by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, give me glory in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.
6 “I made your name known to the people you gave me. They are from this world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They did what you told them. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you, 8 because I gave them the message that you gave me. They have accepted this message, and they know for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
9 “I pray for them. I’m not praying for the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine. I have been given glory by the people you have given me. 11 I won’t be in the world much longer, but they are in the world, and I’m coming back to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name, the name that you gave me, so that their unity may be like ours. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name that you gave me. I watched over them, and none of them, except one person, became lost. So Scripture came true.
13 “But now, ⌞Father,⌟ I’m coming back to you. I say these things while I’m still in the world so that they will have the same joy that I have. 14 I have given them your message. But the world has hated them because they don’t belong to the world any more than I 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 any more than I belong to the world.
17 “Use the truth to make them holy. Your words are truth. 18 I have sent them into the world the same way you sent me into the world. 19 I’m dedicating myself to this holy work I’m doing for them so that they, too, will use the truth to be holy.
20 “I’m not praying only for them. I’m also praying for those who will believe in me through their message. 21 I pray that all of these people continue to have unity in the way that you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they may be united with us so that the world will believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me. I did this so that they are united in the same way we are. 23 I am in them, and you are in me. So they are completely united. In this way the world knows that you have sent me and that you have loved them in the same way you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given to me to be with me, to be where I am. I want them to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the world was made. 25 Father, you have done what is right and the world didn’t know you. Yet, I knew you, and these ⌞disciples⌟ have known that you sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love you have for me will be in them and I will be in them.”
