耶稣的祷告

17 耶稣说了这些话,就举目望天,说:“父啊,时候到了,愿你荣耀你的儿子,使儿子也荣耀你; 因为你曾赐给他权柄掌管凡血肉之躯的,使他把永生赐给你所赐给他的人。 认识你—独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生。 我在地上已经荣耀你,你交给我做的工作,我已完成了。 父啊,现在求你使我在你面前得荣耀,就是在未有世界以前,我同你享有的荣耀。

“你从世上赐给我的人,我已把你的名显明给他们。他们本是你的,你把他们赐给我,他们也遵守了你的道。 现在他们知道,你所赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的; 因为你所赐给我的话,我已经赐给他们,他们也领受了,又确实知道,我是从你出来的,并且信你差了我来。 我为他们祈求,不为世人祈求,却为你所赐给我的人祈求,因他们本是你的。 10 凡是我的都是你的,你的也是我的,并且我因他们得了荣耀。 11 我到你那里去;我不再留在世上,他们却在世上。圣父啊,求你因你的名,就是你所赐给我的名,保守他们,使他们像我们一样合而为一。 12 我与他们同在的时候,我奉你的名,就是你所赐给我的名,保守了他们,我也护卫了他们;其中除了那灭亡之子,没有一个灭亡的,好使经上的话得以应验。 13 现在我到你那里去,我在世上说这些话,是要他们心里充满了我的喜乐。 14 我已把你的道赐给他们;世界恨他们,因为他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样。 15 我不求你把他们从世上接走,只求你保全他们,使他们脱离那恶者。 16 他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样。 17 求你用真理使他们成圣;你的道就是真理。 18 你怎样差我到世上,我也照样差他们到世上。 19 我为他们的缘故使自己分别为圣,为要使他们也因真理成圣。

20 “我不但为这些人祈求,也为那些藉着他们的话信我的人祈求, 21 使他们都合而为一。正如父你在我里面,我在你里面,使他们也在我们里面,好让世人信是你差我来的。 22 你所赐给我的荣耀,我已赐给他们,使他们合而为一,像我们合而为一。 23 我在他们里面,你在我里面,使他们完完全全合而为一,让世人知道是你差我来的,也知道你爱他们,如同爱我一样。 24 父啊,我在哪里,愿你所赐给我的人也同我在哪里,使他们看见你所赐给我的荣耀,因为创世以前,你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊,世人未曾认识你,我却认识你,这些人也知道是你差我来的。 26 我已让他们认识你的名,还要让他们认识,好让你爱我的爱在他们里面,我也在他们里面。”

耶稣临别为门徒祷告

17 耶稣讲完了这些话,就举目望天,说:“父啊,时候到了,求你荣耀你的儿子,让儿子也荣耀你, 正如你把管理全人类的权柄给了他,使他赐永生给你所赐给他的人。 认识你是独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生。 我在地上已经荣耀了你,你交给我要作的工,我已经完成了。 父啊,现在让我在你自己面前得着荣耀,就是在创世以前我与你同享的荣耀。

“你从世上分别出来赐给我的人,我已经把你的名显明给他们了。他们是你的,你把他们赐给了我,他们也遵守了你的道。 现在他们知道,你所给我的,无论是甚么,都是从你那里来的; 因为你赐给我的话,我已经给了他们,他们也领受了,又确实知道我是从你那里来的,并且信你差了我来。 我为他们求;我不为世人求,而是为你赐给我的人求,因为他们是你的。 10 我的一切都是你的,你的一切也是我的,并且我因着他们得了荣耀。 11 我不再在这世上,他们却在这世上,我要到你那里去。圣父啊,求你因你赐给我的名,保守他们,使他们合而为一,好象我们一样。 12 我跟他们在一起的时候,因你赐给我的名,我保守了他们,也护卫了他们;他们中间除了那灭亡的人以外,没有一个是灭亡的,这就应验了经上的话。 13 现在我到你那里去,我在世上说这些话,是要他们心里充满我的喜乐。 14 我把你的道赐给了他们;世人恨他们,因为他们不属于这世界,像我不属于这世界一样。 15 我不求你使他们离开世界,只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。 16 他们不属于这世界,像我不属于这世界一样。 17 求你用真理使他们成圣;你的道就是真理。 18 你怎样差我到世上来,我也怎样差他们到世上去。 19 我为了他们的缘故,自己分别为圣,使他们也因着真理成圣。

祈求使门徒合而为一

20 “我不但为他们求,也为那些因他们的话而信我的人求, 21 使他们都合而为一,像父你在我里面,我在你里面一样;使他们也在我们里面,让世人相信你差了我来。 22 你赐给我的荣耀,我已经赐给了他们,使他们合而为一,像我们合而为一。 23 我在他们里面,你在我里面,使他们完完全全合而为一,让世人知道你差了我来,并且知道你爱他们,好象爱我一样。 24 父啊,我在哪里,愿你赐给我的人也和我同在哪里,让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀,因为在创立世界以前,你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊,世人虽然不认识你,我却认识你,这些人也知道你差了我来。 26 我已经把你的名指示他们,还要再指示,使你爱我的爱在他们里面,我也在他们里面。”

Jesus Prays for His Followers

17 After Jesus said these things he looked toward heaven. Jesus prayed, “Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can give glory to you. You gave the Son power over all people so that the Son could give eternal life to all those people you have given to him. And this is eternal life: that men can know you, the only true God, and that men can know Jesus Christ, the One you sent. I finished the work you gave me to do. I brought you glory on earth. And now, Father, give me glory with you. Give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.

“You gave me some men from the world. I have shown them what you are like. Those men belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your teaching. Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. I gave these men the teachings that you gave me. They accepted those teachings. They know that I truly came from you. I pray for them now. I am not praying for the people in the world. But I am praying for those men you gave me, because they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And my glory is shown through these men. 11 Now I am coming to you. I will not stay in the world now. But these men are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe. Keep them safe by the power of your name (the name you gave me), so that they will be one, the same as you and I are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe. I kept them safe by the power of your name—the name you gave me. I protected them. And only one of them, the one who is going to hell, was lost. He was lost so that what was said in the Scripture would happen.

13 “I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world. I say these things so that these men can have my joy. I want them to have all of my joy. 14 I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them. The world hated these men, because they don’t belong to the world, the same as I don’t belong to the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world. But I am asking that you keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 They don’t belong to the world, the same as I don’t belong to the world. 17 Make them ready for your service through your truth. Your teaching is truth. 18 I have sent them into the world, the same as you sent me into the world. 19 I am making myself ready to serve. I do this for them so that they can truly be ready for your service.

20 “I pray for these men. But I am also praying for all people who will believe in me because of the teaching of these men. 21 Father, I pray that all people who believe in me can be one. You are in me and I am in you. I pray that these people can also be one in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. 22 I have given these people the glory that you gave me. I gave them this glory so that they can be one, the same as you and I are one. 23 I will be in them and you will be in me. So they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me. And the world will know that you loved these people the same as you loved me.

24 “Father, I want these people that you have given me to be with me in every place I am. I want them to see my glory. This is the glory you gave me because you loved me before the world was made. 25 Father, you are the One who is good. The world does not know you, but I know you. And these people know that you sent me. 26 I showed them what you are like. And again I will show them what you are like. Then they will have the same love that you have for me. And I will live in them.”

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven(A) and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come.(B) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.(C) For you granted him authority over all people(D) that he might give eternal life(E) to all those you have given him.(F) Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(G) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(H) I have brought you glory(I) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(J) And now, Father, glorify me(K) in your presence with the glory I had with you(L) before the world began.(M)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

“I have revealed you[a](N) to those whom you gave me(O) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me(P) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(Q) and they believed that you sent me.(R) I pray for them.(S) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(T) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(U) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(V) and I am coming to you.(W) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(X) as we are one.(Y) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost(Z) except the one doomed to destruction(AA) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(AB)

13 “I am coming to you now,(AC) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(AD) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(AE) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(AF) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(AG) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(AH) 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth.(AI) 18 As you sent me into the world,(AJ) I have sent them into the world.(AK) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(AL)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(AM) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(AN) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(AO) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(AP) that they may be one as we are one(AQ) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(AR) and have loved them(AS) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(AT) to be with me where I am,(AU) and to see my glory,(AV) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(AW)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(AX) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(AY) 26 I have made you[e] known to them,(AZ) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(BA) and that I myself may be in them.”
