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, ^2 (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. ³ And ^(D)this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(E)the only true God, and Jesus Christ ^(F)whom You have sent. ^4 (G)I have glorified You on the earth. ^(H)I have finished the work ^(I)which You have given Me to do. ⁵ 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

^6 (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. ⁷ Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. ⁸ 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.

⁹ “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.”

^18 (A)the eyes of your ^[a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is ^(B)the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, ^(C)according to the working of His mighty power ²⁰ which He worked in Christ when ^(D)He raised Him from the dead and ^(E)seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ^21 (F)far above all ^(G)principality^[b] and ^[c]power and ^[d]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

²² And ^(H)He put all things under His feet, and gave Him ^(I)to be head over all things to the church,

^4 (A)“Hear, O Israel: ^[a]The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

^4 (A)“Hear, O Israel: ^[a]The Lord our God, the Lord is one! ^5 (B)You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, ^(C)with all your soul, and with all your strength.

⁶ “And ^(D)these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. ^7 (E)You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ^8 (F)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ^9 (G)You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
