Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(A) that they may be one as we are one(B) 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(C) and have loved them(D) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(E) to be with me where I am,(F) and to see my glory,(G) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(H)

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