John 17:1-5

Living Bible

17 When Jesus had finished saying all these things he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Reveal the glory of your Son so that he can give the glory back to you. ² For you have given him authority over every man and woman in all the earth. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. ³ And this is the way to have eternal life—by knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth! ⁴ I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to. ⁵ And now, Father, reveal my glory as I stand in your presence, the glory we shared before the world began.
