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

(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. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 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.

“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.”

耶穌的禱告

17 耶穌說了這些話,就舉目望天,說:「父啊,時候到了,願你榮耀你的兒子,使兒子也榮耀你; 因為你曾賜給他權柄掌管凡血肉之軀的,使他把永生賜給你所賜給他的人。 認識你—獨一的真神,並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督,這就是永生。 我在地上已經榮耀你,你交給我做的工作,我已完成了。 父啊,現在求你使我在你面前得榮耀,就是在未有世界以前,我同你享有的榮耀。

「你從世上賜給我的人,我已把你的名顯明給他們。他們本是你的,你把他們賜給我,他們也遵守了你的道。 現在他們知道,你所賜給我的一切都是從你那裏來的; 因為你所賜給我的話,我已經賜給他們,他們也領受了,又確實知道,我是從你出來的,並且信你差了我來。 我為他們祈求,不為世人祈求,卻為你所賜給我的人祈求,因他們本是你的。 10 凡是我的都是你的,你的也是我的,並且我因他們得了榮耀。 11 我到你那裏去;我不再留在世上,他們卻在世上。聖父啊,求你因你的名,就是你所賜給我的名,保守他們,使他們像我們一樣合而為一。 12 我與他們同在的時候,我奉你的名,就是你所賜給我的名,保守了他們,我也護衛了他們;其中除了那滅亡之子,沒有一個滅亡的,好使經上的話得以應驗。 13 現在我到你那裏去,我在世上說這些話,是要他們心裏充滿了我的喜樂。 14 我已把你的道賜給他們;世界恨他們,因為他們不屬世界,正如我不屬世界一樣。 15 我不求你把他們從世上接走,只求你保全他們,使他們脫離那惡者。 16 他們不屬世界,正如我不屬世界一樣。 17 求你用真理使他們成聖;你的道就是真理。 18 你怎樣差我到世上,我也照樣差他們到世上。 19 我為他們的緣故使自己分別為聖,為要使他們也因真理成聖。

20 「我不但為這些人祈求,也為那些藉着他們的話信我的人祈求, 21 使他們都合而為一。正如父你在我裏面,我在你裏面,使他們也在我們裏面,好讓世人信是你差我來的。 22 你所賜給我的榮耀,我已賜給他們,使他們合而為一,像我們合而為一。 23 我在他們裏面,你在我裏面,使他們完完全全合而為一,讓世人知道是你差我來的,也知道你愛他們,如同愛我一樣。 24 父啊,我在哪裏,願你所賜給我的人也同我在哪裏,使他們看見你所賜給我的榮耀,因為創世以前,你已經愛我了。 25 公義的父啊,世人未曾認識你,我卻認識你,這些人也知道是你差我來的。 26 我已讓他們認識你的名,還要讓他們認識,好讓你愛我的愛在他們裏面,我也在他們裏面。」

The High Priestly Prayer

17 When Jesus had spoken these words, (A)he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, (B)the hour has come; (C)glorify your Son that the Son may (D)glorify you, since (E)you have given him authority over all flesh, (F)to give eternal life to all (G)whom you have given him. (H)And this is eternal life, (I)that they know you, (J)the only (K)true God, and (L)Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I (M)glorified you on earth, (N)having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, (O)glorify me in your own presence with the glory (P)that I had with you (Q)before the world existed.

(R)“I have manifested your name to the people (S)whom you gave me out of the world. (T)Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything (U)that you have given me is from you. For I have given them (V)the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that (W)I came from you; and (X)they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. (Y)I am not praying for the world but for those (Z)whom you have given me, for (AA)they are yours. 10 (AB)All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and (AC)I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but (AD)they are in the world, and (AE)I am coming to you. (AF)Holy Father, (AG)keep them in your name, (AH)which you have given me, (AI)that they may be one, (AJ)even as we are one. 12 (AK)While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have (AL)guarded them, and (AM)not one of them has been lost except (AN)the son of destruction, (AO)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now (AP)I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have (AQ)my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 (AR)I have given them your word, and (AS)the world has hated them (AT)because they are not of the world, (AU)just as I am not of the world. 15 I (AV)do not ask that you (AW)take them out of the world, but that you (AX)keep them from (AY)the evil one.[a] 16 (AZ)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (BA)Sanctify them[b] in the truth; (BB)your word is truth. 18 (BC)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And (BD)for their sake (BE)I consecrate myself,[c] that they also (BF)may be sanctified[d] in truth.

20 “I do not (BG)ask for these only, but also for those (BH)who will believe in me through their word, 21 (BI)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that (BJ)they also may be in (BK)us, so that the world (BL)may believe that you have sent me. 22 (BM)The glory that you have given me (BN)I have given to them, (BO)that they may be one even as we are one, 23 (BP)I in them and you in me, (BQ)that they may become perfectly one, (BR)so that the world may know that you sent me and (BS)loved them even as (BT)you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be (BU)with me (BV)where I am, (BW)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me (BX)before the foundation of the world. 25 (BY)O righteous Father, even though (BZ)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 (CA)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love (CB)with which you have loved me may be in them, and (CC)I in them.”
