17 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.

And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified *thee* on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

and now glorify *me*, *thou* Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.

Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.

11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;

19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.

20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

21 that they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;

23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

24 Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world.

25 Righteous Father,—and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast 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。」

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.”
