The High Priestly Prayer
17 Jesus spoke these things; and (A)raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; (B)glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You, 2 just as (C)You gave Him authority over all [a]mankind, so that [b](D)to all whom You have given Him, (E)He may give eternal life. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, (F)the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom (G)You have sent. 4 (H)I glorified You on the earth [c](I)by accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now You, Father, (J)glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had (K)with You before the world existed.
6 “(L)I have revealed Your name to the men whom (M)You gave Me out of the world; they were (N)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have (O)followed Your word. 7 Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; 8 for (P)the words which You gave Me (Q)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that (R)I came forth from You, and they believed that (S)You sent Me. 9 (T)I ask on their behalf; (U)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom (V)You have given Me, because (W)they are Yours; 10 and (X)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet (Y)they themselves are in the world, and (Z)I am coming to You. (AA)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name (AB)which You have given Me, so that (AC)they may be one just as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, (AD)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and (AE)not one of them perished except (AF)the [d]son of destruction, so that the (AG)Scripture would be fulfilled.
The Disciples in the World
13 But now (AH)I am coming to You; and (AI)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My (AJ)joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and (AK)the world has hated them because (AL)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from [e](AM)the evil one. 16 (AN)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (AO)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as (AP)You sent Me into the world, (AQ)I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I (AR)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be (AS)sanctified (AT)in truth.
20 “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; (AU)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, (AV)so that the world may [f]believe that (AW)You sent Me.
Disciples’ Future Glory
22 The (AX)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 (AY)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [g]in unity, so that the world may [h]know that (AZ)You sent Me, and You (BA)loved them, just as You loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that (BB)they also, whom You have given Me, (BC)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My (BD)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before (BE)the foundation of the world.
25 “(BF)Righteous Father, [i]although (BG)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that (BH)You sent Me; 26 and (BI)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that (BJ)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

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) 2 For you granted him authority over all people(D) that he might give eternal life(E) to all those you have given him.(F) 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(G) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(H) 4 I have brought you glory(I) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(J) 5 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
6 “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. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 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) 9 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.”

The High Priestly Prayer
17 When Jesus had spoken these things, He raised His eyes to heaven [in prayer] and said, “Father, the [a]hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You. 2 Just as You have given Him power and authority over all mankind, [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life [b]to all whom You have given Him [to be His—permanently and forever]. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true [supreme and sovereign] God, and [in the same manner know] Jesus [as the] Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You [down here] on the earth by [c]completing the work that You gave Me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.
6 “I have manifested Your name [and revealed Your very self, Your real self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept and obeyed Your word. 7 Now [at last] they know [with confident assurance] that all You have given Me is from You [it is really and truly Yours]. 8 For the words which You gave Me I have given them; and they received and accepted them and truly understood [with confident assurance] that I came from You [from Your presence], and they believed [without any doubt] that You sent Me. 9 I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those You have given Me, because they belong to You; 10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and [all things that are] Yours are Mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world; yet they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and protected them, and not one of them was lost except [d]the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.(A)
The Disciples in the World
13 But now I am coming to You; and I say these things [while I am still] in the world so that they may experience My joy made full and complete and perfect within them [filling their hearts with My delight]. 14 I have given to them Your word [the message You gave Me]; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world and do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world and do not belong to it. 15 I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but that You keep them and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth. 18 Just as You commissioned and sent Me into the world, I also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world. 19 For their sake [e]I sanctify Myself [to do Your will], so that they also may be sanctified [set apart, dedicated, made holy] in [Your] truth.
20 “I do not pray for these alone [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for [all] those who [will ever] believe and trust in Me through their message, 21 that they all may be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe [without any doubt] that You sent Me.
Their Future Glory
22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected and completed into one, so that the world may know [without any doubt] that You sent Me, and [that You] have loved them, just as You have loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given to Me [as Your gift to Me], may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25 “O just and righteous Father, although the world has not known You and has never acknowledged You [and the revelation of Your mercy], yet I have always known You; and these [believers] know [without any doubt] that You sent Me; 26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them [overwhelming their heart], and I [may be] in them.”
Footnotes
- John 17:1 I.e. the time of Jesus’ death.
- John 17:2 A reference to election or predestination. Also see John 6:39; 17:6, 9, 24; Acts 13:48; Rom 8:29-33; Eph 1:3-6; 2 Thess 2:13; 1 Pet 1:2.
- John 17:4 Much of Jesus’ discourse and prayer in John 13-17 is reminiscent of God’s comparison of rain and snow to His word in Is 55:10, 11. Like God’s word, Jesus, who was introduced by John as the Word (John 1:1), comes from God (John 16:28; 17:8), accomplishes God’s desire (John 14:10; 17:4, 8) and then returns to God (John 13:33; 14:4; 17:13).The themes of joy and peace found in Isaiah 55:12 also resonate throughout John 13-17; joy (John 15:11; 16:20-24; 17:13) and peace (John 14:27; 16:33). Isaiah 55; 56 has many points of connection with John’s Gospel as a whole, most notably the invitations to quench thirst (Is 55:1; John 4:13, 14; 7:37) and receive bread (Is 55:2; John 6:26-35, 48-51). Other points of connection between Is 55; 56 and John include the tie between listening and living, appeals to witnesses, calls to obedience, the idea of a special window of God’s nearness, and the inclusion of the Gentiles in salvation.
- John 17:12 Hebrew idiom for one destined to perish. The betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot was foretold in Ps 41:9; cf John 13:18.
- John 17:19 Jesus’ sacrificial death allows Christians to be truly sanctified—set apart for God’s purpose.

A oração de Jesus pelos seus discípulos
17 Jesus falou essas coisas e, levantando os olhos ao céu, disse: Pai, é chegada a hora; glorifica a teu Filho, para que também o teu Filho te glorifique a ti, 2 assim como lhe deste poder sobre toda carne, para que dê a vida eterna a todos quantos lhe deste. 3 E a vida eterna é esta: que conheçam a ti só por único Deus verdadeiro e a Jesus Cristo, a quem enviaste. 4 Eu glorifiquei-te na terra, tendo consumado a obra que me deste a fazer. 5 E, agora, glorifica-me tu, ó Pai, junto de ti mesmo, com aquela glória que tinha contigo antes que o mundo existisse. 6 Manifestei o teu nome aos homens que do mundo me deste; eram teus, e tu mos deste, e guardaram a tua palavra. 7 Agora, já têm conhecido que tudo quanto me deste provém de ti, 8 porque lhes dei as palavras que me deste; e eles as receberam, e têm verdadeiramente conhecido que saí de ti, e creram que me enviaste. 9 Eu rogo por eles; não rogo pelo mundo, mas por aqueles que me deste, porque são teus. 10 E todas as minhas coisas são tuas, e as tuas coisas são minhas; e nisso sou glorificado. 11 E eu já não estou mais no mundo; mas eles estão no mundo, e eu vou para ti. Pai santo, guarda em teu nome aqueles que me deste, para que sejam um, assim como nós. 12 Estando eu com eles no mundo, guardava-os em teu nome. Tenho guardado aqueles que tu me deste, e nenhum deles se perdeu, senão o filho da perdição, para que a Escritura se cumprisse. 13 Mas, agora, vou para ti e digo isto no mundo, para que tenham a minha alegria completa em si mesmos. 14 Dei-lhes a tua palavra, e o mundo os odiou, porque não são do mundo, assim como eu não sou do mundo. 15 Não peço que os tires do mundo, mas que os livres do mal. 16 Não são do mundo, como eu do mundo não sou. 17 Santifica-os na verdade; a tua palavra é a verdade. 18 Assim como tu me enviaste ao mundo, também eu os enviei ao mundo. 19 E por eles me santifico a mim mesmo, para que também eles sejam santificados na verdade. 20 Eu não rogo somente por estes, mas também por aqueles que, pela sua palavra, hão de crer em mim; 21 para que todos sejam um, como tu, ó Pai, o és em mim, e eu, em ti; que também eles sejam um em nós, para que o mundo creia que tu me enviaste. 22 E eu dei-lhes a glória que a mim me deste, para que sejam um, como nós somos um. 23 Eu neles, e tu em mim, para que eles sejam perfeitos em unidade, e para que o mundo conheça que tu me enviaste a mim e que tens amado a eles como me tens amado a mim. 24 Pai, aqueles que me deste quero que, onde eu estiver, também eles estejam comigo, para que vejam a minha glória que me deste; porque tu me hás amado antes da criação do mundo. 25 Pai justo, o mundo não te conheceu; mas eu te conheci, e estes conheceram que tu me enviaste a mim. 26 E eu lhes fiz conhecer o teu nome e lho farei conhecer mais, para que o amor com que me tens amado esteja neles, e eu neles esteja.

Jesus Ora por si mesmo
17 Depois de dizer isso, Jesus olhou para o céu e orou:
“Pai, chegou a hora. Glorifica o teu Filho, para que o teu Filho te glorifique. 2 Pois lhe deste autoridade sobre toda a humanidade[a], para que conceda a vida eterna a todos os que lhe deste. 3 Esta é a vida eterna: que te conheçam, o único Deus verdadeiro, e a Jesus Cristo, a quem enviaste. 4 Eu te glorifiquei na terra, completando a obra que me deste para fazer. 5 E agora, Pai, glorifica-me junto a ti, com a glória que eu tinha contigo antes que o mundo existisse.
Jesus Ora por seus Discípulos
6 “Eu revelei teu nome àqueles que do mundo me deste. Eles eram teus; tu os deste a mim, e eles têm obedecido à tua palavra. 7 Agora eles sabem que tudo o que me deste vem de ti. 8 Pois eu lhes transmiti as palavras que me deste, e eles as aceitaram. Eles reconheceram de fato que vim de ti e creram que me enviaste. 9 Eu rogo por eles. Não estou rogando pelo mundo, mas por aqueles que me deste, pois são teus. 10 Tudo o que tenho é teu, e tudo o que tens é meu. E eu tenho sido glorificado por meio deles. 11 Não ficarei mais no mundo, mas eles ainda estão no mundo, e eu vou para ti. Pai santo, protege-os em teu nome, o nome que me deste, para que sejam um, assim como somos um. 12 Enquanto estava com eles, eu os protegi e os guardei no nome que me deste. Nenhum deles se perdeu, a não ser aquele que estava destinado à perdição[b], para que se cumprisse a Escritura.
13 “Agora vou para ti, mas digo estas coisas enquanto ainda estou no mundo, para que eles tenham a plenitude da minha alegria. 14 Dei-lhes a tua palavra, e o mundo os odiou, pois eles não são do mundo, como eu também não sou. 15 Não rogo que os tires do mundo, mas que os protejas do Maligno. 16 Eles não são do mundo, como eu também não sou. 17 Santifica-os na verdade; a tua palavra é a verdade. 18 Assim como me enviaste ao mundo, eu os enviei ao mundo. 19 Em favor deles eu me santifico, para que também eles sejam santificados pela verdade.
Jesus Ora por Todos os Crentes
20 “Minha oração não é apenas por eles. Rogo também por aqueles que crerão em mim, por meio da mensagem deles, 21 para que todos sejam um, Pai, como tu estás em mim e eu em ti. Que eles também estejam em nós, para que o mundo creia que tu me enviaste. 22 Dei-lhes a glória que me deste, para que eles sejam um, assim como nós somos um: 23 eu neles e tu em mim. Que eles sejam levados à plena unidade, para que o mundo saiba que tu me enviaste, e os amaste como igualmente me amaste.
24 “Pai, quero que os que me deste estejam comigo onde eu estou e vejam a minha glória, a glória que me deste porque me amaste antes da criação do mundo.
25 “Pai justo, embora o mundo não te conheça, eu te conheço, e estes sabem que me enviaste. 26 Eu os fiz conhecer o teu nome, e continuarei a fazê-lo, a fim de que o amor que tens por mim esteja neles, e eu neles esteja”.
