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.”

耶稣为自己和门徒祈祷

17 耶稣说完这番话后,抬头仰望天空,说道∶“父亲,这个时刻来到了,赐给您儿子荣耀吧,好让您的儿子给您带来荣耀, 就像您给了他统治全人类的权力那样,以便让他把您给他的永恒的生命给予所有的人。 这永恒的生命是:他们知道您派来的耶稣基督和您-唯一的真正的上帝。 在这个世界上,我已经展现了您的荣耀,完成了您交给我的工作。 所以,现在当着您的面,给我荣耀吧-就是在世界存在之前,我和您在一起时的那种荣耀。”

“您赐给了我这世上的一些人,我使他们知晓了您的名字,他们是您的,但是,您却把他们给了我,他们遵守您的教导, 现在他们知道您给我的一切,都是来自于您, 我给了他们您给我的教导,他们接受了它们。他们确实意识到这些教导来自于您,他们相信我是您派来的。 我为他们祈祷,而不为这个世界祈祷,我是为您赐给我的那些人祈祷,因为他们是您的。 10 我的一切,都是您的,您的一切也是我的,通过他们我得到了荣耀, 11 我不再留在这个世界上了,但他们还在,我要到您那里去了。圣父,请用您的名字保护您赐给我的人吧,让他们成为一体,像我们一样。 12 当我和他们在一起时,我用您赐予我的、您的名字来保护着他们,没有一个人迷失,除了那个命中注定要毁灭的人以外。这正应验了《经》上的话。”

13 “现在,我就要到您那里来了,但是,我在这个世上时,说这些是为了让他们心中充满我的快乐。 14 我给了他们您的教导,可这世界却憎恨他们,因为他们和我一样,不属于这个世界。 15 我不是请求您把他们带出这个世界,而是请您保护他们,让他们避开魔鬼。 16 他们和我一样,不属于这个世界。 17 请您用真理使他们献身于您,您的教导就是真理。 18 就像您派我来到这个世上一样,我也把他们派到了这个世上。 19 为了他们,我把自己奉献给您的事业,以便他们通过真理,也把自己真正地奉献给您的事业。”

20 “我不仅为这些人祈祷,也为那些因为接受他们的教导并信仰我的人祈祷, 21 我祈祷:他们全部成为一体。父啊,正如您中有我,我中有您一样,愿他们也在我们之中。愿他们成为一体,以便使全世界相信,我是您派来的。 22 我给了他们荣耀,这荣耀是您给我的,以便让他们像我们一样,可以成为一体。 23 我在他们之中,您在我之中,为了让他们成为完整的一体,让这个世界知道,我是您派来的,而且您爱他们,就像爱我一样。”

24 “父,我到哪里,愿您赐给我的人也到哪里,让他们看到您赐予我的荣耀,因为在创世之前,您就爱我。 25 正义之父啊!这个世界的人不认识您,可是我认识您,这些门徒知道,是您派我来的, 26 我不仅让他们知道了您的名字,我将继续让所有的人知道,以便使您对我的爱可以留在他们中间,使我也留在他们之中。”
