John 17:1-5

Lexham English Bible

Jesus Prays to be Glorified

17 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he said, “Father, the hour has come! Glorify your Son, in order that your Son may glorify you— ² just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them—everyone whom you have given him. ³ Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. ⁴ I have glorified you on earth by^[a] completing the work that you have given me to do.^{[b] 5} And now, Father, you glorify me at your side^[c] with the glory that I had at your side^[d] before the world existed.
