Juan 17
La Palabra (España)
Plegaria de Jesús por los suyos
17 Después de decir todo esto, Jesús levantó los ojos al cielo y exclamó:
— Padre, ha llegado la hora. Glorifica a tu Hijo, para que tu Hijo te glorifique a ti. 2 Tú le has dado autoridad sobre todas las criaturas; que él dé ahora vida eterna a todos los que tú le has confiado. 3 Y la vida eterna consiste en que te reconozcan a ti como único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo como tu enviado.
4 Yo he manifestado tu gloria aquí, en este mundo, llevando a cabo la obra que me encomendaste. 5 Ahora, pues, Padre, hónrame en tu presencia con aquella gloria que ya compartía contigo antes que el mundo existiera.
6 Te he dado a conocer a quienes me confiaste sacándolos del mundo. Eran tuyos; tú me los confiaste, y han obedecido tu mensaje. 7 Ahora han comprendido que todo lo que me confiaste es tuyo; 8 yo les he entregado la enseñanza que tú me entregaste y la han recibido. Saben, además, con absoluta certeza que yo he venido de ti y han creído que fuiste tú quien me enviaste.
9 Yo te ruego por ellos. No te ruego por los del mundo, sino por los que tú me confiaste, ya que son tuyos. 10 Todo lo mío es tuyo y todo lo tuyo es mío, y en ellos resplandece mi gloria. 11 Desde ahora, ya no estaré en el mundo; pero ellos se quedan en el mundo, mientras que yo voy a ti. Protege con tu poder, Padre santo, a los que me has confiado, para que vivan unidos, como vivimos unidos nosotros.
12 Mientras estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo mismo cuidaba con tu poder a los que me confiaste. Los guardé de tal manera, que ninguno de ellos se ha perdido, fuera del que tenía que perderse en cumplimiento de la Escritura. 13 Ahora voy a ti y digo estas cosas mientras todavía estoy en el mundo para que ellos puedan compartir plenamente mi alegría.
14 Yo les he confiado tu mensaje, pero el mundo los odia, porque no son del mundo, como yo tampoco soy del mundo. 15 No te pido que los saques del mundo, sino que los libres del mal. 16 Como yo no pertenezco al mundo, tampoco ellos pertenecen al mundo. 17 Haz que se consagren a ti por medio de la verdad; tu mensaje es la verdad.
18 Yo los he enviado al mundo, como tú me enviaste a mí. 19 Por ellos yo me consagro para que también ellos sean consagrados por medio de la verdad.
20 Y no te ruego sólo por ellos; te ruego también por todos los que han de creer en mí por medio de su mensaje. 21 Te pido que todos vivan unidos. Como tú, Padre, estás en mí y yo en ti, que también ellos estén en nosotros. De este modo el mundo creerá que tú me has enviado.
22 Yo les he comunicado la gloria con que tú me has glorificado, de manera que sean uno, como lo somos nosotros. 23 Como tú vives en mí, vivo yo en ellos para que alcancen la unión perfecta y así el mundo reconozca que tú me has enviado y que los amas a ellos como me amas a mí. 24 Es mi deseo, Padre, que todos estos que tú me has confiado estén conmigo y contemplen mi gloria, la que me diste antes de que el mundo existiese.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido; pero yo te conozco, y todos estos han llegado a conocer que tú me has enviado. 26 Les he dado a conocer quién eres, y continuaré dándoselo a conocer, para que el amor que tú me tienes se manifieste en ellos y yo mismo viva en ellos.

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, 2 since (E)you have given him authority over all flesh, (F)to give eternal life to all (G)whom you have given him. 3 (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. 4 I (M)glorified you on earth, (N)having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, (O)glorify me in your own presence with the glory (P)that I had with you (Q)before the world existed.
6 (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. 7 Now they know that everything (U)that you have given me is from you. 8 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. 9 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.”

Jesus Prays for His Disciples
17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee, 2 since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4 I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do; 5 and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made.
6 “I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee; 8 for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; 10 all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20 “I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me. 26 I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
