The High Priestly Prayer

When Jesus had spoken these things, He araised His eyes to heaven in prayer and said, Father, the 1hour has come. bGlorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You. Just as aYou have given Him power and authority over all mankind, now glorify Him so that bHe may give eternal life 1cto all whom You have given Him to be His—permanently and forever. Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, athe only true supreme and sovereign God, and in the same manner know Jesus as the Christ whom bYou have sent. aI have glorified You down here on the earth bby 1completing the work that You gave Me to do. Now, Father, aglorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had bwith You before the world existed.

aI have manifested Your name and revealed Your very self, Your real self to the people whom bYou have given Me out of the world; they were cYours and You gave them to Me, and they have dkept and obeyed Your word. Now at last they know with confident assurance that all You have given Me is from You it is really and truly Yours. For athe words which You gave Me bI have given them; and they received and accepted them and truly understood with confident assurance that cI came from You from Your presence, and they believed without any doubt that dYou sent Me. aI pray for them; bI do not pray for the world, but for those cYou have given Me, because dthey belong to You; 10 and aall 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 athey are still in the world, and bI am coming to You. cHoly Father, keep them in Your name, the name dwhich You have given Me, so that ethey may be one just as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name awhich You have given Me; and I guarded them and protected them, and bnot one of them was lost except 1cthe son of destruction, so that the dScripture would be fulfilled. Ps 41:9; John 6:70

The Disciples in the World

13 But now aI am coming to You; and bI say these things while I am still in the world so that they may experience My cjoy 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 athe world has hated them because bthey 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 athe evil one. 16 aThey are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 aSanctify them in the truth set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy; Your word is truth. 18 Just as aYou commissioned and sent Me into the world, bI also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world. 19 For their sake 1I asanctify Myself to do Your will, so that they also may be bsanctified set apart, dedicated, made holy cin 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; ajust as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, bso that the world may believe without any doubt that cYou sent Me.

Their Future Glory

22 I have given to them the aglory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 aI 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 bYou sent Me, and that You have cloved them, just as You have loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that athey also, whom You have given to Me as Your gift to Me, bmay be with Me where I am, so that they may see My cglory which You have given Me, because You loved Me before dthe foundation of the world.

25 O ajust and righteous Father, although bthe 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 cYou sent Me; 26 aand I have made Your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that bthe love with which You have loved Me may be in them overwhelming their heart, and I may be in them.
