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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 ^aI have glorified You down here on the earth ^bby ¹completing the work that You gave Me to do. 5 Now, Father, ^aglorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had ^bwith You before the world existed.

6 “^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. 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 ^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. 9 ^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

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.

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.”
