17:1 These things spoke Jesus and lifting up the eyes of him to heaven said: Father, has come the hour: glorify of thee the Son that the Son may glorify thee. 2 as thou gavest him authority of all flesh, that all which thou has given him he may give to them life eternal. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know thee the only true God and he whom thou didst send Jesus Christ. 4 I thee glorified on the earth the work finishing which thou hast given to me that I should do; 5 and now glorify me thou, Father with thyself with the glory which I had before the world to be with thee. 6 I manifested of thee the name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world. To thee they were and to me them thou gavest, and the word of thee they have kept. 7 Now they have known that all things as many as thou hast given to me from thee are; 8 because the words which thou gavest to me I have given to them, and they received, and knew truly that from thee I came forth, and they believed that thou me didst send. 9 I concerning them make request; not concerning the world do I make request by

concerning those whom thou hast given to me, because to thee they are 10 and the my things all thine is and the thy things mine, and I have been glorified in them. 11 And no longer am I in the world, and they in the world are, and I to these come. Father holy, keep them in the name of thee which thou has given to me, that they may be one as we. 12 When I was with them, I kept them in the name of thee which thou hast given to me, and I guarded, and not one of them perished except the son perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now to thee I come, and these things I speak in the world that they may have the joy my having been fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given to them the word of thee, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world as I am not of the world. 15 I do not request that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of the evil one. 16 Of the world they are not as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; the word thy truth is. 18 As me thou didst send into the world. I also sent them into the world; 19 and on behalf

of them I sanctify myself that may be also they having been sanctified in truth. 20 Not concerning these but I make request only, but also concerning the ones believing through the word of them in m, 21 that all one may be, as thou Father in me and I in thee, that also they in us may be,that the world may believe that thou me didst send.22 And I the glory which thou has given to me have given to them, that they may be one as we are one; 23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be having been perfected in one, that may know the world that to me didst send and didst love them as me thou did Father what thou hast given to me, I wish that where am I those also may be with me, that they may behold the glory my, which thou hast given to me because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. 25 Father righteous, in deed the world thee knew not, but I thee knew, and these knew that thou me didst send; 26 and I made known to them the name of thee and will make known, that the love with which thou lovedst me in them my be and I in them.st love. 24
