| # Chapter 17
#### 1 | Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, 'Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
#### 2 | even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.
#### 3 | This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
#### 4 | I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
#### 5 | Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
#### 6 | I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
#### 7 | Now they know that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
#### 8 | for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they believed that you sent me.
#### 9 | I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
#### 10 | All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
#### 11 | I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
#### 12 | While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
#### 13 | But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
#### 14 | I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
#### 15 | I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
#### 16 | They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
#### 17 | Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
#### 18 | As you sent me into the world, even so I sent them into the world.
#### 19 | For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
#### 20 | Neither for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,
#### 21 | that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
#### 22 | The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
#### 23 | I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
#### 24 | Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
#### 25 | Righteous Father, the world didn't know you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
#### 26 | I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.'
