John 17
Jesus Prays for Himself
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; even as you gave him authority
over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
This is eternal life,
that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus
Christ. I glorified you
on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
Now, Father, glorify me
with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world
existed.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
"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. Now they have known that all
things whatever you have given me are from you, 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 have believed that you sent me.
I pray for them. I don't
pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are
yours. All things that
are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
I am no more in the
world, but 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. 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 destruction,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to you, and I say
these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in
themselves. 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. I pray not that you would take
them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the
world even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in your truth.
Your word is truth. As
you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
For their sakes I
sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
"Not for these only do I
pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word, 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. The glory which you have given
me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
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. 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. Righteous Father,
the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent
me. 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."
