* Jesus spoke these words , lifted up His eyes to heaven , and said : "Father , the hour has come . Glorify Your Son , that Your Son also may glorify You , * as You have given Him authority over all flesh , that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him . * And this is eternal life , that they may know You , the only true God , and Jesus Christ whom You have sent . * I have glorified You on the earth . I have finished the work which You have given Me to do . * And now , O Father , glorify Me together with Yourself , with the glory which I had with You before the world was . * "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world . They were Yours , You gave them to Me , and they have kept Your word . * Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You . * For I have given to them the words which You have given Me ; and they have received them , and have known surely that I came forth from You ; and they have believed that You sent Me . * "I pray for them . I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me , for they are Yours . * And all Mine are Yours , and Yours are Mine , and I am glorified in them . * Now I am no longer in the world , but these are in the world , and I come to You . Holy Father , keep through Your name those whom You have given Me , that they may be one as We are . * While I was with them in the world , I kept them in Your name . Those whom You gave Me I have kept ; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition , that the Scripture might be fulfilled . * But now I come to You , and these things I speak in the world , that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves . * I have given them Your word ; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world , just as I am not of the world . * I do not pray that You should take them out of the world , but that You should keep them from the evil one . * They are not of the world , just as I am not of the world . * Sanctify them by Your truth . Your word is truth . * As You sent Me into the world , I also have sent them into the world . * And for their sakes I sanctify Myself , that they also may be sanctified by the truth . * "I do not pray for these alone , but also for those who will believe in Me through their word ;
