* When Jesus had thus spoken , he lifted up his eyes to heaven , and said , Father ! the hour is come ; glorify thy Son , that the Son may glorify thee ; * according as thou gavest him authority over all flesh , that he should give everlasting life to all whom thou hast given him . * And this is the everlasting life , to know thee , the only true God , and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send . * I have glorified thee on the earth , having finished the work which thou gavest me to do ; * and now , Father ! do thou glorify me with thyself , with the glory which I had with thee before the world was . * I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world . Thine they were , and thou gavest them to me ; and they have kept thy word . * Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee ; * for I have given to them the words which thou hast given me ; and they received them , and knew surely that I came forth from thee , and believed that thou didst send me . * I pray for them ; I pray not for the world , but for those whom thou hast given me ; for they are thine ; * and all things that are mine are thine , and thine are mine ; and I am glorified in them . * And I am no longer in the world ; and they are in the world , and I come to thee . Holy Father ! keep them in thy name which thou hast given me , that they may be one , even as we are . * While I was with them , I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me , and guarded them ; and no one of them is lost except the son of perdition , that the Scripture may be fulfilled . * But now I come to thee ; and these things I speak in the world , that they may have my joy made full in them . * I have given them thy word ; and the world hath hated them , because they are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * I do not pray thee to take them out of the world , but to keep them from evil . * They are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * Sanctify them in thy truth ; thy word is truth . * As thou didst send me into the world , I also sent them into the world . * And in their behalf I sanctify myself , that they also may be sanctified in the truth . * Yet not for these alone do I pray , but also for those who believe in me through their word ; * that they all may be one ; as thou , Father , art in me and I in thee , that they also may be in us , that the world may believe that thou didst send me . * And the glory which thou hast given me , I have given them , that they may be one , even as we are one ; * I in them , and thou in me , that they may be made perfect in one , that the world may know that thou hast sent me , and hast loved them , as thou hast loved me . * Father ! as to that which thou hast given me , I desire that they also be with me where I am , that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me ; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world . * Righteous Father ! and yet the world knew thee not ! but I knew thee , and these knew that thou didst send me . * And I made known to them thy name , and will make it known ; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them , and I in them .
