* These things , spake Jesus , and , lifting up his eyes unto heaven , said : Father ! The hour is come ! Glorify thy Son , that , the Son , may glorify , thee , * Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh , that , as touching whatsoever thou hast given him , he might give unto them , life age-abiding . * And , this , is the age-abiding life , That they get to know thee , the only real God , and him whom thou didst send , Jesus Christ . * I , glorified thee on the earth , The work , finishing , which thou hast given me that I should do . * And , now , glorify methou , Father ! with thyself , with the glory which I had , before the worlds existence , with thee . * I manifested thy name , unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world : Thine , they were , and , to me , thou gavest them , and , thy word , have they kept : * Now , have they come to know , That , all things , as many as thou gavest me , are , from thee ; * And , the declarations which thou gavest me , have I given them , and , they , received them , and came to know in truth , that , from thee , came I forth , and they believed , that , thou , didst send me forth . * I , concerning them , make request : not , concerning the world , do I make request , but concerning them whom thou hast given me , because , thine , they are , * And , all my possessions , are , thine , and , thy possessions , mine , and I have been glorified in them . * And , no longer , am I in the world , and , they , are , in the world , and , I , unto thee , am coming . Holy Father ! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me , that they may be one , as , we . * When I was with them , I , kept them in thy name which thou hast given me , And I kept watch , and , none from among them , went the destruction , save the son of destruction , that , the Scripture , might be fulfilled . * But , now , unto thee , am I coming ; and , these things , am I speaking in the world , that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves . * I , have given them thy word , and , the world , hated them , because they are not of the worldeven as , I , am not of the world . * I request not , that thou wouldst take them out of the world , but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil : * Of the world , they are not , even as , I , am not of the world . * Hallow them in the truth : Thine own word , is , truth : * Even as thou didst send me forth into the world , I also , send them forth into the world ; * And , on their behalf , I , hallow myself , that , they also , may have become hallowed in truth . * Not however concerning these alone , do I make request , but , concerning them also who believe , through their word , on me : * That they , all , may be , one , even as , thou , Father , in me , and , I , in thee , that , they also , in us , may be ; that , the world , may believe that , thou , didst send me forth . * And , I , the glory which thou hast given to me , have given to them , that they may be one , even as , we , are , one . * I , in them and , thou , in me ; That they may have been perfected into , one , That the world may get to know , that , thou , didst send me forth , and didst love them even as thou didst love , me . * Father ! As touching that which thou hast given me , I desire That , where , I , am , they also , may be , with me , that they may behold my own glory which thou hast given me , because thou lovedst me , before the foundation of the world . * Righteous Father ! And so , the world , came not to know thee ; but , I , came to know thee , and , these , came to know that , thou , didst send me forth : * And I made known unto them thy name , and will make known , that , the love wherewith thou lovedst me , in them , may be , and , I , in them .
