Jn
17:1-11a
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the
hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that
your son may glorify you,
just as you gave him authority over all people, so that
your son may give eternal life to all you gave
him. Now this is eternal life, that they should
know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent,
Jesus Christ. I glorified you on earth by
accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. Now
glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had
with you before the world began.
“I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of
the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them
to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know
that everything you gave me is from you, because the
words you gave to me I have given to them, and they
accepted them and truly understood that I came from you,
and they have believed that you sent me. I pray
for them.
I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have
given me, because they are yours, and everything of mine
is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have
been glorified in them. And now I will no longer
be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am
coming to you.
