¹ These words spake Jesus,

and lifted up his eyes to heaven,

and said,

Father, the hour is come;

glorify thy Son,

that thy Son also may glorify thee:

² As thou hast given him power over all flesh,

that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

³ And this is life eternal,

that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,

whom thou hast sent.

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth:

I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

⁵ And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁶ I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:

thine they were,

and thou gavest them me;

and they have kept thy word.

⁷ Now they have known

that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

⁸ For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;

and they have received them,

and have known surely

that I came out from thee,

and they have believed

that thou didst send me.

⁹ I pray for them:

I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me;

for they are thine.

¹⁰ And all mine are thine,

and thine are mine;

and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ And now I am no more in the world,

but these are in the world,

and I come to thee.

Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me,

that they may be one,

as we are.

¹² While I was with them in the world,

I kept them in thy name:

those that thou gavest me I have kept,

and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;

that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³ And now come I to thee;

and these things I speak in the world,

that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵ I pray not

that thou shouldest take them out of the world,

but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

¹⁶ They are not of the world,

even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ Sanctify them through thy truth:

thy word is truth.

¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world,

even so have I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself,

that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

²⁰ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

²¹ That they all may be one;

as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,

that they also may be one in us:

that the world may believe

that thou hast sent me.

²² And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;

that they may be one,

even as we are one:

²³ I in them, and thou in me,

that they may be made perfect in one;

and that the world may know

that thou hast sent me,

and hast loved them,

as thou hast loved me.

²⁴ Father, I will

that they also, {whom thou hast given me}, 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.

²⁵ O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee:

but I have known thee,

and these have known

that thou hast sent me.

²⁶ And I have declared unto them thy name,

and will declare it:

that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
