New Living TranslationEnglish Standard Version
1After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,
2 For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.3And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4 I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
6 “I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word.6“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7 Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you,7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.
8 for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
9 “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10 All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory.10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
12 During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold.12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 “Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy.13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.14I 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.
15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do.16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.18As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me.25O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”26I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
