The
High Priestly Prayer |
|
|
 |
John 17:1
|
|
Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His
eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify
Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, |
|
|
|
John 17:2
|
|
even as You gave Him authority
over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. |
|
|
|
John 17:3
|
|
This is eternal life,
that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. |
|
|
|
John 17:4
|
|
I glorified You on the
earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. |
|
|
|
John 17:5
|
|
Now, Father, glorify Me
together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. |
|
|
|
John 17:6
|
|
"I have manifested Your
name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave
them to Me, and they have kept Your word. |
|
|
|
John 17:7
|
|
Now they have come to
know that everything You have given Me is from You; |
|
|
|
John 17:8
|
|
for the words which You
gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that
I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me. |
|
|
|
John 17:9
|
|
I ask on their behalf;
I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for
they are Yours; |
|
|
|
John 17:10
|
|
and all things that are
Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. |
|
|
|
John 17:11
|
|
I am no longer in the
world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father,
keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one
even as We are. |
|
|
|
John 17:12
|
|
While I was with them,
I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and
not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would
be fulfilled. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
Disciples in the World |
|
|
|
John 17:13
|
|
But now I come to You;
and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in
themselves. |
|
|
|
John 17:14
|
|
I have given them Your
word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as
I am not of the world. |
|
|
|
John 17:15
|
|
I do not ask You to take
them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. |
|
|
|
John 17:16
|
|
They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world. |
|
|
|
John 17:17
|
|
Sanctify them in the truth;
Your word is truth. |
|
|
|
John 17:18
|
|
As You sent Me into the
world, I also have sent them into the world. |
|
|
|
John 17:19
|
|
For their sakes I sanctify
Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. |
|
|
|
John 17:20
|
|
"I do not ask on behalf
of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; |
|
|
|
John 17:21
|
|
that they may all be one;
even 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 sent Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
Their
Future Glory |
|
|
|
John 17:22
|
|
The glory which You have
given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; |
|
|
|
John 17:23
|
|
I in them and You in Me,
that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent
Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. |
|
|
|
John 17:24
|
|
Father, I desire that
they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see
My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the
world. |
|
|
|
John 17:25
|
|
"O righteous Father, although
the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You
sent Me; |
|
|
|
John 17:26
|
|
and I have made Your name
known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me
may be in them, and I in them." |
