John 17 – shortcode

Glorify the Son
  1. Jesus said these things, and having lifted up His eyes to heaven He said: “Father, the hour has come.  Glorify your Son so that the Son might glorify you.
  2. “Just as you gave Him authority over all flesh, so He might give the life of ages to all them whom you have given to Him.
  3. “And this is the life of ages: that they might know you – the only true God – and He whom you sent: Jesus the Anointed.
  4. “I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work that you have given to Me, so that I might do it.
  5. “And now you, Father, glorify Me with yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
  6. “I revealed 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.
  7. “Now they *know that all things – as many as you have given Me – are of you,
  8. “because the words that you gave to Me, I have given to them.  And they received them and truly knew that I came out from you, and they believed that you sent Me.
  9. “I ask concerning them.  I don’t ask concerning the world, but concerning those whom you have given to Me, because they are yours.
  10. “And all things that are Mine are yours, and your things are Mine, and I have been glorified in them.
Unity
  1. “And I’m in the world no longer, and yet they are in the world, and I am going to you.  Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to Me so that they might be one just as We are one.
  2. “When I was with them, I was keeping them in your name, which you have given to Me.  And I guarded them, and none of them perished except the son of ruin, so the scripture might be fulfilled.fnquotation/allusion to Psalm 41:9
  3. “But now I’m going to you, and I say these things in the world so they might have My joy which has been completed in themselves.
  4. “I have given them your word, and the world hated them because they aren’t of the world, just as I’m not of the world.
  5. “I don’t ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.fn“the evil one” or simply “evil”; either sense could be intended. However, for simply “evil”, a neuter construction is more likely, whereas these are masculine words here. This implies that “the evil one” is intended, but the implication isn’t certain.
  6. “They aren’t of the world, just as I’m not of the world.
  7. “Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.fnquotation/allusion to Psalm 119:160
  8. “Just as you sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.
  9. “And I make Myself holy for their sake, so they also might be *made holy in truth.
  10. “And I ask not only for these men, but also for the men believing in Me through their word,
  11. “so that all might be one, just as you, Father, are in Me and I in you, so that also they might be in Us, so that the world might believe that you sent Me.
  12. “And the glory that you have given to Me, I have given to them so that they might be one, just as We are one.”
  13. “I in them and you in Me, so that they might have been perfected into one, so that the world might know that you sent Me and ^loved them just as you ^loved Me.
  14. “Father, I desire that where I am, those whom you have given to Me might also be with Me, so that they might observe My glory which you have given to Me because you ^loved Me before the foundation of the world.
  15. “Righteous Father, even though the world didn’t know you, yet I knew you, and these men knew that you sent Me.
  16. “And I made your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the ^love with which you ^loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”
