Glorify the Son
- Jesus said these things, and having lifted His eyes to heaven He said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so the Son might glorify you.
- “Just as you gave Him authority over all flesh, so He might give the life of ages to all them who you have given to Him.
- “And this is the life of ages: that they might know you – the only true God – and He who you sent: Jesus the Anointed.
- “I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work that you have given Me, so I might do it.
- “And now Father; glorify Me with yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
- “I revealed your name to the men who you gave Me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to Me, and they have kept your word.
- “Now they have known that all things – as much as you have given Me – are of you,
- “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.
- “I ask concerning them. I don’t ask concerning the world, but concerning who you have given Me, because they are yours.
- “And all My things are yours, and your things Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
Unity
- “And I’m in the world no longer, and 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 they might be one just as we are One.
- “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 scriptures might be fulfilled.
- “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.
- “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.
- “I don’t ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from evil.(1)“evil” could also be translated “the evil one“, since the Greek construction is slightly ambiguous.
- “They aren’t of the world, just as I’m not of the world.
- “Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.
- “Just as you sent Me into the world, I sent them into the world.
- “And I make Myself holy for their sake, so they also might be *made holy in truth.
- “I ask not only for these men, but also for the men who believe in Me through their word,
- “so all might be one; just as you Father are in Me and I in you, so also they might be in Us, so the world might believe that you sent Me.
- “And the glory that you have given me, I have given to them so they might be one, just as We are one.”
- “I in them and you in Me, so they might have been perfected into one, so the world might know that you sent Me and loved them just as you loved Me.
- “Father, I desire that where I am, those who you have given to Me might also be with Me; so they might observe My glory which you have given to Me because you loved Me before the foundation of the world.
- “Righteous Father, even though the world didn’t know you, yet I knew you, and these men knew that you sent Me.
- “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.”
