John 17 ©

1 Christ prayeth to his Father to glorify him; 6 and to preserve his apostles in unity of faith, 15 and from all evil; 17 and to sanctify them with the word of truth: 20 and for the perfect union of all believers, and their admission to a share of his glory in heaven.

1

THESE awords spake Jesus, and blifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, cthe hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2

dAs thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should egive eternal life to fas many as thou hast given him.

3

gAnd this is life eternal, hthat they might know thee ithe only true God, and Jesus Christ, jwhom thou hast sent.

4

kI have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5

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

6

nI have manifested thy name unto othe men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and pthey have kept thy word.

7

qNow they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

8

For rI 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

sI pray for them: tI pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for uthey are thine.

u v.6.
10

vAnd all mine are thine, and thine are mine; wand I am glorified in them.

11

xAnd now I am no more in the world, but these are in ythe world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, zkeep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, athat they may be one, bas we are.

12

While I was with them in the world, cI kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but dthe son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13

eAnd now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14

fI have given them thy word; and gthe world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

f v.8,12.
15

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest hkeep them from ithe evil.

16

jThey are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

j v.14.
17

kSanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18

lAs thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

19

mAnd for their sakes I nsanctify myself, that they also might be 1sanctified through the truth.

20

Neither pray I for othese alone, but for pthem also which shall believe on me through their word;

21

That they all qmay be one; ras thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: sthat the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22

And tthe glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23

uI in them, and thou in me, that they may be made vperfect in one; and wthat the world may know that thou hast sent me, and xhast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, ybe with me where I am; zthat they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me abefore the foundation of the world.

25

O righteous Father, the world bhath not known thee: cbut I have known thee, and dthese have known that thou hast sent me.

26

eAnd I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it : that the love wherewith thou hast loved me fmay be in them, and I gin them.
