Jesus Prays for Himself

1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, athe hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,  
2 aas You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He1 should give eternal life to as many bas You have given Him.  
3 And athis is eternal life, that they may know You, bthe only true God, and Jesus Christ cwhom You have sent.  
4 aI have glorified You on the earth. bI have finished the work cwhich You have given Me to do.  
5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together1 with Yourself, with the glory awhich I had with You before the world was.  

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 a“I have1 manifested Your name to the men bwhom You have given Me out of the world. cThey were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.  
7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
8 For I have given to them the words awhich You have given Me; and they have received them, band have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that cYou sent Me.  
9 “I pray for them. aI do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.  
10 And all Mine are Yours, and aYours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.  
11 aNow I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, bkeep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one cas We are.  
12 While I was with them in the world, aI kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and bnone of them is lost cexcept the son of perdition, dthat the Scripture might be fulfilled.  
13 But now I come 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; aand the world has hated them because they are not of the world, bjust as I am not of the world.  
15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but athat You should keep them from the evil one.  
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 aSanctify them by Your truth. bYour word is truth.  
18 aAs You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  
19 And afor their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.  

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who1 will believe in Me through their word;  
21 athat they all may be one, as bYou, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  
22 And the aglory which You gave Me I have given them, bthat they may be one just as We are one:  
23 I in them, and You in Me; athat they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
