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.
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.
