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.
