Jesus Prays to His Father for Himself

Verses 1 - 5

1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify You;

2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, so He will give eternal life to all whom you have given Him.

3 This is eternal life, that they should know You, the only true God, and Him whom You sent, Jesus Christ.

4 I glorified You on the earth. I have accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

5 Now, Father, glorify Me with Your own self with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

Jesus Prays to His Father for His Disciples

Verses 6 - 12

6 “I revealed Your name to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You have given them to Me. They have kept Your word.

7 Now they have come to know that all things which You have given Me are from You.

8 For the words which You have given Me I have given to them and they have received them and knew for sure that I came from You and they have believed that You have sent me.

9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

10 All things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine and I am glorified in them.

11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them through Your name which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. I have kept those whom You have given Me. I have guarded them and None of them lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 

The Disciples in the World

Verses 13 - 19

13 But now I come to You, and I say these things in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

14 I have given them Your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I pray not that You would take them from the world, but that You would keep them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them in Your truth. Your word is truth.

18 As you sent Me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

19 For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

Verses 20 - 26

20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in Mme through their word,

21 that they may all be one; even as You, 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 The glory which You have given Me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one,

23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them, even as You loved Me.

24 Father, I desire that they also whom You have given Me be with Me where I am, that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that You sent Me.

26 I made known to them Your name, and will make it known; that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
