The Gospel of
John Chapter 17
(Today's
English King James)
17:1
These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify
your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
17:2
As you have given him power over all flesh, that he
should give eternal life to as many as you have given
him.
17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know you the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
17:4
I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the
work which you gave me to do.
17:5
And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self
with the glory which I had with you before the world
was.
17:6
I have manifested your name to the men which you gave
me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave
them me; and they have kept your word.
17:7
Now they have known that all things whatever you have
given me are of you.
17:8
For I have given to them the words which you gave me;
and they have received them, and have known surely
that I came out from you, and they have believed that
you did send me.
17:9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for
them which you have given me; for they are yours.
17:10
And all mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
17:11
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in
the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep
through your own name those whom you have given me,
that they may be one, as we are.
17:12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in
your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that
the scripture might be fulfilled.
17:13
And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the
world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves.
17:14
I have given them your word; and the world has hated
them, because they are not of the world, even as I am
not of the world.
17:15
I pray not that you should take them out of the world,
but that you should keep them from the evil.
17:16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world.
17:17
Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
17:18
As you have sent me into the world, even so have I
also sent them into the world.
17:19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also
might be sanctified through the truth.
17:20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also
which shall believe on me through their word;
17:21
That they all may be one; 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 have sent me.
17:22
And the glory which you gave me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one:
17:23
I in them, and you in me, that 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.
17:24
Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me,
be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory,
which you have given me: for you loved me before the
foundation of the world.
17:25
O righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I
have known you, and these have known that you have
sent me.
17:26
And I have declared to them your name, and will
declare it: that the love with which you have loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
