NASB Bible

John 17

The High Priestly Prayer

1

Jesus spoke these things; and  alifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come;  bglorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

2

even as  aYou gave Him authority over all flesh, that  bto  1all whom You have given Him,  cHe may give eternal life.

3

"This is eternal life, that they may know You,  athe only true God, and Jesus Christ whom  bYou have sent.

4

aI glorified You on the earth,  1 bhaving accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

5

"Now, Father,  aglorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had  bwith You before the world was.

6

aI have manifested Your name to the men whom  bYou gave Me out of the world; they were  cYours and You gave them to Me, and they have  dkept Your word.

7

"Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

8

for  athe words which You gave Me  bI have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that  cI came forth from You, and they believed that  dYou sent Me.

9

aI ask on their behalf;  bI do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom  cYou have given Me; for  dthey are Yours;

10

and  aall things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11

"I am no longer in the world; and yet  athey themselves are in the world, and  bI come to You.  cHoly Father, keep them in Your name, the name  dwhich You have given Me, that  ethey may be one even as We are.

12

"While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name  awhich You have given Me; and I guarded them and  bnot one of them perished but  cthe  1son of perdition, so that the  dScripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

13

"But now  aI come to You; and  bthese things I speak in the world so that they may have My  cjoy made full in themselves.

14

"I have given them Your word; and  athe world has hated them, because  bthey are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15

"I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them  1from  2 athe evil one.

16

aThey are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17

aSanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18

"As  aYou sent Me into the world,  bI also have sent them into the world.

19

"For their sakes I  asanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be  bsanctified  cin truth.

20

"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;

21

that they may all be one;  aeven as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us,  bso that the world may  1believe that  cYou sent Me.

Their Future Glory

22

"The  aglory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

23

 aI in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected  1in unity, so that the world may  2know that  bYou sent Me, and  cloved them, even as You have loved Me.

24

"Father, I desire that  athey also, whom You have given Me,  bbe with Me where I am, so that they may see My  cglory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before  dthe foundation of the world.

25

"O  arighteous Father,  1although  bthe world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that  cYou sent Me;

26

and  aI have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that  bthe love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
