John 17:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jesus Prays for Himself

17 Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,
the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son
so that the Son^(A) may glorify You,^(B)
²for You gave Him authority
over all flesh;^[a]^(C)
so He may give eternal life^(D)
to all You have given Him.^(E)
³This is eternal life:
that they may know You, the only^(F) true^(G) God,
and the One You have sent^(H)—Jesus Christ.^(I)
⁴I have glorified You on the earth
by completing the work You gave Me to do.
⁵Now, Father,^(J) glorify Me in Your presence
with that glory^(K) I had with You
before the world existed.^(L)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶I have revealed Your name^(M)
to the men You gave Me^(N) from the world.^(O)
They were Yours, You gave them to Me,^(P)
and they have kept Your word.^(Q)
