| John 17 1 These words
        spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,
        Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son
        also may glorify thee:2 As thou hast
        given him power over all flesh, that he should give
        eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
 3 And this is life
        eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and
        Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
 4 I have glorified
        thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou
        gavest me to do.
 5 And now,
        O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
        the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
 6 I have manifested
        thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the
        world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they
        have kept thy word.
 7 Now they have
        known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are
        of thee.
 8 For I have given
        unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have
        received them, and have known surely that I came
        out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst
        send me.
 9 I pray for them:
        I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast
        given me; for they are thine.
 10 And all mine are
        thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
 11 And now I am no
        more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come
        to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those
        whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
 12 While I was with
        them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that
        thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but
        the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
        fulfilled.
 13 And now come I
        to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they
        might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
