LITV - John - 17

17:1  Jesus spoke these things and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You,

17:2  as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that to all which You gave to Him, He may give to them everlasting life.

17:3  And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

17:4  I have glorified You on the earth. I finished the work that You gave Me to do.

17:5  And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the existence of the world.

17:6  I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your Word.

17:7  Now they have known that all things, whatever You gave to Me, are from You.

17:8  For the words which You gave to Me, I have given to them. And they received and truly knew that I came out from beside You, and they believed that You sent Me.

17:9  I pray concerning them; I do not pray concerning the world, but for those whom You gave to Me, for they are Yours.

17:10  And all My things are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

17:11  And no longer I am in the world, yet these are in the world; and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, those whom You gave to 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; I guarded those whom You gave to Me, and not one of them was lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

17:13  And now I come to You, and I speak these things in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in them.

17:14  I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17:15  I do not pray that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from evil.

17:16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:17  Sanctify them in Your truth; Your Word is truth.

17:18  As You have sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world,

17:19  and I sanctify Myself for them, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

17:20  And I do not pray concerning these only, but also concerning those who will believe in Me through their word;

17:21  that all may be one, as You are in Me, Father, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

17:22  And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, as We are one:

17:23  I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them, even as You loved Me.

17:24  Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, that where I am, they may be with Me also, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

17:25  Righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I knew You; and these have known that You sent Me.

17:26  And 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.
