Worsley - John - 17

17:1  When Jesus had spoken these words, He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,---"Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee:

17:2  as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that as to all which Thou hast given Him, He might give them eternal life;

17:3  and this is life eternal, to know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

17:4  I have glorified Thee on earth, I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do:

17:5  and now, O Father, glorify Thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was made.

17:6  I have manifested thy name to the men, whom Thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word.

17:7  They now know that all things whatsoever Thou hast given me, are indeed from Thee;

17:8  for the instructions, which Thou gavest me, I have given to them: and they have received them, and have known of a truth that I came from Thee, and have believed that thou hast sent me.

17:9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom Thou hast given me, for they are thine.

17:10  And all my concerns are thine, and thine are mine: and I am therefore glorified in them.

17:11  And as I am to be no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to Thee, Holy Father, keep by thy name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

17:12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; I have preserved those whom Thou gavest me, and none of them is lost; except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

17:13  But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

17:14  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:15  I do not pray that Thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that thou wouldest 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 by thy truth: thy word is truth.

17:18  As Thou hast sent me into the world, so have I also sent them into the world.

17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.

17:20  Nor do I pray for these only, but for them also that shall believe on me through their word.

17:21  That they all may be one, as Thou, O Father, art in me, and I in Thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one.

17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me.

17:24  Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

17:25  O righteous Father, the world indeed hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent me.

17:26  And I have made known to them thy name, and will farther make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I also in them.
