1 After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes heavenwards,
and said:
“Father, the hour has come; honour
thy Son, that thy Son may honour thee; even
as thou gavest him power over all mankind,
2
that he should give Immortal Life to all those
whom thou hast given him.
3 And the Immortal
Life is this—to know thee the one true
God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent as
thy Messenger.
4 I have honoured thee on
earth by completing the work which thou hast
given me to do;
5 and now do thou honour me,
Father, at thy own side, with the honour which
I had at thy side before the world began.
6 I have revealed thee to those whom thou
gavest me from the world; they were thy
own, and thou gavest them to me; and they
have laid thy Message to heart.
7 They
recognize now that everything that thou
gavest me was from thee;
8 for I have given
them the teaching which thou gavest me, and
they received it, and clearly understood that
I came from thee, and they believed that thou
hast sent me as thy Messenger. ⪆⪆
9 I
intercede for them; I am not interceding for
the world, but for those whom thou hast
given me,
10 for they are thy own—all that
is mine is thine, and all that is thine is mine
—and I am honoured in them.
11 Now I am
to be in this world no longer, but they are
still to be in the world, and I am to come
to thee. Holy Father, keep them by that
revelation of thy Name which thou hast
given me, that they may be one, as we
are. ⪆⪆
12 Whilst I was with them, I
kept them by that revelation, and I have
guarded them; and not one of them has
been lost, except that lost soul—in fulfilment
of Scripture.
13 But now I am to come
-- --
to thee; and I am speaking thus, while
still in the world, that they may have
my own joy, in all its fulness, in their
hearts. ⪆⪆
14 I have given them thy Message;
and the world hated them, because
they do not belong to the world, even as I
do not belong to the world.
15 I do not ask
thee to take them out of the world, but to
keep them from Evil.
16 They do not belong
to the world, even as I do not belong to the
world.
17 Consecrate them by the Truth; thy
Message is Truth.
18 Just as thou hast sent me
as thy Messenger to the world, so I send them
as my Messengers to the world.
19 And it is
for their sakes that I am consecrating myself,
so that they also may be truly consecrated.
20 But it is not only for them that I am interceding,
but also for those who believe in me
through their Message,
21 that they all may be
one—that as thou, Father, art in union with me
and I with thee, so they also may be in union
with us—and so the world may believe that
thou hast sent me as thy Messenger.
22 I have
given them the honour which thou hast given
me,
23 that they may be one as we are one—I in
union with them and thou with me—that so
they may be perfected in their union, and thus
the world may know that thou hast sent me as
thy Messenger, and that thou hast loved them
as thou hast loved me. ⪆⪆
24 Father, my
desire for all those whom thou hast given me is
that they may be with me where I am, so that
they may see the honour which thou hast given
me; for thou didst love me before the beginning
of the world. ⪆⪆
25 O righteous Father,
though the world did not know thee, I knew
thee; and these men knew that thou hast sent
me as thy Messenger.
26 I have made thee
known to them, and will do so still; that the
love that thou hast had for me may be in their
hearts, and that I may be in them also.”
