1   These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes17Q0267 and said, Father, ^note the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, ^note 2   that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3   And this is life eternal, to know ^note thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4   I have glorified thee on earth. I have finished the work ^note which thou gavest me to do. 5   And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself, with the glory which I had ^note with thee, before the world was.

6   I have manifested thy name ^note to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou hast given them me, and they have kept thy word. 7   Now they know, that all things ^note whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8   For I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, ^note and have known surely, that I came forth from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me. 9   I pray for them: I pray not for the world, ^note but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10   And all things that are mine are thine, and that are thine are mine; ^note and I am glorified by

them. 11   And I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep thro' thy name ^note them 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 thro' thy name. Those whom thou hast given me I have guarded, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, ^note that the scripture might be fulfilled.17Q0268 13   And now I am coming to thee, and I speak these things in the world, ^note that they may have my joy fulfilled in them. 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. 15   I do not pray, that thou wouldest take them out of the world, ^note but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil one. 16   They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17   Sanctify ^note them thro' the truth: thy word is truth. 18   As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19   And for their sakes I sanctify myself, ^note that they also may be sanctified thro' the truth.

20   Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who will believe ^note on me thro' their word: 21   That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, ^note and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22   And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, ^note that they may be one, as we are one: 23   I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know, that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

24   Father, I will that these also whom thou hast given me, 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. ^note 25   Righteous Father, ^note tho' the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26   And I have declared to them thy name, ^note and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
