The Gospel According to St. John

Geneva Bible :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 17 -

1
These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,
2
As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him.
3
And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.
4
I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.
5
And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.

Prayer for the Disciples

6
I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.
7
Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.
8
For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.
9
I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.
10
And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11
And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are.
12
While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13
And now come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues.
14
I haue giuen them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keepe them from euill.
16
They are not of the worlde, as I am not of the world.
17
Sanctifie them with thy trueth: thy word is trueth.
18
As thou diddest send me into the world, so haue I sent them into the world.
19
And for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also may bee sanctified through the trueth.

Prayer for All Believers

20
I praie not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in mee, through their woorde,
21
That they all may bee one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: euen that they may be also one in vs, that the worlde may beleeue that thou hast sent me.
22
And the glory that thou gauest me, I haue giuen them, that they may be one, as we are one,
23
I in them, and thou in mee, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me.
24
Father, I will that they which thou hast giuen me, be with me euen where I am, that they may beholde that my glorie, which thou hast giuen mee: for thou louedst me before the foundation of the world.
25
O righteous Father, the worlde also hath not knowen thee, but I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.
26
And I haue declared vnto the thy Name, and will declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them.
1
Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
2
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4
I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5
Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

Prayer for the Disciples

6
“I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
7
Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
8
for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
9
I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10
All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11
I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13
But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
14
I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15
I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17
Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth. (a)
18
As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Prayer for All Believers

20
“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
21
that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22
The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
23
I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
24
Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25
Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
26
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.”
