John 17 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The High Priestly Prayer

Jhn 17:1Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
Jhn 17:2even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to [fn]all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
Jhn 17:3“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Jhn 17:4“I glorified You on the earth, [fn]having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
Jhn 17:5“Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Jhn 17:6“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Jhn 17:7“Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
Jhn 17:8for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
Jhn 17:9“I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;
Jhn 17:10and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
Jhn 17:11“I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
Jhn 17:12“While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the [fn]son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

Jhn 17:13“But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
Jhn 17:14“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Jhn 17:15“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them [fn]from [fn]the evil one.
Jhn 17:16“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Jhn 17:17“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
Jhn 17:18“As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
Jhn 17:19“For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
Jhn 17:20“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
Jhn 17:21that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may [fn]believe that You sent Me.

Their Future Glory

Jhn 17:22“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
Jhn 17:23I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [fn]in unity, so that the world may [fn]know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
Jhn 17:24“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
Jhn 17:25“O righteous Father, [fn]although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;
Jhn 17:26and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
