[1]These spake Jeshu; and, uplifting his eyes to heaven, he said, My Father, the hour hath come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him he should give the life which is eternal.
[3]But this is the life which is eternal, that they know thee, who art the true Aloha,ⓘ and Him whom thou hast sent, Jeshu Meshicha.
[4]I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou didst give me to do, I have finished it.
[5]And now glorify thou me, my Father, with thyself, in that glory which I had with thee before the world was.
[6]I have made known thy name unto the sons of man; those whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and to me didst thou give them; and they have kept thy word.
[7]Now have they known that whatsoever thou hast given me is from thee.
[8]And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me.
[9]And for them I pray; not for the world I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, because they are thine.
[10]And every thing of mine is thine, and thine is mine, and I am glorified in them.
[11]Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through thy name, that [name] which thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we are.
[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them through thy name: those whom thou gavest me I have kept, and a man of them is not lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.
[13]BUT now I come to thee, and these [things] I speak in the world, that they may have my joy completed in themselves.
[14]I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
[15]Not that thou wouldest take them out of the world do I pray, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil;
[16]For they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17]Father, sanctify them through thy truth; for thy word is truth.
[18]As me thou hast sent into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
[19]And for their sakes I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated for the truth.
[20]Nor for these do I pray only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;
[21]That they all may be one, as thou, my Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also in us one may be; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
[22]And the glory which thou hast given me have I given unto them, 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 that thou hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.
[24]Father, those whom thou hast given I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see that glory of mine, which thou hast given to me; for thou lovedst me before the foundations of the world.
[25]My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
[26]And I have made known unto them thy name, and I make it known that the love itself, wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I may be in them.
