John 17:1 - 18:9

17:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son
that the Son may glorify you,
2 since you have given him authority over all flesh,
to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.
5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you
before the world existed.
6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world.
Yours they were,
and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you.
8 For I have given them the words
that you gave me,
and they have received them and have come to know in truth
that I came from you;
and they have believed
that you sent me.
9 I am praying for them.
I am not praying for the world
but for those whom you have given me,
for they are yours.
10 All mine are yours,
and yours are mine,
and I am glorified in them.
11 And I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me,
that they may be one, even as we are one.
12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me.
I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I am coming to you,
and these things I speak in the world,
that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word,
and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.
15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world,
so I have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21 that they may all be one,
just as you, Father, are in me,
and I in you,
that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 The glory that 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 become perfectly one,
so 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, may
be with me
where I am,
to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father,
even though the world does not know you,
I know you,
and these know
that you have sent me.
26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known,
that the love with which you have loved me
may be in them,
and I
in them."
18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words,
he went out with his disciples
across the brook Kidron,
where there was a garden,
which he and his disciples entered.
2 Now Judas,
who betrayed him,
also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3 So Judas,
having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees,
went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him,
came forward
and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I am he.”
Judas,
who betrayed him,
was standing with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,”
they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?”
And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he.
So, if you seek me,
let these men go.”
9 This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”
