John 17

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: Father, the hour has come: glorify yourSon so that your Son may glorify you;	1 When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you,
2 so that, just as you have given him power over all humanity, he may give eternal life to al those youhave entrusted to him.	2 just as you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him.
3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.	3 Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4 I have glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.	4 I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with that glory I had with you before ever the world existed.	5 Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.
6 I have revealed your name to those whom you took from the world to give me. They were yours andyou gave them to me, and they have kept your word.	6 "I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
7 Now at last they have recognised that all you have given me comes from you	7 Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
8 for I have given them the teaching you gave to me, and they have indeed accepted it and know forcertain that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me.	8 because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
9 It is for them that I pray. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because theybelong to you.	9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours,
10 All I have is yours and al you have is mine, and in them I am glorified.	10 and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keepthose you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us.	11 And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are.
12 While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over themand not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures.	12 When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to share my joy with them to the full.	13 But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely.
14 I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no morethan I belong to the world.	14 I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
15 I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One.	15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one.
16 They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.	16 They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
17 Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth.	17 Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world,	18 As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
19 and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.	19 And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20 I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching wil come to believe in me.	20 "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21 May they al be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, sothat the world may believe it was you who sent me.	21 so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one.	22 And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one,
23 With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world wil recognise that itwas you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.	23 I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.
24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see myglory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.	24 Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known thatyou have sent me.	25 Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me.
26 I have made your name known to them and wil continue to make it known, so that the love withwhich you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.	26 I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them."
