# John 17 (New King James Version)
Jesus Prays for Himself

##### Chapter 17
###### 1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: **"Father,** **the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,**  
###### 2 **as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He** **should give eternal life to as many** **as You have given Him.**  
###### 3 **And** **this is eternal life, that they may know You,** **the only true God, and Jesus Christ** **whom You have sent.**  
###### 4 **I have glorified You on the earth.** **I have finished the work** **which You have given Me to do.**  
###### 5 **And now, O Father, glorify Me together** **with Yourself, with the glory** **which I had with You before the world was.**Jesus Prays for His Disciples

###### 6 **"I have** **manifested Your name to the men** **whom You have given Me out of the world.** **They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.**  
###### 7 **Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.**  
###### 8 **For I have given to them the words** **which You have given Me; and they have received _them,_** **and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that** **You sent Me.**

###### 9 **"I pray for them.** **I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.**  
###### 10 **And all Mine are Yours, and** **Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.**  
###### 11 **Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father,** **keep** **through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one** **as We _are._**  
###### 12 **While I was with them** **in the world,** **I kept them in** **Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and** **none of them is** **lost** **except the son of** **perdition,** **that the Scripture might be fulfilled.**  
###### 13 **But now I come 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 pray that You should take them out of the world, but** **that You should keep them from the evil one.**  
###### 16 **They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.**  
###### 17 **Sanctify** **them by Your truth.** **Your word is truth.**  
###### 18 **As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.**  
###### 19 **And** **for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.**Jesus Prays for All Believers

###### 20 **"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who** **will believe in Me through their word;**  
###### 21 **that they all may be one, 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 **And the** **glory which You gave Me I have given them,** **that they may be one just as We are one:**  
###### 23 **I in them, and You in Me;** **that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.**

###### 24 **"Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me;** **for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.**  
###### 25 **O righteous Father!** **The world has not known You, but** **I have known You; and** **these have known that You sent Me.**  
###### 26 **And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare _it,_ that the love** **with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."**
