John 17 : American Standard Version

1These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to
heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the
son may glorify thee: 2even as thou gavest him authority
over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give
eternal life. 3And this is life eternal, that they
should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send,
even Jesus Christ. 4I glorified thee on the earth,
having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory
which I had with thee before the world was. 6I
manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the
world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have
kept thy word. 7Now they know that all things whatsoever
thou hast given me are from thee: 8for the words which
thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and
knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that
thou didst send me. 9I pray for them: I pray not for the
world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
10and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are
mine: and I am glorified in them. 11And I am no more in
the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they
may be one, even as we are. 12While I was with them, I
kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them,
and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the
scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I come to thee;
and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy
made full in themselves. 14I have given them thy word;
and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as
I am not of the world. 15I pray not that thou shouldest
take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil one. 16They are not of the world even as I am not
of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is
truth. 18As thou didst send me into the world, even so
sent I them into the world. 19And for their sakes I
sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in
truth. 20Neither for these only do I pray, but for them
also that believe on me through their word; 21that they
may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst
send me. 22And the glory which thou hast given me I have
given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that
the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even
as thou lovedst me. 24Father, I desire that they also
whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold
my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world
knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send
me; 26and I made known unto them thy name, and will make
it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them,
and I in them.
