Jesus Prays for Himself

¹Jesus 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. ³And ⚓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. ⁵And 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. ⁷Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. ⁸For 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. ¹⁰And 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. ¹²While 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. ¹³But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴I 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. ¹⁵I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but ⚓that You should keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶They 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. ¹⁹And ⚓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. ²²And the ⚓glory which You gave Me I have given them, ⚓that they may be one just as We are one: ²³I 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. ²⁵O 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.”

耶稣的祷告

¹耶稣说了这些话，就举目望天，说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你； ²因为你曾赐给他权柄掌管凡血肉之躯的，使他把永生赐给你所赐给他的人。 ³认识你—独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。 ⁴我在地上已经荣耀你，你交给我做的工作，我已完成了。 ⁵父啊，现在求你使我在你面前得荣耀，就是在未有世界以前，我同你享有的荣耀。
⁶“你从世上赐给我的人，我已把你的名显明给他们。他们本是你的，你把他们赐给我，他们也遵守了你的道。 ⁷现在他们知道，你所赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的； ⁸因为你所赐给我的话，我已经赐给他们，他们也领受了，又确实知道，我是从你出来的，并且信你差了我来。 ⁹我为他们祈求，不为世人祈求，却为你所赐给我的人祈求，因他们本是你的。 ¹⁰凡是我的都是你的，你的也是我的，并且我因他们得了荣耀。 ¹¹我到你那里去；我不再留在世上，他们却在世上。圣父啊，求你因你的名，就是你所赐给我的名，保守他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。 ¹²我与他们同在的时候，我奉你的名，就是你所赐给我的名，保守了他们，我也护卫了他们；其中除了那灭亡之子，没有一个灭亡的，好使经上的话得以应验。 ¹³现在我到你那里去，我在世上说这些话，是要他们心里充满了我的喜乐。 ¹⁴我已把你的道赐给他们；世界恨他们，因为他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。 ¹⁵我不求你把他们从世上接走，只求你保全他们，使他们脱离那恶者。 ¹⁶他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。 ¹⁷求你用真理使他们成圣；你的道就是真理。 ¹⁸你怎样差我到世上，我也照样差他们到世上。 ¹⁹我为他们的缘故使自己分别为圣，为要使他们也因真理成圣。
²⁰“我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些藉着他们的话信我的人祈求， ²¹使他们都合而为一。正如父你在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面，好让世人信是你差我来的。 ²²你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们，使他们合而为一，像我们合而为一。 ²³我在他们里面，你在我里面，使他们完完全全合而为一，让世人知道是你差我来的，也知道你爱他们，如同爱我一样。 ²⁴父啊，我在哪里，愿你所赐给我的人也同我在哪里，使他们看见你所赐给我的荣耀，因为创世以前，你已经爱我了。 ²⁵公义的父啊，世人未曾认识你，我却认识你，这些人也知道是你差我来的。 ²⁶我已让他们认识你的名，还要让他们认识，好让你爱我的爱在他们里面，我也在他们里面。”
