Joh 17 | ESV | STEP | 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 ,

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^ahe lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ^bthe hour has come; ^cglorify your Son that the Son may ^dglorify you, 2 since ^eyou have given him authority over all flesh, ^fto give eternal life to all ^gwhom you have given him. 3 ^hAnd this is eternal life, ⁱthat they know you, ^jthe only ^ktrue God, and ^lJesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I ^mglorified you on earth, ⁿhaving accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, ^oglorify me in your own presence with the glory ^pthat I had with you ^qbefore the world existed.

6 ^r“I have manifested your name to the people ^swhom you gave me out of the world. ^tYours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything ^uthat you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them ^vthe words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ^wI came from you; and ^xthey have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. ^yI am not praying for the world but for those ^zwhom you have given me, for ^aathey are yours. 10 ^abAll mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ^acI am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but ^adthey are in the world, and ^aeI am coming to you. ^afHoly Father, ^agkeep them in your name, ^ahwhich you have given me, ^aithat they may be one, ^ajeven as we are one. 12 ^akWhile I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ^alguarded them, and ^amnot one of them has been lost except ^anthe son of destruction, ^aothat the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now ^apI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ^aqmy joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 ^arI have given them your word, and ^asthe world has hated them ^atbecause they are not of the world, ^aujust as I am not of the world. 15 I ^avdo not ask that you ^awtake them out of the world, but that you ^axkeep them from ^aythe evil one. ^{▼▼Or from evil} 16 ^baThey are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 ^bbSanctify them ^{▼▼Greek Set them apart (for holy service to God)} in the truth; ^bdyour word is truth. 18 ^beAs you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And ^bffor their sake ^bgI consecrate myself, ^{▼▼Or I sanctify myself; or I set myself apart (for holy service to God)} that they also ^bimay be sanctified ^{▼▼Greek may be set apart (for holy service to God)} in truth.

20 “I do not ^bkask for these only, but also for those ^blwho will believe in me through their word, 21 ^bmthat they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^bnthey also may be in ^bous, so that the world ^bpmay believe that you have sent me. 22 ^bqThe glory that you have given me ^brI have given to them, ^bsthat they may be one even as we are one, 23 ^btI in them and you in me, ^buthat they may become perfectly one, ^bvso that the world may know that you sent me and ^bwloved them even as ^bxyou loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^bywith me ^bzwhere I am, ^cato see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^cbbefore the foundation of the world. 25 ^ccO righteous Father, even though ^cdthe world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 ^ceI made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love ^cfwith which you have loved me may be in them, and ^cgI in them.”
