John 17:1–9
1Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said,“Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;↗
2even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.↗
3This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.↗
4I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.↗
5Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.↗
6“I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.↗
7Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,↗
8for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.↗
9I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.↗
