John 17
After the upper-room teaching, Jesus stops speaking to the disciples and speaks to the Father. Eyes lifted to heaven, he prays in three movements: for his own glorification (v. 1-5), for the eleven he is leaving behind (v. 6-19), and for all who will later believe through their word (v. 20-26). Notice how often "one" recurs — the unity he asks for mirrors his own oneness with the Father, and the prayer's stated aim is "that the world may believe."
- 1
Jesus 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;
- 2
even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
- 3
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
- 4
I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
- 5
Now, 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.
- 7
Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
- 8
for 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.
- 9
I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
- 10
All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
- 11
I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
- 12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
- 13
But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
- 14
I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
- 15
I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
- 16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
- 17
Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
- 18
As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
- 19
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
- 20
“Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
- 21
that they may all be one; even 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
The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
- 23
I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
- 24
Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
- 25
Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
- 26
I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
- 1
Jesus disse estas coisas e, levantando os olhos ao céu, disse: “Pai, chegou a hora. Glorifica o teu Filho, para que o teu Filho também te glorifique;
- 2
assim como lhe deste autoridade sobre toda a carne, para que ele dê a vida eterna a todos os que lhe deste.
- 3
Esta é a vida eterna: que te conheçam, o único Deus verdadeiro, e àquele a quem enviaste, Jesus Cristo.
- 4
Eu te glorifiquei na terra. Eu concluí a obra que me deste para fazer.
- 5
Agora, Pai, glorifica-me junto a ti mesmo com a glória que eu tinha contigo antes que o mundo existisse.
- 6
“Eu revelei o teu nome às pessoas que me deste do mundo. Eles eram teus, e tu os deste a mim. Eles têm guardado a tua palavra.
- 7
Agora eles sabem que todas as coisas que me deste vêm de ti,
- 8
pois as palavras que me deste eu as dei a eles; e eles as receberam, e souberam com certeza que saí de ti. Eles creram que tu me enviaste.
- 9
Eu oro por eles. Não oro pelo mundo, mas por aqueles que me deste, pois eles são teus.
- 10
Todas as coisas que são minhas são tuas, e as tuas são minhas, e eu sou glorificado neles.
- 11
Eu não estou mais no mundo, mas estes estão no mundo, e eu vou para ti. Pai Santo, guarda-os em teu nome, o qual me deste, para que eles sejam um, assim como nós somos.
- 12
Enquanto eu estava com eles no mundo, eu os guardava em teu nome. Eu guardei aqueles que me deste. Nenhum deles se perdeu, exceto o filho da perdição, para que a Escritura se cumprisse.
- 13
Mas agora eu vou para ti, e digo estas coisas no mundo, para que eles tenham a minha alegria completa em si mesmos.
- 14
Eu lhes dei a tua palavra. O mundo os odiou porque eles não são do mundo, assim como eu não sou do mundo.
- 15
Não oro para que os tires do mundo, mas para que os guardes do maligno.
- 16
Eles não são do mundo, assim como eu não sou do mundo.
- 17
Santifica-os na tua verdade. A tua palavra é a verdade.
- 18
Assim como tu me enviaste ao mundo, eu também os enviei ao mundo.
- 19
Por amor a eles eu me santifico, para que eles mesmos também sejam santificados na verdade.
- 20
“Não oro apenas por estes, mas também por aqueles que crerão em mim por meio da palavra deles,
- 21
para que todos sejam um; assim como tu, Pai, estás em mim, e eu em ti, que eles também sejam um em nós; para que o mundo creia que tu me enviaste.
- 22
A glória que me deste, eu a dei a eles, para que sejam um, assim como nós somos um,
- 23
eu neles, e tu em mim, para que sejam aperfeiçoados em unidade, para que o mundo saiba que tu me enviaste e os amaste, assim como me amaste.
- 24
Pai, eu desejo que aqueles que me deste também estejam comigo onde eu estou, para que vejam a minha glória que me deste, pois tu me amaste antes da fundação do mundo.
- 25
Pai justo, o mundo não te conheceu, mas eu te conheci; e estes conheceram que tu me enviaste.
- 26
Eu lhes fiz conhecer o teu nome, e o farei conhecer; para que o amor com que me amaste esteja neles, e eu neles.”
Kept in the world, not removed from it
Jesus does not ask that the disciples be taken out of the world but kept from the evil one (v. 15). They are sent into it as he was sent (v. 18), set apart by truth — "Your word is truth" (v. 17).
He names the one exception to those he kept: "the son of destruction" (v. 12), the single thread tying this prayer back to Judas in the chapters around it.
