John 17:1-12
"JESUS spoke these things; and lifting up HIS eyes to heaven, HE said,
'FATHER, the hour has come; glorify YOUR SON, that THE SON may glorify YOU,
2 even as YOU gave HIM authority over all flesh, that to all whom YOU have given HIM, HE may give ETERNAL LIFE.
3 This is ETERNAL LIFE, that they may know YOU, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and JESUS CHRIST WHOM YOU have sent.
4 I glorified YOU on the earth, having accomplished the work which YOU have given ME to do.
5 Now, FATHER, glorify ME together with YOURSELF, with the glory which I had with YOU before the world was.
6 “I have manifested YOUR name to the men whom YOU gave ME out of the world; they were YOURS and YOU gave them to ME, and they have kept YOUR word.
7 Now they have come to know that everything YOU have given ME is from YOU;
8 for the words which YOU gave ME I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from YOU, and they believed that YOU sent ME.
9 I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom YOU have given ME; for they are YOURS;
10 and all things that are MINE are YOURS, and YOURS are MINE; and I have been glorified in them.
11 I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. HOLY FATHER, keep them in YOUR name, the name which YOU have given ME, that they may be one even as WE are.
12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in YOUR name which YOU have given ME; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
