The Prayer of Jesus
1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

1יהושע said these words, and lifted up His eyes to the heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Esteem Your Son, so that Your Son also might esteem You,
2as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give everlasting life to all whom You have given Him.
3“And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim, and יהושע Messiah whom You have sent.
4“I have esteemed You on the earth, having accomplished the work You have given Me that I should do.
5“And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was.
6“I have revealed 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 guarded Your Word.#See also Psa. 138:2
7“Now they have come to know that all You gave to Me, is from You.
8“Because the Words which You gave to Me, I have given to them. And they have received them, and have truly known that I came forth from You, and they 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.
10“And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been esteemed in them.
11“And I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one,#See John 10:30 as We are.
12“When I was with them in the world, I was guarding them in Your Name which You have given Me, and I watched over them, and not one of them perished except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be filled.
13“And now I come to You. And I speak these words in the world, so that they have My joy completed in them.
14“I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the wicked one.
16“They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17“Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth.#See Psa. 119:142; Psa. 119:151; Psa. 119:160
18“As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.
19“And for them I set Myself apart, so that they too might be set apart in truth.
20“And I do not pray for these alone, but also for those believing in Me through their word,
21so that they all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me.
22“And the esteem which You gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one,
23“I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
24“Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, might be with Me where I am, so that they see My esteem which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25“O righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I knew You, and these knew that You sent Me.
26“And I have made Your Name known to them,#See John 17:6; as well as Psa. 22:22; Heb. 2:12 and shall make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”
