Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(A) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(B) I have brought you glory(C) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(D) And now, Father, glorify me(E) in your presence with the glory I had with you(F) before the world began.(G)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

“I have revealed you[a](H) to those whom you gave me(I) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me(J) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(K) and they believed that you sent me.(L) I pray for them.(M) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(N) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(O) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(P) and I am coming to you.(Q) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[b] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(R) as we are one.(S) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost(T) except the one doomed to destruction(U) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(V)
