Jesús ora por sus discípulos

17 Jesús habló de estas cosas, y levantando los ojos al cielo, dijo: «Padre, la hora ha llegado; glorifica a tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te glorifique a ti; como le has dado potestad sobre toda la humanidad, para que dé vida eterna a todos los que le diste. Y ésta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien has enviado. Yo te he glorificado en la tierra; he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciera. Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú al lado tuyo, con aquella gloria que tuve contigo antes de que el mundo existiera.

»He manifestado tu nombre a aquellos que del mundo me diste; tuyos eran, y tú me los diste, y han obedecido tu palabra. Ahora han comprendido que todas las cosas que me has dado, proceden de ti. Yo les he dado las palabras que me diste, y ellos las recibieron; y han comprendido en verdad que salí de ti, y han creído que tú me enviaste. Yo ruego por ellos. No ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste, porque son tuyos. 10 Y todo lo mío es tuyo, y lo tuyo es mío; y he sido glorificado en ellos. 11 Y ya no estoy en el mundo; pero ellos sí están en el mundo, y yo voy a ti. Padre santo, a los que me has dado, cuídalos en tu nombre, para que sean uno, como nosotros. 12 Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los cuidaba en tu nombre; a los que me diste, yo los cuidé, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición, para que la Escritura se cumpliera.(A) 13 Pero ahora voy a ti; y hablo de esto en el mundo, para que mi gozo se cumpla en ellos mismos. 14 Yo les he dado tu palabra, y el mundo los aborreció porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo. 15 No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los protejas del mal. 16 Ellos no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo. 17 Santifícalos en tu verdad; tu palabra es verdad. 18 Tal como tú me enviaste al mundo, así yo los he enviado al mundo. 19 Y por ellos yo me santifico a mí mismo, para que también ellos sean santificados en la verdad.

20 »Pero no ruego solamente por éstos, sino también por los que han de creer en mí por la palabra de ellos, 21 para que todos sean uno; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean uno en nosotros; para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste. 22 Yo les he dado la gloria que me diste, para que sean uno, así como nosotros somos uno. 23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en unidad, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado a ellos como también a mí me has amado.

24 »Padre, quiero que donde yo estoy también estén conmigo aquellos que me has dado, para que vean mi gloria, la cual me has dado; porque me has amado desde antes de la fundación del mundo. 25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, pero yo te he conocido, y éstos han reconocido que tú me enviaste. 26 Y les he dado a conocer tu nombre, y aún lo daré a conocer, para que el amor con que me has amado esté en ellos, y yo en ellos.»

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven(A) and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come.(B) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.(C) For you granted him authority over all people(D) that he might give eternal life(E) to all those you have given him.(F) Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(G) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(H) I have brought you glory(I) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(J) And now, Father, glorify me(K) in your presence with the glory I had with you(L) before the world began.(M)

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

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

13 “I am coming to you now,(AC) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(AD) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(AE) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(AF) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(AG) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(AH) 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth.(AI) 18 As you sent me into the world,(AJ) I have sent them into the world.(AK) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(AL)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(AM) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(AN) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(AO) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(AP) that they may be one as we are one(AQ) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(AR) and have loved them(AS) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(AT) to be with me where I am,(AU) and to see my glory,(AV) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(AW)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(AX) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(AY) 26 I have made you[e] known to them,(AZ) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(BA) and that I myself may be in them.”
