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.✝17:17 Psalms 119:142 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 Pärast neid sõnu tõstis Jeesus pilgu taeva poole ja ütles:

„Isa, tund on kätte jõudnud, austa oma Poega, et Poeg võiks austada sind! 2 Sest sa oled andnud talle meelevalla kõigi inimeste üle, et ta annaks igavese elu kõigile, kelle sa oled talle andnud. 3 Igavene elu aga on see, kui nad tunnevad sind, ainsat tõelist Jumalat, ning Jeesust Kristust, kelle sina oled läkitanud. 4 Ma olen austanud sind maa peal, viies lõpule töö, mille sa andsid mulle teha. 5 Nüüd, Isa, austa mind enda juures austusega, mis kuulus mulle enne maailma algust sinu juures!

6 Ma olen näidanud sind inimestele, keda sa oled andnud mulle maailmast. Nad kuulusid sulle, sina andsid nad mulle ja nad on kuulanud su sõna. 7 Nüüd nad teavad, et kõik, mis sina oled andnud minule, tuleb sinult. 8 Sest ma olen andnud neile sõnad, mis sa mulle andsid, ja nad on need vastu võtnud. Nad teadsid kindlalt, et ma tulin sinu juurest, ja nad uskusid, et sina saatsid mu. 9 Nende pärast ma palun. Maailma pärast ma ei palu, küll aga nende pärast, keda sa oled mulle andnud, sest nad kuuluvad sulle. 10 Kõik, kes on minu päralt, on sinu päralt, ja kes on sinu päralt, on minu päralt. Nende kaudu olen ma austatud. 11 Ma ei jää enam kauemaks maailma. Nemad on veel maailmas, aga mina tulen sinu juurde. Püha Isa, hoia neid oma nime väega, selle nime, mis sa mulle andsid, et nad saaksid olla üks nagu mina ja sina oleme üks. 12 Niikaua kui ma olin nendega koos, kaitsesin ja hoidsin ma neid sinu nimes, mis sa mulle andsid. Ükski neist ei läinud kaduma peale ühe, kes läks hukatusse selleks, et Kiri läheks täide.

13 Ma tulen nüüd sinu juurde, aga räägin neid sõnu veel maailmas olles, et minu rõõm neis oleks täielik. 14 Mina olen andnud neile sinu sõna ja maailm on neid vihanud, sest nad ei ole maailmast, nii nagu minagi ei ole maailmast. 15 Ma ei palu, et sa nad maailmast ära võtaksid, vaid et sa hoiaksid neid kurja eest. 16 Nemad ei ole maailmast, nii nagu minagi ei ole maailmast.

17 Pühitse neid tões: sinu sõna on tõde! 18 Nagu sina läkitasid minu maailma, nii olen mina saatnud maailma nemad. 19 Nende pärast pühitsen ma ennast, et nemadki oleksid tõeliselt pühitsetud.

20 Kuid ma ei palu ainult nende, vaid kõikide pärast, kes nende sõnumi läbi hakkavad minusse uskuma, 21 et nad kõik oleksid üks. Nagu sina, Isa, oled minus ja mina olen sinus, nõnda olgu nemadki meis. Et maailm usuks, et sina oled mu läkitanud. 22 Mina olen andnud neile selle au, mille sina andsid mulle, et nad oleksid üks, nagu meiegi oleme üks, 23 mina neis ja sina minus. Nii et nad võiksid saada täiesti üheks. Siis maailm teab, et sina saatsid minu ja oled armastanud neid, nii nagu sa oled armastanud mind.

24 Isa, ma tahan, et ka need, keda sa oled mulle andnud, oleksid minuga seal, kus mina olen, ja näeksid mu au, mille sa oled andnud mulle, sest sa oled mind armastanud enne maailma loomist.

25 Õiglane Isa, kuigi maailm sind ei tunne, tunnen mina sind ja nemad on ära tundnud, et sina oled minu läkitanud. 26 Ma olen neile näidanud sind ja teen seda veelgi, et armastus, millega sa mind oled armastanud, oleks ka nendes ja mina oleksin nendes."
