John 17

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O 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 have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have 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 am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, 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 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

約翰福音 17

耶穌說了這話，就舉目望天說：「父啊，時候到了，願你榮耀你的兒子，使兒子也榮耀你！ 2 正如你曾賜給他權柄管理凡有血氣的，叫他將永生賜給你所賜給他的人。 3 認識你獨一的真神，並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督，這就是永生。 4 我在地上已經榮耀你，你所託付我的事，我已成全了。 5 父啊，現在求你使我同你享榮耀，就是未有世界以先我同你所有的榮耀。 6 你從世上賜給我的人，我已將你的名顯明於他們。他們本是你的，你將他們賜給我，他們也遵守了你的道。 7 如今他們知道，凡你所賜給我的，都是從你那裡來的。 8 因為你所賜給我的道，我已經賜給他們；他們也領受了，又確實知道我是從你出來的，並且信你差了我來。 9 我為他們祈求；不為世人祈求，卻為你所賜給我的人祈求，因他們本是你的。 10 凡是我的都是你的，你的也是我的，並且我因他們得了榮耀。 11 從今以後，我不在世上，他們卻在世上，我往你那裡去。聖父啊，求你因你所賜給我的名保守他們，叫他們合而為一，像我們一樣。 12 我與他們同在的時候，因你所賜給我的名保守了他們，我也護衛了他們，其中除了那滅亡之子，沒有一個滅亡的，好叫經上的話得應驗。 13 現在我往你那裡去，我還在世上說這話，是叫他們心裡充滿我的喜樂。 14 我已將你的道賜給他們，世界又恨他們，因為他們不屬世界，正如我不屬世界一樣。 15 我不求你叫他們離開世界，只求你保守他們脫離那惡者。 16 他們不屬世界，正如我不屬世界一樣。 17 求你用真理使他們成聖，你的道就是真理。 18 你怎樣差我到世上，我也照樣差他們到世上。 19 我為他們的緣故，自己分別為聖，叫他們也因真理成聖。

20 「我不但為這些人祈求，也為那些因他們的話信我的人祈求， 21 使他們都合而為一；正如你父在我裡面，我在你裡面，使他們也在我們裡面，叫世人可以信你差了我來。 22 你所賜給我的榮耀，我已賜給他們，使他們合而為一，像我們合而為一。 23 我在他們裡面，你在我裡面，使他們完完全全地合而為一，叫世人知道你差了我來，也知道你愛他們如同愛我一樣。 24 父啊，我在哪裡，願你所賜給我的人也同我在哪裡，叫他們看見你所賜給我的榮耀，因為創立世界以前，你已經愛我了。 25 公義的父啊，世人未曾認識你，我卻認識你，這些人也知道你差了我來。 26 我已將你的名指示他們，還要指示他們，使你所愛我的愛在他們裡面，我也在他們裡面。」
