John 17:1-7

1When Jesus had spoken these things, He raised His eyes to heaven [in prayer] and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You.

2Just as You have given Him power and authority over all mankind, [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him [to be His—permanently and forever].

3Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true [supreme and sovereign] God, and [in the same manner know] Jesus [as the] Christ whom You have sent.

4I have glorified You [down here] on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do.

5Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.

6“I have manifested Your name [and revealed Your very self, Your real self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept and obeyed Your word.

7Now [at last] they know [with confident assurance] that all You have given Me is from You [it is really and truly Yours].
