John 17:1-5

1After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory.

2After all, you’ve given him authority over all humanity so that he can give eternal life to all those you gave to him.

3This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

4On earth I have given you glory by finishing the work you gave me to do.

5Now, Father, give me glory in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.
