John 17

⁹Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

⁴I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

⁵And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

³¹When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

³²If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

²³But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²⁷Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.

²⁸Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

¹³The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

²⁸I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

²⁹My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

³⁹And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

¹⁴And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

³⁷Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

²⁴Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

¹¹And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

¹²Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

²³This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.

²⁴But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth—for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

¹⁷For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

²⁵Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

³So let us know—let us press on to know the Lord. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

³⁴Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

²⁴But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

⁷I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

³¹But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.

³⁰When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

¹⁰If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

²He was with God in the beginning.

¹⁵The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

¹⁶For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

³⁰I and the Father are one.”

²⁰He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.

⁶Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

³The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

²⁶And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

²¹Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

²²Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

²⁴Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

²⁷My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

²⁸I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

³⁷Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

¹⁶“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

¹⁷If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.

¹⁵Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

²⁹My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

³⁰I and the Father are one.”

²⁸So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

¹⁰All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

⁴⁹I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

⁵⁰And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

¹⁴I have given them Your word and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

¹⁵No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.

³⁰Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”

¹³And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is also now at work in you who believe.

²⁷For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

²¹that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

²⁴For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.

²For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

⁶I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

³²But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

¹My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

²He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

³⁰I and the Father are one.”

⁹But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

⁸When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁹And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁰on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.

²¹Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,

²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,

¹⁴He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

¹⁵Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

⁹So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

¹²While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

¹³But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

²⁴For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.

²⁹My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

³⁰I and the Father are one.”

²¹that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

²²I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

⁶Set over him a wicked man; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

⁷When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.

²⁷My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

²⁸I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

⁹This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”

¹⁸I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

¹⁶“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.

¹⁷He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”

³⁷Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.

²Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹¹I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.

²⁹The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.

²²So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

²³In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

⁴We write these things so that our joy may be complete.

¹⁶They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

¹⁸If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.

¹⁹If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

²³Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

⁵They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.

⁶We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

⁷The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.

⁷The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

¹⁸We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

³But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

¹⁰And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez.

⁴who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

¹⁴I have given them Your word and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

¹⁶⁰The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

³You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

²⁶to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

²²Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

²³For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

¹⁹For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

³²Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

²⁰Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

²¹Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

³Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

⁷I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

³⁸I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”

¹⁴He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

¹¹For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

¹⁷Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

⁵Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

⁶In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

²To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

¹⁵All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow, to the glory of God.

⁶I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

⁷Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

⁴¹Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

⁴But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

¹⁸I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

¹⁹by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

¹¹And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

²⁶but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

¹²The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

¹¹Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

¹²Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

¹¹I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

²⁵so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

²⁶If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

²⁷Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

³⁵By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

¹⁸And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

²⁰On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

²⁰built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

¹⁶From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

¹⁸they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

²⁰Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

²¹that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

²⁷For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

¹Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.

¹²No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

¹³By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

³⁵By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

²⁶And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

²⁶If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

⁵And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.

³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.

⁶For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²¹His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

¹³Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”

¹¹I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

²⁹but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

²¹But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

²⁷For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

⁸For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

¹¹No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

⁶I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

²³I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

⁹As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

¹³By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

¹⁴And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

¹²He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

²⁰On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
