John 17:2-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2. for You gave Him authorityover all flesh; so He may give eternal life to all You have given Him.

3. This is eternal life:that they may know You, the only true God,and the One You have sent — Jesus Christ.

4. I have glorified You on the earthby completing the work You gave Me to do.

5. Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presencewith that glory I had with Youbefore the world existed.

6. I have revealed Your name to the men You gave Me from the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7. Now they know that all thingsYou have given to Me are from You,

8. because the words that You gave Me, I have given them.They have received themand have known for certainthat I came from You. They have believed that You sent Me.

9. I pray for them.I am not praying for the worldbut for those You have given Me, because they are Yours.

10. Everything I have is Yours,and everything You have is Mine, and I have been glorified in them.

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

12. While I was with them,I was protecting them by Your namethat You have given Me.I guarded them and not one of them is lost,except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13. Now I am coming to You,and I speak these things in the worldso that they may have My joy completed in them.
