John 17:1-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. After Jesus said these things, he looked toward heaven and prayed, “Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can give glory to you.

2. You gave the Son power over all people so that he could give eternal life to all those you have given to him.

3. And this is eternal life: that people can know you, the only true God, and that they can know Jesus Christ, the one you sent.

4. I finished the work you gave me to do. I brought you glory on earth.

5. And now, Father, give me glory with you. Give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.

6. “You gave me some people from the world. I have shown them what you are like. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your teaching.

7. Now they know that everything I have came from you.
