1. When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you –
2. just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.
3. Now this is eternal life – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
4. I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
5. And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created.
6. “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.
7. Now they understand that everything you have given me comes from you,
8. because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9. I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.
10. Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.
