1. These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said--`Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,
2. according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that--all that Thou hast given to him--he may give to them life age-during;
3. and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send--Jesus Christ;
4. I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do [it].
5. `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

14. I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;
