KJ3 Literal Translation
John 17
1 Christ prays to his Father. 20 to give them glory, and all other believers with Him in heaven.
1Jesus spoke these things and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You,
2Even as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that to all which You gave to Him, He may give to them everlasting life.
3And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One whom You sent.
4I have glorified You on the earth. finishing the work that You have given to Me, that I should do.
5And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was to be.
6I revealed Your name to the men whom You have given to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You have given them to Me; and they have kept Your Word.
7Now they have known that all things, as many as You have given to Me, are from You.
8For the words which You have given to Me, I have given to them. And they received and truly knew that I came out from beside You, and they believed that You sent Me.
9I ask concerning them; I do not ask concerning the world, but concerning the ones whom You have given to Me, because they are Yours.
10And all My things are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
11And no longer am I in the world, yet these are in the world; and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the ones whom You have given to Me, that they may be one even as We are.
12While I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Your name; I guarded the ones whom You have given to Me, and no one of them has been lost, if not the son of eternal destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13And now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world, that they may have My joy having been fulfilled in them.
14I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil.
16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17Sanctify them in Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.
18As You have sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world,
19and I sanctify Myself on behalf of them, that they also may be sanctified in Truth.
20And I do not ask concerning these only, but also concerning the ones who will believe into Me through their word;
21that all may be one, as You are in Me, Father, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, as We are one:
23I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that You sent Me and You loved them, just as You loved Me.
24Father, I desire that the ones whom You have given Me, that where I am, those also may be with Me, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25Righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.
26And I made known to them Your name, and will make it known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
