John Chapter 17 Verse 2‹As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.›

‹These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.›

‹At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:›

‹For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.›

‹I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.›

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

Jesus answered them, ‹Do ye now believe?›

‹Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.›

‹These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.›

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, ‹Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:›

‹And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.›

‹I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.›

‹And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.›

‹I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.›

‹Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.›

‹For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received› [them], ‹and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.›

‹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.›

‹And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.›

‹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we› [are].

‹While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.›
