约翰福音 17
耶稣的祷告
1 耶稣说完后，就抬头望着天说：“父啊！时候到了，愿你使你的儿子得荣耀，好让你的儿子也使你得荣耀。2 因为你把管理世人的权柄赐给了祂，使祂可以将永生赐予你交托给祂的人。3 这永生就是，认识你——独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督。4 我已经完成你交给我的工作，使你在地上得了荣耀。5 父啊，现在让我和你同享创世以前我们所共有的荣耀吧！
6 “你从世上赐给我的人，我已将你t显明给他们。他们本来属于你，你将他们赐给了我，他们遵守你的道。7 如今他们知道，你赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的，8 因为我已经把你赐给我的道赐给他们，他们也接受了，并且确实知道我是从你那里来的，也相信是你差遣了我。
9 “我不为世人祈求，却为他们祈求，就是为你赐给我的那些人祈求，因为他们属于你。10 一切属于我的都是你的，属于你的也是我的，我从他们身上得了荣耀。11 现在我要离开这个世界去你那里了，他们却仍然留在世上。圣父啊，求你为了自己的名，就是你赐给我的名而保守他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。12 我和他们在一起的时候，靠着你赐给我的名保守他们，看顾他们。除了那个注定灭亡的人以外，他们一个也没有灭亡，这是为了应验圣经上的话。
13 “现在我要去你那里了，我趁着还在世上的时候这样说，是要叫他们心里充满我的喜乐。14 我已将你的道赐给他们，世人恨他们，因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。15 我不求你带他们离开这个世界，但求你保守他们脱离那恶者。16 因为他们像我一样不属于这个世界。17 求你用真理，就是你的道，使他们圣洁。18 你怎样差我到世上来，我也照样差他们到世人中间。19 为了他们，我献上自己，使他们借着真理可以圣洁。
20 “我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些因他们的话而信我的人祈求，21 使他们都合而为一，正如父你在我里面，我在你里面一样，并且使他们也在我们里面，好让世人相信是你差我来的。22 我又将你赐给我的荣耀赐给他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。23 我在他们里面，你在我里面，好使他们也完完全全地合而为一。这样，世人便知道我是你差来的，而且知道你爱他们，就像爱我一样。
24 “父啊！我在哪里，愿你赐给我的人也在哪里，好让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀，因为在创世以前你已经爱我了。25 公义的父啊！世界还未认识你以前，我已经认识你了，这些人也知道是你差我来的。26 我使他们认识了你的名，我还要使他们更认识你，好让你对我的爱存在他们里面，我也在他们里面。”

23 I in them and you in me – that they may be completely one,t so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,t so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the worldt.25 Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these ment know that you sent me.
26 I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known,t so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them.”
