約翰福音 17

耶穌臨別為門徒禱告

1 耶穌講完了這些話，就舉目望天，說：“父啊，時候到了，求你榮耀你的兒子，讓兒子也榮耀你，2 正如你把管理全人類的權柄給了他，使他賜永生給你所賜給他的人。3 認識你是獨一的真神，並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督，這就是永生。4 我在地上已經榮耀了你，你交給我要作的工，我已經完成了。

5 父啊，現在讓我在你自己面前得著榮耀，就是在創世以前我與你同享的榮耀。
6 “你從世上分別出來賜給我的人，我已經把你的名顯明給他們了。他們是你的，你把他們賜給了我，他們也遵守了你的道。7 現在他們知道，你所給我的，無論是甚麼，都是從你那裡來的；8 因為你賜給我的話，我已經給了他們，他們也領受了，又確實知道我是從你那裡來的，並且信你差了我來。9 我為他們求；我不為世人求，而是為你賜給我的人求，因為他們是你的。10 我的一切都是你的，你的一切也是我的，並且我因著他們得了榮耀。11 我不再在這世上，他們卻在這世上，我要到你那裡去。聖父啊，求你因你賜給我的名，保守他們，使他們合而為一，好像我們一樣。12 我跟他們在一起的時候，因你賜給我的名，我保守了他們，也護衛了他們；他們中間除了那滅亡的人以外，沒有一個是滅亡的，這就應驗了經上的話。13 現在我到你那裡去，我在世上說這些話，是要他們心裡充滿我的喜樂。14 我把你的道賜給了他們；世人恨他們，因為他們不屬於這世界，像我不屬於這世界一樣。15 我不求你使他們離開世界，只求你保守他們脫離那惡者。16 他們不屬於這世界，像我不屬於這世界一樣。17 求你用真理使他們成聖；你的道就是真理。18 你怎樣差我到世上來，我也怎樣差他們到世上去。

19 我為了他們的緣故，自己分別為聖，使他們也因著真理成聖。
祈求使門徒合而為一
20 “我不但為他們求，也為那些因他們的話而信我的人求，21 使他們都合而為一，像父你在我裡面，我在你裡面一樣；使他們也在我們裡面，讓世人相信你差了我來。22 你賜給我的榮耀，我已經賜給了他們，使他們合而為一，像我們合而為一。23 我在他們裡面，你在我裡面，使他們完完全全合而為一，讓世人知道你差了我來，並且知道你愛他們，好像愛我一樣。24 父啊，我在哪裡，願你賜給我的人也和我同在哪裡，讓他們看見你賜給我的榮耀，因為在創立世界以前，你已經愛我了。25 公義的父啊，世人雖然不認識你，我卻認識你，這些人也知道你差了我來。

26 我已經把你的名指示他們，還要再指示，使你愛我的愛在他們裡面，我也在他們裡面。”

1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upwardts to heavent and said, “Father, the timets has come. Glorify your Son, so that yourst Son may glorify you –2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity,t so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.t3 Now thist is eternal lifes – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,t whom you sent.4 I glorified you on earth by completingts the work you gave me to do.t

5 And now, Father, glorify me at your sidet with the glory I had with you before the world was created.ts

Jesus Prays for the Disciples

6 “I have revealedt your name to the ment you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you,t and you gave them to me, and they have obeyedt your word.7 Now they understandt that everythingt you have given me comes from you,8 because I have given them the words you have given me. Theyt acceptedt themt and reallyt understandt that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.9 I am prayingt on behalf of them. I am not prayingt on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.t10 Everythingt I have belongs to you,t and everything you have belongs to me,t and I have been glorified by them.ts11 It am no longer in the world, butt they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safet in your namet that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.t12 When I was with them I kept them safet and watched over themt in your namet that you have given me. Not onet of them was lost except the one destined for destruction,tst so that the scripture could be fulfilled.s13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experiencet my joy completedt in themselves.14 I have given them your word,t and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world,t just as I do not belong to the world.t15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safet from the evil one.t16 They do not belong to the worldt just as I do not belong to the world.t17 Set them apartts in the truth; your word is truth.18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.s

19 And I set myself apartts on their behalf,t so that they too may be truly set apart.t

Jesus Prays for Believers Everywhere

20 “I am not prayingt only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believet in me through their testimony,t21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I prayt that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.22 The gloryt you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one –

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.”
