约翰福音 17
耶稣临别为门徒祷告
1 耶稣讲完了这些话,就举目望天,说:“父啊,时候到了,求你荣耀你的儿子,让儿子也荣耀你,2 正如你把管理全人类的权柄给了他,使他赐永生给你所赐给他的人。3 认识你是独一的真神,并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生。4 我在地上已经荣耀了你,你交给我要作的工,我已经完成了。5 父啊,现在让我在你自己面前得着荣耀,就是在创世以前我与你同享的荣耀。6 “你从世上分别出来赐给我的人,我已经把你的名显明给他们了。他们是你的,你把他们赐给了我,他们也遵守了你的道。7 现在他们知道,你所给我的,无论是甚么,都是从你那里来的;8 因为你赐给我的话,我已经给了他们,他们也领受了,又确实知道我是从你那里来的,并且信你差了我来。9 我为他们求;我不为世人求,而是为你赐给我的人求,因为他们是你的。10 我的一切都是你的,你的一切也是我的,并且我因着他们得了荣耀。11 我不再在这世上,他们却在这世上,我要到你那里去。圣父啊,求你因你赐给我的名,保守他们,使他们合而为一,好像我们一样。12 我跟他们在一起的时候,因你赐给我的名,我保守了他们,也护卫了他们;他们中间除了那灭亡的人以外,没有一个是灭亡的,这就应验了经上的话。13 现在我到你那里去,我在世上说这些话,是要他们心里充满我的喜乐。14 我把你的道赐给了他们;世人恨他们,因为他们不属于这世界,像我不属于这世界一样。15 我不求你使他们离开世界,只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。16 他们不属于这世界,像我不属于这世界一样。17 求你用真理使他们成圣;你的道就是真理。18 你怎样差我到世上来,我也怎样差他们到世上去。19 我为了他们的缘故,自己分别为圣,使他们也因着真理成圣。
祈求使门徒合而为一20 “我不但为他们求,也为那些因他们的话而信我的人求,21 使他们都合而为一,像父你在我里面,我在你里面一样;使他们也在我们里面,让世人相信你差了我来。22 你赐给我的荣耀,我已经赐给了他们,使他们合而为一,像我们合而为一。23 我在他们里面,你在我里面,使他们完完全全合而为一,让世人知道你差了我来,并且知道你爱他们,好像爱我一样。24 父啊,我在哪里,愿你赐给我的人也和我同在哪里,让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀,因为在创立世界以前,你已经爱我了。25 公义的父啊,世人虽然不认识你,我却认识你,这些人也知道你差了我来。26 我已经把你的名指示他们,还要再指示,使你爱我的爱在他们里面,我也在他们里面。”

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.”
