約翰福音 17
耶穌的禱告
1 耶穌說了這話，就舉目望天，說：「父啊，時候到了，願你榮耀你的兒子，使兒子也榮耀你； 2 正如你曾賜給他權柄管理凡有血氣的，叫他將永生賜給你所賜給他的人。 3 認識你－獨一的真神，並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督，這就是永生。 4 我在地上已經榮耀你，你所託付我的事，我已成全了。 5 父啊，現在求你使我同你享榮耀，就是未有世界以先，我同你所有的榮耀。
6 「你從世上賜給我的人，我已將你的名顯明與他們。他們本是你的，你將他們賜給我，他們也遵守了你的道。 7 如今他們知道，凡你所賜給我的，都是從你那裏來的； 8 因為你所賜給我的道，我已經賜給他們，他們也領受了，又確實知道，我是從你出來的，並且信你差了我來。 9 我為他們祈求，不為世人祈求，卻為你所賜給我的人祈求，因他們本是你的。 10 凡是我的，都是你的；你的也是我的，並且我因他們得了榮耀。 11 從今以後，我不在世上，他們卻在世上；我往你那裏去。聖父啊，求你因你所賜給我的名保守他們，叫他們合而為一像我們一樣。 12 我與他們同在的時候，因你所賜給我的名保守了他們，我也護衛了他們；其中除了那滅亡之子，沒有一個滅亡的，好叫經上的話得應驗。 13 現在我往你那裏去，我還在世上說這話，是叫他們心裏充滿我的喜樂。 14 我已將你的道賜給他們。世界又恨他們；因為他們不屬世界，正如我不屬世界一樣。 15 我不求你叫他們離開世界，只求你保守他們脫離那惡者t。 16 他們不屬世界，正如我不屬世界一樣。 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，我也照樣差他們到世上。 19 我為他們的緣故，自己分別為聖，叫他們也因真理成聖。
20 「我不但為這些人祈求，也為那些因他們的話信我的人祈求， 21 使他們都合而為一。正如你父在我裏面，我在你裏面，使他們也在我們裏面，叫世人可以信你差了我來。 22 你所賜給我的榮耀，我已賜給他們，使他們合而為一，像我們合而為一。 23 我在他們裏面，你在我裏面，使他們完完全全地合而為一，叫世人知道你差了我來，也知道你愛他們如同愛我一樣。 24 父啊，我在哪裏，願你所賜給我的人也同我在那裏，叫他們看見你所賜給我的榮耀；因為創立世界以前，你已經愛我了。 25 公義的父啊，世人未曾認識你，我卻認識你；這些人也知道你差了我來。 26 我已將你的名指示他們，還要指示他們，使你所愛我的愛在他們裏面，我也在他們裏面。」

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.”
