Juan 17

Oración de Jesús

1  Después de decir todas esas cosas, Jesús miró al cielo y dijo: «Padre, ha llegado la hora. Glorifica a tu Hijo para que él, a su vez, te dé la gloria a ti. 2 Pues le has dado a tu Hijo autoridad sobre todo ser humano. Él da vida eterna a cada uno de los que tú le has dado. 3 Y la manera de tener vida eterna es conocerte a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien tú enviaste a la tierra. 4 Yo te di la gloria aquí en la tierra, al terminar la obra que me encargaste. 5 Ahora, Padre, llévame a la gloria que compartíamos antes de que comenzara el mundo.

6 »Te he dado a conocert a los que me diste de este mundo. Siempre fueron tuyos. Tú me los diste, y ellos han obedecido tu palabra. 7 Ahora saben que todo lo que tengo es un regalo que proviene de ti, 8 porque les he transmitido el mensaje que me diste. Ellos aceptaron el mensaje y saben que provine de ti y han creído que tú me enviaste.

9 »Mi oración no es por el mundo, sino por los que me has dado, porque te pertenecen. 10 Todos los que son míos te pertenecen, y me los has dado, para que me den gloria. 11 Ahora me voy del mundo; ellos se quedan en este mundo, pero yo voy a ti. Padre santo, tú me has dado tu nombre;t ahora protégelos con el poder de tu nombre para que estén unidos como lo estamos nosotros. 12 Durante el tiempo que estuve aquí, los protegí con el poder del nombre que me diste.t Los cuidé para que ni uno solo se perdiera, excepto el que va camino a la destrucción como predijeron las Escrituras.

13 »Ahora voy a ti. Mientras estuve con ellos en este mundo, les dije muchas cosas para que estuvieran llenos de mi alegría. 14 Les he dado tu palabra, y el mundo los odia, porque ellos no pertenecen al mundo, así como yo tampoco pertenezco al mundo. 15 No te pido que los quites del mundo, sino que los protejas del maligno. 16 Al igual que yo, ellos no pertenecen a este mundo. 17 Hazlos santos con tu verdad; enséñales tu palabra, la cual es verdad. 18 Así como tú me enviaste al mundo, yo los envío al mundo. 19 Y me entrego por ellos como un sacrificio santo, para que tu verdad pueda hacerlos santos.

20 »No te pido sólo por estos discípulos, sino también por todos los que creerán en mí por el mensaje de ellos. 21 Te pido que todos sean uno, así como tú y yo somos uno, es decir, como tú estás en mí, Padre, y yo estoy en ti. Y que ellos estén en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste.

22 »Les he dado la gloria que tú me diste, para que sean uno, como nosotros somos uno. 23 Yo estoy en ellos, y tú estás en mí. Que gocen de una unidad tan perfecta que el mundo sepa que tú me enviaste y que los amas tanto como me amas a mí. 24 Padre, quiero que los que me diste estén conmigo donde yo estoy. Entonces podrán ver toda la gloria que me diste, porque me amaste aun antes de que comenzara el mundo.

25 »Oh Padre justo, el mundo no te conoce, pero yo sí te conozco; y estos discípulos saben que tú me enviaste. 26 Yo te he dado a conocer a ellos y seguiré haciéndolo. Entonces tu amor por mí estará en ellos, y yo también estaré en ellos».

JOHN 17

Jesus Prays

1 After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed:
Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you. 2 And you gave him power over all people, so he would give eternal life to everyone you give him. 3 t Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent. 4 I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do.

5 Now, Father, give me back the glory I had with you before the world was created.
6 You have given me some followers from this world, and I have shown them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed you. 7 They know that you gave me everything I have. 8 I told my followers what you told me, and they accepted it. They know I came from you, and they believe you are the one who sent me. 9 I am praying for them, but not for those who belong to this world.t My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them.

10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me.
11 Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one.

12 t While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who had to be lost. This happened so that what the Scriptures say would come true.
13 I am on my way to you. But I say these things while I am still in the world, so my followers will have the same complete joy that I do.

14 I have told them your message. But the people of this world hate them, because they don't belong to this world, just as I don't.
15 Father, I don't ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one. 16 They don't belong to this world, and neither do I. 17 Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours. 18 I am sending them into the world, just as you sent me.

19 I have given myself completely for their sake, so they may belong completely to the truth.
20 I am not praying just for these followers. I am also praying for everyone else who will have faith because of what my followers will say about me.

21 I want all of them to be one with each other, just as I am one with you and you are one with me. I also want them to be one with us. Then the people of this world will believe that you sent me.
22 I have honored my followers in the same way you honored me, in order that they may be one with each other, just as we are one.

23 I am one with them, and you are one with me, so they may become completely one. Then this world's people will know that you sent me. They will know that you love my followers as much as you love me.
24 Father, I want everyone you have given me to be with me, wherever I am. Then they will see the glory you have given me, because you loved me before the world was created. 25 Good Father, the people of this world don't know you. But I know you, and my followers know that you sent me. 26 I told them what you are like, and I will tell them even more. Then the love you have for me will become part of them, and I will be one with them.
