约翰福音 17

耶稣的祷告

1 耶稣说了这些话，就举目望天，说：“父啊，时候到了，愿你荣耀你的儿子，使儿子也荣耀你； 2 因为你曾赐给他权柄掌管凡血肉之躯的，使他把永生赐给你所赐给他的人。 3 认识你—独一的真神，并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督，这就是永生。 4 我在地上已经荣耀你，你交给我做的工作，我已完成了。 5 父啊，现在求你使我在你面前得荣耀，就是在未有世界以前，我同你享有的荣耀。

6 “你从世上赐给我的人，我已把你的名显明给他们。他们本是你的，你把他们赐给我，他们也遵守了你的道。 7 现在他们知道，你所赐给我的一切都是从你那里来的； 8 因为你所赐给我的话，我已经赐给他们，他们也领受了，又确实知道，我是从你出来的，并且信你差了我来。 9 我为他们祈求，不为世人祈求，却为你所赐给我的人祈求，因他们本是你的。 10 凡是我的都是你的，你的也是我的，并且我因他们得了荣耀。 11 我到你那里去；我不再留在世上，他们却在世上。圣父啊，求你因你的名，就是你所赐给我的名，保守他们，使他们像我们一样合而为一。 12 我与他们同在的时候，我奉你的名，就是你所赐给我的名，保守了他们，我也护卫了他们；其中除了那灭亡之子，没有一个灭亡的，好使经上的话得以应验。 13 现在我到你那里去，我在世上说这些话，是要他们心里充满了我的喜乐。 14 我已把你的道赐给他们；世界恨他们，因为他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。 15 我不求你把他们从世上接走，只求你保全他们，使他们脱离那恶者。 16 他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。 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，我也照样差他们到世上。 19 我为他们的缘故使自己分别为圣，为要使他们也因真理成圣。

20 “我不但为这些人祈求，也为那些藉着他们的话信我的人祈求， 21 使他们都合而为一。正如父你在我里面，我在你里面，使他们也在我们里面，好让世人信是你差我来的。 22 你所赐给我的荣耀，我已赐给他们，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，让世人知道是你差我来的，也知道你爱他们，如同爱我一样。 24 父啊，我在哪里，愿你所赐给我的人也同我在哪里，使他们看见你所赐给我的荣耀，因为创世以前，你已经爱我了。 25 公义的父啊，世人未曾认识你，我却认识你，这些人也知道是你差我来的。 26 我已让他们认识你的名，还要让他们认识，好让你爱我的爱在他们里面，我也在他们里面。”

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.
