Ján 17

1 Keď to Ježiš povedal, pozdvihol oči k nebu a hovoril: „Otče, nadišla hodina: Osláv svojho Syna, aby Syn oslávil teba,2 tak, ako si mu dal moc nad každým telom, aby všetko, čo si dal ty jemu, im darovalo večný život.3 A večný život je v tom, aby poznali teba, jediného pravého Boha, a toho, ktorého si poslal, Ježiša Krista.4 Ja som ťa oslávil na zemi: dokončil som dielo, ktoré si mi dal vykonať.5 A teraz ty, Otče, osláv mňa pri sebe slávou, ktorú som mal u teba skôr, ako bol svet.6 Zjavil som tvoje meno ľuďom, ktorých si mi dal zo sveta. Tvoji boli a dal si ich mne a oni zachovali tvoje slovo.7 Teraz poznali, že všetko, čo si mi dal, je od teba,8 lebo slová, ktoré si ty dal mne, ja som dal im. A oni ich prijali a naozaj spoznali, že som vyšiel od teba, a uverili, že si ma ty poslal.9 Za nich prosím. Neprosím za svet, ale za tých, ktorých si mi dal, lebo sú tvoji.10 A všetko, čo je moje, je tvoje, a čo je tvoje, je moje. A v nich som oslávený.11 Už nie som vo svete, ale oni sú vo svete a ja idem k tebe. Svätý Otče, zachovaj ich vo svojom mene, ktoré si ty dal mne, aby boli jedno ako my.12 Kým som bol s nimi, ja som ich zachovával v tvojom mene, ktoré si mi dal. Ochránil som ich a nikto z nich sa nestratil, iba syn zatratenia, aby sa splnilo Písmo.13 Ale teraz idem k tebe a toto hovorím na svete, aby mali v sebe moju radosť - a úplnú.14 Dal som im tvoje slovo a svet ich znenávidel, lebo nie sú zo sveta, ako ani ja nie som zo sveta.15 Neprosím, aby si ich vzal zo sveta, ale aby si ich ochránil pred Zlým.16 Nie sú zo sveta, ako ani ja nie som zo sveta.17 Posväť ich pravdou; tvoje slovo je pravda.18 Ako si ty mňa poslal na svet, aj ja som ich poslal do sveta19 a pre nich sa ja sám posväcujem, aby boli aj oni posvätení v pravde.20 No neprosím len za nich, ale aj za tých, čo skrze ich slovo uveria vo mňa,21 aby všetci boli jedno ako ty, Otče, vo mne a ja v tebe, aby aj oni boli v nás jedno, aby svet uveril, že si ma ty poslal.22 A slávu, ktorú si ty dal mne, ja som dal im, aby boli jedno, ako sme my jedno -23 ja v nich a ty vo mne. Nech sú tak dokonale jedno, aby svet spoznal, že si ma ty poslal a že ich miluješ tak, ako miluješ mňa.24 Otče, chcem, aby aj tí, ktorých si mi dal, boli so mnou tam, kde som ja, aby videli moju slávu, ktorú si mi dal, lebo si ma miloval pred stvorením sveta.25 Spravodlivý Otče, svet ťa nepozná, ale ja ťa poznám. I oni spoznali, že si ma ty poslal.26 Ohlásil som im tvoje meno a ešte ohlásim, aby láska, ktorou ma miluješ, bola v nich a aby som v nich bol ja.“

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.
