1After 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.
2And you gave him power over all people, so he would give eternal life to everyone you give him.
3 My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them.
10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me.
11Holy 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.
12Ps 41.9; 2 Esd 2.26; Jn 13.18. 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.
13I 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.
14I 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.
15Father, I don't ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one.
16They don't belong to this world, and neither do I.
17Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours.
18I am sending them into the world, just as you sent me.
19I have given myself completely for their sake, so they may belong completely to the truth.
20I 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.
21I 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.
22I 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.
23I 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.
24Father, 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.
25Good Father, the people of this world don't know you. But I know you, and my followers know that you sent me.
26I 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.
