Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ JESUS spoke these things, and then he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, O my Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you. ² Since you have given him power over all flesh, so that to all whom you have given him, he may give life eternal. ³ And this is life eternal, that they might know you, that you are the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Christ. ⁴ I have already glorified you on the earth; for the work which you had given to me to do, I have finished it. ⁵ So now, O my Father, glorify me with you, with the same glory which I had with you before the world was made. ⁶ I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me out of the world; they were yours and you gave them to me; and they have kept thy word. ⁷ Now they know that whatever you have given me is from you. ⁸ For the words which you gave me I gave them; and they accepted them, and have known truly that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me. ⁹ What I request is for them; I make no request for the world, but for those whom you have given to me; because they are yours. ¹⁰ And everything which is mine, is yours; and what is yours is mine; and I am glorified by them. ¹¹ Hereafter I am not in the world, but these are in the world; and I am coming to you. O holy Father, protect them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I protected them in your name; those you gave me I protected, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ Now I am coming to you; and these things I speak while I am in the world, that my joy may be complete in them. ¹⁴ I have given them your word; and the world hated them, because they were not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ What I request is not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should protect them from evil. ¹⁶ For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ O Father, sanctify them in your truth, because your word is truth. ¹⁸ Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes, I am sanctifying myself, so that they also may be sanctified in the truth. ²⁰ I am not making request for these alone, but also for the sake of those who believe in me through their word.
