JOHN 17: 1 – 26

New Century Version A Prayer of Jesus

After Jesus said these things,

He looked toward heaven and prayed,

FATHER, THE TIME HAS COME.

1. GIVE GLORY TO YOUR SON

so that the Son can give glory to You.

You gave the Son power over all people

so that the Son could give eternal life to all those You gave Him.

And this is eternal life:

that people know You, the only true God, and

that they know Jesus Christ, the One You sent.

Having finished the work You gave Me to do, I brought You glory on earth.

And now, Father,

give Me glory with You;

give Me the glory I had with You before the world was made.

2. I SHOWED WHAT YOU ARE LIKE TO those You gave Me from the world.

They belonged to You, and

You gave them to Me, and

they have obeyed Your teaching.

Now they know that everything You gave Me comes from You.

I gave them the teachings You gave Me, and

they accepted them. They knew that I truly came from You, and

they believed that You sent Me.

I am praying for them. (*)

for those You gave Me,

because they are Yours.

(I am not praying for people in the world but)

All I have is Yours, and

All You have is mine.

And My glory is shown through them.

3. I AM COMING TO YOU;

I will not stay in the world any longer.

But

they are still in the world.

Holy Father, keep them safe

by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me,

so that they will be one, just as You and I are one.

While I was with them,

I kept them safe by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me.

I protected them, and only one of them, the one worthy of destruction,

was lost

so that the Scripture would come true.

I am coming to You now.

But

I pray these things while I am still in the world

so that these followers can have all of my joy in them.

4. I HAVE GIVEN THEM YOUR TEACHING.

And

the world has hated them, because they don't belong to the world,

just as I don't belong to the world.

5. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD

but to keep them safe from the Evil One.

They don't belong to the world,

just as

I don't belong to the world.

6. MAKE THEM READY FOR YOUR SERVICE

through Your truth;

Your teaching is truth.

I have sent them into the world,

just as You sent Me into the world.

For their sake,

I am making myself ready to serve

so that they can be ready for their service of the truth.

7. I PRAY FOR THESE FOLLOWERS,

but

I am also praying for all those who will believe in Me because of their teaching.

Father, I pray that they can be one.

As You are in Me and

I am in You,

I pray that they can also be one in Us.

Then the world will believe that You sent Me.

I have given these people the glory that You gave Me

so that they can be one, just as You and I are one.

I will be in them and

You will be in Me

so that they will be completely one.

Then the world will know that You sent Me and

that You loved them just as much as You loved Me.

8. FATHER,

I want these people that You gave Me

to be with Me where I am.

I want them to see my glory, which You gave Me

because You loved Me before the world was made.

FATHER,

You are the One who is good.

The world does not know You,

but I know You, and

these people know You sent Me.

I showed them what You are like, and

I will show them again.

Then

they will have the same love that You have for Me, and

I will live in them.

WHEN JESUS FINISHED PRAYING,

He went with His followers across the Kidron Valley. On the other side

there was a garden, and Jesus and His followers went into it.
