John 17 Amplified Bible (AMP) 17 When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. ...Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify ...Your Son, [so that] Your Son .....May Glorify and Extol .....and..... HONOR and .....Magnify...... You. 2 [Just as] You have granted Him power and Authority over [ALL] Flesh & (All Humankind), [now Glorify Him]... [so that].... [He].. may give Eternal Life to ALL Whom You have given Him. 3 And this is Eternal Life: [it means] to KNOW... (To Perceive, Pecognize, BE-COME Acquainted with, and Understand)... [You], the only TRUE and Real God,... and [Likewise] to Know [Him, Jesus] [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent. 4 I have... Glorified ...You down here on the Earth... by Completing [the work]... that You gave Me.... to do. 5 And now, Father, Glorify Me... along with Yourself ...and RESTORE... [Me].. to such Majesty and Honor in Your Presence.... [AS I]... had with You ...before the World Existed. 6 I have MANIFESTED Your NAME... [I have Revealed Your very Self, Your Real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. ....They were Yours, ...and You gave them to Me, .....and they have Obeyed... and ....KEPT..... Your ...WORD. 7 Now ....[At Last].. ...They Know and Understand,... that [ALL] .....You have given Me ...belongs to You ...[IS Really and Truly Yours]. 8 For the [Uttered] Words that You gave Me,... I have given them; .....and they have Received ..and ..Accepted ..[THEM],...and Have Come to Know Positively and.. ..IN Reality... [To BELIEVE with Absolute Assurance]... that I came forth from Your Presence,... and they have Believed and are Convinced ......that You did ...Send Me. 9 I am Praying for them. I am not Praying (Requesting) for the World, but for those You have given Me, for they Belong to You. 10 [All]... [things that are] [Mine are Yours], and [ALL]... [things that are] ....[Yours] belong to...[Me]; ...and [I AM]... glorified in (through) them.....[They have done Me honor];... in them ...[My GLORY]...[ is achieved.] 11 And [now] I AM... no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and, [I AM] coming to You. Holy Father,...[KEEP] in Your NAME & [IN] [The Knowledge of Yourself] [THOSE WHOM]...You have given Me, [that they may] [be] ONE as We [are one]. 12 While I was with them, [I Kept and Preserved Them].. in ...[Your Name]... in..[The Knowledge and WORSHIP of You]. ..Those You have Given Me......[ I Guarded and Protected], and not one of them has Perished or is Lost except the son of Perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now Doomed to Destruction, Destined to be Lost], that the Scripture might be Fulfilled. 13 And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am Still in the World, [so that]My joy may be made FULL... and [Complete and PERFECT]... in them ...[That they may Experience]... My Delight... [Fulfilled in Them], ..that [My Enjoyment may be... Perfected in their own Souls],..that They may have... My Gladness within them, Filling their Hearts]. 14 I have Given and Delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them,..... because they are not of the World.... [do not belong to the world], ..[JUST AS] I AM not of the World. 15 I do not Ask that You will take them out of the World, but that.... You will Keep....and Protect them from the ..............EVIL ONE. 16 They are not of the World (Worldly, Belonging to the World), [JUST AS]... I AM....... Not of the........ World. 17 Sanctify..... them.... [Purify, Consecrate, Separate them for Yourself], [MAKE them HOLY]........... by the Truth; ................Your Word is TRUTH. 18 [JUST AS].... You sent Me into the World,.... I also have Sent them into the World. 19 And so for their sake,.. and on their behalf, I Sanctify (Dedicate, Consecrate) Myself, That They [ALSO].. may be Sanctified (Dedicated, Consecrated, MADE HOLY) in the Truth. 20 Neither for these alone do I pray..... [it is... not.. for their sake only ..that I make this request], ...but also.. for [ALL]... those who will ever come to... Believe in ...(TRUST in, Cling to, Rely on) ....[Me]... through their ...[Word and Teaching], 21 That They [ALL].. May Be ONE, [JUST AS]... You, Father, ARE IN....[Me and I IN YOU], ....that they also.... may BE ONE... IN US,.... [SO THAT]... the World may Believe and Be ...Convinced.... that You have sent Me. 22 I have given to them... the GLORY and HONOR which You have given Me,...[That they may.......... [BE ONE]..... [EVEN AS]..... We are ONE. 23 I... in Them.... and You in Me,...[IN ORDER THAT]..... They may Become ONE.......and...Perfectly UNITED... That the World... may [KNOW] and [Definitely] Recognize that You sent Me and that You have LOVED them [EVEN AS] You have Loved Me. 24 Father, [I DESIRE]... that they also... Whom You have Entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] May BE with Me where I am, [So That] they may SEE.... My GLORY, which You have given Me [Your Love Gift to Me];... for You Loved Me before the Foundation of the World. 25 O just and righteous Father, although the World has not known You and has failed to Recognize You and has NEVER Acknowledged You, ...I have Known You [Continually]; and these Men Understand and Know that You ......have sent Me. 26 I have...MADE... Your Name Known to Them and REVEALED Your Character and Your Very Self, and I WILL... Continue [To MAKE] [You] Known, That The LOVE which You have Bestowed....[Upon Me].... may be ....[IN THEM] [Felt in their Hearts] and that ......I [Myself] .......MAY BE IN THEM !.
