John 17
Geneva Bible 1599
1These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,
2As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him.
3And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.
4I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.
5And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.
6I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.
7Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.
8For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.
10And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are.
12While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
