Lamsa Translation - John Chapter 17
1 ¶
JESUS spoke these things, and then he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, O my Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, so that thy Son may glorify thee,2
Since thou hast given him power over all flesh, so that to all whom thou hast given him, he may give life eternal.3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, that thou art the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Christ.4
I have already glorified thee on the earth; for the work which thou hadst given to me to do, I have finished.5
So now, O my Father, glorify me with thee, with the same glory which I had with thee before the world was made.6 ¶
I have made thy name known to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; they were thine and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.7
Now they know that whatever thou hast given me is from thee.8
For the words which thou gavest me I gave them; and they accepted them, and have known truly that I came forth from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.9
What I request is for them; I make no request for the world, but for those whom thou hast given to me; because they are thine.10
And everything which is mine is thine; and what is thine 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 thee. O holy Father, protect them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are.12
While I was with them in the world, I protected them in thy name; those whom thou gavest 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 thee; and these things I speak while I am in the world, that my joy may be complete in them.14
I have given them thy 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 thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst 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 thy truth, because thy word is truth.18
Just as thou didst send 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.21
So that they all may be one; just as thou, my Father, art with me, and I am with thee, that they also may be one with us; so that the world may believe that thou didst send me.22
And the glory which thou gavest me, I gave to them; so that they may be one just as we are one.23
I with them and thou with me, that they may become perfected in one; so that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that thou didst love them just as thou didst love me.24 ¶
O Father, I wish that those whom thou hast given me may also be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory which thou hast given me; for thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.25
O my righteous Father, the world did not know thee, but I have known thee; and these have known that thou hast sent me.26
And I have made thy name known to them, and I am still making it known, so that the love with which thou hast loved me may be among them, and I be with them.
