Jesus Prays for His Disciples
1 After Jesus finished saying this, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you. 2 For you gave him authority over all people, so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him. 3 And eternal life means to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, whom you sent. 4 I have shown your glory on earth; I have finished the work you gave me to do. 5 Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.
6 “I have made you known to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your word, 7 and now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. 8 I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.
9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine; and my glory is shown through them. 11 And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost—so that the scripture might come true. 13 And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness. 14 I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15 I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One. 16 Just as I do not belong to the world, they do not belong to the world. 17 Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth. 18 I sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world. 19 And for their sake I dedicate myself to you, in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.
20 “I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message. 21 I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me. 22 I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one: 23 I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.
24 “Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made. 25 Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them.”
Jesús ora por sus discípulos
1 Jesús habló de estas cosas, y levantando los ojos al cielo, dijo: «Padre, la hora ha llegado; glorifica a tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te glorifique a ti;
2 como le has dado potestad sobre toda la humanidad, para que dé vida eterna a todos los que le diste.
3 Y esta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien has enviado.
4 Yo te he glorificado en la tierra; he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciera.
5 Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú al lado tuyo, con aquella gloria que tuve contigo antes de que el mundo existiera.
6 »He manifestado tu nombre a aquellos que del mundo me diste; tuyos eran, y tú me los diste, y han obedecido tu palabra.
7 Ahora han comprendido que todas las cosas que me has dado, proceden de ti.
8 Yo les he dado las palabras que me diste, y ellos las recibieron; y han comprendido en verdad que salí de ti, y han creído que tú me enviaste.
9 Yo ruego por ellos. No ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste, porque son tuyos.
10 Y todo lo mío es tuyo, y lo tuyo es mío; y he sido glorificado en ellos.
11 Y ya no estoy en el mundo; pero ellos sí están en el mundo, y yo voy a ti. Padre santo, a los que me has dado, cuídalos en tu nombre, para que sean uno, como nosotros.
12 Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los cuidaba en tu nombre; a los que me diste, yo los cuidé, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición, para que la Escritura se cumpliera.
13 Pero ahora voy a ti; y hablo de esto en el mundo, para que mi gozo se cumpla en ellos mismos.
14 Yo les he dado tu palabra, y el mundo los aborreció porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
15 No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los protejas del mal.
16 Ellos no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
17 Santifícalos en tu verdad; tu palabra es verdad.
18 Tal como tú me enviaste al mundo, así yo los he enviado al mundo.
19 Y por ellos yo me santifico a mí mismo, para que también ellos sean santificados en la verdad.
20 »Pero no ruego solamente por estos, sino también por los que han de creer en mí por la palabra de ellos,
21 para que todos sean uno; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean uno en nosotros; para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste.
22 Yo les he dado la gloria que me diste, para que sean uno, así como nosotros somos uno.
23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en unidad, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado a ellos como también a mí me has amado.
24 »Padre, quiero que donde yo estoy también estén conmigo aquellos que me has dado, para que vean mi gloria, la cual me has dado; porque me has amado desde antes de la fundación del mundo.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, pero yo te he conocido, y estos han reconocido que tú me enviaste.
26 Y les he dado a conocer tu nombre, y aún lo daré a conocer, para que el amor con que me has amado esté en ellos, y yo en ellos.»
