17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify You. ² For You granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those You have given Him. ³ Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. ⁴ I have brought You glory on earth by finishing the work You gave Me to do. ⁵ And now, Father, glorify Me in your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

⁶ “I have revealed You to those whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed Your word. ⁷ Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You. ⁸ For I gave them the words You gave Me, and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me. ⁹ I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰ All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them. ¹¹ I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
