CHAPTER XVIII.
CHRIST'S PRAYER FOR HIS DISCIPLES.
1 17:1JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, 17:2as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life. 17:3And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 17:4I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. 17:5And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
2 17:6I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. 17:7Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, 17:8because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. 17:9I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, 17:10and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. 17:11And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are. 17:12When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; 17:13but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them.
3 17:14I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17:15I ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil. 17:16They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17:17Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth. 17:18As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world: 17:19and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
4 17:20And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall believe on me through their word, 17:21that all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 17:22And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we are one, 17:23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 17:24Father, what thou hast given me, I will that they should be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; 17:25and, righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou didst send me. 17:26And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, as I also am in them.
CHAPTER XIX.
THE APPREHENSION OF CHRIST, HIS EXAMINATION BY THE JEWS, PETER'S DENIAL OF HIM.
1 18:1JESUS having said these words went out with his disciples across the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered and his disciples. 18:2And Judas who betrayed him knew the place, for Jesus often retired there with his disciples. 18:3Then Judas taking the guard and the officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with torches, and lamps, and weapons. 18:4Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? 18:5They answered him, Jesus the Nazoraean. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas who betrayed him stood with them. 18:6When, therefore, he said to them, I am he, they went backwards and fell on the ground. 18:7Then he asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus, the Nazoraean. 18:8Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if, therefore, you seek me, let these go; 18:9that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom thou gayest me I have lost none. 18:10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear; and the name of the servant was Malchus. 18:11Then Jesus said to Peter, Put the sword in the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
2 18:12Then the guard and the chiliarch and the officers of the Jews apprehended Jesus, and bound him, 18:13and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year; 18:14and Caiaphas was the one who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed for the people.
