Sunday's Scripture
John 17:1-11
1 After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven
and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the
Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all
people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And
this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth by
finishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify
me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.
6 “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me
from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and
they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you
have given me is from you; 8 for the words that you gave to me I
have given to them, and they have received them and know in
truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent
me. 9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the
world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they
are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have
been glorified in them. 11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
