4 – I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 – And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 – I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 – Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 – For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 – I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 – And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 – And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 – While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.” (John chapter 17 verses 1 to 12)
