Jesus Prays
1 After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up toward heaven and prayed:
Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you. 2 And you gave him power over all people, so he would give eternal life to everyone you give him. 3 Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent. 4 I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, give me back the glory I had with you before the world was created.
6 You have given me some followers from this world, and I have shown them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed you. 7 They know that you gave me everything I have. 8 I told my followers what you told me, and they accepted it. They know I came from you, and they believe you are the one who sent me. 9 I am praying for them, but not for those who belong to this world. My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me.
11 Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who had to be lost. This happened so that what the Scriptures say would come true.
13 I am on my way to you. But I say these things while I am still in the world, so my followers will have the same complete joy that I do. 14 I have told them your message. But the people of this world hate them, because they don't belong to this world, just as I don't.
15 Father, I don't ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one. 16 They don't belong to this world, and neither do I. 17 Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours. 18 I am sending them into the world, just as you sent me. 19 I have given myself completely for their sake, so they may belong completely to the truth.
20 I am not praying just for these followers. I am also praying for everyone else who will have faith because of what my followers will say about me. 21 I want all of them to be one with each other, just as I am one with you and you are one with me. I also want them to be one with us. Then the people of this world will believe that you sent me.
22 I have honored my followers in the same way you honored me, in order that they may be one with each other, just as we are one. 23 I am one with them, and you are one with me, so they may become completely one. Then this world's people will know that you sent me. They will know that you love my followers as much as you love me.
24 Father, I want everyone you have given me to be with me, wherever I am. Then they will see the glory you have given me, because you loved me before the world was created. 25 Good Father, the people of this world don't know you. But I know you, and my followers know that you sent me. 26 I told them what you are like, and I will tell them even more. Then the love you have for me will become part of them, and I will be one with them.
1 Tā Jēzus runāja un, savas acis uz debesīm pacēlis, sacīja: „Tēvs, mana stunda ir nākusi: Apskaidro savu Dēlu, lai Dēls apskaidro tevi.
2 Itin kā tu viņam esi devis varu pār visu miesu, lai viņš visiem, ko tu viņam esi devis, dotu mūžīgo dzīvību.
3 Bet šī ir mūžīgā dzīvība, ka viņi atzīst tevi, vienīgo patieso Dievu, un to, ko tu esi sūtījis, Jēzu Kristu.
4 Es tevi esmu paaugstinājis virs zemes, pabeigdams to darbu, ko darīt tu man esi uzdevis.
5 Un tagad apskaidro tu mani, Tēvs, ar to skaidrību, kas man bija pie tevis, pirms pasaule bija.
6 Es tavu vārdu esmu darījis zināmu cilvēkiem, ko tu man no pasaules esi devis. Tavi tie bija, un man tu viņus devi, un tavus vārdus tie ir turējuši.
7 Tagad viņi ir atzinuši, ka viss, ko tu man esi devis, ir no tevis;
8 Jo tos vārdus, ko tu man devi, es esmu devis viņiem, un viņi tos uzņēmuši un patiesi atzinuši, ka es esmu nācis no tevis, un ticējuši, ka tu mani esi sūtījis.
9 Es lūdzu par viņiem; es nelūdzu par pasauli, bet par tiem, ko tu man esi devis, jo viņi ir tavi.
10 Un viss, kas ir mans, tas ir tavs, un kas ir tavs, ir mans, un es esmu apskaidrots viņos.
11 Es vairs neesmu pasaulē, bet viņi ir pasaulē, un es eimu pie tevis. Svētais Tēvs, uzturi tos savā vārdā, ko tu man esi devis, lai viņi ir viens, itin kā mēs.
12 Kamēr es biju pie viņiem, es tos uzturēju tavā vārdā, ko tu man esi devis, un pasargāju tos, ka neviens nav pazudis kā vien pazušanas dēls, lai raksti piepildītos.
13 Bet tagad es eimu pie tevis; un par to es runāju pasaulē, lai mans prieks viņos būtu pilnīgs.
14 Tavus vārdus es tiem esmu devis, un pasaule viņus ir ienīdusi, tāpēc ka viņi nav no pasaules, tāpat kā es neesmu no pasaules.
15 Es nelūdzu, lai tu viņus paņemtu no pasaules, bet lai tu viņus pasargātu no ļauna.
16 Viņi nav no pasaules, tāpat kā es neesmu no pasaules.
17 Svētī tos patiesībā; tavi vārdi ir patiesība.
18 Tāpat kā tu mani esi sūtījis pasaulē, arī es viņus esmu sūtījis pasaulē.
19 Un viņu labā es pats svētījos nāvē, lai arī viņi būtu patiesībā svētīti.
20 Bet ne par viņiem vien es lūdzu, bet arī par tiem, kas caur viņu vārdiem man ticēs.
21 Lai visi ir viens, itin kā tu, Tēvs, manī, un es tevī, lai arī viņi ir mūsos, lai pasaule ticētu, ka tu mani esi sūtījis.
22 Un to skaidrību, ko tu man esi devis, es esmu devis viņiem, lai viņi ir viens, tāpat kā mēs esam viens:
23 Es viņos un tu manī, ka viņi ir pilnīgi viens, lai pasaulē atzīst, ka tu mani esi sūtījis un viņus esi mīlējis tāpat, kā tu mani esi mīlējis.
24 Tēvs, es gribu, lai kur es esmu, arī tie ir pie manis, ko tu man esi devis, lai viņi redzētu manu skaidrību, ko tu man esi devis, tāpēc ka tu mani esi mīlējis, pirms pasaule bija radīta.
25 Taisnais Tēvs! Pasaule tevi nav atzinusi, bet es tevi esmu atzinis, un šie ir atzinuši, ka tu mani esi sūtījis.
26 Un es viņiem esmu darījis zināmu tavu vārdu un darīšu to zināmu, lai mīlestība, ar ko tu mani esi mīlējis, būtu viņos un arī es būtu viņos.“
