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.
Augstā priestera lūgšana
1 To pateicis, Jēzus pacēla acis uz debesīm un sacīja: “Tēvs, tā stunda ir pienākusi, pagodini savu Dēlu, lai Dēls pagodinātu tevi, 2 lai, tāpat kā tu viņam devi varu pār visu miesu, viņš katram, ko tu viņam esi devis, dotu mūžīgo dzīvību. 3 Bet mūžīgā dzīvība ir tā, ka tie pazīst tevi – vienīgo, patieso Dievu un Jēzu Kristu, ko tu esi sūtījis. 4 Es tevi esmu pagodinājis virs zemes, novezdams galā darbu, ko tu man esi devis darīt. 5 Un tagad, Tēvs, pagodini mani pie sevis paša ar to godību, kas man bija pie tevis, pirms pasaule bija. 6 Tavu vārdu es esmu atklājis tiem cilvēkiem, kurus no pasaules tu man devi. Tie bija tavi, un tu devi tos man, un tavus vārdus tie ir turējuši. 7 Tagad viņi ir atzinuši, ka viss, ko tu esi devis man, ir no tevis, 8 ka esmu viņiem devis vārdus, kurus tu devi man. Un viņi ir saņēmuši tos un patiesi atzinuši, ka es esmu izgājis no tevis, un viņi tic, ka tu mani esi sūtījis. 9 Par viņiem es lūdzu, es nelūdzu par pasauli, bet par tiem, kurus tu man esi devis, jo viņi ir tavi. 10 Viss, kas ir mans, ir tavs, un tavs ir mans. Un es tiku pagodināts viņos. 11 Es vairs neesmu pasaulē, bet viņi ir pasaulē. Un es nāku pie tevis. Svētais Tēvs, sargā savā vārdā tos, ko tu man esi devis, lai viņi būtu viens, tāpat kā mēs. 12 Kad es ar viņiem biju pasaulē, es sargāju tavā vārdā tos, ko tu man biji devis, es tos pasargāju, un neviens no viņiem nav pazudis kā vien pazušanas dēls – lai piepildītos Raksti. 13 Bet tagad es eju pie tevis, un šo visu es runāju pasaulē, lai viņiem būtu mans prieks, kas viņos piepildās. 14 Es viņiem esmu devis tavus vārdus, bet pasaule viņus ir ienīdusi, jo viņi nav no pasaules, tāpat kā es neesmu no pasaules. 15 Es nelūdzu, lai tu viņus paņemtu no pasaules, bet lai tu viņus sargātu no ļaunā. 16 Viņi nav no pasaules, tāpat kā es neesmu no pasaules. 17 Dari viņus svētus patiesībā – tavi vārdi ir patiesība. 18 Kā tu mani pasaulē sūtīji, arī es viņus pasaulē sūtīju. 19 Tagad es ziedoju sevi viņu dēļ, lai arī viņi kļūtu svēti patiesībā. 20 Es nelūdzu par viņiem vien, bet arī par tiem, kas tic uz mani caur viņu vārdiem, 21 lai visi būtu viens, itin kā tu, Tēvs, manī un es tevī, tā lai arī viņi būtu mūsos; lai pasaule ticētu, ka tu mani esi sūtījis. 22 Un to godību, ko tu man esi devis, es esmu devis viņiem, lai viņi būtu viens, tāpat kā mēs esam viens. 23 Es viņos un tu manī, lai viņi ir pilnīgi vienībā, lai pasaule atzītu, ka tu esi sūtījis mani un esi viņus mīlējis, tāpat kā mani esi mīlējis. 24 Tēvs! Es gribu, lai tur, kur esmu es, ar mani būtu arī tie, ko tu man esi devis, lai tie redzētu manu godību, ko tu man esi devis, tādēļ ka jau pirms pasaules radīšanas tu mani esi mīlējis. 25 Taisnais Tēvs! Pasaule tevi nav pazinusi, bet es tevi esmu atzinis, un tie ir atzinuši, ka tu mani esi sūtījis. 26 Un es esmu darījis zināmu viņiem tavu vārdu un darīšu to zināmu, lai mīlestība, ar kuru tu mani esi mīlējis, būtu viņos un arī es būtu viņos.”
