John 17:1-5

The Son’s High Priestly Prayer: Glory, Preservation, Sanctification, Unity, Mission, and Love

Jesus prays first for his own glorification in order to glorify the Father, then for the preservation and sanctification of the disciples given to him, and finally for all future believers to be united, glorified, loved, and brought to behold his glory.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

2For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him.

3Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

4I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do.

5And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
