John 17:1-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. When Jesus spoke these words, He lifted His eyes toward heaven and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You.

2. As You have given Him authority over all flesh, He will give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.

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

4. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work You have given Me to do.

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

6. “I have revealed Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
