Isusova molitva
1Pošto je Isus sve to rekao, pogleda prema nebu i nastavi:
“Oče, došao je čas! Proslavi svojeg Sina da on može proslaviti tebe. 2Jer ti si mu dao vlast nad svim ljudima na zemlji. On daje vječni život svakomu koga si mu ti dao. 3A vječni život jest spoznati tebe, jedinoga, istinitoga Boga, i Isusa Krista, koga si ti poslao. 4Pronio sam tvoju slavu ovdje na zemlji čineći sve što si mi rekao da učinim. 5A sada ti mene, Oče, proslavi slavom koju sam dijelio s tobom prije postanka svijeta.
Molitva za učenice
6Ovim sam ljudima rekao sve o tebi. Bili su u svijetu, ali ti si mi ih dao. Zapravo su oduvijek i bili tvoji, ali dao si ih meni i poslušali su tvoje riječi. 7Sad su spoznali da je sve što imam od tebe 8jer sam im prenio riječi koje si mi dao. Prihvatili su ih, pa tako sigurno znaju da sam izišao od tebe i vjeruju da si me ti poslao.
9Moja molitva nije za svijet, već za one koje si mi dao jer tebi pripadaju. 10Svi oni koji su moji pripadaju tebi, i svi koji su tvoji pripadaju meni. U njima sam se proslavio. 11Sad odlazim s ovog svijeta, ostavljam ih i idem tebi. Sveti Oče, brini se za njih i dalje, očuvaj sve one koje si mi dao u svojem imenu da budu sjedinjeni baš kao i mi. 12Dok sam bio s njima, očuvao sam u tvojem imenu sve one koje si mi dao. Čuvao sam ih da nijedan osim sina pogibli ne propadne da se obistini proročanstvo iz Svetoga pisma.
13A sada idem tebi. Ovo govorim dok sam u svijetu kako bi oni u sebi imali moju radost u svoj punini. 14Dao sam im tvoju riječ, a svijet ih je zamrzio jer ne pripadaju svijetu, baš kao ni ja. 15Ne molim te da ih uzmeš sa svijeta, već da ih očuvaš od zla. 16Nisu više od ovoga svijeta, kao što ni ja nisam od svijeta. 17Posveti ih istinom; tvoje su riječi istina. 18Kao što si mene poslao u svijet, tako i ja njih šaljem. 19I ja se posvećujem za njih da i oni budu posvećeni istinom.
Molitva za sve vjernice
20Ne molim te samo za ove nego i za sve koji će povjerovati u mene zbog njihova svjedočanstva. 21Moja je molitva za sve njih da budu jedno, baš kao što smo ti i ja, Oče, ti u meni i ja u tebi, neka tako i oni budu jedno u nama da svijet povjeruje da si me ti poslao. 22Ja sam im dao slavu koju si mi ti dao; da budu jedno kao što smo i mi— 23ja u njima, a ti u meni, da budu savršeno jedno. Tako će svijet spoznati da si me ti poslao i shvatiti da ih voliš kao što voliš mene.
24Oče, želim da budu sa mnom—svi koje si mi dao—neka gledaju moju slavu koju si mi dao jer si me volio još prije postanka svijeta!
25Pravedni Oče, svijet te ne poznaje, ali ja te poznajem. I ovi su učenici spoznali da si me ti poslao. 26Njima sam otkrio tebe i dalje ću te objavljivati da žarka ljubav kojom mene voliš bude u njima i da ja budem u njima!”
Jesus Prays for Himself
1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said,
“Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you. 2You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him. 3And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do. 5So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6“I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world. I am praying for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. Glory has come to me because of my disciples. 11I will not remain in the world any longer. But they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name. It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one. 12While I was with them, I guarded them. I kept them safe through the name you gave me. None of them has been lost, except the one who was headed for ruin. It happened so that Scripture would come true.
13“I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have the same joy that I have. 14I have given them your word. The world has hated them. That’s because they are not part of the world any more than I am. 15I do not pray that you will take them out of the world. I pray that you will keep them safe from the evil one. 16They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it. 17Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth. 18You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world. 19I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy by the truth.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20“I do not pray only for them. I pray also for everyone who will believe in me because of their message. 21Father, I pray they will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one. 23I will be in them, just as you are in me. This is so that they may be brought together perfectly as one. Then the world will know that you sent me. It will also show the world that you have loved those you gave me, just as you have loved me.
24“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created.
25“Father, you are holy. The world does not know you, but I know you. Those you have given me know you have sent me. 26I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them.”
