16 ^w“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So ^xsome of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but ^yyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts ^zwill rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^awhatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ^bAsk, and you will receive, ^cthat your joy may be full.

25 “I have said these things to you in ^dfigures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, ^ebecause you have loved me and have believed that I came ^ffrom God.¹ 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am ^gleaving the world and going to the Father.”

29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! 30 Now we know that ^hyou know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ⁱyou will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am ^jnot alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have ^kpeace. ^lIn the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have ^movercome the world.”

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ⁿthe hour has come; ^oglorify your Son ^pthat the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over ^qall flesh, to give eternal life to ^rall whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they ^sknow you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having ^taccomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you ^ubefore the world existed.

6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them ^vthe words that you gave me, and they have ^wreceived them and have come to know in truth that I came ^xfrom you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and ^yyours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and ^zI am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, ^athat they may be one, even as ^bwe are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and ^cnot one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be ^dfulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, ^ethat they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has ^fhated them because they are ^gnot of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you ^htake them out of the world, but that you ⁱkeep them from the evil one.² 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 ^jSanctify them³ in the truth; your word is truth. 18 ^kAs you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,⁴ that they also may be sanctified⁵ in truth.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will ^lbelieve in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as ^myou, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one ⁿeven as we are one, 23 ^oI in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and ^ploved them even as you ^qloved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me ^rwhere I am, to see my ^sglory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, ^tI know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 ^uI made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, ^vthat the love with which you have loved me may be ^win them, and I in them.”
