1 Jesús dijo estas cosas. Luego levantó los ojos al cielo y dijo: Padre, la hora ha llegado. Glorifica a tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te glorifique a ti.
1 Jesus said these things, then lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
2 Así como le diste autoridad sobre toda carne, para que dé vida eterna a todos los que le has dado.
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3 Y esta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien has enviado.
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4 Yo te he glorificado en la tierra. He terminado la obra que me diste que hiciera.
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5 Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú junto a ti, con la gloria que tenía contigo antes de que el mundo existiera.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
6 He manifestado tu nombre a los hombres que del mundo me diste. Eran tuyos, y me los diste; y han guardado tu palabra.
6 “I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.
7 Ahora han conocido que todas las cosas que me diste vienen de ti.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
8 Porque les he dado las palabras que me diste; y ellos las recibieron. Han conocido de verdad que salí de ti, y han creído que tú me enviaste.
8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
9 Yo ruego por ellos. No ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste, porque son tuyos.
9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
10 Todo lo mío es tuyo, y lo tuyo es mío; y he sido glorificado en ellos.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 Ya no estoy en el mundo, pero ellos están en el mundo, y yo voy a ti. Padre santo, guárdalos en tu nombre, a los que me has dado, para que sean uno, así como nosotros.
11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
12 Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los guardaba en tu nombre. A los que me diste, yo los cuidé; y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición, para que se cumpliera la Escritura.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Pero ahora voy a ti, y digo estas cosas en el mundo para que tengan mi gozo completo en ellos.
13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
14 Yo les he dado tu palabra. El mundo los odió, porque no son del mundo, así como yo no soy del mundo.
14 I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 No te ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los guardes del Maligno.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
16 No son del mundo, así como yo no soy del mundo.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Santifícalos en tu verdad. Tu palabra es verdad.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
18 Como tú me enviaste al mundo, así también yo los he enviado al mundo.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19 Por ellos yo me santifico a mí mismo, para que ellos también sean santificados en la verdad.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 No ruego solo por estos, sino también por los que creerán en mí por medio de la palabra de ellos,
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
21 para que todos sean uno; como tú, Padre, estás en mí y yo en ti, que también ellos sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste.
21 that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 La gloria que me diste, yo les he dado, para que sean uno, así como nosotros somos uno:
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
23 yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en unidad, y para que el mundo conozca que tú me enviaste y que los amaste a ellos como me amaste a mí.
23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.
24 Padre, quiero que los que me has dado estén conmigo donde yo estoy, para que vean mi gloria que me has dado, porque me amaste desde antes de la fundación del mundo.
24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido; pero yo te conocí, y estos han conocido que tú me enviaste.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
26 Yo les he dado a conocer tu nombre, y lo daré a conocer todavía, para que el amor con que me has amado esté en ellos, y yo en ellos.
26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Before these words, which we are now, with the Lord's help, to make the subject of discourse, Jesus had said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace;" which we are to consider as referring, not to the later words uttered by Him immediately before, but to all that He had addressed to them, …

"He that hath done and taught," it saith, "the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven." And with much reason; for to show true wisdom in words, is easy, but the proof which is by works is the part of some noble and great one.

… alone antecedently to Adam, but also before all creation, the Word glorified His Father, remaining in Him; and was Himself glorified by the Father, as He did Himself declare, "Father, glorify Thou Me with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was." Nor did He stand in need of our service when He ordered us to follow …
This is life eternal; this Himself hath said, "But this is life eternal, that they may know Thee the Only True God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." This is life eternal, that they may know, see, comprehend, acquaint themselves with what they had believed, may perceive that which they were not yet able to comprehend.

… men know that ye are my disciples," not "if ye cast out devils," but "if ye have love one to another." And again, "Hereby shall all men know that Thou hast sent me;" not "if these men raise the dead," but, "if they be one." For, as to miracles, they oftentimes, while they profited another, have injured him who had …
