John 17 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;
1 ESTAS cosas habló Jesús, y levantados los ojos al cielo, dijo: Padre, la hora es llegada; glorifica á tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te glorifique á ti;
2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.
2 Como le has dado la potestad de toda carne, para que dé vida eterna á todos los que le diste.
3 And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
3 Esta empero es la vida eterna: que te conozcan el solo Dios verdadero, y á Jesucristo, al cual has enviado.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
4 Yo te he glorificado en la tierra: he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciese.
5 and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.
5 Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú cerca de ti mismo con aquella gloria que tuve cerca de ti antes que el mundo fuese.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
6 He manifestado tu nombre á los hombres que del mundo me diste: tuyos eran, y me los diste, y guardaron tu palabra.
7 Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;
7 Ahora han conocido que todas las cosas que me diste, son de ti;
8 for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.
8 Porque las palabras que me diste, les he dado; y ellos [las] recibieron, y han conocido verdaderamente que salí de ti, y han creído que tú me enviaste.
9 I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,
9 Yo ruego por ellos: no ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste; porque tuyos son:
10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.
10 Y todas mis cosas son tus cosas, y tus cosas son mis cosas: y he sido glorificado en ellas.
11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.
11 Y ya no estoy en el mundo; mas éstos están en el mundo, y yo á ti vengo. Padre santo, á los que me has dado, guárdalos por tu nombre, para que sean una cosa, como también nosotros.
12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
12 Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los guardaba en tu nombre; á los que me diste, yo los guardé, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición; para que la Escritura se cumpliese.
13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.
13 Mas ahora vengo á ti; y hablo esto en el mundo, para que tengan mi gozo cumplido en sí mismos.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
14 Yo les he dado tu palabra; y el mundo los aborreció, porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.
15 No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los guardes del mal.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
16 No son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
17 Santifícalos en tu verdad: tu palabra es verdad.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;
18 Como tú me enviaste al mundo, también los he enviado al mundo.
19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
19 Y por ellos yo me santifico á mí mismo, para que también ellos sean santificados en verdad.
20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;
20 Mas no ruego solamente por éstos, sino también por los que han de creer en mí por la palabra de ellos.
21 that they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
21 Para que todos sean una cosa; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean en nosotros una cosa: para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste.
22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;
22 Y yo, la gloria que me diste les he dado; para que sean una cosa, como también nosotros somos una cosa.
23 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean consumadamente una cosa; que el mundo conozca que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado, como también á mí me has amado.
24 Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world.
24 Padre, aquellos que me has dado, quiero que donde yo estoy, ellos estén también conmigo; para que vean mi gloria que me has dado: por cuanto me has amado desde antes de la constitución del mundo.
25 Righteous Father, — and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, mas yo te he conocido; y éstos han conocido que tú me enviaste;
26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
26 Y yo les he manifestado tu nombre, y manifestaré[lo aún]; para que el amor con que me has amado, esté en ellos, y yo en ellos.

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.
