Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 When Jesus finished saying this he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you.
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;
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 For you gave him authority over all people so that he might give eternal life to all those you have given to him.
2 Como le has dado la potestad de toda carne, para que dé vida eterna á todos los que le diste.
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3 Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent.
3 Esta empero es la vida eterna: que te conozcan el solo Dios verdadero, y á Jesucristo, al cual has enviado.
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4 I have brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
4 Yo te he glorificado en la tierra: he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciese.
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5 Now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the beginning of the world.
5 Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú cerca de ti mismo con aquella gloria que tuve cerca de ti antes que el mundo fuese.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
6 I have revealed your character to those you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you; you gave them to me; and they have done what you said.
6 He manifestado tu nombre á los hombres que del mundo me diste: tuyos eran, y me los diste, y guardaron 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 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
7 Ahora han conocido que todas las cosas que me diste, son de ti;
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
8 I have given them the message that you gave me. They accepted it, completely convinced that I came from you, and they believed that you sent 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.
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 I'm praying for them—not for the world, but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.
9 Yo ruego por ellos: no ruego por el mundo, sino por los que me diste; porque tuyos son:
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 All who belong to me are yours, and those who belong to you are mine, and I have been glorified through them.
10 Y todas mis cosas son tus cosas, y tus cosas son mis cosas: y he sido glorificado en ellas.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 I am leaving the world, but they will remain in the world; I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name, the name that you gave to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one.
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.
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 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you gave to me. I watched over them so that no one was lost except the ‘son of the lost,’ so Scripture was 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.
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 Now I'm coming to you, and I say these things while I am still here in the world so they may share completely in my joy.
13 Mas ahora vengo á ti; y hablo esto en el mundo, para que tengan mi gozo cumplido en sí mismos.
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 I gave them your message, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I'm 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.
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 I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but for you to protect them from the evil one.
15 No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los guardes del mal.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, just as I'm not of the world.
16 No son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.
17 Santifícalos en tu verdad: tu palabra es verdad.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
18 Just as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
18 Como tú me enviaste al mundo, también los he enviado al mundo.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19 I dedicate myself for them so that they may also be truly holy.
19 Y por ellos yo me santifico á mí mismo, para que también ellos sean santificados en verdad.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 I'm not only praying for them, I'm also praying for those who trust in me because of their message.
20 Mas no ruego solamente por éstos, sino también por los que han de creer en mí por 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 I pray that they all may be one, just as you, Father, live in me, and I live in you, so that they too may live in us so that the world will believe you did send 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.
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 I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just 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.
22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one,
23 I live in them, and you live in me. May they be completely one, so the whole world will know that you did send me, and that you love them, just as you love 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.
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 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so they can see the glory which you gave to me—for you loved me before the world was created.
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.
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 Good Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these here with me know that you sent me.
25 Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, mas yo te he conocido; y éstos 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 I have revealed your character to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me will be in them, and I will live 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.
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.
