1 These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
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 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy ownself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
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 have known that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee.
7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,
8 For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them] , and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
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 pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.
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 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we [are] .
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 in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
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 And now I come to thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
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 have given to them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
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 pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil.
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, even as I am not of the world.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth.
19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone; but for them also who shall believe on me through their word.
20 “Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word,
21 That they all may be 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 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 And the glory which thou gavest to me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one.
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 in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
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 will that they also whom thou hast given to me be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given to me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
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 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.
26 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare [it] : that the love with which thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
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.
