To read esv notes go to ebible here
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, m he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, n the hour has come; o glorify your Son that the Son may p glorify you, 2 since q you have given him authority over all flesh, r to give eternal life to all s whom you have given him. 3 t And this is eternal life, u that they know you v the only w true God, and xJesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I y glorified you on earth, z having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, aglorify me in your own presence with the glory b that I had with you cbefore the world existed.
6 d "I have manifested your name to the people e whom you gave me out of the world. f Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything f that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them g the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that h I came from you; and i they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. j I am not praying for the world but for those k whom you have given me, for l they are yours. 10 m All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and n I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but o they are in the world, and p I am coming to you. q Holy Father, r keep them in your name, s which you have given me, t that they may be one, u even as we are one. 12 v While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have w guarded them, and x not one of them has been lost except ythe son of destruction, z that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now a I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have b my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 c I have given them your word, and d the world has hated them e because they are not of the world, f just as I am not of the world. 15 I g do not ask that you htake them out of the world, but that you i keep them from j the evil one. 1 16 k They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 lSanctify them 2 in the truth; m your word is truth. 18 n As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And o for their sake p I consecrate myself, 3 that they also q may be sanctified 4 in truth.
20 "I do not r ask for these only, but also for those s who will believe in me through their word, 21 t that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that u they also may be in v us, so that the world w may believe that you have sent me. 22 x The glory that you have given me y I have given to them, t that they may be one even as we are one, 23 z I in them and you in me, a that they may become perfectly one, b so that the world may know that you sent me and cloved them even as d you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be e with me f where I am, g to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me h before the foundation of the world. 25 i O righteous Father, even though j the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 k I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love l with which you have loved me may be in them, and m I in them"
