1 After Jesus had finished speaking to his disciples, he looked up towards heaven and prayed:Father, the time has come for you to bring glory to your Son, in order that he may bring glory to you.
2 And you gave him power over all people, so that he would give eternal life to everyone you give him.
3 Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent.
4 I have brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you gave me to do.
5 Now, Father, give me back the glory that I had with you before the world was created.
6 You have given me some followers from this world, and I have shown them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed you.
