About a prayer of Christ…

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. † For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. † Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. † I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. † And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. † "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. † Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. † For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. † I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. † All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. † I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one. †
