John 17:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus prays for himself

17 After Jesus said this, he looked up to heaven. He said, ‘Father, the time has now arrived. Show everyone how great your Son is. So then I, the Son, can show how great you are. ² You gave me authority over all people. You did this so that I could give people life for ever. Those are the people that you gave to me. ³ What does it mean for people to live with you for ever? It means that they know you, the one who is the only true God. They also know me, Jesus Christ, the one that you have sent.
