20 “I do not (A)ask for these only, but also for those (B)who will believe in me through their word, 21 (C)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that (D)they also may be in (E)us, so that the world (F)may believe that you have sent me. 22 (G)The glory that you have given me (H)I have given to them, (I)that they may be one even as we are one, 23 (J)I in them and you in me, (K)that they may become perfectly one, (L)so that the world may know that you sent me and (M)loved them even as (N)you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be (O)with me (P)where I am, (Q)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me (R)before the foundation of the world. 25 (S)O righteous Father, even though (T)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 (U)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love (V)with which you have loved me may be in them, and (W)I in them.”

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(A) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(B) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(C) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(D) that they may be one as we are one(E) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(F) and have loved them(G) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(H) to be with me where I am,(I) and to see my glory,(J) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(K)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(L) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(M) 26 I have made you[a] known to them,(N) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(O) and that I myself may be in them.”

  1. John 17:26 Greek your name

12 “Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,
    for God is greater than man.
13 Why do you (A)contend against him,
    saying, ‘He (B)will answer none of man's[a] words’?[b]
14 For God (C)speaks in one way,
    (D)and in two, though man (E)does not perceive it.
15 In (F)a dream, in (G)a vision of (H)the night,
    when (I)deep sleep falls on men,
    while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (J)opens the ears of men
    and terrifies[c] them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (K)deed
    and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
    his life from (L)perishing by the sword.

19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
    and with continual strife in his (M)bones,
20 so that his (N)life loathes bread,
    and his appetite (O)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
    and his bones that were not seen (P)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (Q)the pit,
    and his life to (R)those who bring death.
23 If there be for him (S)an angel,
    (T)a mediator, (U)one of the thousand,
    to declare to man what is (V)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
    ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
    I have found (W)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (X)become fresh with youth;
    let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man[d] (Y)prays to God, and he accepts him;
    he (Z)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (AA)restores to man his righteousness.
27     He sings before men and says:
‘I (AB)sinned and perverted what was right,
    and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my (AC)soul from going down (AD)into the pit,
    and my life shall (AE)look upon the light.’

29 “Behold, God does all these things,
    twice, (AF)three times, with a man,
30 to bring back his soul from the pit,
    that he may be lighted with (AG)the light of life.
31 Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;
    be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have any words, (AH)answer me;
    (AI)speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, (AJ)listen to me;
    be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

    for God is greater than any mortal.(A)
13 Why do you complain to him(B)

15 In a dream,(G) in a vision(H) of the night,(I)

21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
    and their bones,(V) once hidden, now stick out.(W)
22 They draw near to the pit,(X)
    and their life to the messengers of death.[c](Y)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
    a messenger,(Z) one out of a thousand,
    sent to tell them how to be upright,(AA)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
    ‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AB)
    I have found a ransom for them(AC)
25 let their flesh be renewed(AD) like a child’s;
    let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AE)
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AF)
    they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(AG)
    he will restore them to full well-being.(AH)
27 And they will go to others and say,
    ‘I have sinned,(AI) I have perverted what is right,(AJ)
    but I did not get what I deserved.(AK)
28 God has delivered(AL) me from going down to the pit,(AM)
    and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(AN)

29 “God does all these things to a person(AO)
    twice, even three times(AP)
30 to turn them back(AQ) from the pit,(AR)
    that the light of life(AS) may shine on them.(AT)

31 “Pay attention, Job, and listen(AU) to me;(AV)
    be silent,(AW) and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;(AX)
    speak up, for I want to vindicate you.(AY)
33 But if not, then listen to me;(AZ)
    be silent,(BA) and I will teach you wisdom.(BB)
