1 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

1 After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory.

1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;

2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

2 After all, you've given him authority over all humanity so that he can give eternal life to all those you gave to him.

2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.

2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.

3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

3 This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

3 And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

4 "I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

4 On earth I have given you glory by finishing the work you gave me to do.

4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;

5 "Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

5 Now, Father, give me glory in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

5 and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.

14 "I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

14 I have given them your message. But the world has hated them because they don't belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.
