After saying all these things, 

Jesus looked up to heaven and said, 

“Father, the hour has come. 

Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. 

For you have given him authority over everyone. 

He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. 

And this is the way to have eternal life—

to know you, 

the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, 

the one you sent to earth.

John 17:1-3
