2 As thou hast youun to hym power on ech fleisch, that al thing that thou hast youun to hym, he yyue to hem euerlastynge lijf.
3 And this is euerlastynge lijf, that thei knowe thee very God aloone, and whom thou hast sent, Jhesu Crist.
4 Y haue clarified thee on the erthe, Y haue endid the werk, that thou hast youun to me to do.
5 And now, fadir, clarifie thou me at thi silf, with the clerenesse that Y hadde at thee, bifor the world was maad.
6 Y haue schewid thi name to tho men, whiche thou hast youun to me of the world; thei weren thine, and thou hast youun hem to me, and thei han kept thi word.
7 And now thei han knowun, that alle thingis that thou hast youun to me, ben of thee.
8 For the wordis that thou hast youun to me, Y yaf to hem; and thei han takun, and han knowun verili, that Y wente out fro thee; and thei bileueden, that thou sentist me.
9 Y preie for hem, Y preye not for the world, but for hem that thou hast youun to me, for thei ben thine.
10 And alle my thingis ben thine, and thi thingis ben myne; and Y am clarified in hem.
11 And now Y am not in the world, and these ben in the world, and Y come to thee. Hooli fadir, kepe hem in thi name, whiche thou yauest to me, that thei ben oon, as we ben.
12 While Y was with hem, Y kepte hem in thi name; thilke that thou yauest to me, Y kepte, and noon of hem perischide, but the sone of perdicioun, that the scripture be fulfillid.
13 But now Y come to thee, and Y speke these thingis in the world, that thei haue my ioie fulfillid in hem silf.
14 Y yaf to hem thi word, and the world hadde hem in hate; for thei ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.
15 Y preye not, that thou take hem awei fro the world, but that thou kepe hem fro yuel.
16 They ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.
17 Halewe thou hem in treuth; thi word is treuthe.
18 As thou sentist me in to the world, also Y sente hem `in to the world.
19 And Y halewe my silf for hem, that also thei ben halewid in treuthe.
20 And Y preye not oneli for hem, but also for hem that schulden bileue in to me bi the word of hem;
21 that all ben oon, as thou, fadir, in me, and Y in thee, that also thei in vs be oon; that the world bileue, that thou hast sent me.
22 And Y haue youun to hem the clerenesse, that thou hast youun to me, that thei ben oon,
23 as we ben oon; Y in hem, and thou in me, that thei be endid in to oon; and that the world knowe, that thou sentist me, and hast loued hem, as thou hast loued also me.
24 Fadir, thei whiche thou yauest to me, Y wole that where Y am, that thei be with me, that thei see my clerenesse, that thou hast youun to me; for thou louedist me bifor the makyng of the world.
25 Fadir, riytfuli the world knew thee not, but Y knew thee, and these knewen, that thou sentist me.
26 And Y haue maad thi name knowun to hem, and schal make knowun; that the loue bi which thou `hast loued me, be in hem, and Y in hem.
