Jesus met with his boss daily, usually for hours. Nothing could interrupt the
time that was predesignated, set aside, and honored. (Luke 6:12 KJV) And it came
to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all
night in prayer to God.We need to stay in contact with the Lord and we need
to pray often.
This chapter constitutes the Lord's own prayer to His Father.
The Lord's Prayer : (John 17 KJV) 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: {2} As thou hast given him power over all flesh,
that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. {3} And this
is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou hast sent. {4} I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do. {5} And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own
self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. {6} I have manifested
thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and
thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. {7} Now they have known that all
things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. {8} For I have given unto them
the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely
that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. {9} I
pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for
they are thine. {10} And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified
in them. {11} And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and
I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given
me, that they may be one, as we are. {12} While I was with them in the world, I kept
them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. {13} And now come
I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled
in themselves. {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. {15} I pray not that thou
shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil. {16} They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. {17} Sanctify
them through thy truth: thy word is truth. {18} As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world. {19} And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. {20} Neither pray I
for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
{21} That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they
also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. {22} And
the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we
are one: {23} I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast
loved me. {24} Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me
where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world. {25} O righteous Father, the world hath not
known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. {26}
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith
thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (Return to Resource
