4I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
5And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

7Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:
8for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
10and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.
