Father the hour is come / glorify thy Son / that thy Son may glorify thee, As thou gavest him power of every flesh to the entente that all that thou gavest him he might give the everlasting life. And this is everlasting life that they know only thee for the true god and whom thou sendest Jesus Christ. I have glorified the in earth. I have performed the work which thou gavest me to do. And new glorify ⟨image 17⟩thou me Father with thy self / with the glory which I had before this world was made of the I have published thy name of the men / whom thou gavest me of the world. They were thine / and thou gavest them to me / and they kept my word. Now they know that all that thou gavest me come from thee. For the words which thou gavest me I have them / & they toke them / and knew verily that they came from thee / and they believed that thou sentest me. For them I ask / for the world I ask not / but for them which thou gavest me because they be thine and all mine be thine / and thine mine / and I am glorified in them. And I am now no longer in to world: But they be in the world still. For I come to the / holy Father save them for thy names sake whom thou haste given me / that they may be one as we be one. When I was with them in the world I did keep them in thy name, Whom thou gavest me I kept and none of them perished / but only the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee / and these I speak in the world that they may have my joy replenished ⟨image 18⟩
