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⟩in them. I gave them thy word / and the world hated them because they be not of the world: like as I am not of the world. I asked not that thou shouldest take them away out of the world: but that thou keep them from the wicked. They be not of the world / like as I am not of the world. Make them holy in thy trueth. Like as thou hast sent me in to the world / so have I seem them in to the world / and for them I do sanctify my self / that they also may be sanctified in the trueth. And I pray not only for them / but also for them that shall believe in me through their preachings: so that all they may be one. Like as thou (father) art in me and I in the / that they also may be in us / that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory / which thou hast given me / I gave it them that they might be one:
