In context
1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee;
2 as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that [as to] all that thou hast given to him, he should give them life eternal.
3 And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth, I have completed the work which thou gavest me that I should do it;
5 and now glorify me, thou Father, along with thyself, with the glory which I had along with thee before the world was.
