In context
1 These things, spake Jesus, and, lifting up his eyes unto heaven, said:—Father! The hour is come! Glorify thy Son, that, the Son, may glorify, thee,—
2 Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age-abiding.
3 And, this, is the age-abiding life, That they get to know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ.
4 I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do.
5 And, now, glorify me—thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world’s existence, with thee.
