John 17:2-19

²As thou hast youun to hym power on ech fleisch, that al thing that thou hast youun to hym, he yyue to hem euerlastynge lijf.

³And this is euerlastynge lijf, that thei knowe thee very God aloone, and whom thou hast sent, Jhesu Crist.

⁴Y haue clarified thee on the erthe, Y haue endid the werk, that thou hast youun to me to do.

⁵And now, fadir, clarifie thou me at thi silf, with the clerenesse that Y hadde at thee, bifor the world was maad.

⁶Y haue schewid thi name to tho men, whiche thou hast youun to me of the world; thei weren thine, and thou hast youun hem to me, and thei han kept thi word.

⁷And now thei han knowun, that alle thingis that thou hast youun to me, ben of thee.

⁸For the wordis that thou hast youun to me, Y yaf to hem; and thei han takun, and han knowun verili, that Y wente out fro thee; and thei bileueden, that thou sentist me.

⁹Y preie for hem, Y preye not for the world, but for hem that thou hast youun to me, for thei ben thine.

¹⁰And alle my thingis ben thine, and thi thingis ben myne; and Y am clarified in hem.

¹¹And now Y am not in the world, and these ben in the world, and Y come to thee. Hooli fadir, kepe hem in thi name, whiche thou yauest to me, that thei ben oon, as we ben.

¹²While Y was with hem, Y kepte hem in thi name; thilke that thou yauest to me, Y kepte, and noon of hem perischide, but the sone of perdicioun, that the scripture be fulfillid.

¹³But now Y come to thee, and Y speke these thingis in the world, that thei haue my ioie fulfillid in hem silf.

¹⁴Y yaf to hem thi word, and the world hadde hem in hate; for thei ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.

¹⁵Y preye not, that thou take hem awei fro the world, but that thou kepe hem fro yuel.

¹⁶They ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.

¹⁷Halewe thou hem in treuth; thi word is treuthe.

¹⁸As thou sentist me in to the world, also Y sente hem `in to the world.

¹⁹And Y halewe my silf for hem, that also thei ben halewid in treuthe.
