John 17:3 in Context — John 17

1 ESTAS cosas habló Jesús, y levantados los ojos al cielo, dijo: Padre, la hora es llegada; glorifica á tu Hijo, para que también tu Hijo te glorifique á ti;

2 Como le has dado la potestad de toda carne, para que dé vida eterna á todos los que le diste.

3 Esta empero es la vida eterna: que te conozcan el solo Dios verdadero, y á Jesucristo, al cual has enviado.

4 Yo te he glorificado en la tierra: he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciese.

5 Ahora pues, Padre, glorifícame tú cerca de ti mismo con aquella gloria que tuve cerca de ti antes que el mundo fuese.
