John 17:3 in Context — John 17

1 Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus leva les yeux au ciel, et dit: Père,l’heure est venue! Glorifie ton Fils, afin que ton Fils te glorifie,

2 selon que tu lui as donné pouvoir sur toute chair, afin qu’il accorde la vie éternelle à tous ceux que tu lui as donnés.

3 Or,la vie éternelle, c’est qu’ils te connaissent, toi, le seul vrai Dieu, et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus-Christ.

4 Je t’ai glorifié sur la terre,j’ai achevé l’œuvre que tu m’as donnée à faire.

5 Et maintenant toi, Père, glorifie-moi auprès de toi-même de la gloireque j’avais auprès de toi avant que le monde fût.
