Chapter 17 of John—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Jesus spoke these things; and 1lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; 2glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
  2. even as 3You gave Him authority over all flesh, that 4to [a]all whom You have given Him, 5He may give eternal life.
  3. This is eternal life, that they may know You, 6the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom 7You have sent.
  4. 8I glorified You on the earth, [b]9having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
  5. Now, Father, 10glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had 11with You before the world was.
  6. ¶ “12I have manifested Your name to the men whom 13You gave Me out of the world; they were 14Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have 15kept Your word.
  7. Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
  8. for 16the words which You gave Me 17I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that 18I came forth from You, and they believed that 19You sent Me.
  9. 20I ask on their behalf; 21I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom 22You have given Me; for 23they are Yours;
  10. and 24all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
  11. I am no longer in the world; and yet 25they themselves are in the world, and 26I come to You. 27Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name 28which You have given Me, that 29they may be one even as We are.
  12. While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name 30which You have given Me; and I guarded them and 31not one of them perished but 32the [c]son of perdition, so that the 33Scripture would be fulfilled.
  13. ¶ But now 34I come to You; and 35these things I speak in the world so that they may have My 36joy made full in themselves.
  14. I have given them Your word; and 37the world has hated them, because 38they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  15. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them [d]from [e]39the evil one.
  16. 40They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  17. 41Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
  18. As 42You sent Me into the world, 43I also have sent them into the world.
  19. For their sakes I 44sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be 45sanctified 46in truth.
  20. ¶ “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
  21. that they may all be one; 47even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, 48so that the world may [f]believe that 49You sent Me.
  22. ¶ The 50glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
  23. 51I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [g]in unity, so that the world may [h]know that 52You sent Me, and 53loved them, even as You have loved Me.
  24. Father, I desire that 54they also, whom You have given Me, 55be with Me where I am, so that they may see My 56glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before 57the foundation of the world.
  25. ¶ “O 58righteous Father, [i]although 59the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that 60You sent Me;
  26. and 61I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that 62the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
