These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, Father, the hour has come;  ¹glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You;

Even as  ¹You have given Him authority over all flesh to give  ²eternal life to all whom You have given Him.

And this is  ¹eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Him whom You have  ²sent, Jesus Christ.

I have  ¹glorified You on earth, finishing the work which You have given Me to do.

And now,  ¹glorify Me along with Yourself, Father, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

I have manifested  ¹Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your  ²word.

Now they have come to know that all that You have given Me is from You,

For the words which You gave Me I have given to them, and they received them and knew truly that I came forth  ¹from You, and they have believed that You sent Me.

I ask concerning them; I do not ask concerning the world, but concerning those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours;

And all that is Mine is Yours, and Yours Mine; and I have been  ¹glorified  ²in them.

And I am no longer in the world; yet they are in the world, and I am coming to You.  ¹Holy Father, keep them  ²in Your name, which You have given to Me, that they may be one even as We are.

When I was with them, I kept them in Your name, which You have given to Me, and I guarded them; and not one of them  ¹perished, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

I have given them Your  ¹word, and the  ²world has hated them, because they are not  ³of the world even as I am not  ³of the world.

I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them  ¹out of the hands of the  ²evil one.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 ¹Sanctify them  ²in the truth; Your  ³word is truth.

As You have sent Me into the world, I also have  ¹sent them into the world.

And for their sake I  ¹sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

And I do not ask concerning these only, but concerning those also who believe into Me through their word,

That they all may be  ¹one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You have sent Me.

And the  ¹glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be  ²one, even as We are one;

I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that You have sent Me and have  ¹loved them even as You have loved Me.

Father, concerning that which You have given Me, I desire that they also may  ¹be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory, which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

 ¹Righteous Father, though the world has not known You, yet I have known You, and these have known that You have sent Me.

And I have made Your name known to them and will yet make it known, that the  ¹love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in the place of his father.

Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.

And he did what was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, so that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And he took Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

And Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the silver according to Pharaoh's word. He exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, from each man according to his estimation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.

And he did what was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

In his days Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

And Jehovah sent against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the children of Ammon; and He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which He spoke through his servants the prophets.

Surely it was at the command of Jehovah that this came to pass against Judah, to remove them out of His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,

And also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and Jehovah would not forgive.

And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.

And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan from Jerusalem.

And he did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon went up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.

And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city while his servants were besieging it.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his captains and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of  ¹his reign.

And he brought out from there all the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the treasures of the king's house. And he cut in pieces all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel had made in Jehovah's temple, as Jehovah had said.

And he carried away into exile all Jerusalem and all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except the poorest people of the land.

And he carried Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon; and the king's mother and the king's wives and his eunuchs and the leading men of the land, he carried away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

And all the seven thousand men of valor and the one thousand craftsmen and smiths, all mighty men fit for war, even these the king of Babylon carried away into exile to Babylon.

Then the king of Babylon made  ¹Jehoiachin's uncle Mattaniah king in his place, and he changed his name to Zedekiah.

 ¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.

And he did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

For it was through the anger of Jehovah that this came to pass in Jerusalem and in Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he and his whole army, against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around.

So the city came under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was so severe within the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

Then the city was breached, and all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden, while the Chaldeans were all around the city; and the king went on the way toward the Arabah.

And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

And they seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment upon him.

And they slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his eyes then put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.

In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguard, the servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.

And he burned the house of Jehovah and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every large house he burned with fire.

And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the bodyguard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.

And the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard carried away into exile.

But the captain of the bodyguard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and field workers.

And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the bronze pillars, which were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the bronze sea, which were in the house of Jehovah. And they carried their bronze to Babylon.

And they took away the pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the cups and all the bronze vessels with which they ministered.

And the captain of the bodyguard took away the firepans and the bowls: that which was of gold, for its gold, and that which was of silver, for its silver.

As for the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.

The height of one  ¹pillar was eighteen cubits, and a bronze capital was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and a network and pomegranates were upon the capital all around, all of bronze; and the second pillar was like these with a network.

And the captain of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest and Zephaniah the second priest and the three doorkeepers.

And from the city he took one eunuch, who was overseer of the men of war, and five men from the king's inner circle who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.

And Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon in Riblah.

And the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath; so Judah was carried away into  ¹exile out of its land.

And for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon left behind, he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan over them.

And when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah, that is, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and Johanan the son of Kareah and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

And Gedaliah swore to them and their men and said to them, Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.

In the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came with ten men with him; and they struck down Gedaliah and he died. And they did the same to the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces rose up and went to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach the king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, released Jehoiachin the king of Judah from prison.

And he spoke with him kindly and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

And Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes and ate his food in his presence continually all the days of his life.

And for his allowance, a continual allowance was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.
