Hierarchical Prayer of Jesus Christ
After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come.
Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all those you have given him.
And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent, Jesus Christ. “I have glorified you on earth by completing the work that you entrusted to me. So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
“I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they have come to understand that everything you gave me is from you. For the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they have accepted them and know with certainty that I have come from you, and they have believed that you sent me.
“It is for them that I pray. I do not pray for the world, but for those you gave me because they are yours. Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine, and through them I have been glorified. I will remain no longer in the world, but they will still be in the world while I will be coming to you. “Holy Father, protect by the power of your name those you have given me, so that they may be one, even as we are one.
While I was with them I protected them by your name that you have given me, and I kept them safe. Not one of them was lost, except the one destined to be lost, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled. “Now I am coming to you, and I say these things while I am still in the world so that my joy may come to full measure in them.

In the beginning
God created heaven and earth.
Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
God said, 'Let there be light,'
and there was light.
God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
God called light 'day',
and darkness he called 'night'.
Evening came and
morning came: the first day.
Genesis 1: 1 - 5
