John 17:15-23

15I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

18As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19I sanctify myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

20“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word.

21May they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us, so that the world may believe you sent me.

22I have given them the glory you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.

23I am in them and you are in me, so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved them as you have loved me.
