John 17:6-19

6“I have revealed your name to the people you gave me from the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7Now they know that everything you have given me is from you,

8because I have given them the words you gave me. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

9“I pray for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they are yours.

10Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine, and I am glorified in them.

11I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name that you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.

12While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them.

14I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

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.
