John 17:9-17

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.
