Context of John 17:7

5So, Father, now that I return to you, show people how great I am. Before the world began, I had great glory with you. Show again that I am great like that.’ 6‘You gave some people to me who were from this world. I have shown them who you are. They were yours and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your message. Everything that I have comes from you. Now they know that you gave me everything. 8I gave to them the message that you gave to me. They accepted that message. They know certainly that I came from you. They believe that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the people who belong to this world. No, I am praying for those people that you have given to me. I am praying for them because they are yours.
