John 17:9-26

91I ask on their behalf; 2I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom 3You have given Me, because 4they are Yours; 10and 5all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet 6they themselves are in the world, and 7I am coming to You. 8Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name 9which You have given Me, so that 10they may be one just as We are. 12While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, 11which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and 12not one of them perished except 13the 14son of destruction, so that the 15Scripture would be fulfilled. 13But now 16I am coming to You; and 17these things I speak in the world so that they may have My 18joy made full in themselves. 14I have given them Your word; and 19the world has hated them because 20they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from 2122the evil one. 1623They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 1724Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18Just as 25You sent Me into the world, 26I also sent them into the world. 19And for their sakes I 27sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be 28sanctified 29in truth.

20“I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21that they may all be one; 30just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, 31so that the world may 32believe that 33You sent Me. 22The 34glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; 2335I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected 36in unity, so that the world may 37know that 38You sent Me, and You 39loved them, just as You loved Me. 24Father, I desire that 40they also, whom You have given Me, 41be with Me where I am, so that they may see My 42glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before 43the foundation of the world.

25“44Righteous Father, 45although 46the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that 47You sent Me; 26and 48I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that 49the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
