Context of John 17:7
5Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began. 6“I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, 8for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me. 9“My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.
