John 17:19-26

19 On their behalf I am setting myself apart for holiness, so that they too may be set apart for holiness by means of the truth.

20 "I pray not only for these, but also for those who will trust in me because of their word,

21 that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are united with me and I with you, I pray that they may be united with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

22 The glory which you have given to me, I have given to them; so that they may be one, just as we are one --

23 I united with them and you with me, so that they may be completely one, and the world thus realize that you sent me, and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.

24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am; so that they may see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these people have known that you sent me.

26 I made your name known to them, and I will continue to make it known; so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I myself may be united with them."
