John 17:10-20

10 All My things are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been glorified in them.
11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect [a] them by Your name [b] that You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are one.
12 While 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, [c] so that the Scripture may be fulfilled. [d]
13 Now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have My joy completed in them.
14 I have given them Your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15 I am not praying that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify [e] them by the truth; Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
19 I sanctify Myself for them, so they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their message.
