John 17:6-19

6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee;

8 for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received [them], and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me.

9 I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

10 (and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.

11 And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;

19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
