John 17:12-22

12 1While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have 2guarded them, and 3not one of them has been lost except 4the son of destruction, 5that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now 6I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have 7my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 8I have given them your word, and 9the world has hated them 10because they are not of the world, 11just as I am not of the world.
15 I 12do not ask that you 13take them out of the world, but that you 14keep them from 15the evil one.[a]
16 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17 17Sanctify them[b] in the truth; 18your word is truth.
18 19As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19 And 20for their sake 21I consecrate myself,[c] that they also 22may be sanctified[d] in truth.
20 "I do not 23ask for these only, but also for those 24who will believe in me through their word,
21 25that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that 26they also may be in 27us, so that the world 28may believe that you have sent me.
22 29The glory that you have given me 30I have given to them, 31that they may be one even as we are one,
