John 17:17-26

17 1Sanctify them[a] in the truth; 2your word is truth.
18 3As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
19 And 4for their sake 5I consecrate myself,[b] that they also 6may be sanctified[c] in truth.
20 "I do not 7ask for these only, but also for those 8who will believe in me through their word,
21 9that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that 10they also may be in 11us, so that the world 12may believe that you have sent me.
22 13The glory that you have given me 14I have given to them, 15that they may be one even as we are one,
23 16I in them and you in me, 17that they may become perfectly one, 18so that the world may know that you sent me and 19loved them even as 20you loved me.
24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be 21with me 22where I am, 23to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me 24before the foundation of the world.
25 25O righteous Father, even though 26the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
26 27I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love 28with which you have loved me may be in them, and 29I in them."
