John 17:6-19

6 ¹"I have manifested your name to the people ²whom you gave me out of the world. ³Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7 Now they know that everything ⁴that you have given me is from you.

8 For I have given them ⁵the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ⁶I came from you; and ⁷they have believed that you sent me.

9 I am praying for them. ⁸I am not praying for the world but for those ⁹whom you have given me, for ¹⁰they are yours.

10 ¹¹All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ¹²I am glorified in them.

11 And I am no longer in the world, but ¹³they are in the world, and ¹⁴I am coming to you. ¹⁵Holy Father, ¹⁶keep them in your name, ¹⁷which you have given me, ¹⁸that they may be one, ¹⁹even as we are one.

12 ²⁰While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ²¹guarded them, and ²²not one of them has been lost except ²³the son of destruction, ²⁴that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 But now ²⁵I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ²⁶my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 ²⁷I have given them your word, and ²⁸the world has hated them ²⁹because they are not of the world, ³⁰just as I am not of the world.

15 I ³¹do not ask that you ³²take them out of the world, but that you ³³keep them from ³⁴the evil one.^[a]

16 ³⁵They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 ³⁶Sanctify them^[b] in the truth; ³⁷your word is truth.

18 ³⁸As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19 And ³⁹for their sake ⁴⁰I consecrate myself,^[c] that they also ⁴¹may be sanctified^[d] in truth.
