John 17:8-18 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
8
For I gave them the words you gave me1 and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,2 and they believed that you sent me.3
9
I pray for them.4 I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,5 for they are yours.
10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.6 And glory has come to me through them.
11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,7 and I am coming to you.8 Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one9 as we are one.10
12
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost11 except the one doomed to destruction12 so that Scripture would be fulfilled.13
13
"I am coming to you now,14 but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy15 within them.
14
I have given them your word and the world has hated them,16 for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.17
15
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.18
16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.19
17
Sanctifya them by the truth; your word is truth.20
18
As you sent me into the world,21 I have sent them into the world.22
