John 17:7-17

7 Now they understand that all [the things] that you have given me are from you,

8 because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

9 I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,

10 and all my [things] are yours, and your [things] [are] mine, and I have been glorified in them.

11 And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

12 When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded [them], and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.

13 And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these [things] in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

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

15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.

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

17 Sanctify them in the truth--your word is truth.
