John 17:7-17

7 "Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

8 for ¹the words which You gave Me ²I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ³I came forth from You, and they believed that ⁴You sent Me.

9 "⁵I ask on their behalf; ⁶I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom ⁷You have given Me; for ⁸they are Yours;

10 and ⁹all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet ¹⁰they themselves are in the world, and ¹¹I come to You. ¹²Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ¹³which You have given Me, that ¹⁴they may be one even as We are.

12 "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name ¹⁵which You have given Me; and I guarded them and ¹⁶not one of them perished but ¹⁷the son of perdition, so that the ¹⁸Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

13 "But now ¹⁹I come to You; and ²⁰these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ²¹joy made full in themselves.

14 "I have given them Your word; and ²²the world has hated them, because ²³they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from ²⁴the evil one.

16 "²⁵They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 "²⁶Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
