John 17:7-17 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
7
Now they know that everything you have given me is from you;
8
for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
9
I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours.
10
All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them.
11
And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
12
While I was with them, I protected them in your name that a you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, b so that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13
But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. c
14
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15
I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. d
16
They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
17
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
