GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New International Version NIV
20 "I'm not praying only for them. I'm also praying for those who will believe in me through their message.
20
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21 I pray that all of these people continue to have unity in the way that you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they may be united with us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
21
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me. I did this so that they are united in the same way we are.
22
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I am in them, and you are in me. So they are completely united. In this way the world knows that you have sent me and that you have loved them in the same way you have loved me.
23
I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 "Father, I want those you have given to me to be with me, to be where I am. I want them to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the world was made.
24
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world didn't know you. Yet, I knew you, and these [disciples] have known that you sent me.
25
“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
26 I have made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love you have for me will be in them and I will be in them."
26
I have made youknown to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
