John 17:13-26

The Disciples in the World

13 "But now ¹I come to You; and ²these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ³joy made full in themselves.

14 "I have given them Your word; and ⁴the world has hated them, because ⁵they 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 ⁶the evil one.

16 "⁷They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 "⁸Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18 "As ⁹You sent Me into the world, ¹⁰I also have sent them into the world.

19 "For their sakes I ¹¹sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be ¹²sanctified ¹³in truth.

20 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;

21 that they may all be one; ¹⁴even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ¹⁵so that the world may believe that ¹⁶You sent Me.

Their Future Glory

22 "The ¹⁷glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

23 ¹⁸I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that ¹⁹You sent Me, and ²⁰loved them, even as You have loved Me.

24 "Father, I desire that ²¹they also, whom You have given Me, ²²be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ²³glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ²⁴the foundation of the world.

25 "O ²⁵righteous Father, although ²⁶the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that ²⁷You sent Me;

26 and ²⁸I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that ²⁹the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
