5
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9
I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a]your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
12
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[b]that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
14
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
