John 17:12-22

12 When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

14 I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15 I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

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

17 Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world;

19 and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.

20 And I do not demand for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

21 that they may be all one, as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;
