John 17:11-15

11 And I am no longer in the world, but ¹they are in the world, and ²I am coming to you. ³Holy Father, ⁴keep them in your name, ⁵which you have given me, ⁶that they may be one, ⁷even as we are one.

12 ⁸While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ⁹guarded them, and ¹⁰not one of them has been lost except ¹¹the son of destruction, ¹²that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 But now ¹³I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ¹⁴my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 ¹⁵I have given them your word, and ¹⁶the world has hated them ¹⁷because they are not of the world, ¹⁸just as I am not of the world.

15 I ¹⁹do not ask that you ²⁰take them out of the world, but that you ²¹keep them from ²²the evil one. ^[a]
