John 17:7-17

7 Now they know that everything ¹that you have given me is from you.

8 For I have given them ²the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ³I came from you; and ⁴they have believed that you sent me.

9 I am praying for them. ⁵I am not praying for the world but for those ⁶whom you have given me, for ⁷they are yours.

10 ⁸All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ⁹I am glorified in them.

11 And I am no longer in the world, but ¹⁰they are in the world, and ¹¹I am coming to you. ¹²Holy Father, ¹³keep them in your name, ¹⁴which you have given me, ¹⁵that they may be one, ¹⁶even as we are one.

12 ¹⁷While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ¹⁸guarded them, and ¹⁹not one of them has been lost except ²⁰the son of destruction, ²¹that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 But now ²²I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ²³my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 ²⁴I have given them your word, and ²⁵the world has hated them ²⁶because they are not of the world, ²⁷just as I am not of the world.

15 I ²⁸do not ask that you ²⁹take them out of the world, but that you ³⁰keep them from ³¹the evil one. ^[a]

16 ³²They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 ³³Sanctify them^[b] in the truth; ³⁴your word is truth.
