John 17:20-26

20 "I do not ¹ask for these only, but also for those ²who will believe in me through their word,

21 ³that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ⁴they also may be in ⁵us, so that the world ⁶may believe that you have sent me.

22 ⁷The glory that you have given me ⁸I have given to them, ⁹that they may be one even as we are one,

23 ¹⁰I in them and you in me, ¹¹that they may become perfectly one, ¹²so that the world may know that you sent me and ¹³loved them even as ¹⁴you loved me.

24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ¹⁵with me ¹⁶where I am, ¹⁷to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ¹⁸before the foundation of the world.

25 ¹⁹O righteous Father, even though ²⁰the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.

26 ²¹I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love ²²with which you have loved me may be in them, and ²³I in them."
