Yochanan 17:16

16 They are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.

Yochanan 17:16 Meaning and Commentary

John 17:16

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
] These words are repeated from ( John 17:14 ) , where they are given as a reason of the world's hatred to them; and here, as showing that they are exposed to the evil of it; and in both are used as an argument with his Father, that he would take notice of them, and preserve them.

Yochanan 17:16 In-Context

14 I have given to them the dvar of You and the Olam Hazeh has had sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) of them, because they are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.

15 I do not make a bakosha that You take them out of the Olam Hazeh, but that You keep them from HaRah.

16 They are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.

17 Set them apart for a use that is kodesh in HaEmes (The Truth). [1Kgs 17:24; 2Sm 7:28] Your Dvar is HaEmes.

18 As You sent me into the Olam Hazeh, so also I send them into the Olam Hazeh. [TEHILLIM 119:142, 160]
