English Standard Version ESV
The Message Bible MSG
20 "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
20
I'm praying not only for them But also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me.
21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
21
The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind - Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.
22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
22
The same glory you gave me, I gave them, So they'll be as unified and together as we are -
23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
23
I in them and you in me. Then they'll be mature in this oneness, And give the godless world evidence That you've sent me and loved them In the same way you've loved me.
