John 17:11-21

11 I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

12 While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 "But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

14 I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

17 Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

18 Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

19 and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

20 "Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

21 that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.
