John 17:14-24

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.

22 And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

23 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

24 "Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.
