John 17:6-19

6 "¹I have manifested Your name to the men whom ²You gave Me out of the world; they were ³Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ⁴kept Your word.

7 "Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

8 for ⁵the words which You gave Me ⁶I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ⁷I came forth from You, and they believed that ⁸You sent Me.

9 "⁹I ask on their behalf; ¹⁰I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom ¹¹You have given Me; for ¹²they are Yours;

10 and ¹³all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet ¹⁴they themselves are in the world, and ¹⁵I come to You. ¹⁶Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ¹⁷which You have given Me, that ¹⁸they may be one even as We are.

12 "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name ¹⁹which You have given Me; and I guarded them and ²⁰not one of them perished but ²¹the son of perdition, so that the ²²Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

13 "But now ²³I come to You; and ²⁴these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ²⁵joy made full in themselves.

14 "I have given them Your word; and ²⁶the world has hated them, because ²⁷they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from ²⁸the evil one.

16 "²⁹They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 "³⁰Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18 "As ³¹You sent Me into the world, ³²I also have sent them into the world.

19 "For their sakes I ³³sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be ³⁴sanctified ³⁵in truth.
