John 17:8-23
-
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
-
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
-
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
-
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
-
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
-
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
-
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
-
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
-
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
-
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
-
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
-
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
-
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
