The King James Version Bible

John 17:9-26

  1. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

  2. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

  6. 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.

  7. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

  8. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

  9. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

  10. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

  11. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

  12. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

  13. 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.

  14. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

  15. 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.

  16. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

  17. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

  18. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
