John 17:11-26 ▼

11 And I am no longer in the world; and these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep, in Thine Own name, those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as we are .

12 While I was with them, I was keeping, in Thy name, those Whom Thou hast given Me; and I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 But now I come to Thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

14 I have given them Thy word, and the world 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 one .

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

17 Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.

18 As Thou didst send Me into the world, I also sent them into the world;

19 and in their behalf I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 And I do not pray for these only, but for those also who believe on Me through their word;

21 that they may all be one, even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I 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 to Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and lovedst them, even as Thou didst love Me.

24 Father, as to what Thou hast given Me, I desire that they also maybe with Me, where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; because Thou didst love Me before the founding of a world.

25 O righteous Father! and the world knew Thee not; but I knew Thee, and these knew that Thou didst send Me;

26 and I made known to them Thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which Thou lovedst Me may be in them, and I in them."
