John 17:13-24

¹³And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.

¹⁴I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world; as I also am not of the world.

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.

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

¹⁷Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

¹⁹And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;

²¹That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²²And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:

²³I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

²⁴Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.
