John 17:13-24

¹³But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them.

¹⁴“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

¹⁵I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the malignant one.

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

¹⁷Sanctify them by Your Truth; Your Word is Truth.

¹⁸Just as You sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe into me through their word;

²¹that they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I in You; that in Us they also may be one, so that the world may believe that You sent me.

²²In fact, the glory that You gave to me I have given to them, so that they may be one just as We are one:

²³I in them and You in me, so that they may be perfected into one; also so that the world may know that You sent me, and have loved them just as You have loved me.

²⁴“Father, those whom You have given to me, I desire that they also may be with me where I am, so that they may observe my glory, which You have given me, because You loved me before the founding of the world.
