John 17:7-18

⁷Now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you,

⁸for I have given them all the words that you gave me. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

⁹I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

¹⁰Everything that is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and I am glorified in them.

¹¹I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they will be one, just as we are one.

¹²While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I protected them, and not one of them was destroyed, except for the son of destruction, so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

¹³Now I am coming to you, but I am saying these things in the world so that they will have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

¹⁴I 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 do not ask for you to take them away from the world, but for you to keep them from the evil one.

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

¹⁷Set them apart by the truth. Your word is truth.

¹⁸Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
