John 17:20–26

Christ Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who 1will believe in Me through their word; 21 gthat they all may be one, as hYou, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the iglory which You gave Me I have given them, jthat they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; kthat they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 l“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; mfor You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! nThe world has not known You, but oI have known You; and pthese have known that You sent Me. 26 qAnd I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love rwith which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
