20 ‘And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me; 21that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

22 ‘And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one; 23I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

24 ‘Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

25 ‘Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me, 26and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.’
