John 17:9–17

⁹“I pray^D for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,^an because they are yours. ¹⁰Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,^ao and I am glorified in them. ¹¹I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.^ap Holy^aq Father, protect^E them by your name^ar that you have given me, so that they may be one^as as we are^at one. ¹²While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded^au them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction,^A so that the Scripture^av may be fulfilled.^{aw 13}Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them. ¹⁴I have given them your word. The world hated^ax them because they are not of the world,^ay just as I am not of the world.^{az 15}I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.^{ba 16}They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.^{bb 17}Sanctify^bc them by the truth;^bd your word is truth.
