John 17:9–19

⁹I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine.

¹⁰And all my things are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them.

¹¹And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given me: that they may be one, as we also are.

¹²While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept: and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition: that the scripture may be fulfilled.

¹³And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.

¹⁴I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world.

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.

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

¹⁷Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

¹⁹And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
