John 17:6–19

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 I have revealed Your name u

to the men You gave Me v from the world. w

They were Yours, You gave them to Me, x

and they have kept Your word. y

7 Now they know that all things

You have given to Me are from You,

8 because the words that You gave Me, z

I have given them.

They have received them

and have known for certain

that I came from You. a

They have believed that You sent Me.

9 I pray b for them.

I am not praying for the * world

but for those You have given Me, c

because they are Yours.

10 Everything I have is Yours,

and everything You have is Mine, d

and I have been glorified in them.

11 I am no longer in the world,

but they are in the world,

and I am coming to You. e

Holy f Father,

protect g them by Your name h

that You have given Me,

so that they may be one i as We are j one.

12 While I was with them,

I was protecting them by Your name

that You have given Me.

I guarded k them and not one of them is lost,

except the son of destruction, l

so that the Scripture m may be fulfilled. n

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.

14 I have given them Your word.

The world hated o them

because they are not of the world, p

as I am not of the world. q

15 I am not praying

that You take them out of the world

but that You protect them from the evil one. r

16 They are not of the world,

as I am not of the world. s

17 * Sanctify t u them by the truth; v

Your word is truth.

18 As You sent Me into the world, w

I also have sent them into the world.

19 I sanctify Myself for them,

so they also may be sanctified by the truth.
