John 17:9–17

⁹I pray for them.^z I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,^a for they are yours. ¹⁰All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.^b And glory has come to me through them. ¹¹I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,^c and I am coming to you.^d Holy Father, protect them by the power of^b your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one^e as we are one.^{f 12}While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by^c that name you gave me. None has been lost^g except the one doomed to destruction^h so that Scripture would be fulfilled.ⁱ

¹³“I am coming to you now,^j but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy^k within them. ¹⁴I have given them your word and the world has hated them,^l for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.^{m 15}My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.^{n 16}They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.^{o 17}Sanctify them by^d the truth; your word is truth.^p
