John 17:9–19

⁹“I pray for them. ^qI do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰And all Mine are Yours, and ^rYours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. ^11sNow I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, ^tkeep ⁴through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one ^uas We are. ¹²While I was with them ⁵in the world, ^vI kept them in ⁶Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and ^wnone of them is ⁷lost ^xexcept the son of ⁸perdition, ^ythat the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴I have given them Your word; ^zand the world has hated them because they are not of the world, ^ajust as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but ^bthat You should keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ^17cSanctify ⁹them by Your truth. ^dYour word is truth. ^18eAs You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹And ^ffor their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
