⁹I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours.^* ¹⁰All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.^* ¹¹And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.^* ¹²While I was with them, I protected them in your name that^t you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost,^u so that the scripture might be fulfilled.^* ¹³But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.^v ¹⁴I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.^* ¹⁵I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.^w^* ¹⁶They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. ¹⁷Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
