Jesus Prays for the Disciples

17:6 “I have revealed14 your name to the men15 you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you,16 and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed17 your word. 17:7 Now they understand18 that everything19 you have given me comes from you, 17:8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They20 accepted21 them22 and really23 understand24 that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 17:9 I am praying25 on behalf of them. I am not praying26 on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.27 17:10 Everything28 I have belongs to you,29 and everything you have belongs to me,30 and I have been glorified by them.31 17:11 I32 am no longer in the world, but33 they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe34 in your name35 that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.36 17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe37 and watched over them38 in your name39 that you have given me. Not one40 of them was lost except the one destined for destruction,41 so that the scripture could be fulfilled.42 17:13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience43 my joy completed44 in themselves. 17:14 I have given them your word,45 and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world,46 just as I do not belong to the world.47 17:15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe48 from the evil one.49 17:16 They do not belong to the world50 just as I do not belong to the world.51 17:17 Set them apart52 in the truth; your word is truth. 17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.53 17:19 And I set myself apart54 on their behalf,55 so that they too may be truly set apart.56
