John 17:9-26

MNT^{(i) 9} "I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine, ¹⁰ and all thine are mine, and mine are thine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one. ¹² While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I dedicate myself, that they also may be thoroughly dedicated in the truth. ²⁰ "Nor do I pray for them alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word, ²¹ that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee; that they also may be in us; in order that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. ²² And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one, ²³ I in them and thou in me; that they may be made perfectly one, so that the world may recognize that thou didst send me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ "Father, it is my will that wherever I am these also, thy gift to me, may be with me, that they may see the glory, my glory which thou hast given me, because thou didst love me before the foundations of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father, though the world knew thee not, I have known thee, and these have known that though didst send me. ²⁶ And I have declared—and will declare—thy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
