The Disciples in the World

13 But now (A)I am coming to You; and (B)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My (C)joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and (D)the world has hated them because (E)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from [a](F)the evil one. 16 (G)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (H)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as (I)You sent Me into the world, (J)I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I (K)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be (L)sanctified (M)in truth.

20 “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; (N)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, (O)so that the world may [b]believe that (P)You sent Me.
