John 17:13-21

New International Version

¹³ “I am coming to you now,^(A) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy^(B) within them. ¹⁴ I have given them your word and the world has hated them,^(C) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.^{(D) 15} My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.^{(E) 16} They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.^{(F) 17} Sanctify them by^[a] the truth; your word is truth.^{(G) 18} As you sent me into the world,^(H) I have sent them into the world.^{(I) 19} For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.^(J)

²⁰ “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹ that all of them may be one,^(K) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.^(L) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.^(M)
