John 17:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 I will not remain in the world any longer. I will return to you now. But they will still be here in the world. Holy Father, please keep them safe in your name. That is the powerful name that you gave to me. Then they can be united in the same way that you and I are united. 12 While I was with them, I kept them safe in the power of your name. That is the name that you gave to me. I kept them safe so that only one of them turned away from you. That was the man who had to become lost. The Bible already said that it would happen in that way.[a]
13 Now, Father, I will come to you. I am saying these things while I am still in the world. Then these people, my disciples, can be completely happy. I want them to be completely happy in the same way that I am happy.

John 17:11-13
New King James Version
11 (A)Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, (B)keep[a] through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one (C)as We are. 12 While I was with them [b]in the world, (D)I kept them in [c]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and (E)none of them is [d]lost (F)except the son of [e]perdition, (G)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
