John 17:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And I am[a] no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep[b] them in[c] Your name which You have given to Me, in order that they may be one, just as We are. 12 When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given to Me. And I guarded them, and none of them perished— except the son of [d] destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to You. And I am speaking these things in the world so that they may have My joy made-full in themselves.
