John 17:13-26

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) 22} I have given them the glory that you gave me,^(N) that they may be one as we are one^(O)— ²³ I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me^(P) and have loved them^(Q) even as you have loved me.

²⁴ “Father, I want those you have given me^(R) to be with me where I am,^(S) and to see my glory,^(T) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.^(U)

²⁵ “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,^(V) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.^{(W) 26} I have made you^[b] known to them,^(X) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them^(Y) and that I myself may be in them.”
